Be advise that Tod Miller from Affordable Jacks for adoptions is a SCAMMER.
I sent him $250 for his dog (jack Russell ) for down payment. He wrote that there will be no other fees charged. That He he will deliver it next day. Next day I received a msg saying that I need to deposit another $200 for delivery. This when I smell the scam.
I request the reimbursement of my moneys and he refused. Then He shot me out of the FB chat.
. I’m trying to get the word out on a Papillon scammer on Facebook.
WARNING…”MS. CATHY PAPILLON” AND PAPILLON PASSION” IS A SCAMMER.
Ms. Cathy IS PART OF AN ELABORATE SCAM. She got me for $950. “Ms. Kathy” posted that she had a Papillon named “Lola” available. The picture posted was of a cute brown and white Pap, 15 months old with one upright ear and one drooping ear. She said I had to pay via Zelle or CashApp, two favorites of Scammers. I didn’t use either and she said I could use PayPal to send the money. She sent this info to me to make the payment to: her son who has a Paypal account [email protected] KARIM. When I tried to send it it showed PayPal was trying to process the payment in Phillipine pesos. She explained it away saying that had to do with a puppy they just shipped to the Phillipines and gave me this info to send the payment to:Paypal -@kellybacon829 Email [email protected]. This was her “son’s” Paypal info too. The payment went through but was pending 2 days as it cleared. During that time she kept asking for me to put $950 on my Paypal account and transfer it under “family and friends” to speed up the process so that she could ship “Lola” the next day. I told her I wanted to wait for the payment to clear. In the meantime she kept telling me that her “son” did not receive the payment. I called my bank and they said the payment had cleared and exited from my account. PayPal whn I called told me to explain how he should accept the payment through his account. I IM’d “Cathy” who said he got it and they would ship the next day. I got a text message on my phone from the “son” saying the shipper was trying to reach me. “Ms. Cathy” IM’d me via Facebook the link to the shipper with a Tracking number: Tracking number WPC087519869445-CARGO https://fastwayglobaltracking.com FASTWAYGLOBALTRACKING. I confirmed my shipping info on their site. Next, I get a text message from the shipper saying I have to pay a “refundable” insurance fee of $800 followed by this word salad: “once the custom is paid your package will be granted a diplomatic status for safe delivery and a new status will be applied to pakage in transit” Then they go on to ask how I want to proceed with my payment and list the same payment options that “Ms. Cathy” gave me to pay for Lola. The “tracking info includes: Cathy vieru, 2307 Gravier St, New Orleans LA 70119, 985-497-1142 [email protected]. Ms. Cathy also said the insurance was refundable.
I got scammed by “Michelle Walters” on the West Highland Terrier Lovers and re-home group. She claims to have puppies for sale and wants payment through ZELL (red flag 1) for a price below market (red flag 2) and then tells you they will be shipped in the cabin with a nanny. Given the price charged this is unrealistic.
Next you get a message with a link to a fake shipping company called Ship Safe Logistics which send you a series of email and messages asking for a $1,200 to $2,500 “deposit’ via ZELL for a special “electronically controlled air-conditioned crate” that meets some bogus regulation. They introduce urgency by saying you must pay now to make sure your puppy makes the flight. I told them I was not stupid enough to get scammed twice in one day.
I was told I would have to pay a refundable insurance fee of $800. Another scammer tried to get me for a “thermal crate” There is a special place in hell waiting for people who prey on others. They will get their day of reckoning eventually.
I got scammed for a puppy and I did my due-diligence. He was listed as a moderator on one of the Westie pages that I’ve been in for years. He even had 3 people vouch for him on the page. Then I checked his personal profile, which dated to 2016 and had several Westie pictures. He supposedly wanted a $400 deposit for a pup, but I only initially sent $50. It was after the $50 that his language and insistence got weird. He was supposedly local, so I kept insisting on meeting for the balance and he disappeared! Now I can’t even find the group, so I’m guessing he blocked me from it so I can’t tell future victims. Being a moderator of a puppy group, with thousands of members, makes people think you might be a little more trustworthy! His name is Tony Johnson.
I got blocked from the two Facebook pages the scammers were using.

I was scammed for a Chihuahua puppy! Her address is:14336 State Highway 142w, Gatewood, MO Her name is Morgan Dickson. She had 4 puppies for sale, $300 each. After sending her money on PayPal, thru friends and family as she requested she set up a meeting place. She never showed up. The next day she called me, she knew very little English, she was Mexican. No way the same lady from the pictures. She wanted $100 more, and I refused. Now I’m just out the money, and no puppy. Please stop her!

