I was scammed out of $700 thinking I was getting a maltipoo puppy shipped to my home. Then I found this site (too late). However, I'm so glad this information was available and want to share my experience with others to prevent these scammers from stealing from others under the guise of a reputable business. I had a chance to talk on the phone with "Alan" who answered my questions about the so-called puppy, and I will share that he has an accent and is not a native English speaker. This is apparent in his emails as well.
The two phone numbers associated with this fake business are: 540-205-6486 and +1-613-604-1781.
The following includes email correspondence I had with "Alan" of Maltese and Maltipoo Pet Home over the course of 3 weeks. Each email is separated by a dotted line:
"Yes, Jaimie is still available and ready for a new new family. Jaimie is $600 such a sweetheart and She will make
a perfect companion. She is 10 weeks old, playful, affectionate, companionable and very sociable with
kids and other home pets. We raise these puppies ourselves here at our home. All puppies have
completed all basic obedience/behavioral, potty training and ready for new home. You are welcome
to come and pick the puppy up, but if picking up is not possible for you, we will ship and deliver the
puppy to you. Prior to making this transition, we always request that all interested person
should address a few of our worries/concerns and know what we expect of you when you
become a new owner of one or more of our baby(ies). She is toy size.
There is a lot of effort needed in order to raise a good, clean, very well socialized puppy.
We raise our puppies like little children and we need to be sure our little puppies are going
to live in a loving home. Therefore, we need to get to know their prospective buyers a little
bit, and that is why we ask some few question. If you are interested in getting a Maltipoo
puppy from us, please answer the following questions:
Do you have any children?
Have you owned a dog before?
How many dogs have you owned?
Have you ever owned a Maltipoo?
Do you currently have any pets?
If so, how many?
Are you planning on breeding?
If so, have you ever bred a Maltipoo before?
Moreover, We do NOT place our pups in homes where they will just be breeding and making
money without proper care and adequate medical attention. In addition to the importance of
medical attention, we do NOT let our pups go into homes where they will live permanently
outside! Furthermore, we will NOT place our pups with anyone who has any history of child or
animal abuse!
We advise our potential buying families to take time and educate themselves on how to properly
care for their unique new Maltipoo puppy. As long as you can make us understand that you will
share the love in your homes with the pup, we will consider placing our puppies/puppy in your
home, regardless of your location.
We are located in Clawson, MI and will have to ship Jaimie to you if you are unable to pick her up.
We consider shipping as an option and we make the shipping arrangements; this is because most
often we find suitable homes for our puppies but they might not be located within a driving distance.
I can guess what question you have in mind right now, 'Flying a Puppy'! Is it safe? This question
is often asked. We certainly wouldn't consider it if it wasn't. I personally asked this question to the
man of the shipping company on my first attempt to ship a puppy some couple of years back,
and this was his answer to me "When we book a flight for a puppy it is only on safe and
approved Airlines that have pet-safe programs that Follows USDA guidelines " The puppies
will have the same air as the pilot flying the plane & someone will be there to cater for
them on board and off the plane until delivery is completed.
When we go to book a flight for our pets, we always call ahead and find the most direct
flight available (much as if you were looking for a flight for yourself). Our puppies have always
arrived safe and sound in their new homes, She even went further to say that "it is better and
more comfortable to fly a puppy on a 2-5 hours flight than drive with that puppy for 6 hours
or more". And that I believe so much because I know they are professionals and will deliver
the puppies safely. Basically shipping a puppy within USA and CANADA requires the following
for a pet-safe program:
- Certified Health and immunization certificates
- Airline approved crate (sof-krate N2 Series)
- Climate controlled pet class flight fee
Usually we charge an additional Fee for shipping per puppy, but right now we have coupons
from our shipping agent to ship puppies at no extra cost, so if you buy or deposit for your
puppies/puppy while these coupons are still available and valid, we will be able to ship
your puppies/puppy for free, otherwise shipping will cost an additional fee.
Just get back to me as soon as you can so that we can advice you on the next step.
Thanks and waiting for your reply.
Best Regards.
Alan
