I am a hard working teacher and my family and I have raised lab puppies for years as a hobby. We relied on Oodle for years and suddenly they remove every ad we post. I have read the rules and regulations over and over and I see no violations - we attempt to run the same kind of ads that used to be ok. Oodle flags them every time and they are removed. I have disputed every one and they never respond with any kind of explanation on what I can do to id and correct a violations. After research, I see that this have become very common practice with Oodle and has left many people frustrated. People who have good puppies to sell are being treated unfairly and consumers are being denied information about pets that could be a great match for them. I just want to know why Oodle is doing this. It feels like discrimination or something. They have wasted too much of my time and they got me at a bad time. They don't even tell you when they flag you!
I inquired about several ads on this site everyone that contacted me back. Contacted me back by email or text only they all had the same story. They are only interested in getting all info on me but when I ask question about the puppies or the so call seller They couldn't give me nothing not even their phone numbers, not even a legit name or a video of the puppies this site is total bull please do not be fooled into sending these $#*!s any money unless you meet them face to face it's a total scam
Why do you permit so many scams on your site! It makes your site useless. Shame on you!
Do not trust anyone on this website!
My wife and I recently went to get a puppy and found a local seller at a reasonable price. The seller was very convincing asking about our local vets, if we have owned this breed before, even showed us a picture of his/her "family" and explained how "Christian" they are. The seller then told us they are on vacation right now in Texas and would have to ship the puppy to us. (Red flag) half way through the puppies name changed from max to jack (red flag) and turns out he/she wasn't on vacation but just bought a home in Texas.
My wife text her from a different phone and asked if the puppies were available only to be sent completely different pictures and was told they are in Maryland right now on vacation.
Don't trust any of these ads no matter how convincing they seem. Especially not one with this number *******759.
This site is a scam. Please never buy a dog from here no matter what the people say. They may seem really nice but they're just being FAKE. They lie and make up stuff, so please just never fall for it.
I feel sorry for every one of you who have been scammed and the fact oodle is doing nothing to help.
Someone close to me was recently scammed for a puppy the same way. Unfortunately for the crooks, they've messed with a computer hacker whom can find out about anyone anywhere so this will be fun exploiting and hurting their scams. They will not be taken lightly and most of the individuals are located in other countries.
I found a French bulldog listed 10+ times. Same picture and number but different names and locations. Before I discovered this I had texted the person bc it said they were in my location when they tell me they are in Maryland. Many states away from me. Please do research and don't do shipping. See the puppy in person.
Every time I would inquire about a dog, it would turn into a scam relationship. This should be removed from the internet and make people more aware of how this works! How terrible and disapointing.
So our dog passed away a year ago and were finally ready to get a new one. I never seen a Cavalier King Charles puppy for only $400 so I was super excited when I stumbled upon the ad... I message the person and found out that they actually did not live in my area but Salt Lake City Utah. They sent me a sob story about the mother dying And they couldn't care for her pets anymore blah blah blah. I was thinking " oh how terrible". Well much to my surprise I received the same exact email Word for Word about the bengle kitty I was also interested in. And when I asked them about it they acted like they didn't know what I was talking about... I should've known that it was too good to be true I'm just mad that I wasted my time... Do Not order from this site. ( unless the people are local and you can check it out in person first) thank goodness I didn't send them any money LOL. I wish I could post screenshots along with this review.
THEY TOOK ADVANTAGE OF ME RECENTLY UPON LOSING MY DOG AND HAD ME PAY $400 FOR SHIPPING. THEN THEY REQUEST THAT I PAY $950 EXTRA FOR INSURANCE! THIS IS A SCAM! THEY WILL NOT GIVE YOU YOUR DOG! DO NOT GIVE THEM A SINGLE CENT!
Looking for a pug puppy that wasn't over priced and not a show dog. Ran across the winkle pug puppies home and thought I found my perfect match. Did not have an inkling any I had already sent the money. Ran a picture reverse search... ALL pictures of pug puppies are pirated. The seller does not disclose there name only the names of their supposed brother and husband. Day two trying to get my money back. Filed a suspicious report online and notified money gram of the fraud.