Facebook needs to be my proactive in eliminating people like this from taking advantage of their users.
[29/06, 11:07 am] +27 64 046 1691: we have sent you an email you should check
[29/06, 11:19 am] +27 64 046 1691: sir this is a delicate stage of the final processing which only makes you entitled after this Value Added tax has been paid
[29/06, 11:19 am] +27 64 046 1691: you only become entitled to this ONLY when the VAT has been paid
[29/06, 11:19 am] +27 64 046 1691: your seller is aware of this
[29/06, 11:20 am] +27 64 046 1691: you should talk with him am sure you both will find a way to see this through so that same day we can send you the money into your account
[29/06, 11:20 am] +27 64 046 1691: its a process that needs to be duly followed
[29/06, 11:21 am] +27 64 046 1691: what i mean is that your seller is aware that before an entitlement is paid, there must be VAT which needs to be paid
[29/06, 11:23 am] +27 64 046 1691: then you should watch your mouth
[29/06, 11:23 am] +27 64 046 1691: i was willing to help you out in this fee but your running your mouth a lot
[29/06, 11:24 am] +27 64 046 1691: i will talk with your seller. We will need to ensure we pay the $2187.5 today so that your account can be credited with the $6250 total entitlement
[29/06, 11:25 am] +27 64 046 1691: i am willing to help out with $1000 but you have to promise once the company remits your account, you will send back the $1000 to me through your seller. Do you promise to do that ?
[29/06, 11:29 am] +27 64 046 1691: when the $2187 is paid which is VAT, a total of $6250 is what will be sent to your account
[29/06, 11:36 am] +27 64 046 1691: that is not how it is been done
[29/06, 11:36 am] +27 64 046 1691: if the $2187 is not been paid then the insurance company nullifies your total entitlement
[29/06, 11:37 am] +27 64 046 1691: you don’t have money and i understand you perfectly well which is why i am offering to help out with $1000. So now it is left with $1187.5 which will be lacking
[29/06, 11:41 am] +27 64 046 1691: there is one thing you fail to understand. I am trying to help you here but seems you don’t appreciate
[29/06, 11:41 am] +27 64 046 1691: Go get your lawyer little man and when its clear you have to pay this fee, i will not be in the position to help again with the $1000
[29/06, 11:42 am] +27 64 046 1691: you will have to pay it all by yourself
[23/06, 12:01 pm] +27 64 046 1691: Did you receive the email we sent you
[23/06, 12:26 pm] +27 64 046 1691: Like the email explained, the $1250 is totally refundable and will have to be given back to you tomorrow once your bird arrives
[23/06, 12:26 pm] +27 64 046 1691: After payment you’ll need to send us the proof of payment so that we can issue you an insurance certificate alright.
[23/06, 12:27 pm] +27 64 046 1691: We told toe shipper about there been a need for insurance
[23/06, 12:27 pm] +27 64 046 1691: We told your seller the day he brought the birds that first clients all need to pay insurance
[23/06, 12:28 pm] +27 64 046 1691: But not too worry it’s on your own advantage in case anything happens to the birds
[23/06, 12:28 pm] +27 64 046 1691: And tomorrow you’ll be receiving the full amount back
[23/06, 12:33 pm] +27 64 046 1691: In case anything happens to the birds, you will be entitled to a compensation about because the birds have been insured

[23/06, 12:33 pm] +27 64 046 1691: It is currently on hold if you have been tracking
[23/06, 12:37 pm] +27 64 046 1691: We told your seller of the new law and the need for insurance
[23/06, 12:37 pm] +27 64 046 1691: We told him on the day of the registration
[23/06, 12:38 pm] +27 64 046 1691: The sooner the better
[23/06, 12:41 pm] +27 64 046 1691: It’s not in our place to be told that. We did not sell you bird. All is that we will be expecting a full payment of $1250 to process your delivery
[23/06, 12:42 pm] +27 64 046 1691: Upon which the bird be on hold and each day that passes an extra $10 adds which is non refundable
[23/06, 12:42 pm] +27 64 046 1691: So I’ll advice you talk with your seller

