Alert
In
January 2018, BBB attempted to contact the website securemaltesehome.com after
receiving two complaints alleging that consumers paid $500 for Maltese puppies. The consumers subsequently paid an additional
$910 in shipping costs in one case and an additional $970 in another. The consumers had no further contact from the
website and did not receive the puppies nor the refunds requested in their
complaints to BBB.
BBB
asked securemaltesehome.com to provide basic information including its physical
address, a working telephone number, names & contact information of
responsible management, and verification of state and/or federal licensure to
transport pets. BBB also requested
references with full contact information for at least ten (10) U.S. consumers
who had made successful purchases via the website.
As
of January 16, 2018, BBB had received no response from securemaltesehome.com. Registry information for the website shows
that it originates in Thailand. BBB has
not been able to locate information connecting the website to any corporation
or other entity in the United States.
BBB
has reason to believe that securemaltesehome.com is a fraudulent website and
urges consumers to use extreme caution before making a purchase or sharing any
other information.
