Alert
In
April 2019, BBB attempted to contact Tea Cup Yorkie Home (teacupyorkshirepuppies.com)
after receiving complaints and scam reports alleging that consumers paid $550 for
“Tea Cup Yorkie” puppies. In those
complaints and reports, consumers had no further contact from the business
after wiring funds and did not receive the advertised puppies.
BBB
asked Tea Cup Yorkie Home to provide basic information including its physical
address, a working telephone number, names & contact information of
responsible management, verification of state and/or federal licensure to breed
and/or transport pets, and a completed BBB Standard Business Questionnaire. BBB also requested references with full
contact information for at least ten (10) U.S. consumers who had successfully purchased
pets as a result of its services. Additionally, BBB requested substantiation of testimonials posted on the
Tea Cup Yorkie Home website. The
results of that inquiry are reported in the Advertising Review section on this
Business Profile.
As
of April 23, 2019, BBB had received no response from Tea Cup Yorkie Home. Registry information shows that the website
originates from a private domain provider; no location can be determined. BBB has not been able to locate information
connecting the website to any corporation or other entity in the United States
and the Richmond, Virginia address used is fictitious.
BBB
has reason to believe that teacupyorkshirepuppies.com is a fraudulent website
with connections to pet transportation scams. BBB urges consumers to use extreme caution
before making a purchase or sharing any other information with Tea Cup Yorkie
Home or any related websites.
