Pet Transport Agency review: puppy shipping 63

This is a scam! It is one that I have come into contact with twice now. I found both ads on ebay classifieds while looking for a great dane puppy both ads said the puppies were located in Atlanta but when I started trying to make plans to pick the puppy up the first ad from Lambris Antonio said he was in California and the second ad from Lariy Smith said he moved to Montana. I thankfully didnt think either of these seemed right so I did not loose any money but Im sure others have. I got both of the above emails and questions from Lariy Smith, the emails are word for word exactly the same. Like I said both ads were on ebay and when I logged into my yahoo email account both started chatting with me over the yahoo chat. I asked Smith to give me some info on the puppys while I waited to recieve the email with the pictures, he would not give me any info he just said that all the info was in the email! I really hope no one falls for this scam and something can be done about this. I plan to contact ebay and report this and hopefully some action will be taken!

Hello thanks for email.Let me tell you about my female and male puppies
Suzy and Mike.I know you will love these puppies..They are 11 weeks
old now and registered and they are currently on all shots, when ever i
call them up they will run up to me like a three year old kid..They have
been raised in our home with lots of love and care, and they are well
socialized with a wonderful temperament, they are vet checked and up to
date on all shots and are very fine among kids and other pets like
dogs, cats.birds etc, they will make very fine house pets.they are
just too adorable.These little puppies love to run and play, they like
to stop and smell flowers.They are a pleasure to have around, They are
very friendly, playful and has a very good behavior and very good
temperament.These puppies are eager to learn, fearless, friendly, and
sociable. their high energy level may overwhelm new owners who are not
prepared for it.My puppies are not prone to excessive barking, but
their tendency to bark at suspicious activity makes them excellent
watchdogs.They love to be cuddle, but they are not overly demanding of
attention.
I am giving Suzy and Mike out for adoption
because their mum was knock down by a car and i don't have much time to
spend with them now.I am having a new occupation that takes much of my
time, so i want to send them to any loving and caring home, that they
will be spoiled rotten with love..They will bring so much love and joy

lots of love and affection, lots of kisses and hugs, sure you will give
all this to them ? Health wise their health is guarantee as they had
proper veterinary check ups.worming and they took the following

This is one I've received just recently anyone know if this is a scam as well?

This one comes from kimberly.kelis@yahoo.com. This listing was also found on pennysaverusa.com under Indianapolis. What do you guys think?

Hi,
Thanks for contacting me in regards of my awesome Yorkie puppies that i`m in search of a home for them.They are the most beautiful creatures that anyone can ever think of.They are a male and a female and i call them Randy (male) and Gina (female).they are both 12weeks, 5days old, weighing about 3.4ibs.Their expected weight when fully grown is 7.8ibs.They are very lovely pets with great personalities and they also have a calm temperament.They are health approved and i can guarantee their health with a one year paper.They are vet checked, potty trained and home raised.they love the company of kids and other household pets such as cats and dogs.They have all necessary documents including health and vet records.They will also be coming with a manual that will aid you in taking very good care of them.They will not only be as a pet to you, but they will also be as a friend.
I am located in Denver, CO and that is where the puppies will be coming from to you.i want to give them out for adoption because we are expecting our first baby and we won`t be able to take very good care of her.if you can promise me that you are going to take very good care of them and also that you will be sending me monthly pictures of them, then i will be grateful.i know things are hard right now that`s why i`m giving them out for free adoption.All you are going to pay to have them is the $250 for the two or $125 for one.This money is to process their air ticket and transfer of ownership papers making you the new owner of Them.Below are some of their lovely pictures.hope you like them.if interested, do get back to me for more details.
I await your prompt response.
Have a great day!

I am a mother of 5 and all of them want a puppy that will not get big. I answered an ad on pennysaverusa.com for 2 yorkie puppies. While almost scammed for someone previously asking me to send money to Cameroos, I decided to look up this transport agency in Miami that this person mentioned. This is from mariahig@live.com. Also a red flag for me was that the original ad stated the puppies were in Indianapolis. She mentioned that they were registered but didn't give any numbers for me to be able to look them up. Scam or not? Your opinion please.

good day dear,

i am very happy for the interest and love that you have for my little babies.
i will want to tell you that i am not selling them, i am given them out for an adoption to loving family.
i am given them out because i have gotten a new job in Australia and i will be living the country soon so i need a good family that will love and care for the puppies.
i am given you the puppies for ever i will not take them back from you, so all i want is for you to take good care for the puppies

they are two of them, a male and a female. 10 weeks old, vaccinated and registered
their names are Lucien, and Luciana.
they will be going with a one year health guarantee from our vet, their food, toys and crate

I will want to let you know that, i am located in MIAMI for the moment doing the finale preparation for my new job in Australia, so if you are not going to be able to come to MIAMI and take the puppies, then we are going to use a pets transport agency to transport the puppies from MIAMI to your home, so i will want you to send me some of your details that i will use at the transport agency to register the puppies for delivery at your home.
the details i need from you are:

