Online Purchase - Puppy Scams

Scammers advertised selling teacup maltese dogs. When I inquired they immediately engaged and started emailing me answers to all of my many questions. Very friendly but not sure if answers were AI generated. Requested funds through Zelle before they would ship me the dog (with a free shipping special). I did not send money. Instead I asked for info about their veterinarian and more pictures of the dog. They sent me info about a scam vet with a shell website and no business phone number. The additional photos they sent were obviously stock photos of dogs. When I questioned this they no longer responded to me.

Online Purchase - Online Purchase - Sparkpaws (Spoof / Imposter)

I “purchased” dog clothing via an instagram post. The item never came & customer service claims the refund failed. I have been emailing to get my refund for months now realizing it was all a scam. The email said the following: 

Thank you for contacting and supporting us.

Let me explain the refund process. Refunds usually take 15-25 business days to process and arrive in your account. However, it might take longer due to your bank or card issuer's processing time. Our payment processor is also experiencing delays due to high transaction volume.
Rest assured, we're actively working with our payment processors to expedite the refund process wherever possible.

If you have any other questions, please feel free to reply to us, we will be happy to provide you with help and after-sales service.
Sincerely,
Customer Service Team

Online Purchase - Occasionalous

Ordered - seemed legit. Ordered on April 21, 2025 - kept asking about delivery - kept getting sent tracking to a "tracking hub" company with updates. Finally they said it was delivered June 2. I didn't receive it. I took the email to the post office and they said the tracking number was not legitimate. I'm now emailing them and they are not cooperative.

Online Purchase - Prime logistic carriers (Maine Coon Kittens)

I tried to get a Maine coon kitten online through permainecoonkittens.com based out of Oklahoma. He said he was going to ship the kitten but on the day of the shipping a carrier company called me and said I had to pay $1600 for a special crate for the cat to fly Once I paid that then there was a $2000 certificate of health fee and then there was another $3000 cargo fee and it kept going up from there. I asked to talk to a manager. They put me on with another manager who kept telling me that Cat was getting ready to fly, but I had to pay for an airline tickets, then I had to pay for a special shot for the cat for the flight and then I had to pay the breeders late fees because the breeder didn’t pay the correct amount. The breeder never told me any of this. He said he was going to ship the kitten from Oklahoma to Bradley, but they intercepted the kitten in New York and took my kitten hostage. Once I proved to them that this kitten was false because this kitten pictures were stolen off of another Instagram or’s website. They said they would refund all my expenses. I just had to pay all kinds of extra fees via bitcoin then I would get the kitten. That never happened. I then had to pay an IRS fee for a permit, etc. etc. I am now at close to $50,000 in many promises of getting all of my money back from this “manager named Scott, but that hasn’t happened and he is still trying to contact me every day to give him more money and he says he promises my refund is gonna be delivered the next day, but then there is a problem with the truck. There’s a problem getting the money to me, etc..
