I contacted the “seller” that I was interested in adopting one of their puppies. They contacted me through email, provided me with all the information about the dog and the process of flying him out to me. He said it would cost $759 total, and that a $400 deposit was required to hold the dog. So I paid him through Zelle, he gave me his information, Nathan Neymbo. Then I paid the other $300 4 days later but he said he was having a hard time receiving the money the first time so he gave me another Zelle account, the name was Larry Davis. Then today 11/19/2022 I was told he had made all the arrangements to fly the puppy out and that the agency would contact me with the flight information. The “agency” contacted me over email and told me that due to climate conditions they needed to upgrade to crate to a temperature controlled crate that would cost an extra $780-1300. That’s when I started getting suspicious, then the agency called me and the number came from a Colorado number and the guy who spoke could barely speak English.

I have text messages where they stopped responding and wanted me to send more money

I was looking for a young female African Grey bird, I was chatting with another person who also was selling but they seemed like a scam as well, then talking with the other the one who did scam me, the way they talked at first seemed like they were reputable, till they said something about some paperwork that was the big flag telling me there scamming me, by this time I had given the $130. When they started to ask for more I said No & for them to please give my money back, to prove they weren’t scamming me they refused, so there is a very good Chance the address they gave me is fake. I just want these people caught and stopped, this is not the first time I have been scammed. I thought I could avoid it happening again, But they got me again. Hopefully never again

Purchased a dog from their perosn online talked over the phone amd thru emails. Cash appears him 750$. The next day was told we needed to pay for a create to ship the dog in by the pet relocation company in Oklahoma. It was 1500.$

The website had kittens for sale. I contacted them about a kitten I was interested in and we began the transaction. The original cost of kitten was $550, plus $150 for shipping and handling. They asked for Zelle payment. I don’t use that so told them I could use Venmo. My first transaction was put on hold for 21 days, due to how I did it I think, so I sent them another $700 that went through. I have not received the kitten. I will now submit a report on the shipping company.

The lady is running a FAKE PUPPY SCAM. She tried to get me for $800.00 dollars. Enclosed is the fake bill of sale.

We went to a online site and bought two frenchie puppies for 1399 they emailed us promptly every time we talked and seem very legit but was not when it came to a crate we needed to buy for there shipment which cost 992 so all that money is gone now no dogs no nothing. All this money went throw Zelle

I was looking for a puppy - found what seemed like a reputable guy on FB. Yup sounds bad now that I write it. His name is Francis Mvoto and he has a Teacup Poodle FB page. He and the shipping company want me to give an 800.00 “refundable” insurance fee.

I was looking to buy a teacup poodle. I saw one that I liked and picked one poodle puppy to purchase. I was told that a delivery service would deliver the puppy because the puppy was in Florida. I checked out the delivery company Door to door gurus and it checked out as credible. So I purchased the puppy and Oliver’s Poodles sent me an email later for tracking the puppy. I was told that it would be a next day delivery. The next day door to door gurus contacted me and said that the puppy needed a special crate for $*** dollars to protect the puppy from extreme temperatures. In the end I asked Oliver’s Poodles for my money back and got no response.

This company posted on Facebook marketplace as sellers of teacup Chihuahuas. I clicked on an image and they quickly sent an inbox message to me. They claimed to live in Little Rock Arkansas and we proceeded to message back and forth about the puppy I wanted. It was 3:30 p.m. and we agreed that I would pick up the puppy at 6:00. Then the seller wanted personal information and for me to pre pay $150 of the $600 dollar price. I told them I couldn’t do that because there are too many scammers. They kept pressuring and I finally said if they kept insisting that I prepay I would look elsewhere for the puppy. They said no just come now to pick up the dog. They gave an address in Little Rock. We left still suspicious but we hoped. Our suspicions were right the address was a single home and the residents knew nothing about dog sales. I have screenshots of all the communication if needed.

