Important information
- Believed to be out of business:According to information in BBB files, it appears that this business is no longer in business.
- Additional Info:Based on a complaint we've received, BBB has reason to believe this organization is not legitimate. The complaint on file alleges the company requested payment via wire transfer - a hallmark of pet scams. After the customer sent the initial payment, the company failed to ship the pet as promised and instead asked for another payment.
The BBB offers the following tips to avoid scams when you're looking to adopt, sell or transport a pet:
* Beware of online or classified ads with multiple misspellings and/or grammatical errors. Many pet scams originate overseas, particularly Africa, so scammers usually do not have a good grasp of the English language.
* Don't be fooled by a well-designed website. Scammers can easily steal images and details from pet postings off the websites of legitimate breeders. Always research companies at BBB.org.
* Watch out for requests to wire money. This is usually a sign you're dealing with a scammer.
* Be leery of classified ads that promise cheap or free pets for adoption. These offers sound good, until the scammers tell you your pet is at the airport but you'll have to pay unexpected fees to continue the adoption process. The fees continue to mount and people eventually discover these offers were not legitimate.
* When selling a pet, never deal with people who offer to send you a check for more than the requested amount under the conditions that you wire the extra money back to them or any of their affiliates, such as deliverers or handlers.
