I was reached out by this person Carey Mattox. Stated I could purchase a puppy from them professionally and legally. I gave the seller $975. Seller SUPPOSEDLY took puppy to pet carrier company and I never received puppy or any further communication

We reached out through their website to adopt a puppy. After receiving many pictures and videos that look legit and a contract we agreed to pay the $250 deposit that they required to be paid through Zelle or Venmo. Once the deposit was made the communication because rare and often made no sense. They agree in writing to not have the final balance be paid until the puppy arrived. They also created a fake shipping website called Inteltransportlogistics.com to give us a fake tracking number. At this point they claimed to not remember saying full payment was not due until the puppy arrived and said the puppy was at the shipping company and would only be shipped once we paid. We said that much of their information was not accurate and this was not what was agreed to so we would not be paying this until she arrived. They then became aggressive and stopped communication when we confronted them about the scam.

2. Was contacted through email with email address: [email protected]

3. Was told to send payment to husband that was different then email contact: [email protected]

6. Payment was sent and Seller claimed they never got payment.

7. I called PayPal and they said Payment went through, but seller still claiming they never got payment.

8. Seller keeps stalling with emails as to fake reasons not to ship product

They advertise Balinese kittens for sale. they promise delivery by a courier delivery service. they answered all questions I had perfectly. they requested 500 dollars per kitten, I asked for 2 so my bill was 1000 dollars. I picked my kittens off their web page. They told me shipping would be an additional 180 dollard. a contract was e-mailed to me signed by them in the name of Morgan J Noellie. i received text messages with info about the progress of getting the kittens from Florida to me in Colorado. the shipping company Skyline Pets Delivery Company www.skylinepetdelivery.com, corporate address 616 Hunt Corporate, Drive Lowell, AR 72745 contacted me and said they had the kittens and were registered in my name and would be shipping them out sunday night the 6th of august 2023 to arrive to my address no later than 3 pm monday the 7th. when it got close to that time I checked back with the seller and asked what was going on where were my kittens. She said to check my e-mail that she had forgot to tell me about the insurance needed to ship the kittens. I had received an e-mail from the shipping company stating I needed to purchase 995 dollars worth of insurance to protect the kittens. I read the insurance policy and noticed improp[er sentance structure and also they said the insurance was required by the SPCA and some government agencies that don't exist. I then knew I had been Scammed. These people were very good, very convincing and at times refered to their Christian backround.

www.kimteacuppoodled.com, lavernesteacuppoodles, and cuddlesomepoodles.com are all fake site selling high end dogs but the are in various locations have no real business info available stop contact with u when u ask for it and list pricing at a fraction of any other breeder online. The pictures are the same for several of the puppies with different names and prices, and the sites are all setup exactly the same. They are bad people and need to be stopped.

They asked me where I lived, normal questions about buying a kitten. But then they were pushy, wouldn't FaceTime me so I can see them in person and sent me a crappy photoshopped photo of the kitten's parents when I asked for it. They did not get to far with me as I researched pet scammers ahead of time.

We were trying to purchase a Munchkin Kitten and came across this website https://www.munchkincatteryhome.com/. They have cute pictures and once you inquire about a kitten, they will send you pictures and video of the kitten. Then they will have a questionnaire for you to answer (trying to build a bond and make you feel that they really care about their kittens). Once the purchase agreement is set, then they will ask you to choose a payment platform. We chose Zelle but it looks like all their Zelle info was not registered. Then we used PayPal which worked. But the scammer kept on insisting that we do Family and Friends so they get the money right away. We chose Products and Services, so we are covered. Then text messages were exchanged between the scammer and us. Next day the scammer asked for money to ship the kitten at least so we get the kitten and then they will return it from the initial payment which was sent via PayPal. Once we made that payment, the scammer supposedly took the kitten to a shipping company which no one has heard of "ExcellentTransGlobal" and told us that the shipping company will reach out to us if anything is needed.

The shipping company indeed reached out to us and told us that the crate the kitten was in is not correct and we need an AC crate which requires a refundable deposit of $999. That just through too many RED FLAGS and I backed out.

Maine C o o n kitten for $300.
Needed $100 through PayPal. Several names to send it to.
Asked Venmo. Didn’t have. Try Chime. Said No. then said get a gift card. Scratch back off give him numbers. I said no. Venmo is legit. His wife got Venmo. Another crazy name. Got in touch with other breeders/Dealers - told me he was a scammer. Accept 1 -
Jay Mark. Telling me thru messenger he’s legit in business with him.
Once I had proof. I told him I was reporting him. Now I cannot find anything referring to him.

Sent a contract agreement. Signed explained process and said they would send itinerary. Received a call stating needed more money for an AC crate that was refundable for 2800. Told the seller he could fit the bill since agreement on payment was already reached and if it was refundable it shouldn’t be a problem. Then all emails stopped.

Purchased a Yorkie puppy from yorkiepuppiesforadoption.com; paid $550.00. Puppy was to be shipped via Pet Travel Solutions; PTS keep coming up with reasons to ask for more money. Latest reason was because the puppy needed an additional shot prior to being allowed to cross the MN border. The PTS email: ***************************. They required payment through paypal

A couple showed up at my doorstep after driving 12 hours from Chicago to pick up a beagle puppy that they had made a deposit on. This is the fourth couple I have had show up at my doorstep looking to pick up a puppy. In the past, the puppies were Boston Terriers and a different website. Also, in the past they would only accept cash app. This time they allowed them to use PayPal to make the deposit, so hopefully they will be able to recover their money.

Showed pictures of a dog, identified papers for the dog and agreed to ship the dog. No dog was received. I have emails of the very descriptive process and agreement.

Pet scammers! Once I informed seller that my bank ID them as fraudulent and that I could not find them on the ScamPulse.com or TICA websites, they sent several mean and aggressive text messages. Once I blocked the number they sent more text via a different number.

They are running a puppy for sale scam. They had my friend pay the account on venmo ‘makeuptiff’ for a dog then asked for more payments for secure shipping.
