Thanks everyone for sharing your experience. I know some of these are a couple years old but it looks like the same scams.
I cannot say anything about the site or person I was working with, because when I asked for a name I never got it.
I did not do any business with this site because of what I have read here on this site. I thank each of you very much and if you did lose money and never got your pup I am so sorry and hope you were able to find an honest business to work with.

After reading several way to find out if a site/breeder you are working with is legit.
I found Don’t stop asking questions like.

Can we FaceTime with you to see you and the puppy we are wanting? ( match dog the photo)
Are you AKC affiliated? You can check if they say yes
Is the Litter of the puppies we are looking at AKC certified. You can check AKC list too make sure.
Ask is they are BBB affiliated so you can call or pull them up on the BBB site.

I started asking these question, when breeder I was working with agreed to drop 500.00 if I got Two poodle complete price, including shipping. RED FLAG.

ONCE I SENT THE QUESTIONS AND TOLD THE BREEDER I WAS NOT BEING DISRESPECTFUL BUT NEED TO ASK DUE TO ALL THE INTERNET SCAMS GOING ON.

I NEVER GOT A REPLY UNTIL I ASKED AGAIN SO WE COULD PROCEED.
THE ANSWER I GOT WAS I WAS BEING DISRESPECTFUL.
( I ended the conversation by sending the breeder several sites showing them as scammers.)

Be safe do your research and remember all questions asked to a breeder should be answered knowing there is way to many scams going on to not ASK.

Few months a go I have been scammed by Merit Puppy Shop/puppies shop from same reason as all these innocent people. I have complaint to the BBB (Better Business Bureau) that day of. As I was searching something for my puppy I recently got, Puppy Shop popped up. I was curious & checked it out. Ashely N. aka Ashely Mack is the same girl who scammed me & still scamming people with this new "Puppy Shop" name. Besides the new name Puppy Shop, everything in their website is exactly still the same, with the same dog, same scamming motto 5th year anniversary, buy one @$499 get 2nd puppy 1/2 off for $299.00, free shipping. Any authentic puppy breeder/seller will accepts credit cards. Scammers will not, they only want you to get a certain prepaid gift card so it cannot be tracked. Then Ashely uses American Domestic Freight (name of her scamming carrier). When they send you a notice saying need to pay $1,000 for special pet crate, don't do it, it's a scam. I was on to them when they were named Merit Puppies Shop & even then the [censored] scammers tried to send what suppose to look authentic notice from the airport carrier that the puppies cannot be shipped because the dog did not pass inspection. PLEASE PLEASE DO NOT BUY INTO THIS, they're scammers! First indication is there's no address, phone number. Nobody picks up the fake number at American Domestic Freight. another number you get busy signals all day. I hope that Ashley, Brandi Perkins, and guy at American Domestic "Patrick" is caught & put in jail ASAP! I honestly urge anyone who's reading this & haven't bought their puppy, PLEASE DON'T! It's a scam. Once you're onto them, they will use a different online name but their website & puppies are all the same. Ashley is the only one that replies. She is the scamming sales girl. Please report these scammers Ashley N/Ashely Mack & friends/family- Puppy Shop to the Better Business Bureau (BBB). We need to stop her from scamming more people! If you want a puppy, just find one locally. I did. Paid little more, but at least it's local, you can see the puppy and bring it home.

Initial means of contact Not applicable

Online purchase Sunwood pugs San Antonio TX
I started this process over a month ago, I felt something was up when I could only pay by Zelle, 1050.00. I paid. Over the last month I have been in contact with the vendor only by text message. Yesterday, as I was checking in again, to make sure I was going to get this puppy on the 23rd for my daughter, they then told me I had to make a 1500.00 deposit for a special carrier for transport. I called the airline, who had a accent and told me I would get it back on the day of delivery. So, I started to do some research starting with scammers, and found out that Sunwood, was also Ironwood, and the owner went by Michael and several last names. I went to their website which was now down. I am trying to get my money back, but that would be lucky.