My ad got flagged for no reason, I'm simply selling puppies and it got removed, yet theres tons of other ads that are doing the same thing
And me being me. I like to see things upfront. This mother effer had the nerve to say he has 2 pups for sale. 350$ each then it went to 450$. The add said located in canal street New York City. So me being from Brooklyn I said well that's not a far ride out we are all located in NYC. So he continues to send me pictures which look extremely professional. He gave me the whole story how they are up to date this and that. So the man ask me how far am I located and he will have to ship them to me. I explained to the man that it's no need to ship anything I'll be heading to the city to meet up with him and I'll have the money when I see the puppies. Then he started this whole new story about how when he made the ad he put NYC canal street by accident. I don't know how it's a mistaken when that information has to phiscally be put in by you. Right then and there it didn't sit well with me. I knew I was about to get scammed. I told the man, I thought he was in NYC this is why I was agreeing to buy due to the fact that I could simply just take the train to get the dogs in person. $#*! that be careful. These brOke mother $#*!ers can't get a normal job so they try and steal hard working people's money. Smh this site is some $#*!ingg bull$#*! and it ruins it for people at actually try to sell their dog. Sad really
3 times now Ive taken the time to place my yorkies for sale & made sure I completely followed all the terms. All 3 times its flagged. All 3 havent been resolved... its total bull$#*!!
This website is full of scams! Stay the hell away! I went on here to receive a cute little English bulldog only to find the so called dog was in "Louisiana" because the owner of the dog died due to old $#*! age and Kimbry (fake old lady's "daughter" ") was giving them away because the English Bulldogs reminded her and the family so much of her mother. The scammer starts going into detail about the dog being named Sam, is Registered, has a microchip, AKC registered and other bs (which all sounded to good to be true) then he starts asking all kinds of questions like who lives in the house because they want to make sure the dog is good care, address, phone number etc and I'm like uh hell no send me some pictures of the dog! He sends pictures of the dog and I save them in my picture file only to find the pictures were taken in 2010! He said the dog were born a week ago! 2nd he claims because they are trying to get rid of the dogs that they are giving the dog away free and I would only be paying for shipping which would be $500. To make everything sound better he states that he wanted everything to be business and secure so we wouldn't have to feel scammed that I would only be giving my personal information to the "Courier" and not him. But still asks me personal info. Just to make sure. I called FedEx they have no pet courier! They deliver no pets at all! And I called other Courier services and they do not deliver pets and animals either! Stay the $#*! away from this site and this Dumbass scammer! He doesn't even know how to scam! Not even good at scamming! Find a new proffession dumbass!
My funds are really short. My son has been asking for this puppy for the past few Christmas. I've never seen this breed for this cost. They want 300.00 for an akc German Shepard. Also from another state. I esss told thel
I received a few pictures of a Maltese female, 12 weeks old, and a heart rendering message from Ryanz Harday, telephone # *******489, who stated that his wife had become paralyzed so had to get rid of the puppy. Oodles ad showed this seller from Indiana, however this seller stated that due to his wife's illness, he had to relocate in N. Dakota for her care. I wired him the requested $350 after which he contacted me that I'd need to wire a refundable $700 to a courier company out of Atlanta, Ga to Josh Eyong. At this point I notified him that I wanted to cancel the transaction. He said he'd already had to spend $100 of the money I'd wired to make the arrangements. I called him three times and he hung up on me!
It looks like Oodles Marketplace would do a better job of vetting vendors who advertise with them! I would never recommend that web sight to anyone! Scam!
So I've been on looking for a Rottweiler. Every person I've gotten in contact with has posted that the dog is here in Chicago. But then when I get in contact with them they are in some random state... This lady so called had work done on her ears so speaking over the phone was not an option "I am looking for a loving and caring home for the puppy where she would be well loved and cared for. I am presently located in Hinesville GA because of my health. I recently had a surgery on my both ears. I am giving the puppy out for free because i am not fully healthy and i do not have much time to love and care for the puppy, that is why i am giving them out. All i am asking you to pay is for the transportation and paper work processing fee of the puppy over to you that will cost you $300 for the puppy to be sent over and delivered to your home" of course I asked for different options and then eventually declined because they are all liars and theives, I see posts about all these people getting taken for thousands of dollars... I refuse to put a pennies percentage into this rediculous site. You would think the owners of this dumb site would see the reviews and start looking into it... If it were my site is abandon it it's obviously been taken over by criminals like an abandoned building taken over by wretched transients ha! I'm not even upset cause I ain't lose no money but I feel bad for the people that did lose money... Smh...
Was on site looking for puppies for sale. Found numerous ads having the same contact number. Also noted different numbers on multiple ads. I contacted them for info and received answers from different names all using the same reply. The only difference was name, new city they had just moved to and contact info. Some using the exact name sent returns to me for different ads saying the exact things but offered different pups in different places. When questioned response had nothing to do with questions asked and avoided giving any further info just kept repeating it self.
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.
