I was going to purchase a maltipoo pup from a lady in Homewood. She and I talked by email several times. When I asked about the pup on the advertisement, she would not answer until finally she told me that she only had two pups left and the pictured pup had been sold (I assume). This person is a fraud. In our initial conversation she said that Homewood is where she used to be but she is in Chicago now. She rushed to tell me all the arrangements. Now I just saw the ad again, the pups are now in Daphne Alabama. This woman a fake and a froud. I hope someone adopts these dogs to get the away from this women, who, evidentily is scaming people with that beautiful pup in the add.

I PURCHASED A TEACUP MALTESE FROM A LADY NAMED NANCY GALLAGER. THIS WAS THRU THIS SITE, PUPPY WAS FOR GRANDAUGHTER AND I. WE HAD LOSS OUR MINI PIN, GOD TOOK HER HOME AND WE BOTH ARE STILL MOURNING THIS TRAGITY. I STILL CRY, SORRY I AM CRYING NOW TRYING TO WRITE THIS. I KNOW THAT NO DOG WILL EVER REPLACE TINY. WELL BACK TO THIS COMPANY, THE OWNER TEXED ME ASK QUESTIONS ABOUT ME MY HOME ETC. SHE TOLD ME THAT IT WOULD BE $300 FOR PUPPY AND $150 TO FLY HER TO ME. AND I WOULD GET HER BEFORE CHRISTMAS. WELL NO PUPPY, NO MONEY BACK. TRIED TO CONTACT COMPANY SEVERAL TIMES AND THEY WILL NOT ANSWER ME. YOU NEED TO FILE CHARGES AGAINST THE COMPANY AND SELLER! I HAVE AND I AM GOING TO TAKE IT TO THE FULLEST EXTENT.AS FAR IS THE RATING YOU ARE WAY BELOW *******

Texted and spoke to this scammer cell#*******041. Sent pics and a video that can be Googled that was posted/dated in 2013. The video can be found on YouTube under Cute Blue French Bulldog Puppy. Scammer telling stories about his mum dying and wanting the puppy to go to a Christian home! He says he works in Washington DC, staying in Maryland, the Dogsnow post list Franklin Lakes, No. This guy is pure evil! Don't send him your hard earned money! DO NOT USE THIS SITE!

Horrible! This site is crawling with scams. I was very interested in a puppy that ended up being a scam. I researched the email the supposed owner was contacting me from and it popped up in multiple places. I looked up how to not be scammed and was very surprised to find every question the advisors said I should ask when asked caused the person to not respond to me. So I went and found there were the same pictures of the same dogs in supposed different locations. And boy do the scammers keep their mask up well with a good story. I sent a message to Dogs Now saying it was high on the list of priority and it's reporting multiple scams and 2 days later they still have not responded. Do not use this site unless you want to pay money for a dog you'll never get! Don't be fooled. Especially when the site takes their sweet time about getting back to you on something so urgent! I would proudly give them zero stars for ratings.

These people are free to call us a scammer with no cause and certainly no proof,,, which they dont seem to care about proof or resolvement of an issue. I couldnt get them to give us a fair shake,,,,, and said how do you get good animals and breeders on this sight if you dont have any idea who you are talking to or dealing with?,,,,,, or what is your price to stay on the sight?,,, these people are nasty to deal with and you are guilty instantly which tells me they are covering for something else,,,,, cause I know I am legitimate,,,,! Think they are letting fellow breeders cut off their competition,,,, oldest scam in the book!
No use with these people,,

Adorable, lovable, and playful little fluffballs! These registered Pomeranian puppies are family raised with TLC and socialized. Vet-checked and up to date with their shots and dewormed. Come with Health Guarantees and Health Records.

I have been looking for a Welsh Pembrooke Corgi puppy for about a month and my first search I found one they said was located in Colorado and the person was in the military and needed to find home for 2 puppies (1 female and 1 male) and I told them I wanted the male but had to wait until I got paid and the lady decided she would hold it for me and I had a suspicious feeling about it and decided not to proceed. I started looking for local people for puppies and all three in the Washington DC and Virginia area. As soon as I said I was in the area and wanted to see the puppies before I purchased it 2 of the people never responded and the one that did gave a sob story about his daughter passing away and the puppies being hers and he wanted to sell them for $300 each and he said he was located approximately 40 miles from me I asked when I could see them and he changed his story saying he was relocating to Texas as of tomorrow and if I wanted he could ship them from Texas at a later date. I explained I want to see the puppies before I buy them and that was the end of our communication. Buyer's beware! Don't go on this site unless you want to be ripped off

SCAM is bigger than just one person. I was informed of another transaction who was smart and called me. Columbus GA TO ATLANTA is a short drive to pick up a pet. They would not allow pick! HOW do you fly it only two hours away for the cost. Name used this time is TOM FLARE. SAME ADDRESS AS SCAM PARTNER MICHAEL TROUG AND WIFE BERYL. ADDRESS (work) they are using is 3106 EARLY ST. NW. ATLANTA GA. *******. Both used same photos of puppies. Secondly SCAM French bulldog puppies were used. (Will send anyone photos of both) OH. SHIPPING FACT; *******895. They wanted $1850. 00 from me for shipping containers? Said my puppies were in New Mexico also said they were Government shipping agency (IS THAT ILLEGAL?). Wouldn't give name of company and l was STUPID ENOUGH to want them l would of payed the extra $450 they wanted from me if it was upon delivery not MoneyGram like they wanted. Actually this site maybe not fully be at FAULT BUT they really need to check there Clients. THERE FAVORITE SAYING IS PLEASE TRUST US DONT. CAN FOWARD there words upon request. I really took to that puppy buy the photo reminded me of my first God bless her.

