I was looking for Chihuahua puppy and found ad. Nice woman told that she will give me the puppy for free and I only have to pay for shipping. Of course I agreed and transferred money to Pet Shipping GK Service. The puppy was never delivered and I think that woman and this delivery company work together.

BUYERS BEWARE: My wife and I were purchasing a longhair dachshund puppy to be flown in from Jacksonville, FL and delivered to us by this so called petshipping.com service, supposedly based out of Orlando, FL. They had us pay $350 for shipping and once she was ready to ship, they asked for another $500 deposit on a special heated pet shipping crate that would be completely refunded upon delivery of the puppy. When the puppy was (so called) ready for delivery, they demanded that we pay another $2950 for insurance (of course, totally refundable upon delivery). We then knew it was a scam and believe that the person selling the puppy and this so called petshipping service are one in the same. We were out $850 total and still didn't get a dog. Save yourself from being scammed like this and please buy your puppy locally where you can go and see the puppy in person and speak to a real live professional breeder.

Rebecca, your instincts were correct. My husband tried to buy a German shepard puppy from commander Lucas last night for his mother. He also decided to buy the other litter mate for our kids as we would get a discount 2 puppies for $800. We were contacted by what looked like a legitimate pet delivery service. We bought 2 reloadable cards at jewel and read the numbers off to the shipping company. We waited 2 hours for a confirmation email. We got one stating because the dogs were so young they needed a special carrier with heated and cooling mechanisms $1000 deposit. That's when we realized what was happening. If the guy dropped the dogs off they would have already known they needed this and it would have been part of the initial amount. I started to research the shipping company and this guy and realized this is how these scams work. They had already cashed out the card. We totally fell for the widowed veteran thing too, my husband served in Iraq. That's what's bothering my the most a fake veteran took advantage of a actual decorated war hero with 3 kids. When I checked the emails my husband had sent I noticed the grammar issues as well for one thing he spelled commander wrong "comander" an actual vet would know how to spell his rank. I'm surprised my husband missed that one. It really stinks we were really excited and now feel so stupid. Being out $800 right before Christmas is terrible, on the bright side it could have been $1800, that definitely would be worse. I know this disgusting imposter will get his one day, too.

My heart broke when I saw this comments board and my anger with through the roof when I realized that I was ALMOST robbed of my $500 hard earned, honest money. My family and I really wanted a female Siberian Husky puppy, and we were so excited to go through with it, we didn't even think of it to be a scam. In the email this person said that they were a RETIRED SOLDIER (AN ARMY COMMANDER) (WATCH OUR FOR ANY EMAIL WITH drlucas271 OR heading COMMANDER LUCAS) and that his wife passed away, and that he relocated to Boston. I fell for the sympathy card! Anyway I had caught on, a realized that in the emails that me and this scam artist were exchanging, there was serous incorrect grammar and the use of phrases and words that we don't even use in America: mobile phone instead of cell phone; landline instead of home phone number. and directives instead of directions. I have made my complaints to the authorities and hopefully they can stop this scam. I believe that this operation maybe in connection to one this being operated in Cameroon because the "real pet shipping company" - which is in GERMANY! - have made an announcement of people putting local pets for sale local residents and using a copycat of the English G.K. Airfreight's website. I feel like such a fool, because I'm always aware of such scams, but my family and i really wanted to get a puppy. I am incredibly sorry to those that lost their hard earned money, and have no idea how to get it back. For those out there that want to to get a pet, GO TO THE LOCAL PET SHELTERS, ANIMAL CONROL, ANIMAL HUMANE SOCIETY! ADOPT, ADOPT, ADOPT! ALSO SAHRE THESE POSTS ON SOCIAL MEDIA!

Tried to give us a free husky puppy. Posted the ad in Washington state but said they lived in Nebraska after we messaged them and that the puppy had all shots and papers and everything. Asked for $120 dollars to be sent to GK Animal Freight Services for the transportation. Immediate red flag for us. Did a little research and found this. What a disgrace. DON'T DO THIS ###.

SCAM! I am usually very leery about buying stuff online, but the "lady: promised me my chihuahua. I stupidly sent money and bought all puppy necessities like a fool. I waited paitiently and no puppy came at 8:30pm as promised. Thet text me saying I needed this b.s. fee for them to deliver the puppy. I text back saying I had no more money and the person on the other end said I was going to go to jail for leaving an animal. UHH duh... there was no puppy. We went back and forth and then the "nice lady online" started threatening me. I said F you. No puppy no money. I got texts until 7 am until I got a phone call from a man trying to muffle his voice. He threatened me and said he knew where I lived and I yelled at him back and he hung up on me. Next day I went to the police. Still looking. I hope this spares people. Heartless ###.

She's at it again so any one out there looking for a animal on any website please be careful. Now this lady is saying she's in boston and I was going to get 2 french bulldogs from her we emailed back and forth. And she said I was a perfect fit for her dogs. Most not have a heart because I told her of these dogs being a Christmas gifts for my kids. And she used a story of her husband dieing and needing to get rid of the dogs.To make a long story short I looked up this G K Pro Express animal transporting and this is what I found and I want to thank everyone who put there stories on her because this is how I made my decision to not send her money and be another one of her victims. Thank you once again.

We almost just got scammed as well. We were looking for Russian Blue kittens and wanted to buy from a local person here in Wisconsin. She advertised that she was in Wisconsin. We e-mailed her to say we wanted to drive to her house to meet the kittens. She e-mailed back that she was very sick and had a brain tumor that needed to be operated on in New York and that she had already relocated there but could ship the kittens. The e-mails were written in such choppy, poor english and the grammar was horrible. She was very demanding with lots of questions about us and if we could care for the kittens. We dismissed all of this and credited it to her brain tumor as to why her e-mails were barely legible. Her name was a little odd too. It was Queen Kendra. But we dismissed that as well. Finally, she wanted us to send the money for the pet transportation with GK Pet Shipping Service to some random guy in Massachusetts. We looked up the shipping company and found these posts! We immediately e-mailed her back to never contact us again and that we were aware that she was running a scam. Here are some portions of her e-mails that should be recognizable to anyone out there that has corresponded with her.

Omg -_____- I was looking for Pomeranian puppies and yes, this lady from New York say its free, she has to give it away, all I have to do is pay $400 for shipping. So it's kinda odd and suspicious! But I was still interested and wanted to know if it's legit or not, so we emailed back and forth. I told her how can inprove if shes not a scam? And She told me the payment is not toward her, only for the shipping agency. And she wanted me to use Western Union for MoneyGram or Money Order. (To me, if it's a pet shipping company in the U.S., why not pay online directly to them on their website and so on?) Why money Order/Gram under a person's name and address?

And the way how it's formatted, uh, not professional. Their emails and stuff. Weird thing was, G.K Shipping is in Germany? This lady say she's located in New York, Money Order 's address was also located in New York? Decided to do some revies and found a few. thank you for saving me and the next victims :) G.K Shipping is a SCAM! They will post ads saying its free puppies all you have to do is pay for shipping fees! ALERT! SCAM SCAM SCAM!
