Really bad took my facebook contacts couldnt even post. God only know what they are going to do with it.
I was looking for a dog and the ads are like 3-4 years old. Also for some reason the people selling things have phone #'s that are half XXXXed out/ Whats with that how are you suppose to call them when the phone #'s are only half there?
If you send them a "I have interest" email no body ever responds, doubt if they get those emails, even though Oodle sends you an email saying your request was sent.
I'm done looking on this site
Listed some stuff on Craigslist and had no problems. Thought I would look for other sites and found Oodle. What a waste of time. Same listing I used on CL got flagged as a scam. Tried again with different text but then my account was closed for TOS violation. All within 5 minutes of me signing up!
WASTE OF TIME...
Why does EVERYTHING I try to post to this site IMMEDIATELY get flagged for removal? I will never use this site again! Terrible site!
Why is this website, Oodle allowing people to scam others? All of the fake info that is being used, whose being held accountable?
I have responded to a dozen ads, notifying on e-mail form that I dont have a text phone, but can e-mail me or call me, I list phone number. Thats as far as it goes, never a reply from anyone. Very disgusted with program, I lost out on many pups I wanted to purchase. Very sad.
I've been looking for cats, and not one advertisement I've contacted is legit, they all want your phone number, and they all try to get you to wire money. I've had some fun toying with them, using the message feature but never giving out my phone number, but if this entire website could be shut down, the world would be a better place.
Donna Family Chows is a complete scam. I believed he was a reputable breeder and sent him money for two cream chows. He always answered my calls and e-mails. I had doubts, but of course, the puppies were so cute. He called today to say he was shipping and I felt like I really had lucked out. Then it started with the shipping and special crates and more money. They needed another $1000. For crates! So no chow puppies for me. I hate the loss of the money, but more I am heartbroken
210 area code selling Shiba inu and some shepherds in Raleigh, NC. Definitely a scam, goes by the name Rebecca however changes it. Profile says this person is based in Norfolk, Virginia. I ran the photo through Google and it comes back to a Mexican website. The phone number this person uses is 2I0-971-4612 / *******612. This person always has "Only text me..." and is definitely a huge scam.
This guy on here is running a scam out of norfolk, he's got a 210 area code, and going under the name Jessica, Rebecca, Sandine, and changing it everyday, we're not giving up. You're going down.
Every transaction on this site is a scam, don't waste your time or money, you people are $#*!ed up in the head & are meticulous scammers.
I am reporting this site to the better business bureau in every state, etc Maryland, Virginia and Ohio. You sell adds to people that are advertising scams, you should be ashame. People work hard for their money. They show puppies that don't exist. BEWARE!
*******738-email *******@gmail.com is a complete scam! Saw an add for French bulldog puppies $400 and inquired about it. After, few hours got a response asking for my email so they could send me pictures and choose which puppy is like and a short questionnaire asking common questions any adopter would ask, after going through that process they said they would be willing to send me the puppy I chose. Everyrhing seemed legit until I looked up reviews for the website and realized that the link to the woman said she was located in mass, but her phone number area code said las Vegas and she told me she lived in texas. And the link to her profile was someone living in Tennessee. After a short while she sent me a text message saying I would have to pay via money gram and I didn't respond right away and then she proceeded to send me?. After I asked just to be safe send me a picture of you and said puppy so i know this is not a scam she responded with "my phone is no good and can not send pictures". I then then told her to call me so we could talk personally and discuss what to do if I was being rude and accusing her of being a fraud. No response. Clearly not legit... she told me she had puppies because her mother had passed and she couldnt keep them.
1 *******908 If you see this number it's a scam. English bulldog puppies 500$ and Frenchies... the person says he's in Louisiana because his mum just passed and they are her dogs! Not true these pups pictures are from other old accounts. Please PLEASE don't buy... if the price is to low and they won't text you only email you, and never speak to you on the phone. They are probably scammers... NEVER SEND THEM ANY MONEY! Buyer BEWARE... I didn't send money but after losing our dog and thinking my family was ready for a new pup... just breaks our Again the number is 1 *******908 its an App. Number and he has other numbers also and pups all over... please read this before you buy... thank you
Was looking for a puppy and there were several ads by most likely the same person. They want you to send money, they will ship. I caught 2 of them pretty much at their game.
