Maiden French Bulldog Pups Home did not respond to BBB. - Products and Services
- BBB checked with Georgia's Department of Agriculture and determined that Maiden French Bulldog Pups Home does not have a license to sell or bred animals in the state. To check a breeder's license in the state of Georgia please visit http://www.kellysolutions.com/GA/petdealers/searchbyconame.asp BBB provides the following tips when searching online for a pet: Research any business and its owners carefully before paying any money. Check the company's BBB Business Profile at bbb.org. If possible, try to pick up the puppy in person. Puppy scams depend on buyers trusting that the animals will be delivered to them. Be careful about buying a puppy from anyone you don't know, and be especially skeptical if the price is much lower than normal. Avoid wiring money or using prepaid cards or gift cards to pay for transporting animals. Instead pay by credit card in case you need to challenge the purchase later. Research pet adoption requirements in your area. Get a good grasp on what fees, permits and licenses are required by your local government and know whether they should be collected by the seller or government. Consider getting a rescue dog if having a purebred dog is not a priority. Generally, rescues are less expensive than purebred pets and often have fewer health problems. Victims of this fraud can report it to BBB's Scam Tracker at bbb.org/scamtracker.

BBB Investigation Results
BBB received a complaint against Maiden French Bulldog Pups Home that alleged the following:
If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. I've been wanting a french bulldog for the past few years so I began searching online for affordable puppies in my price range. I found a website, Maiden French Bulldog Pups Home (https://maidenfrenchbulldogpups.com/index.html), and found a female french bulldog pup that I fell in love with. They sent pictures, videos, and even a bill of sale. My husband and I made the purchase for $900. The next day we get a call/email from Trans Live Courier (https://trans-livecourier.com/) stating that we have to pay $1490 for pet travel insurance and that the money will be refunded upon safe arrival of the puppy. We asked why should we have to pay for insurance when we are not the seller and they stated that they will call us back with more information. We called the seller back and asked were they aware of this fee and they stated no. I then get a text message back from the seller stating that the company is 100% legit and that he was informed that this was a new company policy in which a first time shipper needs to comply with. I said why should we have to pay for insurance when we are not the seller or shipper and he stated the he would check with the company and call us back. Haven't heard from them since. We have disputed the charges and praying that we can get our money back. Please do not fall for this scam and do thorough research when dealing with any businesses online.
