Delta Airlines and the Pet Scammers
CBS news has recently reported that Delta Airlines has filed a federal lawsuit against the owners of a Pet Delivery Scam website called DeltaPetTransit.com
DeltaPetTransit.com was reported on Petscams.com on June the 3rd and an abuse report was sent to NameCheap.Inc the domains sponsor. Scamwarners.com also reported this scam website in May of this year as well as AA419.org who filed abuse reports also in May. Contrary to their ICANN agreement, Namecheap continue to sponsor websites used to scam consumers.
In their lawsuit Delta Airlines claim that “DeltaPetTransit.com is used
to advertise bogus pet air-transport services and to dupe intended victims into believing that they are dealing with Delta and are tendering pet shipment-related payments and fees directly to Delta,
In our investigations we found that the backend system was created by a scammer who we call “MoneyMan”. This scammer created a backend for these scam logistics websites and has been shared extensively among scammers since 2014.
The scammers behind this scam are difficult to find as they hide themselves well. Firstly they register their domain with NameCheap who they know will provide them with a safe haven (See here for more). They also hide their real information behind WhoisGuard which just happens to be owned by NameCheap.
The website is hosting is hidden behind a proxy service CloudFlare so it is very difficult to see who is actually behind the site.
Even if you did find the name of the person who registered the domain, Namecheap does not verify the contact details of the websites they sponsor.
deltapetsway.com
There is another site (https://deltapetsway.com/) which is identical in both CMS and content but is hosted on a different server (http://domainbigdata.com/31.220.40.22) As you can see this server hosts multiple scam websites.
deltapettransit.com also happens to be sponsored by Namecheap.inc which is to be expected.
https://bravepupshome.com/ scam. Our daughter lost 500$ never once gave us their phone number, only chatted via e-mail. She paid the 500$ and was told we would pay the other half once we received the dog at the airport. Then the “shipping company” repeatedly called our daughter saying that the dog was just getting checked out by the vet and that she needed to send the rest of the money before we got the dog. We asked them to call us instead of our 16year old daughter. They never called…..
Any information on https://tarasschnauzers.com/.
Everything has been legit and we even had a video sent to us. But the nanny that flies the dog has been rescheduling the flight 2 times already. I guess he works for the airline and gets last minute flights.
Thanks
I was to buy a puppy from a breeder (or thought she was) and then was notified by the “pet shipper” named: https://deltaairtransport.com/. Email from them: [email protected] (notice the misspelling of logistics and use of gmail). I did several BBB and other web site searches, including the IP address of 68.65.123.43 and it is being hosted by Namecheap, a site all scammers use for this purpose. They have threaten to sue me if I dont pay and the dog will go into some vets office and then they said this: ELECTRONIC CRATE FOR SAFE DELIVERY AND YOUR DEPOSIT PAYMENT IS REFUNDABLE ONCE YOUR PUPPY ARRIVES YOUR LOCATION . Again this is used by all scammers so beware.
They asked for this money before they would ship the dog.
1)FIRST CLASS= $2000+$250 Vaccine=$2050.00
(2)SECOND CLASS= $1700+ $250 Vaccine=$1950.00
(3)THIRD CLASS= $1500+$250 Vaccine=$1750.00
Of course this is a SCAM…

Hi, We just got scammed out of $720.00 It was $550.00 for the pup and $170.00 for him to be shipped. Once we sent the $750.00 by Zelle (which cannot be refunded.) They sent us a tracking web site for when the pup would arrive. Everything seemed ok until a few hours before the pup was to be sent they wanted $1499.00 for a Thermal Crate. That is when I STOPPED because it now felt like a scam, by now I felt sick!!!! I started searching and found what I needed to know this was a scam.
Here is the info for the puppy scammers.
Here is the fake tracking info and web site. (Crazy how far they will go.)
Tracking number: (I won’t share the number, because it has our real info on it.)
https://globalwayexpress.com
Here is the website for the pups. (They even sent me extra photos and videos of both the pup and mom and dad.)
https://pottytrainedaussiepups.com/available-puppies/
The pup we wanted was Aroon. What a beauty!
The email the scammer used was Deborah Sam
[email protected],
Here is more of their scam. The Zelle info.
Zelle:
[email protected]
Name: Janey Ann
Memo: Aroon
Amount: $720
BEWARE people! There are heartless souls out there! 🙁
Can you please tell me if Havanese Puppies for Good Homes is a scam? They want $100 gift card from Walmart to pay for transportation from Pender airlines and then once the driver gets to my house, I give him a $600 Walmart gift card after receiving the puppy.
I’m about to buy a puppy(hopefully)
https://nearbycorgidogs.com/services/
That is the website. After already being nervous to send money and now reading bad experiences I want to make sure this is legit and not a scam. Is there any way you can tell? Thank you!
May I send my email correspondence to what I believe is a scam? Fortunately, I did not give out any exact information: i.e.: personal phone, specific address, any banking info.) I also realize his person can do research. When, as you have stated, their correspondence thru email gets more shallow with each email sent. Delta airlines mentioned, location in GA and then changed to Montgomery AL for “shipping base location”, and much more “bait” put out to suck people in!! Their “kind” demeanor changed to curt. They supplied their phone number so I could call (I did not do that) and “move things along”. When I asked if they wanted a cashier’s check, VISA credit card payment or electronic transfer, the response did not answer that specific question. I do not use PayPal, Zelle.
If I can help you in any way to track down these scammers and save others money and heartbreak, please let me know. Sincerely,
It looks like https://deltatransglobalpetmovers.com/ is a scam as well. Is there any way to confirm? I was looking to purchase online and was sent an invoice for $850 for a crate rental. When I got to digging around, I was unable to find any answers. The website has a bogus phone number and email for questions and you get someone with chopped up English who is very difficult to deal with and understand.

