Online Purchase - Puppy Scam

My name is Heather Genereux, and I’m the owner of Malinois Puppy Palace, located in downtown El Paso, Texas. We are a state-licensed and reputable breeder with over a decade of experience dedicated exclusively to the Belgian Malinois breed. Our commitment to responsible breeding, health testing, and early socialization has earned us a strong reputation across the country. This is how email started when I enquired about the puppy I was interested in. Email required me to give answer multiple questions about ever owning this breed of dog, for example: Have you owned a Belgian Malinois or a similar breed (such as a German Shepherd, Dutch Shepherd, or Doberman)? What is your experience level with high-energy, working dogs? Do you have a fenced yard or access to a safe space for daily exercise? How much time each day can you dedicate to Apache’s training, exercise, and supervision? What types of activities or training do you plan to provide for Apache? Are you familiar with the Belgian Malinois breed’s working temperament and high energy levels? To move forward, please reply with your answers to the questions above and include the following information: • Full name • Phone number • Email address • Shipping address (if delivery is needed) • Name of your nearest major airport After the questions, they emailed back puppy pics were sent with options to pay. $710 for puppy and $250 for transportation to my nearest airport for pick-up. Then she sent me the phone number to start texting for faster communication. Tried to pay total with Zelle but unsuccessful. Attempted to pay directly through business webpage unsuccessfully, then finally through their Facebook acct I was able to pay but they were only able to charge $845 on credit card. I was to pay remaining balance at a later date to complete adoption and set up date for flight and pick up. Then I began to read comments on Facebook about people not getting their pets. I text Heather and she began to tell me she was Facebook verified, part BBB, and had many positive reviews. So I asked if I could call her and she said yes but to a different number. So I called it and the voice had a slight accent and did not sound like the Heather on the FB page training the puppies. So I told her I was reporting the business and wanted a refund. She texts back on the first number that, that was her and how could I tell it was not her. That I had never spoken to her to know what she sounded like. So then I asked if I could face time her on FB messenger and she replied of course, do you think I'm afraid of you. I stated I was not threatening her but I wanted to make sure she was who she said she was. I called 3 times to facetime her with no answer and no other replies to any of our previous forms of conversations. I observed another attempted charge for $450 on my credit card that I was able to stop before cancelling my card and calling my credit card company for a replacement.

Online Purchase - Fluffy Balinese Cats Home

These pet scammers almost enticed me to pay close to $800 for a Balinese kitten delivered in person from El Paso Texas to Seattle airport. When I realized it would cost at them at least $400 for a return airfare, I grew suspicious. So I told them I’ll be in Texas soon and would like to come view the kittens. They said I couldn’t do that unless I put a deposit on one and wouldn’t supply their address or telephone number. Also you’ll notice that the kitten pictures all have different backgrounds, obvious deception here.

A Facebook post indicates that the New York store was “completely destroyed” and that the owners—two grandmothers—could no longer continue operating. They decided to go out of business to spend more time with their families, explaining that they simply couldn't compete with larger retail chains. I’m reaching out regarding an order I placed earlier today. Within minutes of placing the order, I attempted to cancel due to concerns about your refund policy and the unclear sizing charts. Despite acting quickly, my debit card was still charged, and I have been unable to reach anyone from your customer service team—even though your website states that support is currently available.

They knew my name, address, details about my home (size and year built) and mortgage company. Asking for 189/month for home warranty coverage for two years. Conversation was long and unprofessionally after multiple attempts to decline the coverage. Asked what company they were calling from and they said “you called us”. Finally said the company was Direct America. Said they would put a “red flag” on my mortgage if I did not accept and have to pay 3500$ Which I finally got out of them that 3500$ could be the cost of an inspection if I was to apply for a home warranty elsewhere.