This site is a complete fraud site. Was looking for French Bulldogs, and it will say that the people selling the dogs are in your area but a.) When you write to them they will say they live in a completely different place far away from your location and b.) they will respond and when you respond back right away they will take forever to get back. It may be two days until you hear back. If someone is truly selling something don't you think they would try to get back ASAP. Completely didappointing website. Would not reccomend using it at all.
I have been trying to contact oodles and let people know that this was my ad. I have already sold these pups! The ad and pictures were stolen and needs taken down, I took down my ad. The number given is *******670. The reply is to d.ep. Do NOT give this miserable creaton your money! This is not his dogs or pictures! Please do not get scammed! I would hate for someone to lose their hard earned money to a miserable excuse of a human. Please let people know they can still ur address, your pictures, and scam people.
I got scammed of of 650 total for a British shorthair kitten for my girl friend for Christmas. I reported the guy. He's back sale kittens. Don't buy from James S. With a 614 area code. He's still has adds post for several diffrent kittens. You want get any kitten. And loss your money...
Please please beware! Wish I had listened to these reviews. Just got scammed trying to get a Bichon dog this morning! The seller scammed me out of $600. Claiming to be a pet travel agency. Emailed me staying the dog needed a new crate, then shots. Asians Asians... they have you put the western union in other people's names... Beware of the name Ishia Wallace and Latasha Patrick. There 2 are from Bakersfield Ca! I filed a police report today and I plan to see this through for all of the people who have gotten scammed! Even if it takes years! I have a 1 star because it made me hit a star.
Scammers! My husband called them abt the puppy & said that the puppy needs a anti-retsovaccine because its a new law! Really?! The guy on the other side was practically arguing back with my husband. My hubby was saying tat customer is always right & tat dude argued even more saying the same crap. Never again!
Answer: This is my experience, no need to try to file a complaint, Oodle doesn't answer it. I submitted inquiries with no result. When you submit a complaint you get a ticket number thru email with a promise that Oodle will get back with you in a certain time span. Well it doesn't happen! I would never send money for a pet thru this website due to the fact they will not help you if you are scammed knowing your complaint isn't answered. I legetically listed puppies for adoption. I do no shipping, listed them in my area and do have the pets I'm listing. Good bye Oodle, I've found a website that is legitimate for my listings..
Answer: Don't get a dog in less u can put your hands on it the people hot me just after my dog passed away and I told them about it and myself having cancer as well I will never trust anyone again and they said they was in the same state as me but was out of town seeing family it's all bull shit
Answer: It's a scam. I got ripped off and got the Fbi and secret service involved.
Answer: I really don't know if they are all scams. I have inquired about pugs being at a distance away but just didnt feel comfortable. I even talked to the sellers but just decided to pass on the chance of maybe losing my money. Hope this helps.
Answer: Yeah why is oodle still operating. This is were the government should step in to protect US citizens
Answer: Obviously the scammers are one step ahead of Oodles... The scammers probably email and complain about the legitimate deals, so they have a better chance of being contacted. Oodles needs to have true Animal lover's be in charge of there site.
Answer: This site is a scam - major scam - - don't ever buy from Oodle. Laden with scammers.
Answer: No. But be very careful of what's offered. If it is too good to be true it's a scam. Also, don't wire any money to someone/business you don't know. You will never see again. Credit card or Paypal. If they won't accept them then don't do business with them. You can recover your money from either.
Answer: I agree with you that most of the listings are scams. I wanted to purchase a Macaw or an African Grey and every ad was nothing but false information. I even had one person send me pictures of the birds he was offering. When reading the meta data for the pictures I discovered that the pictures were older than the birds he was selling. I don't understand how this site has not been shut down because of the amount of misinformation and downright criminal acts that it allows.