[23/06, 12:45 pm] +27 64 046 1691: By law it’s the buyer who pays for insurance. Once you have paid for your consignment internationally everything that happens is totally your duty
[23/06, 12:45 pm] +27 64 046 1691: That’s not our case sir. We told him there would be the need for insurance
[23/06, 12:46 pm] +27 64 046 1691: And rather than having a fight with words here with me I’ll prefer you take it to your seller
[23/06, 12:46 pm] +27 64 046 1691: Our only concern is to ensure that at the end of the day you’ve paid the insurance and tomorrow we deliver your birds

[24/06, 12:18 pm] +27 64 046 1691: Let your seller come first then I’ll inform you
[24/06, 1:12 pm] +27 64 046 1691: your seller gave me $1000
[24/06, 1:13 pm] +27 64 046 1691: it is still left $250
[24/06, 1:13 pm] +27 64 046 1691: he said he does not have the balance to complete
[24/06, 1:13 pm] +27 64 046 1691: its all $1000
[24/06, 1:14 pm] +27 64 046 1691: sir, i will advice you look for it as soon as possible. The delivery of other clients will kick off soon and if you have not completed, we will be forced to proceed and leave behind your bird
[24/06, 1:14 pm] +27 64 046 1691: you have to try and get this $250. You can take from anyone once we arrive, it will be given back to you
[24/06, 1:15 pm] +27 64 046 1691: borrow it from anyone it is your bird
[24/06, 1:15 pm] +27 64 046 1691: insurance needs to be fully paid
[24/06, 1:16 pm] +27 64 046 1691: then the delivery will proceed and we will leave your bird behind
[24/06, 1:18 pm] +27 64 046 1691: it is left $250 and if we are to refund, we will have to take the bird back to South Africa and return back to your seller. In that case a refund delivery costs of $140 will have to be deducted
[24/06, 1:18 pm] +27 64 046 1691: after this insurance has still been paid
[24/06, 1:19 pm] +27 64 046 1691: if we are returning the bird back to your seller then a total of $140 + $250 which is $390 needs to be paid
[24/06, 1:19 pm] +27 64 046 1691: then upon arrival we will refund your seller $1250 and he can be the one to send back your money.
[24/06, 1:21 pm] +27 64 046 1691: that is part of the insurance which is still remaining $250 and like we told you insurance is refundable. We have not refused refunding the total money. It will be refunded once the bird reaches its destination.
[24/06, 1:21 pm] +27 64 046 1691: right now it is $250 that is left to complete the insurance so we can proceed,
Refundable insurance you have to pay is a common approach to scam more money from victims.
I have reported a pet scammer on Facebook for months and nothing has happened. He even stole one of my puppy pics and has it on his page. I reported to FTC and other government agencies and know one cares. People have contacted me that have been scammed and reported it as well. All his photos and videos are stolen off breeder websites or from the internet. I reported his gmail because I have email confirmation on how he will ask for money to be sent Western Union Friend Family. How can you stop this puppy scammer ?

TAKE NOTE OF THIS ADVICE :
WHEN MAKING THE PAYMENT AT THE WAL-MART STORE OR WESTERN UNION ASK
FOR SENDING FORM AND MAKE SURE YOU FILL OUT ALL THE DETAILS CORRECTLY
,AFTER THAT GIVE THE FORM BACK TO THE CASHIER
WITH THE MONEY AND ALONG SIDE WITH EXTRA CHARGES THAT THEY
WILL ASK FOR SENDING THE MONEY.WHEN YOU’RE DONE JUST TAKE A PICTURE
OF THE RECIPT AND SEND TO ME SO I CAN PROCEED WITH THE SHIPPING
NOW LISTEN CAREFULLY IF THE CASHIER ASK YOU WHY ARE YOU SENDING THE
MONEY TELL THE CASHIER THAT YOU WANT TO SEND THE MONEY TO A FAMILY
FRIEND SO THAT THE SENDING CHARGES WILL BE LOW.IF YOU SAY IT’S FOR
COMMERCIAL/BUSINESS PURPOSE THEY WILL CHARGE YOU HIGH SO TELL THE
CASHIER IT IS TO A FAMILY FRIEND.HOPE YOU UNDERSTAND ?
I went through the same when reporting a scammer. I reported it via the attorney generals of Florida where I live and Colorado where the scammer was from. I did get a generic letter response from the AG of Colorado saying they would look into it. A year later and their Puppy scam website and Facebook presence are still there. Gmail and Google Pay never responded to my reporting. How did you report to Facebook. I can find nothing when I google it.
