[@mitchellmaytorena1137]

This scam is truly hurtful. They are praying on people who desire the love and compassion of a puppy. I’m a single father and I recently got a yorkie for my daughter and I. It used to get lonely with only us two. Our yorkie means the world to us. It would of been devastating if we got scammed.

I will say that anyone who gets scammed by this was not being responsible and would be likely to have gotten a puppy from a puppy mill if this wasn't a scam. I don't know of any reputable breeder who would wouldn't even ask questions or be willing to send more pictures of the puppy.

Very true! The way they write is a dead giveaway. And if you ask enough questions they goof up. Always ask when you can come see the animal. That is a dead giveaway too.

I wanted to get a puppy off of craigslist once. The ad stated they lived in my town but when i contacted them they had some story about how they had just moved and now would need to mail me the puppy and such and they sent me pics of the “dog” and what not..... they wanted me to pay for the shipping to send the dog out. glad i was smart enough to see through their crap so i didnt fall for it. 1. If a listing is too good to be true for a dog, it is. 2. If they post it in your area and then claim that they no longer live there or whatever it is a scam. 3. If you cannot see the dog in person (only allow you to see pics), it is a scam (dont fall for videos) 4. If they ask for prior payment to mail a dog, it is a scam.

@Cerus98 Hi! I volunteer at a non profit pet shelter and that is NOT always the case. The fee helps not only the shelter, but for the animals. For example, the adoption fee for an older dog is normally $75 and pays for neuter/spay, microchip, HW test, and probably something else I'm missing. Some also helps the shelter stay open. Without shelters, it would be a disaster. Please don't spread misinformation.

My wife found someone offering some adorable puppies near us, and started the conversation. After watching this video weeks ago, I thought it was important for her to see it. It was - she recognized the scam as soon as the other person asked for a rehoming fee, and a deposit. She hit them with lots of questions, and the story fell apart.

My family and I were looking for a puppy and we spent months looking for an actual person who doesn’t scam people. We always asked a ton of question, I also noticed that they answer very quickly. If you are skeptical about the person selling you the pup you can wait a day or 2 or maybe even a week, if they have a website (witch they normally do) you check the age that they put if it’s the same you can tell them “hey I looked at he pup sometime ago and it says it’s still the same age. Would you mind sending me a video of the puppy of how it’s doing rn?” Or before waiting some time, you can ask them to video call, meet up with them in a local place with the puppy, or search up the email. I did that once cause we were skeptical of the person who was giving out the doggies, so I searched up their email and it said that they where a scammer and lie about their location, and that they were actually located in Russia. I check the website of a so called breeder that was a scam and the puppy that we were going to get is apparently the same age from months ago so I’m thinking of reaching out to them as if I was interested in getting Blue (that’s the name of the puppy)

[@d_girl17]

I went through so many dog scammers, now I can already tell who is a scammer and who is not. All the scammers ask the same long and so many questions. Now if i want a puppy, I only choose the place where I can view the puppy myself and pay in full amount (no deposits ) when I go pick up the dog.

[@Edendog]

It’s not safe to visit puppies like that, though. You can track diseases in and reputable breeders do not let random strangers into their homes to shop because they aren’t a pet shop. Just find a good breeder who will FaceTime you, with the puppies, and asks you real questions and gets to know you!

A similar scam is still going on, I just had to save my grandma from wasting her money on this scam that offered "realistic" robot dogs that just used B-Roll footage of real dogs.

[@aspenpawarts9333]

Moral of the story: Always rescue. The dogs need a home and are often cheaper, as well as being guaranteed not a scam

[@SinfulKitty]

but they arent purebreed or well bred

I am trying but most in my area at pitbull mixes and our home insurance goes up I am looking for a small lap dog as ours of 16 years recently passed. but I keep looking

[@arislondon4650]

Fun fact, I saw a similar dodgy listing when I was 13 for a white chihuahua, no info whatsoever. The price was 100$ so I saved money for 2 weeks and I sent it via bank transfer. Surprising thing is, I actually received a healthy white chihuahua which has been my best friend for more than 8 years. This video makes me realise how lucky I was not to get scammed lol

Omg. I got dog scammed months ago. The person did all these red flags that I ignored, but I really wanted a dog. Now looking back i see how vulnerable i was and believed everything that was presented to me at the time. Its sad. Also I think there's a lot of sites out there that are for spell casters, or casting spells. People buy spells from them. Could you do a video on that?

Step 1 to avoid pet scammers: get your pet physically and don’t be isolated

Me too. 😏😀 I found Pleasant Green when I was searching for Online Scams or something like that. And Pleasant Green had a video about being scammed by Wish. 😀😏 And the rest was history for me. 😀😏

I literally JUST got puppy scammed over the last couple of days. I'm absolutely heartbroken. I spent $400 on toys and supplies for the puppy, scheduled a wellness checkup at the vet, told my friends and family, and then...no puppy. I'm absolutely heartbroken. I lost $1,495 to the scammers plus what I spent on the items, and my confidence in pet ownership as well as confidence in my own intelligence. But they were incredibly tricky and I wasn't aware of the warning signs. As soon as I realized I was being scammed, ALL the red flags became so clear, it was crazy. I could give a list a mile long of all the things to watch out for.

