BBB's role in the marketplace is to promote and foster ethical relationships between businesses and the public through voluntary self-regulation efforts. BBB is a not-for-profit organization that works with both BBB Accredited and non-accredited businesses to help build a stronger foundation for customer relationships and marketplace trust.
We received a submission in BBB's Scam Tracker regarding the marketplace practices of Friendly Neighborhood Pugs.
The consumer alleged that their son was attempting to buy a puppy from Friendly Neighborhood Pugs and completed a questionnaire sent by the company. The consumer states that "Alex Morgan" told their son to buy American Express gift cards in different amounts. The consumer indicates that once the cards were purchased, they were contacted by the airline and were told they needed to get a temperature controlled crate at an additional cost of $700. The puppy was never sent.
