March 2nd, 2019 I found an ad on Hoobly for AKC registered Rottweiler puppies. After speaking with the owner, Brianna Van-Y, we came to an agreement on a specific male puppy and the transaction was done. I sent her $400 through Cash-App It was within a day or so that I noticed Brianna's actions and responses began to change. When I finally demanded an updated photo of my puppy to prove it was real, I received a photo of a pug puppy! She claimed she was a busy single mom as her fiancé was working in the south so she would send me a new photo when she got home. It never came. She never sent a meet time and that is when I began doing some more background research. We found that her fiancé Kurtis Dell is currently in prison and is also a registered sex offender! I also found through Genesee Court that her current address was not of 1406 Lynch st Flint MI that she had sent me but was indeed at 4122 Durwood Flint MI and she was being evicted. I sent her message after message with every piece of information I'd put together and threatened to use it against her and she simply said to take her to small claims if I wanted to ever see my money again. So my next few steps were to go into every Facebook site she was listed in as well as every Flint area site I could find and post all of my Hoobly scam info on her, and not to my surprise, I've been contacted by several new people that have recently been scammed as well. One man is a corrections officer who paid for a rott; one is a bereaved pet owner who'd recently lost her Pug so she met with Brianna in a Pizza Hut parking lot (3326 Miller Rd Flint in a silver Grand prix) and paid a cash deposit for a pug; a new lady sent her $900 for two English Bulldogs. This lady ( Allegan) had contacted the Allegan County Sherriff (James Anderson/Detective Lytle) and I've sent his information to every person I've found that has been scammed. I also came across the article published by ABC12 June 2017 of Brianna having her dog stolen and returned, and how terrible it is to end up being in a massive puppy scam from the same person who had been helped! I've spoken to Amber McDowells current parole officer I've contacted several agencies including CPS as I've found that she brings her young children on the meets of scamming people directly; I've found open Child Support cases so I've notified them of her illegal activities and child endangerment; I've notified Flint area DHS as I'm sure she never reported these fraudulent charges as an income; I've notified the FBI Cyber Criminal Agency as well as BBB scam reports with her info. I've also sent her I.D info to Western Union in hopes they stop allowing her to scam through them. Can you please somehow help authorities locate and bring her in? I spoke directly to Brianna yesterday 4/24/19 and she still refuses to have the rottweiler/pug/bulldog puppies she's advertised on Hoobly and refuses refunds. I was also sent beastality reports and ads that Brianna and her mother have posted for a husky named Mya in Flint personal ads. I have several scammed victims willing to share their info and help put them away! We believe per Genesse county records Brianna was evicted from Durwood in March 2019 and although her drivers license states 1406 Lynch, we found her not living their either so we currently have no solid address. Per texts and emails, I have solid proof that she was aware of our military status as well as recieved payments from 2 people for the same rottweiler puppy a week apart!
Either she or Cash App cancelled her "Cash App" account under the name Brianna Vany
looks like she moved ro Perry GA and is coming up with more sob stories.. her husband was just picked up in PErry GA on sexual assult charges and extrafited back here to michigan on sexual assult and child sex ceimes... another poor pup she is trying to get rid of
I'm glad people are catching up with this dishonest individual. She is nasty.
Brianna Vany / Puppy Scammer
Also be wary of the names "Brianna Lee" , "Brianna vany Lee" , "Cindy Brown" , "Cindy Everett" "Cynthia Everett Brown" and "Cynthia Brown" they are all part of the same puppy scam. The often use the name Greater Pines LLC
she goes by "brianna love" on facwbook now.
I've also learned she is telling other people I am lying.
Believe me, I have better things to do but it's important to warn others. I don't expect to get my money back but I won't stop warning others until I do. I have outlined my experience above
She is still advertising as of today 2-20-22 as shown
Correction, Her user name on Hoobly Florida is STARLIGHT82
She's currently advertising, as of 2/16/22 on Hoobley in Florida with the user ID Starlight62 and it appears she has had that account with Hoobly for about four years. The phone number she uses it this ad is the same as one of the numbers we've used to text back and forth so there is no doubt this is the same person. The phone numbers is registered to a woman named Cynthia Brown Everett.
Brianna Vany is using phone number in some of her ads. Rhis is one of the numbers she uses when she was responding to my texts
so I know it is urgent. Thing is, it's registered to a Cynthia Edwards n Florida. All she has to do is refund the $800 she owes me and I will stop complaining and sharing what I'm discovering about her.
One of the phone numbers she'has been and currently using is registered to another name in Florida. She currently has an Instagram ad.
This woman is advertising on Instagram now using one of the numbers posted above

People beware!
It has now been a full five weeks since Brianna Van-y has had my money. She owes me $800 for puppies I did not receive. She has threatened to sue me if I continue complaining online. She's also telling me to take her too court. My next step will be getting the authorities involved.
Her so called Greater Pines Pugs, LLC is no where to be found in the public records.

Brianna has had my money for a month now and still owes me $800. Getting the run around. According to another lady, Brianna is using these Florida phone numbers now:
[protected]
[protected]
Two different people in Florida have told me Brianna owes them a dog. One a French Bulldog and the other a pug. The lady she owes a pug to said Brianna sent her at text begging for additional money like she did with me but that lady ignored her text.
Where in the world is Brianna Van-Y? Most likely Michigan but she is advertising puppies in Ohio and Florida.
She's been hostile since I first started questioning her and threatening to sue me. All she has to do is send my money back.
This woman is extremely dishonest. She will take your money ( under $1, 000 to avoid felony charges) she has had $900 of my money since 1-4-22 and I'm still waiting for a refund. If you send any money to Brianna Vany - Brianna Van-y Lee or Brianna Lee, do so at your own risk.
I caught on to her when I call the vet she said she has been going to for years; they did not know her. That's when she became vile toward me.
Brianna Van-y Lee aka Brianna Vany told me this is her address:
2004 Belvedere Dr,
Toledo, OH 43614
She told another lady her address is:
Woodmont Road in Toledo
She's getting caught up in her lies.
Still not refunded as of today from this dishonest. Once Brianna Vany gets you money, it's gone. A total runaround.
She's not responding now so I'm guessing she has again changed her texting phone number.
She said her vet in Toledo is
Dr Suzanne Savage
And she used the name Greater Pines Pugs, LLC on Hoobly but I found nearly identical ads under other names.
Latest phone numbers are
989 Three Zero Three Eight EightThree Three
And
989 Four Two Three Seven Five Eighty
It really concerns me when I try to call, no one answers and then a message cones on saying these are text only numbers.
Please email her- I’m telling her she needs to contact you, I ran into the same thing but was able to get ahold of her via email.
I have been communicating via text but she has become hostile when I began asking questions. Oftentimes meaning gets confusing and causes misunderstandings with texting.. That's why I tried to call. One thing is for certain, I still haven't gotten any refunds at all so far in spite of her promises to to so. Her husband seems to always be out of town and she needs him to give her his card. At this point, I've already accepted the loss of $1, 000. I'm usually very careful but this time I allowed my emotions to make a poor decision.
There is a Brianna Van-Y set to deliver a pup to me Friday. I’m giving her the benefit of the doubt right now. I’ll make an update here after Friday.
I hope you are successful at getting your puppy.
Did you ever get your puppy?
I did not and have not received my money either.
She's using this address now:
2004 Belvedere Dr,
Toledo, OH 43614

She's also advertising on Instagram under a different name. I know it's her because the phone number she is using [protected], is one of the current number she's using with me for texts. This number is registered to a woman named Cynthia in Florida.
