Current Alerts For This Business
In April 2019, BBB attempted to contact V.I.P. Chihuahuas (vipchihuahuas.yolasite.com) after receiving a complaint and scam reports alleging that consumers paid $500 to over $600 for 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 V.I.P. Chihuahuas 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 V.I.P. Chihuahuas 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 V.I.P. Chihuahuas. 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 vipchihuahuas.yolasite.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 V.I.P. Chihuahuas or any related websites.
Additional business information
In April 2019, BBB attempted to contact V.I.P. Chihuahuas regarding a number of testimonials on its website (vipchihuahuas.yolasite.com).
According to the Code of Advertising, advertising which uses testimonials or endorsements is likely to mislead or confuse if: they are not genuine and do not actually represent the current opinion of the endorser(s); the endorser has not been a bona fide user of the endorsed product or service at the time when the endorsement was given, where the advertiser represents that the endorser uses the product or service; and/or the advertiser represents, directly or by implication, that the endorser is an “actual consumer” when such is not the case and the advertisement fails to clearly and conspicuously disclose that fact.
Based on the Code of Advertising, BBB requested substantiation that testimonials on the website were genuine testimonials from bona fide customers.
BBB’s advertising inquiry was related to an investigation into V.I.P. Chihuahuas’ business practices. The results of that inquiry are reported in the Investigations section of this Business Profile.
BBB must report that V.I.P. Chihuahuas did not respond to requests to voluntarily substantiate, modify, or discontinue its testimonials based on Code of Advertising guidelines.