[@gr122]

next time tell them to send you more photos of the same puppy, look at them carefully to see if it is the same dog, a scammer sent me photos of different dogs I could see the markings were in a different place, but I knew it was a scammer from the beginning I was just testing him

[@johnl.kessler8137]

I really enjoy your videos! I love how you tell the story of you owning them. I do like how you’re able to get through to some and make a difference. Great work!

[@meemadomer5718]

me: “Na not buying that scam bruh” sees a kitten ad: y-e-s

[@weldmaster80]

Same thing happened when I was trying to buy emus, your tips of IP grabbing saved me from sending 300 to Cameroon.

[@canman2506]

A KZbin scambatier explained in one of his videos that VPN's are a scam themselves, that they don't really do much at all.

[@madspinkston6104]

I just got a puppy 2 days ago from online. She’s amazing. You just need to ask a BUNCH of questions before you ever pay them.

[@dawnrodgers9466]

Unfortunately I've been scammed by three so-called internet breeders in a week trying to find a puppy for my son it's absolutely disgusting

this vid will help me so much since I have ALMOST been scammed for a puppy but now Ik how to look out for those scammers!

[@PJ-Loogie95]

The way I got my puppy is from a website where you can ACTULLY go to the owners and not only dogs you can get cats other pets and goats FRICKIN GOATS

[@sauce773]

There's also Facebook scams with puppies or kittens. In a group I'm in there's always a person saying so and so is trying to sell puppies or kittens and to contact her/ his friend and when you contact their friend they want you to pay shipping for the animals before even choosing the puppy you want.

[@redtarka]

Instead of trying to save money on a breed dog by going to dodgy websites, just get a rescue. It's a dog, not a fashion statement..

[@thelthrythquezada8397]

Them frackers got me when I was in AK (2015), my computer was messed up and I called a number and so I did, but since the Rich American business owners wanted to outsource our jobs to cheap labor in Asia I didn't think anything of it. Slowly I am starting to believe that they broke into my computer and bugged it with that message so that I had to call them to pay for them to clean it. NEVER AGAIN!

[@wetshlovesusa2898]

I LOST MY DOG OF 20 YEARS, HE PASSED AWAY, AND I REALLY WANT A PUPPY... I DID TALK TO SOME ONE IN "DC", THESE PEOPLE, AND I WAS SCAMED FOR $1800.00 THE PUPPY NEVER CAME...😭 I DID REPORTED.

[@tealnoise]

I'm sorry for your losses 🙏

[@aot2002]

happened to my 67 year old dad and they took 1400 from him and never shipped the dog. police wouldn’t do anything about it. website even had a scam tracking website too.

[@applenuggets662]

When you can’t see them in person then don’t fall for it

[@liamdrover5481]

This is the most wholesome channel

[@UknownWorlds]

Well God bless you. We need more people like you. Now guess where all these scams are coming from? Craigslist. I live in Jersey but from I see these scammers have infested NYC & NJ and other tri state areas.

[@aubreytwins]

My grandma fell for this when I was younger and it broke my heart

[@rushrule1]

If someone is dumb enough to be scammed by that, wow! They need to seek help, I mean come on!!

[@amritgarcha7076]

Simple thing is just ask for a video call and if they don’t agree it’s a scam

[@sallykerr2785]

It is quite easy to fall for some of this because they are very clever. I got answers to my questions, videos, and great testimonials….all fake. Caught on just in time and the money order got cancelled within hours before it would have arrived. Next day, site was no longer up. The address they were using had no knowledge of them and were on the lookout for the money delivery and may have been caught, possibly for using their address.

[@Latanyanhall]

Thank you so much for this video, I almost got scam too for a boxer pup and I used the google image and found out some of the images were on multiple websites with the same dog.

[@david09baz]

I love puppies! ❤️

[@TheSagerider]

I went through a very similar situation yesterday attempting to get an American Staffordshire Terrier. They wanted me to use Apple Pay or Zelle no PayPal, cash up front. I did some checking and the phone number the lady gave me had an area code from southern Florida though she was saying she was in New Mexico. She then told me she did have PayPal and gave me a yahoo address to send the money to. I checked this and it was in Canada. WTF? Scammer! No thanks!

[@sluxx]

Love your site, but using a VPN doesn’t secure your shopping or makes it safer !

[@boink800]

Yes and no. A VPN is not a cure all for 'security', keep that in mind.

[@boink800]

@James skorpio 'Security' is just an illusion.

Using "military grade encryption" means they do the minimum