- your full name
- your full home address
- your city postal code
- your phone numbers

once i have these, i will do the registration at the agency for transportation and delivery at your home, the transport agency will then transport the puppy to you at your home and all you will have to pay is $160 per puppy and you will have to pay the money to the transport agency and not me.
i will be waiting to read from you

I too almost fell for it. 2 huskies out of Florida & 1 in Ohio. The e-mails coming from Florida were by a larisa pike. The others in Ohio were from a julien morales. The e-mails were just like the others posted above. Both types of letters. All the so called caring, religion, personal issues, Cameroon, same agency ect... what JERKS! Sounds like all of us just wanted to fill the void in our life and hearts. Yep they don 't care! Some day it will come back to haunt them!

I ran into the same scam but it was altered a bit for a Rottweiler Puppie from michpaul@hotmail.com. he is claiming to use the same transportation company out of miami florida. I tried to call the company and it went straight to voicemail. I'm not doing it either. He was asking for $300. Watchout for this scam on oodle.com. Here is an example email i recieved:
Hello,
I am happy to know that you are interested in providing a home for a Rottweiler puppy. We still have 3 puppies available Jack, Jerry and Daisy are the last three i have left,
Jack is very sweet, laid back and cuddly.He has been hand raise
with children and has a great energy to play from AM to PM.He is thick
and has a beautiful walking style.His vaccinations are all up to date
& he is health guaranteed. On most occasions he would rather sit in
the lap of his owner than join in the play of other dogs. If a price
where to be awarded for companionship, the winner would surely be
Jack. He is totally forgiving and loving when it comes to humans. he
is actually a great boy.
Jerry is outgoing, playful and happy to make friends.More than with
any other puppy dog, his character and personality is often
misunderstood. Even his intelligence is sometimes questioned. His
natural protectiveness is probably most manifest in his behavior
towards small children or animals. His natural Propensity to defend
the smaller ones makes him sometimes intervene even when any of my
kids get told off by me or my partner. Of course, like in all litters,
individual pups differ greatly, he is not lazy couch potatoes of
breed. His faithfulness, his stubbornness, his protectiveness and
devotions to his loved ones is what you will like him for.
Daisy is not only from a home where she is very use to kids but she
is also extremely healthy and has a great nature lovely
personality.She has great conformation with her rose ears, low
set, spike tail, beautiful shape head, flashy coat and wonderful thick
body type.It's no doubt that her excellent quality and type is a
result of her outstanding personality which stands the best of all our
puppies. she tend to be a little aloof or disinterested with other
dogs but crave the attention and approval of her owner and family.
Part of her charm is that she looks so tough but aren't at all. She is
brave to the extreme and will try to guard and defend her owner if she
thinks he/she is being threatened.
There are a few issues which I will like to make you understand
before we proceed;
1st. I do NOT place our puppies in homes where they will just be
breeding and making money without love and care giving to them like
what I do or even more.
2nd. we do NOT let our puppies go to homes where they would live outside!
3rd. We will NOT place our puppies with anyone who has any history of
child or animal abuse!
4th. All of our new puppy owners must take time to educate themselves
on how to properly care for their unique new puppy.
5th.Last but not the list, we will probably turn down homes that have
a large number of other dogs. As long as you can make us understand
that you will share the love in your homes with these puppies, we will
consider placing the puppy of your choice to your home, regardless of
your location, even if you are not located within a driving
distance, we do consider delivery as an option.
About the general temperament of all three puppies They Conveys
impression of determination, strength and activity. Alert, bold,
loyal, dependable, courageous, fierce in appearance, but possessed of
affectionate nature. Courageous (not vicious or aggressive), and
demeanor should be pacific and dignified. These attributes should be
countenanced by the expression and behavior. Please get back to me
with your choice of puppy amongst all three and i shall advice you on
the next step to take towards getting the puppy
in your home as soon as possible.The are all 12-13 weeks old.Each
puppy will cost $420.00 including the delivery to your location.Where you located as well.Thank you once again
and have a wonderful time.

No intoduction with name, and no signature bloc made me wonder. now that i have seen all these posts from different individual's i'm not doing it. Thanks.

I almost fell for it, although it wasn't for puppies but Chickens! 70 of them, a lady claimed she was returning the US from UK & needed to sell, or give away her Buff Orpington Chicken, but she turned out to be at the other end of the UK & offered to give them to us, if we contributed to the shipping, which had to be paid to the Cameroon...beware

I almost fell for this as well...except mine came from this email siberainpets@hotmail.com...I thought it was odd just the way they were talking in their emails...please don't fall for this and I really appreciate everyone that posted comments on here because otherwise I would have been jipped money once again thanks a lot

Email #2:

Hi,
Thanks a lot for the reply, I am very moved with your mail because it makes enough sense and now I feel assured that I am given my pets to a good and safe home and I am glad that you have some experience in taking care of pets and I am also glad about the guarantee that you have given me and the way that your house is well equipped. I would have loved you to come and pick this pets up but I recently relocated to Miami FL and you know it is very far from you so if you accept me to ship the pets to you using the PETS TRANSPORT AGENCY here in Miami FL which will cost you $295 only for the both puppies and they are going to be delivered to you at your door steps as the agency does door-to-door services.