I scamed from this company they took 1300$ from me by told me that the dog need vaccines and things like that
I feel so stupid and sad about that i will not get my money back but the hardest thing is the heart break
I was scammed by as dog breeder and their fake shipping company. The dog breeding website is called lockolabradors.com and the shipping company is called longhall shippers names are Demarcos Lowry, Cathy Hamlett and J Cooper numbers are 580-370-7850 and
612-433-8209. they asked for so much money. I was just getting back on my feet and now i have to again catch up. Im angry sad and hurt and i know i’ll never see that money again.
I report the website https://www.globalexpressanimalmovers.com/
Same things happen as above mentioned. I lost 2,000 more dollars and have no hope that I can trace them back.
They just ask for more and more. First say you need to pay the life insurance, next they say you need to rent a special krate, then after a day, they require you pay 1500 within one day for a city permit document or I will be sued.
I called 911 after receiving this document and the shipper never replies to me.
What about realcutehomes.com ?
They got $750 out of my pocket. They initially contacted me via text, then they requested the deposit which was $500 to reserve the puppy. 4 Days later, i noticed the website they provided Kaulschnauzers.net didnt change the status of the puppy I was buying (it was showing it was available) so then i contacted them back and they said I needed to pay the rest of the money and they will ship the puppy within the same day. I felt for it and I send them the money via zelle, then 4 hours later they sent me a Delta ticket for the pet and requesting $1000 as a deposit for insurance. I told the person I didnt have that money and that it wasnt mentioned in the beginning. They said that we should split the cost. (tryint to get at least $500 out of me) which I stated NO way! I asked for my money back and as of today, almost 2 weeks later the phone number has been disconnected and the person dissapeared. I contacted my bank and they are researching since the transactions were via Zelle. But I doubt I will get the money back, I hope this people gets caught!
Is [email protected] a scam? I has to send money as a friend and family with PayPal. After reading this I am wondering if it was a smart move. His name is Larry vilson.
Thanks
I would like to report https://www.deltaairexpress.com/
They are a scam
the email is [email protected]
They have scammed hundreds out of my partner and I
They say they are pet carriers
DO NOT BE FOOLED
Just wanted to share my experience. I also have been duped by buying a maltese puppy for $700 with jacokenelmaltese.com. they use a "shipping" company called flyexpresshippers.com. they give you do called updates and charge $650 for a crate to rent. I did not pay that. Breeder paid it with a walmart card! Lol red flag! Then i was contacted by the shipping company saying the dog was in VA and needed a city permit in order to fly the rest of the way to Mi. $450 to get the city permit! I havent paid it and they threatened me with abandonment. Please dont use these people as its a scam!! They said they could ship the dog to Grand rapids, mi instead of harbor springs via delta airlines. Spring harbor airport is for private planes and jets. Very small airport! I am out $700 but thankfully caught on sooner before i sent anymore money. They will try yo use zelle, paypal, cash app or western union and laughably walmart gift cards or walgreens gift cards. They have been reported to the FBI and i hope this helps with others that are looking to buy dogs or any other animal online.
Is this a fake website “ https://sls-ip.com/tracking.html” they got $600 out of me, I didn’t think they were scamming until I started searching things about pet scams online.

All, very good way to check scammy websites – website http://www.scamdoc.com.
E.g. they not only tell you that familysamoyeds.com is scammy but that it also hosts malware and even visiting the website should be avoided.

Hello I was wondering if this is legit http://www.tonyfrenchies.com/
Hi All
I am in the middle of purchasing a beagle pup. The seller claims he has shifted to Belfast. He emailed me documents , pictures everything and I paid the full amount £1000. However, the courier company on the day of delivery mailed asking more money for a temp controlled crate and vaccinations etc. Courier company name: http://www.lmfdroltd.com
I have my suspicion all this is a scam and I have been duped. Please advise
We also I think got scammed. Glorious german shephards out of virginia beach VA. We are dealing with it now. Everything seemed legit until now. When she was supposed to be shipped to us. We got the whole bs email from pet express telling us they need $850 for a carrier that would be refunded after we get her. Opening my mouth i said @@@K no i will not send another penny! No responses yet. My daughter is heartbroken and I am furious. I have all the correspondence, western union contacts, and will go after them with everything I am. NOONE HURTS MY KIDS! So there it is. If they aren’t a scam, i apologize,but i feel they are.

