Online Purchase - Puppy Scam

They are pretending to sell yorkies. It is a total scam. I was scammed once before buying yorkies. This website almost got me for $800 this time. The website looks so litigant. Until I called and talked to someone about these yorkies they could barely speak English to answer my questions. I knew right away it is a scam. The same thing happened to be before about 10 years ago for $2000.00 which they got. They are still out there. They must be stopped. I will help in any way I can. Thank you!

Online Purchase - Online Pet Purchase Scam

https://bellamyshepherds.com is a SCAM! He used "Campbelle's Shepherd Puppies" before "Bellamy Shepherds". I looked for location information on the website, with no luck so I submitted an inquiry via the website. The website looks legit. He, "Cameron W", texted me from 615-275-8276, and carried on normal conversation. When I asked about a day to pick up the puppy, he stated he was only available on Friday, Saturday and Sundays. After that text, he claimed he needed a $400 deposit (fine, not abnormal) but requested it via Apple Pay and no other way which threw a red flag. I did not pay him due to not having Apple Pay, and kept conversation going to figure out if this was real or not. I googled the site and phone number, he scammed a male in CA out of $1100 for a dog he never received. I messaged the male on Instagram, as he posted the SAME number and same name of "Cameron" saying he was scammed with a fake puppy, confirming this is a scam.

Online Purchase - King Bull Terriers

Luckily, we did not lose money. When my we tried to send money, Zelle had the number provided flagged as a scam so we stopped and began questioning the so called breeder. We tried to call the number provided and could not get through so we asked them to call us. The person who called back had a heavy accent and clearly not the man shown on the website, "James Walker". Lesson learned. The asking price for each dog/bull terrier through this site is only $700 and a flat rate of $300 to send the dog from Colorado Springs to California. This seemed too good to be be true as several breeder listed on the AKC site list their dogs for at least double the cost. Also, the website does not list a telephone number.

Counterfeit Product

The item advertised was a dog/cat nail grinder called PuppiClaw. I received a different product that was a nail polisher labeled as Smehnser which I could have gotten from Amazon for half the cost. The site says 90 day free return so I tried to return it but they said I would have to ship it to China and pay for the shipping and after they received it they would reimburse me both the cost of the item and the shipping. Not wanting to throw good money after bad I talked them into a 30% discount (still more than I would have paid at Amazon). The nail polisher really doesn't work well. It would take 5 min per nail to polish it down to a reasonable length vs what I would expect with a grinder. I did get the 30% returned. The most concerning is that I thought this was a US company – the web address smartdealsusa.com and the phone number are both US. I was surprised when I saw it was shipping from China. I was even more surprised that I would have to pay for return shipping AND they didn't provide a shipping label. I wasn't sure the item would make it since the addressing is confusing.

Online Purchase - Online Retailer Scam

Order a cat brush from advertizedment on Facebook. Brightsky claims it was delivered and provided a tracking number, stated "delivered to porch"/ I don't have a porch. When I check tracking number on JS Express (delivery company) there is no record. Filed a dispute with PayPal, but they sided with seller because they "provided a tracking number". Others in the Paypal community had same problems with the seller over the past year, as recently as May 2025; I paid in March 2025.