I was looking for a companion pet. I live alone and am a senior living rural and not much contact with others. They sent me multiple pictures of a French bulldog puppy that would be perfect, collected my money by Zelle , account- info@ billingsbiztrucking.com

Seller went by the name of Debbie Heather and had an elaborate Facebook page with testimonials. They had pictures of many cats that were for adoption. When I emailed them they initially sent me a picture of a Pitt bull grey puppy. Then when i reminded them it became 2 male kittens then i went to their Facebook page and there were 2 others, when i asked one had been sold and the other was available. When asked me if i wanted them i had to hurry so his wife could pack his things and get him to the airport. I messaged carriers that delivered animals and couldn’t find a courier less than $600. And this guy offered $ 200 for his courier. He then asked zell, Apple Pay, pay pal. I said zell and he gave me the address of Brandon’[email protected]. Then I changed my mind and wanted pay pal he gave me the name of Laban Boen with an email of [email protected], was resistant and wanted a screen shot of finished transaction. When i told him I wasn’t comfortable, he said this is How he feeds his family and was mad because I didn’t trust him. Finally i said i was kicked out of my bank and the transaction and communication ended quickly.

Purchased puppy for $660, once paid, received email from shipper needing crate fee of $810, after that was paid, puppy was flown to Kansas, then received another email for additional vaccine (puppy didn't do well during flight, needed shot to calm dog down) and permit fee for $790, I only paid $500, they paid balance and was told there would be no further fees required. After that was paid, puppy was supposed to arrive, but never did. Received a text from "Ariella" there was an "expired insurance" fee now due of $790, which I finally refused to pay. Spent two days going back and forth about this fee needing to be paid so dog would arrive in my home, but did not pay and now out over $2,000 and no puppy! Stay away from Ariella Teacup Yorkies!!

This company scammed my family of $1500! Do not send money via zelle. Do not trust their shipper (Pacific Air Cargo LTD). You will not get a puppy and you will not be treated well.

I purchased a kitten from a breeder (whom I also already reported) and this carrier first emailed me with confirmation and tracking number. Then they sent me another email shortly after claiming due to weather and temperature changes, the kitten should have to be shipped in a special temperature controlled crate and asked me to pay $1,850 for the crate plus vaccine from the vet. They said if I return the crate back to them at the time of delivery, then I will get a full refund. I said okay, but asked to use my credit card and that's when it all happened. They insisted I use Zelle for immediate payment directly from my bank. I said I don't want to, then they sent me this link to make the payment and my credit card company didn't process the payment due to possible scam. They are threatening me for abandoning the kitten and that I will be charged $7,000+ for abandoning the kitten. I asked the seller for refund and she's not responding back. These two work together and scam people. Company website is a joke too. Phone number is a joke too. Company is not even registered to do business in Washington.

Found a cat breeder online selling some cats. I reached out to purchase one. Made an agreement, signed paperwork, and then sent money via PayPal, $795. The cat was $650 and shipping was an additional $150. After I sent the money they setup shipping through a company that has been linked to scamming activity, Enshippers. Enshippers emailed me stating that I needed to send them an additional $810 for a shipping crate for which 95% would be refunded. This was to be sent via PayPal Friends and family which seemed odd for a company to require that. That is when I found many posts about the companies scamming activities and decided to report this. The breeder's website is glandishkittens.com.

Puppy scammers

Was contacted by the shipper. That my dog would be shipped Tuesday. 1st they requested a deposit for the crate. Then for insurance and now they are trying to get money for proof of care.

Legit looking website and testimonials. Takes deposits on site or sells parrot eggs and incubators. Minimum $ 300 purchase, eggs soldt. They use Zelle (that's how they got me). Never sends the  product and eventually stops communication. Zelle will not get money back and your bank can't either when Zelle is used as part of your banking service!

i wanted a puppy and they scammed me really bad liars wanted more money backing like a airport to ship the dog weird people