Also i contacted the so called breeder and She told me to just pay the momey. We were also told that we couldn’t go get our our Puppy and that We didn’t make the rules. They were. Listed as. Premium pomeranian puppies in Las Angelas California. They change their page and breed of Dogs every other Day. I. Have names and phone numbers and I have screen shots of every conversation we had.

Please check out this site https://bulldogbabieshome.com/
I am concerned it may be a scam. Several of the red flags appeared, pay by Zella or a gift card from Wal-Mart. I called the number and man that answered had a heavy accent, but was adamant I would get the puppy I ordered.
I am currently dealing with Kings dogs.com. everything so far is pointing towards a scam. This is my own fault for not investigating a little bit more. Was wondering if in the site was on any of the radar. Of course the website looks really legit. And was very helpful until I made seneschal payment. Now it stays on the ends before I get text back. The puppy is supposed to be shipped tomorrow but I think this is one step to this game begins. If this isn’t a scam I would like to publicly apologize to Kings dogs.com for the slander
Does anybody know if https://www.royalminipups.com is a scam site? The owner was trying to have me do PayPal at first then I ended up sending $400 on a Walmart gift card for the dog and then after I sent he kept contacting me but not asking for money basically saying the dog is coming but didn’t give tracking number or anything just told me delta cargo was gonna call but I need track number to pick dog up
I was scammed out of $850 for a french bulldog by http://www.bluerockfrenchies.info. I paid them for the dog then a guy from Virgin Pet Transport contacted me talking about a Therma Electronic Crate for $900 that the dog needed for transport and that I will be refunded when I picked the dog up at the airport. Western Union notified me that it was a scam.
We are interested in a yorki from Brighttinyorkiepups.com. Do you know if this site is legit? Dont want to get scammed. They say the dog is free it will just be $400. for shipping.
I was scammed also from someone claiming to be from Oklahoma . I was trying to get a miniature schnauzer . I sent 500 through Zelle . Which was a big mistake they can’t protect you once you send the money . The website was fishy and they never asked me any questions regarding what type of person or pet owner I would be . That’s a red flag right there . The website was bariboshnauzers.online as soon as you enter that in your search the fraud info comes up . I know the bank the money went to and will be sure to file a police report today . I hope that these scammers get caught . They prey on vulnerable people like myself who just lost my dog of 17 years . I’m sick about this and also out 500 it could have been more . Please be careful when choosing a pet and don’t fall for these scams ! Good luck
I am dealing with a company called Royal Teacup Maltese Puppies.. They said they were located in Culpepper Virginia. They want $500. For the puppy & shipping is $120. Could you let me know if this is a scam site. I’m a widow and can’t afford to loose money…
Can you guys check out http://sinclairfrenchbulldogs.com/ to let me know if they are legit as well? Thanks !
Do you guys know if this website: https://ullyssesbullyfarms.com/index.html is legit?
Yesterday we were duped out of almost $2000 dollars while thinking we would be picking up a mini schnauzerfrom the website; scotsnauzers.com Everything sounds the same as the other people have reported They kept asking for more and more money via Western union. The website looks so legit and they claim they are a family from Oklahoma who has been breeding mini-schnauzers for years We went to pick up our puppy at Pgh, Pa airport and she wasn’t there. We contacted them and they said the pup missed the flight and wanted more money for another crate. This was 11:30 at night. I told them we were done and wanted our money back because we knew it was a scam They were so mad and were texting me horrible texts and stated that, we could have been taken for worse and using horrible language. We filed a police report this morning. The state Police said these scams are happening all over. the arrogance of whoever this is was unreal. My husband and I are very upset and will do anything to stop these scammers Do not fall for this ad on SCOTSCHNAUZERS ONLINE.COM Please help stop this fraud and the damage its doing to families! Jackie Devitt
I almost got scammed trying to buy a birman kitten online , strangely the lady was giving it away for free but I didn’t make much of it then because she said she was moving to another country .Only now after I read about Other people’s experiences on other pet scam websites I realised that the emails I received were similarly worded .
She goes by the name of Mrs Khadija fatani brown based in Aqaba , Jordan . When I asked them for the website link to check the AWB , because the lady had registered the kitten , the link they sent me showed the message of this page isn’t on our radar , despite having the delta airlines logo , it uses the Delta airlines cargo services as a front but it’s a hoax. They only have an email address [email protected] .
The ‘managing director ‘ of delta called me from ‘cameroon’ and insisted that I make the payment because until then the kitten is just waiting . I found all of this very dubious and have blocked the email addresses .
This just saved me. I think the site was called tinyyorkie?? Something like that. They asked when I would be sending money gram and something @ cvs
I had contacted a site called evashihtzupuppieshome.com and through a series of emails determined the person responding to be a scammer. Please check into this site and add to your scam list.
