American Pet Agency

Owners agreed to sell me a puppy for $400 with $100 shipping fee. The next day sellers told me Ivan needed to speak with a "shipping company" which required that I give them an additional $2000 for an air-conditioned crate. When I told him that that was a ridiculous cost and I could not or would not pay that, then suggested we split the cost. I again told them no and offered to set up delivery myself.
They have not given me any solutions to get the dog to me. Will not refund my money. The shipping company they gave me and that has been speaking to me is on known listed scam sites.

I wanted to purchase a pug puppy so I checked online and found this one supposedly out of Texas. Answered a few questions and they told me the fee is $ 500.00 dollars and they will ship the dog to me the next day. They told me that the form of payment I should use is Zelle through my bank. I did it but was a little reluctant. The next day she informed me that she had an emergency to handle and the puppy would be on the plane the next day. The next day she told me it was all set and the carrier would be in contact with me by email. The carrier contacted me and sain that they need money for a approved dog crate to ship the animal. They said it was $ 984.00 dollars for a temperature controlled crate and that I would get a full refund upon delivery of the pet. I told them the only way I would do this is to pay by credit card. They replied that the only method of payment is by an American Express gift card. I then told them that this is a complete scam and I am reporting them to the Revdex.com. They replied, ok no problem.

Insured claims to sell and ship pug puppies with papers for a low price of $400 and $100 for shipping. They don't ever ship the 'dog? phots shown are stock photos that belong to someone else. My brother And I both Emailed about the same dog to see what she would say we both got the same response asking for money and saying that that same dog is available. She did not know we were related use different names to contact her or him. This business is fraudulent

We ordered a french bulldog puppy, Rosie,online from lilyfrenchiepuppies.com. The ad says the purchase price is $400 and $100 for shipping,see copy from the email thread below.
The puppy cost $400 + Shipping cost $100 per puppy . Total $500
The puppy comes along with the following papers:

Lifetime Satisfaction Guarantee.
Health Guarantee.
Airline approved crate.
ISO Microchip.
Health Certificate.
Age appropriate shots.
Food Menu.
Feeding and Training Manuals
Play toys and treat.
Blanket, collar and leash.
All puppies come with a 30 days, 100% money back guarantee. This means that within 30 days of buying a puppy, you can return the puppy for any reason whatsoever to exchange for another puppy or get a full refund.
We sent the money via Zelle to ***@gmail.com. We were informed the puppy would be sent the next morning and delivered the same evening. When we received the email from the pet shipper it informed us we had to pay a 100% refundable deposit of $1100 to rent a crate to ship the puppy in. Now the website and emails all say shipping is covered. We believe this to be false advertising as they should be covering the crate rental for shipping.

Signed contract and paid $1850 for Devon Rex kitten and never received and they are requesting more money
Researching catteries for Devon Rex kittens found Alluring Devon Rex Kittens Home who has a website *** indicating they had available kittens for sale. Their website indicated all the necessary information that made them look like a reputable company. I emailed them requesting information on how their approval process occurred being that I lived in another state. They responded by email with information on how the process would go, the fee, and the transportation process. They sent me a contract which that I signed and sent the $850 from my *** Federal Credit union using CashApp to *** After the money was received, I was told that the kitten would be prepared and taken to the transportation service ABX Transit. I received an email from Rick *** and text stating that the kitten had been received and that the delivery would be Saturday, June 13th around 5pm. Within 1 hour I received another text along with email stating that due to the Covid-19 penal code 67 23 2001, animals of any type could not travel unless they were properly contained and that $1000 was needed for proper protection as the carrier provided was not sufficient. So that payment was through my AMEX through the CashApp to *** again who drove the money to the transporter. From there I was supposed to receive the kitten. I get an email and text Saturday, June 13, from Rick *** stating they are in Chicago IL and that another $2500 was needed to complete this the last leg of the trip. When I contacted the shipper like the first explanation said it was due to the state to state travel certificate they needed. I requested verification of the kitten and location with pictures and was given the reason of privacy acts, secure locations, etc. Then I asked how would the money get to them if the last time I had to go through the original seller the first time if you needed cash? I was told to send to them again. Contacted seller explaining the situation and was told to send the money in three different amounts that were below $1000 and my reply was that they acted like they didn't want the government to know what they were doing and committing fraud. There response was that they didn't want any problems with the money going through. I contacted the transit company and said I would drive there and pick up the kitten myself and inquire about this certificate they stated that was needed to cross state lines. His, Rick ***, was that's not an option and to send the money as the kitten would miss the flight. I told him per his earlier statement, the kitten already missed their flight. In addition I found another "customer" of theirs and called her and she also stated that she was having problems. After that, there was no more communications.

