This a Facebook “Company” that offers Maine coin kitten adoptions. My mother paid for the initial deposit and then received an email from the transportation department needing an additional (“refundable”) $400 only to learn the kitten was delivered to Tennessee rather than Fl and needed an additional “refundable” $1500. They have blocked all correspondence and scammed her out of the money she was left with from her husband who passed less than a year ago. She paid with PayPal but foolish enough to agree and pay through friends and family which is not covered under the protection.

I went online to buy a Maine c o o n kitten and pictures of kittens a peered, and then I got an email from the company saying that the kitten was $500 plus $250 for shipping. I told the man I didn’t have that much money, so he just let me pay for the shipping and when I received the kitten I could send him the rest, so I agreed to that when she was on the plane they told me that there was a fee for the electric crate of $850, but I would get that refunded back, so I agreed to that I got the tracking number and I knew where she was we’ll then a pug puppy that was on board had some type of contagious disease, so she had to be quarantined for a few days we’ll then before they could release her they said there was a quarantine charge of $950, but I would get that back when she was delivered, but I didn’t have it so when I contacted the man (jade) he asked me how much I could pay, so I paid $500, and he would cover the rest then when. So they were going to ship her the next day I would have her by 4 pm we’ll since they had her for a few days longer they wanted to charge me another $500, but I wouldn’t do it I told them no more money the other company that was transporting her was Boothdoor pet delivery.

I was scammed by chihuahuagarden.com on August 23, 2023. I supposed to purchase a chihuahua puppy but I didn't receive a puppy.

I paid $820 to Richard Clem (breeder), I used Zelle to send my payment for the puppy (Zelle to Arthur Young - [email protected] - REF# PP0RHR264V - I LOVE SEAN). I communicate with him thru text messages at (915) 339-3407 and email: [email protected].

I paid $1790 to Jack Reck (shipper of Continental Pet Relocation Delivery Service) for the Air Conditioned Pet Travel Crates Rental (thru Zelle to Delana G - (929) 624-7386 - REF# RP0RHS36V5). I communicate with him thru phone (915) 248-0451 and email: [email protected]. He said that it is 95% refundable upon the arrival of the puppy at home.

Later, Jack Reck informed me that the puppy is put on hold because the pet needs insurance at Saint Louis International Airport. I paid $1500 to Jack Reck (shipper of Continental Pet Relocation Delivery Service) for the Refundable Pets Life Insurance Fee ($700 - thru Zelle to Delana G - (929) 624-7386 - REF# RP0RHSS2F2 and $800 - Apple Pay to +19177497492379 REF# 8c0740758764). He said that it is 95% refundable upon the arrival of the puppy at home.

It's too late for me that my relatives and friends told me that chihuahuagarden.com is a SCAM and it is included in the list of Pet Scams at the websites.

Again after 8 hours, Jack Reck informed me that the puppy is put on hold again because the pet needs Vaccination and Rabies Shot at Saint Louis International Airport. I need to send $1300 and It is refundable also upon the arrival of the pet. I didn't send a money anymore because I learned that it is a SCAM. I tried to call him for the refund of the money that I send but he refused to give my money back. According to him that the puppy is already at Saint Louis International Airport. He said also that if I don't send a payment, FBI will arrest me for the abandonment of a puppy at the airport.

I lost for the total of $820 + $1790 + $1500 = $4110. This is a big lesson for me. As of now, many online websites are fraud. I need to be careful next time especially when I send the money.

I tried to contact my bank, ***** ***** to dispute or reverse my payments thru Zelle and Apple Pay. Since those apps are considered as cash payment, they can't reverse my payments and the money that I send to them are totally lost.

Sadly, the address of the breeder, Richard Clem: 5228 Saxon Drive, El Paso, Texas belongs to the real owner, ******* ******. The address of Continental Pet Relocation Delivery Service is 3324 Durazno Avenue, El Paso, Texas 79905 belongs to American Packaging and Supply Co.

I would like to request for your help. My bank told me that the payment transactions that I did will be reversed if I have a police report and FBI reports.

I hope that you can help me to arrest the people who are the victims of chihuahuagarden.com.

When attempting to pay a down payment for the puppy the account phone number for the Zelle was different than the contact number. They continue to contact for funds and become aggressive as well. Then when the funds are received immediately stated we were going into the bank, they stop all communications. Got a bad feeling from the start, glad we listened to our "gut"

He took 700 of my money for a parrot delivery included. I paid him with 2 transactions through cash app. Weird he requested it under 2 different names. Claims he jad a business partner. He went through castleanddelivery. I received a message from them they wanted 975.00 for a electronic crate n the bird was still in texas. The .sn asked me to send him 500 n we pay the rest. I said no I have no more money. You said delivery included. I looked up the delivery company n he put it under his name as joseph smith. Now thats 3 different names. I searched the internet n found a picture of him on parrots home but it says Joseph smith the same picture of the man is deceased

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]

4. Would only take Payment using PayPal or Zelle.

5. When used PayPal was told to use “Friends and Family” option.

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.
I do have all our text messages and messenger messages.
I told them both Same on you.

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.