They got me too. I purchased a Maltese puppy for $499 via Zelle on Friday. I was assured that he would be at my house on Sunday. On Saturday I received the email from American Logistics Freight about needing me to pay a refundable deposit for the special crate to transfer my pup in. I paid that via another Zelle payment. I never received a puppy. Fortunately I had discovered the scam by now because today (Monday) I received an email that my puppy was in New Mexico (was supposed to be a direct flight from San Francisco to Denver) wanting me to fork over another $2000 for insurance coverage- 98% is refundable upon delivery. I replied to them that they weren’t getting another penny from me and I want a full refund. I’m sure I won’t hear back from them again but I have to ask for my refund. Looking back I feel so stupid for missing the red flags of which there are several. Please do not give your money to Super Puppy, Shop4Puppy, Super Puppies or any other associated companies.

I believed I bought a puppy for $499 on line at the Elite Puppy Shop in San Fransico, California on Saturday, November 14, 2020. Special price for their fifth year opened and included transportation.
American Logistics Freight was the company used for transporting the puppy. They emailed that I needed to spend money for a special crate due to COVID 19. and would be refunded when crate was returned.

Both companies wired money through Zell. No problem wiring through Zell the $499 for the puppy but I had a problem using Zell for the crate using the name Taylor Rice so. I had to to get two Vanilla prepaid Visa gift cards, each for $500.
I have tried to contact both business on several occasions without any response or my funds being refunded. Please be aware of these two fraudulent companies.
Their websites are so nice I never thought of being scammed but I was.

Cheryl. Lost $1499.

Thank you for your honesty. I tried to purchase a puppy today and it was because of this that I hurriedly cancelled my transfer. They used the same name and promotional ad and everything. You helped save me from getting scammed today. I appreciate it so so much!

Same experience as above. We purchased a puppy with the request to Zell Darius Smith $499. Then we received a follow up email that additional money was required to American Logistics Freight. Again another Zell which seems strange now because it was another individual named Taylor Rice. The business website looks legit however when you call the numbers listed (805-996-0210 and 805-517-45050) it is very obvious there is no freight company) DO NOT send them any money!

Same thing happened to me. Paid for two puppies. Told I needed a special crate $1000 each, paid it with CashApp and through the app at my bank. The next day told they had to have another $1500 or they would have me arrested for neglect and have my puppies sent to a pound.

I tried to purchase a puppy online from Puppies Shop yesterday and went through the cash app but was unable to get enough transferred to pay for the puppies. I saw this website a couple of hours later after planning the final payment for this morning. Now they do not answer my online chat nor contact me via e-mail. I wish I had seen this earlier I would not be out my funds.

Puppy scam

Bought puppy for 499

Then airline got payment of 998 1500 for special crate for covid and insurance alll deposits to be refunded on delivery

the airline American Logistics Freight

was also involved

Both companies wired money through cash app and when went over daily limit told to get a one Vanilla prepaid Visa card for 500 at CVS

Sent money to breeder to be forwarded to airline with cash app and VISA

After that airline emailed a bogus affidavit demanding another 1500 and that the dog was in my city but need shots and a pet permit. Threatening to have the pet ministry press criminal charges against me signed by supposedly immigration attorney and Logistics manager

I told them to pay for the shots and permit and I would reimburse them after they deliver the dog

Because the money was supposed to be refunded to me anyway

After that the emails stopped

No dog was delivered

They had my personal info and I had to get LifeLock to protect me from identity theft

I sent a portion of that affidavit looking info they emailed me attached

Phone used for logistics ###-###-#### called self customer service

No phone for breeder and when I asked the origin of the puppy I got no response

On puppy website advertising chihuahua called Lissy with AKC papers shots given and health certificate shipping included with 30 day money back guarantee as long as the puppy has not left the facility

Go figure what kind of guarantee is that

Their web page starts out “About us” claiming to be a family business

Cash app tags the used