Purchase Date 6/13/2020 -$1850 for 12wk old devon rex kitten - was only supposed to be 150 for the delivery and kitten (700), but the additiona $1000 was indicated for proper covid-19 travel.

Used mobile CashApp to *** for both $850 and $1000 payment

Texted and verbally talked to Rick *** at XXX-XXX-XXXX about the travel arrangements and the additional money of $2500 he requested for certificate and insurance which I didn't not pay

Again, once I mentioned the other person I found that was having the same issues as myself and they were a fraud neither Rick *** or the adoption agency contacted me

On Saturday, 23 May, my wife ***, purchased a mini dachshund seller named 'Ray Dachshund Puppies Home? about buying a puppy named Mike. She paid him $500 for the puppy and shipping and they replied stating they would contact the shipping agent early Sunday morning and we should have Mike by Sunday night. Sunday morning *** received an email from the shipper stating we needed to give them a refundable $984 to rent a special thermal controlled crate in order to ship Mike to our home address. I looked up this up and it is a common scam to require this before shipment. I didn't pay their fee, we don't have Mike, and we're still out $500. Plus, the email address *** used to communicate with them on Saturday is no longer active. Ray's website: https://raydachshundhome.com/. Shipping company: https://nationalpetways.com/

I purchased a kitten online from a cattery who claimed themselves as USDA licensed. I paid in full $850 ($700 for the cat and $150 for the shipping charge) via Zelle. Later I was contacted by the shipping company "ABX TRANSIT" that I need to rent special crate for the shipment because of COVID19 and the rental is $25 but the deposit is $500, which was never mentioned in the contract with the breeder. I paid via Zelle again but the transaction was put on a hold by my bank. I then searched online and the phone number 469-249-2990 associated with the shipping company has been reported on Revdex.com website as pet scam, also on other websites there are people reporting pet scams with the same phone number. I then contact both the breeder and the shipping company, asking for proofs of the existence of the kitten, and said I can pay the $25 upon delivery of the kitten. But the issue was not resolved.

I was purchasing a puppy for my children an put money down so they would hold the puppy came time to go get him and no more communication.
I found this beautiful puppy I fell in Love with I just knew my kids would fall in love with him. It was going to be my gift to them in welcoming summer vacation. I reached out to them gave them my info, I asked if I could put money down on him and pick him up May 16th and pay in full. I was told yes, make sure to keep n touch and if I wanted I could also visit. I kept in touch I messaged them every other day until that Monday before no response back. I kept messaging and I even texted nothing. Thursday May 16th came I was so over joyed and excited I waited all day nothing. I found another number I called it and The guy answered, told me he would have his wife call me so I could come and get the puppy all day nothing. I messaged and called no answers every since then. It's been a week.

I purchased two dachshund puppies from Brandon *** of Dallas, TX. of the cutiesdachshund***.com on March 3, 2019. I sent two payments of $300.00 each and two of $198.00 for shipping. He advertised AKC registered, health guarenteed, refund or exchange if not satisified. I was curious why he wanted Western Union and not my Credit card. I know now that if he accepted my CC the bank would have fought to get my money back when after talking an calling and emailing him for a week I got no puppies. He is working with another scamming freight company called *** Ltd. of Dallas, TX. On their tracking information it says sent from *** Dr. Dallas, TX. XXX-XXX-XXXX http://***.com. I got a call on Monday Mar. 5 saying the puppies need a special crate which I would rent for $1500.00 which would be refunded at pickup. I had to pay them in three $500.00 gift cards from Wal-Mart. Again I thought this was fishy but I had already paid for the pups. So I did it,the next day they were back again saying the pups were in OK and I needed to buy a thousand dollars insurance for each pup in Wal-Mart gift cards. I said no that they were scammers. They swore they were legit and called me from another number with a manager supposedly. I did not know what to do so I paid it. I got scammed for $4700.00! They all had foreign accents which made them hard to understand. Once they got all the gift card numbers they did not respond to any emails or calls. The dogs are still on the website for sale pictures and all. I haveall the receipts and correspondence on my phone. I want them stopped so others don't get scammed and I want my money back which I guess won't happen. BUYER BEWARE.