We came across an ad for a pug puppy for sale in Metairie, LA. This person only text messages (RED FLAG). We asked where he was from... Ohio (RED FLAG); however he offered shipping through www.pet-express.com. Pet expressed seemed legit, they have a website... right?!?! He asked for our email to email us some pics and videos of the puppies. We fell in love with one right away and were very excited. He said her name was LULU.

Then, he asked when we wanted her and guaranteed to have her to us in just a few days. His email address was *******@gmail.com.

Next, he asked me to wire him Money from Walmart to Giano Marchigano in Youngstown Ohio. Once the payment was complete, I was to send him the 9 digit receipt. He had all the paperwork complete, but wouldn't send me a copy. (RED FLAG)

I asked... how will we be guaranteed receipt of LuLu if we sent the money first?

He replied, " When you pay and I do all the flight boarding paperwork, I I will have access to full verification codes so you can check status and movements." (RED FLAG)

At this point he became very pushy and kept restating that the demand was high and that I needed to hurry and secure her. (RED FLAG).

****I then began researching his the names Jason Thunder and Giano Marhigano in Youngstown, Ohio. They do NOT exist. Then, I researched the reviews for dogsnow.com. Most of the reviews stated the site was FRAUD"!

So, I asked him how old the puppy was. He stated 4 weeks old (RED FLAG). I'm not a vet, but I thought puppies couldn't be sold until 6-8 weeks old.

So, I asked, "What do I feed such a precious baby?" There was a long silence... then he responded that he would send all the instructions with the dog. (RED FLAG)

I then told him we wanted to prepare for her and insisted on knowing what to feed her. Long silence again... then he responded,"Royal Canin... you can get them groceries easily." (RED FLAG)

I asked him to provide me with proof that he was a legit dog breeder. Papers? Reviews? Past clients?

He stated that he would send me a video of them playing with the dog calling my name. (RED FLAG).
He badgered my a couple more times to send payment and called me rude for not responding. When I did respond to let him know that he did not provide me with proof and that I thought he was fraud, he called me "a psychopathic person, and that the puppy would suffer in my care."

STAY AWAY FROM THIS GUY! I am choosing not to use this site. Its a shame the legit breeders have to suffer.

Do your research before finding a family pet!
Do NOT send money to some one before receiving the goods.
Look for clues of fraud & trust your instinct.

DogsNow website is total SCAM! They email you sob stories to make you feel upset, then they ask about you... so I was emailing this guy name Peter with a North Carolina area code but stated he he now lives in North Dakota, he listed North Carolina because he was trying to get rid of the puppies quicker. He then gave me such a sob story about how he was in the military and was in a bad accident and how he just wanted his puppies in a loving home, so we emailed back and forth for a couple of days and I even spoke with him on the phone, couldn't understand him, he did not speak good English! So the day comes where he was going to send the puppy to a delivery carrier and I asked him the carrier name and he gives me this link

http://www.usaircargo.yolasite.com/

DO NOT TRUST this site TOTAL SCAM! Yolasite is a site where one can create their own site for free. So I emailed him back and asked him for another picture of the puppy and asked him to write a sheet of paper today's date and he totally went off on me staring he's already dropped the puppy off and I do not trust him so I knew then that it was definitely a SCAM!

Not to mention an hour later my boyfriend found the same Puppy on a different website in GA area with the same number as Peter. So BE CAREFUL! He didn't get me so I'm helping you! :)

Don't waste your time on this site. Reached out to several sellers of dogs. They all want to ship you a dog after you send them money. They advertise that they are in one place but then tell you the dogs are somewhere else or they just moved or some other lame story. A lot of them seem to not be able to use proper English. That's not to say that there aren't people that English may be a second language but really. They will list multiple listings with the same dog or dogs that are not even theirs. THIS SITE UNFORTUNATELY IS A TOTAL SCAM. AVOID AT ALL COSTS!

TOTAL SCAM. IF YOU RECEIVE A RESPONSE FROM MONITA RAJPA BEWARE OF A SCAM. A MADE UP STORY WILL BE SENT AND A REQUEST FOR INFORMATION.
DON'T SEND MONEY AND STAY AWAY.

DON'T USE THIS WEBSITE WHEN SHOPPING FOR A PET. (DOGSNOW) - PET SCAM

All scams here folks. They send you pictures of somebody else's pup, get you and your children to fall in love with it over the internet and start spending with your heart instead of your head. Then they suck as much money out of you with promises of a puppy arriving until you realize that you've been scammed for $1400. 00 and leave your kids with broken hearts. I didn't spend anything because I read the reviews. One scammer is *******534 and his other number *******656. It's two numbers from 2 states that go to his google voice number. He will text only. Ask you for your email and what kind of pup you're looking for and you'll get an email that is a sob story that's copied and pasted from the oldest craigslist scammers.
Avoid these horrible horrendous people at all costs. Even the Dogsnow site has the same "watch out for scams" warning that craigslist has. Dogsnow says to report bad people but there is no way to do so.
Please, don't walk, RUN from this horrible place that uses our love of animals to suck your credit card dry