So if you are OK with me shipping Jack and Kerry to you then you have to get back to me with the following information so that I can place the pets on board as soon as possible so that you can be receiving them early enough

Your Full names...
House address...
Your mobile and land line...
Postal code...

The above information is needed because when I get the puppies register on board, the pets transport is going to trace your house easily so get back to me with the above information so that I can ship them to you and one more thing I am glad about your experience you have in pets and the guarantee that you assured me, I would love you to send me updates about them when they arrives you OK.

Waiting for the details
Warm regards.

Rita.

I recieved an email absolutely IDENTICAL to the one from Doris. Same puppy name and everything. My husband and i are sick to our stomachs. I study psychology and new after a few emails that this lady is a scammer. How she spoke in email one was sad and heartfelt. She reals you in with sympathy, wanting you to take care of and love her "baby". Then as the emails come, it gets less and less like she's attached to the pups, starts calling them "pets" and has no emotion. Also the grammer in the email was just awful. Like a forein person was trying to type english. Totally a scam. The email I recieved was for two- 12 week Siberian Huskys, Jack and Kerry, a boy and a girl, from a lady named Rita Maxs, rita.rita.maxs@gmail.com. I even recieved adorable pictures that now just pull on our heartstrings. It's disgusting.

Thank you for the info!
I also had the same experience. I received an email from someone claiming to be Jade Pris at jadepris01@yahoo.com, which was identical to the one from "Doris".
Very sad that people can get away with this.

Thank you so much for the info. I had the same issue and thankfully you all have saved me $. It seemed weird to me since I have checked how much it would cost to ship an animal and she told me it would only be $150. The email she sent me is almost identical to yours. Her email address is: sharonshelly2010@gmail.com.

Thank you Thank you Thank you! I almost did this too, but ran a quick check and came on your post .You just saved me $ and much heartache.

Here is the e-mail From Doris Plane or dorisplane010@yahoo.com:

Well I should have realized as soon as I saw "free" that it was a scam. We have been looking for puppies for my boys and to give a dog prescience around the house. About 6 months ago I was looking to buy English Bulldogs but they were so expensive that I decided to revert back to buying English Mastiffs. We've owned them previously and felt it was the better choice. I started looking around and unfortunately there is always someone who didn't read the first sentence of the description for English Mastiffs and missed the part that they are HUGE dogs. So in short you can find ppl wanting to give them away from time to time.

I found two separate ads on oodle.com and made contact. Then I started receiving phone calls from this guy who was in Africa on mission with his family and he just wanted shipment costs, etc. roughly $500 and of course Western Unioned. Since I was unfortunately a part of another scam about 4 years ago around sending money through Western Union I did not want any part of this and told the guy I wasn't interested in the puppy anymore. The second day I get a call from the other ad, and it was the same guy! So glad I backed off of that one.

Anyway, fast forward, I have two wonderful English Mastiff puppies being delivered at the end of this month, scam free thank God. But I need to upgrade my vehicle to family sized and I ran across this ad for this Free 10 week old English Bulldog puppy from dorisplane010@yahoo.com on Free Napkin in Reno. I just got the e-mail, read it over, it's almost word for word like one of the previous posters put in their response.

I'm glad I decided to Google "Free English Bulldog Puppy scam doris plane. Hopefully in the future others will before they fall for the trap. :)

Total scam! Beware!
I answered an ad on Free Napkin in Indiana for a "lovely English Bulldog Puppy" the "owner" Doris Plane claims she had a terrible accident and had to go back to England.
After a few e-mails and me being able to assure her that we would love and take care of the puppy. I was told to send $250.00 to the Pets Transport Agency. This agency does not exist, they do not have a valid business lisence anywhere on file.
I have spoken to several people at the airlines also and they have never heard of this company.

Hi Kenneth,
Please dont do it! It is very much a scam, I have just gone through the same process but as soon as I saw Cameroon I realised that it was a scam.You can find it anywhere on the internet.If you also ring the number of the 'transport' agency, you will find it goes to a girl who is in on the scam. [protected]-ring and check.She will pretend she knows nothing but is not interested in knowing which you would if you were an innocent victim.I hope you did'nt send money!

i have read your comments and it is not a scam, it looks like one but I have used the agency several times.

Hello Brandy,
I am currently trying to get a puppy from oodle.com. I have a person with a similar story saying how they are too busy to take of puppy. They also initially were going to meet me then realized that we were in two different states. The company is the same pettransport.tk who wants me to send money to cameroon. Did this actually work for you or was it a scam. I have been very skeptical and still havent made a final decision,
Thanks,
Kenneth
