Alert Details
This business has 1 alert.
Alert
BBB has determined the address claimed by this entity is the Minneapolis Airport. Based on a report BBB has received, we believe this is a fraudulent online entity with no actual presence in Minnesota.
The report on file says Eco Jet Express was the shipping entity for a puppy a consumer was led to believe they had purchased online. However, based on BBB experience, BBB has reason to believe there was never any puppy involved and the seller and shipper - Eco Jet Express - are likely working together hand-in-hand in an effort to defraud customers.
BBB offers the following tips to avoid online pet scams:
*Beware of websites and online (or classified) ads with multiple misspellings and/or grammatical errors. Many pet scams originate overseas, so scammers usually don't 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 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. Never wire money to someone you haven't met in person.
*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 move forward with the
adoption process. The fees continue to mount and people eventually
realize these offers were not legitimate.
* Watch out for situations where you're asked to wire funds to unknown third-parties for shipping or transportation. These are often other fraudulent entities working in tandem with the supposed pet seller