I contacted Sparkling Maine Cs to have a kitten shipped to me using this company. No cat was delivered and the company does not exist
On March 28, 2019 I contacted a company online called Sparkling Maine Cs about buying a Maine Cs kitten and having him shipped to Canada. The kitten advertised is Oscar, everything went well until I received a delivery confirmation email from a company called Global Logistics Ltd to verify the delivery details on March 30, 2019. I tried to correct and confirm my address and delivery times because the tracking number brought up the wrong information. There was no phone number on the website so I googled the address of 6567 E Mockingbird Ln in Dallas Texas. Then a lot of complaints came up. I sent Sparkling Cats an email asking about this and there is no pet transport company called Global Logistics Ltd. On March 29, 2019 I sent a moneygram of 4557 Canadian to purchase the maine Cs kitten. I called the man at Sparkling Maine Cs named John *** XXX-XXX-XXXX in Washington DC and John gave me some run around that hackers hacked the website and the cat will arrive. I do not believe him after doing research that the address for Global Logistics Ltd is not a valid address.

Needs to be a ZERO star! Here are facts, presented themselves as Royal Dachshund Puppies in Minnesota, but gave same Houston area code phone number as on this "American Pet Agency" listing & indicated licensed in North Carolina, which AKC says is not true (also Not Licensed in Minnesota either) Revdex.com listing only shows a list for Royal Dachshund in Dallas Texas with also the same Houston phone number & address does not even match the zip code identified. Too MANY misdirection attempts here to be safe. Would suggest avoiding at all costs.

I was promised a yorkie by a woman I had emailed who only requested I make the payment to ship the dog. pet gatewa was the company she referred me to.
On the night of February the 5th I was browsing craigslist for a pet to buy off of someone. I have done this before so I was certain i'd find a deal just like I previously had. On that night I found a posting that said it wwas gving away two yorkie puppies named Roxie and Loki, intrigued, I contacted the lady giving them away and asked if they were still avaialble. Her contact email was ***@gmail.com. We sent a few emails back and forth until we agreed that she would have Roxie shipped to me. In the morning of February the 6th she emailed me to let me know that she had dropped off roxie at the agency (petgatewayexpress) and that they would email abd text me about my information to proceed with the shipment. The first contact I recived from them was through text in which they informed me that they had acquired my information and gave me a tracking order number and tracking link. Soon after, I recived an email from ***@consultant.com, which instructed me to pay with walmart gift cards and to send a picture of the cards and the recepits to make the payment. they sent me a text accepting the payment and that the order would be processed. 3 hours later they texted me to check my inbox in which they sent an email informing me that I needed to pay $200 for a thermal electronic crate as the crate that "Lisa" had used was an incorrect one. again I procceded to pay with walmart gift cards and they payment was accepted, I was notifed that they $200 would be reimbursed at delivery. I received a text (XXXXXXXXXX) confirming that the dog was on its way and would arrive in the moring. Soon after I spoke to some friends who helped me see that I was being scammed, so I decided to stop all contact after. The following day petgatewayexpress texted me to check my inbox once again for an email which stated, that the dog had reached my destination, was located at a non-existant veterinarian but that I had to pay another $400 dollars in walmart gift cards for insurance purposes and that I would get it reimbursed upon delivery. I declined to make the payment and upon checking trcking number they had given me had disappeared. I have reason to believe that this Lisa R ***@gmail.com closely works with petgateway.

I recently purchased a puppy from
Potentially possibly apart of scheme Mary Kyla
Cellphone used to contact me for sending puppy off
XXX XXXXXXX
***@gmail.com
*** San Jose, CA XXXXX

Apparently this lady sent a puppy using this company ( Golden-CircleMovers) and they emailed me about payments for crate. Insurance, vaccine, and transportation fees.

The puppy was suppose to arrive today and I never received a puppy and they are still asking for more fees.
All together they managed to get a total of $3,170 out of this scheme

So I started being suspicious so I finally did my research
