Scams selling or giving away non-existent animals, often Puppy Scams.

My mom got scammed by the website chloepomeranian.net claiming to sell teacup pomeranians for $700.00. They have 7 puppies listed on their website and promise to ship the dog within days to your local airport. Money gram payment was sent to someone named John Franklin who operates out of Delaware. Recently a friend of my mom's who is good with computers was able to figure out that the website is based in the Netherlands. Police report is in progress. Stay away!!!

Hello ld_819,
I am sorry to hear that your mom got scammed by this criminal. Please post the email that asked for the payment, including the email address and any telephone numbers that you may have.

Be sure to remove your personal information before posting.

It is ALWAYS a scam
If the pet seller or shipper asks for money to be sent via Western Union, Money Gram, any brand of gift card. Walmart To Walmart , Zelle , PayPal friends and family option, or mentions Cameroon

Hi! Thank you very much to this web site and especially to the user who posted a warning for chloepomeranians.com! They were trying to scam me exactly the same way: pretending to be a loving caring family who have 7 puppies available for sale and who were willing to sell one of them for $700 after I send the money via MoneyGram payable to John Franklin. The scammers used this email: [email protected] and texted me from this number: 302-583-2077. They claimed to be located in Dover, DE. Look at some things they wrote me: " I will also like to let you know that we are a God fearing christian family and not out to take people hard earned money which are just trying to look for a companion for their family and then they end up not having the puppy okay...My family is worth more than $700 so why will we take your money and sent nothing to you Or not the actual puppy you paid for? The law is against those who cheat and I will not like to put out a criminal chase on me and my family and being wanted by the the FBI and Lawyers okay." I also suspect another people claiming to be another puppy sellers from Louisiana, named Andersen Peters who used this email address: [email protected] and I was able to speak with him at these two US numbers: 504-689-9324 and 516-778-8086. They both refused to show me their puppy via Skype, they both ignored me asking them to take a picture of the puppy near their refrigerator ( or any other household item that everyone has) and then text me that picture; they made the same grammar mistakes in their texts/emails; they were replying on my emails at 4-5 am US Eastern time and they never picked up phones when I called them during US day time; and the instructions how to complete transaction were very similar. Also the pictures and videos they sent me were from Google images. Please don't become their victims!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
