I did enquire about one of the puppies (Leila). I thought that the price was rather low compared to other puppy sites. They sent me a text this morning asking if I was interested in Leila. It bothered me that it was sent through a text and warning signs screamed “Buyer Beware.” So I did a reverse search on the phone number (520-433-8196) and the number was in Arizona. I asked where the puppy was located and the individual said Phoenix, AZ. I asked how the puppy would get to me in less than 24 hours and the total being only $800? The individual said by plane. I told the individual thank you but I was passing. I then looked up Tcmonsters.com (which the name bothered me, as well) and found scam alerts. I am glad I did not send them $800. I was not going to give them a nice Christmas, at the expense of my grandson. Shame on them. I believe that what goes around – comes around. They will have to answer to all they have done, all they are doing, and I am sure, all that they are going to do in the future to their victims.

So before finding this site we seemed to be scammed as well. We have made contact with the company and had a discussion I was so happy to a puppy as cute as the company showed us via email. I was so happy and ran to make the payment 🙁 and now it’s all silence. It was supposed to be a gift for my wife for her birthday she has been looking fo this type of puppy for a long time. Now I am crushed and if not getting an answer and any action by morning will be filing with Chase investigation ASAP. But I will also make it my personal business to bring this guys down. Unfortunately I have found this site to late. Unbelievable how can anyone do something like this to people 🙁

Did anyone get their money back from investigation or disputes or got their puppy from this company?

Please let me know

Do you mind if I publish it to our FB page as well?
I am very glad you reported it. I will see if I can get a comment from Chase as to why it is not fraud if you “willingly made payment to the recipient.”

I did pay two $1 ‘test payments’ through Zelle that “Robert” initially claimed he didn’t receive. Then it all started adding up that this might not be legit and I found this website. Thank you so much for putting it together to warn others. I also wanted to warn others. Being that I am a victim of this crime too (even though I’m only out $2, I called Chase to report fraud. They initially told me there was nothing they could do “since I willingly made payment to the recipient.” I told them people are paying hundreds or more under the premise that they will receive a puppy, and not receiving what they paid for. So how is their nothing Chase could do, I asked. After I insulted the representative a bit, she said okay, let me transfer you to the online fraud department, and maybe there’s something they can do. So, Chase’s online fraud representative did file a report (supposedly) so the “third party” Zelle could investigate. Whether this will actually happen, I’m not so sure.. but I’m glad I reported it. As for everyone else here who has been taken advantage of, I’m so sorry to hear it, and I want to personally thank you for sharing your story. Because you took the time to speak out, you saved me from being scammed. Yes, these guys did a pretty decent job of looking legitimate. The website is pretty good, and I mean, how can it be possible that they can still have their website operating after scamming a bunch of people out of lots of money? It’s so maddening, but I think I know the answer. I used to be a news reporter and did stories on scams. Law enforcement would tell me it’s almost impossible to catch these people because they are usually operating overseas. Completely out of any local jurisdiction, and it’s hard to pinpoint where they’re even operating overseas. They use fake numbers that mask the real number they’re calling from. Thus, the number they’re using to communicate with you really isn’t helpful. The addresses they provide, in my case to a small apartment in Phoenix, are also not their own, but from an unknowing victim. It was a red flag to me when their address (at which they are supposedly breeding many, many puppies) turned out to be a tiny apartment, per Google maps. By the way, they only provided the address after my asking three times and only because I was going to go pick up the puppy in person as opposed to having it shipped to me. I also found it odd that when I initially asked them to call me so we could chat about Billy the Shih Tzu, they ignored my request for a call and would only text. It was only when I said I required that we have a phone conversation before I would pay him the deposit that he called me. The guy had an accent that seemed indicative of a country in Africa where people speak French. (I hope I’m not offending anyone by saying that; that was just my impression of the general area his dialect may correlate to). When I asked him for the dog’s date of birth, he couldn’t give me a date. He would only say, “10 weeks, 3 days.” I feel like that was a sign, because you would think a breeder would be documenting dogs’ dates of birth. In addition, when I asked about how it’s possible to breed all those puppies in a small apartment, he responded, seemingly insulted, “That’s my house! It’s not a small apartment.” Well, I saw it only Google maps, and yes, it is a very small apartment. So clearly, the guy doesn’t even live there. I also told him I found it questionable that he would be allowed to breed a bunch of dogs in an apartment unit. He became quickly annoyed with me. I told him I didn’t feel comfortable moving forward with the purchase and we ended the call. The number we communicated through is 480-739-0884. I hope this is helpful for someone.

I consider myself to be a pretty “caution” shopper of anything online especially. We have bought 2 puppies online before from reputable breeders. My daughter lost her daddy/ my husband and all she wanted was a puppy. I thought I vetted it in every way and researched and only when the “PetJet” / Aka “Global Shipping” / aka “AirPets” emailed us and started demanding 3 $500 and 1 $100 in gift cards / Am X gift cards from CVS / Rite Aid/ Family Dollar/ Freds/ Target or Walgreens for a “refundable” deposit and to take “clear pictures of front and back and receipts” that I knew it was a scam. This came from 401-825-3011 and I actually spoke to him. globalshippingscompany1@gmail.com

The breeder says he is Paul Tims cell 520-337-6591 in Phoenix AZ teacuppies2020@gmail.com and highlane456@gmail.com. I have videos of “purportedly” him filming the Pomerians we paid $850 via Zelle which I now have a Chase fraud investigation underway.

My daughter is devastated. I am seeing all the posts above and want to bring this to national news and all authorities possible. This must END. Look at the number of us that have been scammed and we were very cautious. We as a community that has been defrauded need to find a way to not just post the criminal actions but once and for all end this. I will support in every way.

I was thinking of a tea cup poodle was being flown to me and delivered. Everything I’m reading now is exactly how they scammed me. They insisted on me using Zelle and I suppose I may not get my money back. I have cancer and was really looking forward to my new puppy. I spent days shopping for her, a dog that doesn’t exist. These com artist should all go to prison!

(480-439-4051) and I called the number the message me from and the number is from arizona yet they claim to be in houston, TX. I didn’t give any credit information but I hope these people who really want animals research before getting scammed. I am now sad cause I thought I was going to get a puppy ):! I hope these people get removed, they are a disgrace.

I did not go through with the deal, but they sent me stock images of the puppies. Definitely a scam.

Paul Mckinset 385-263-4035. price for puppy and shipping was $550. Then the shipping company wants $1250-$1500 to ship the dog due to a needed vaccine and special crate. They said it would be 100% refundable upon delivery of the puppy. Both seller and shipper would only take money via cash app or bitcoin or paypal or zelle. After $1000 I told them no more. When the puppy wasn’t shipped I asked for a refund from both. The seller told me it was out of his hands as he had shipped the dog. Shipper won’t respond. “shipper” is globallogisticdeliveryservice.com and the number of the “seller” is 213-861-0278. There were so many signs that this was a bad deal. I can’t believe I let it get to this
