SCAM ALERT! MINI
BULLDOG PUPPY
SCAM
ALERT!
PLEASE!! TAKE A FEW MINUTES TO READ THIS PAGE!!!
We feel it is truly a shame we must add this page but we feel the
responsibility to keep people informed on how to educate and protect
themselves from these criminals with regards our beloved Miniature English
Bulldog breed!
First please remember that on one hand the Internet is wonderful because
you could find a super awesome, healthy, well bred Mini English Bulldog
puppy to make you happy that you could never have found across the street.
BUT PLEASE be aware that there are lots of scams on the Internet! Please
find below 3 sections of information designed to help you protect yourself
from these heartless thieves.
HOW THE FRAUD TAKES PLACE:
What happens is that scam artists will steal a Mini English Bulldog puppy
pictures and post them on the Internet via online puppy classified ad web
sites. They post ads for a Bulldog puppy that only exist in the item
description. When the seller actually doesn't have the Bulldog puppy that
they are trying sell at all! Seller will then ask for money (usually to be
paid through Western Union or Money Graham) then refers the buyer to the
shipping company who is supposed to send the Bulldog puppy to the buyer.
Of course, the puppy never comes. The buyer calls the seller (with no
answer) so buyer decides to call the shipping company with the reference
number for the Bulldog puppy. Shipping company replies that they don't
have anything related to this reference number or it is not for your
puppy. Sadly the excited family is heart broken and losses all the money.
We have had calls from wonderful people who have purchased what they
thought was going to a beautiful Mini English Bulldog puppy. Scammers have
repeatedly stolen our and other breeders pictures to trick poor people
into sending money. Later after these poor people were robbed of their
money many of them have contacted us.
MANY of these are happening on:
Puppy Find
http://championbulldog.tripod.com/index.html
Sale Bull
Dogs
I think Puppy Find
is one of the worst!!! We & many others have repeatedly informed the
owners of this site, and they will not change it!
PLEASE NEVER buy a puppy off
Puppy Find! This
is a horrible web site that LOTS of good people have been robbed from. I'm
sure you would not want to support them! The Federal Trade Commission and
the Attorney General have been informed!
WHAT TO LOOK FOR:
* MONEY! I takes A LOT of Time, Love & EXPENSE to breed
good English Bulldogs! So if the price sounds to good to be true for that
cute Bulldog puppy, it almost always is! That is the #1 way they get
people!
* CHEAP PRICE/SHIPPING INCLUDED!
* WANTING MONEY SENT ASAP VIA WESTERN UNION OR MONEY GRAM!
* WANTING A DEPOSIT OF HALF THE MONEY ASAP WESTERN UNION OR MONEY GRAM!
* SAYING THEY CAN'T TALK ON THE PHONE! (SOME SAY IT IS BECAUSE THEY GOT IN
A BIKE OR OTHER ACCIDENT- THEY ARE NOW DEAF AND NEED A DEAF TRANSLATOR!
crazy...)
* MANY OF THEM SELL PUPPIES USING ADDS ON PUPPY CLASSIFIED WEB PAGES. OR
THEY MAY HAVE A SMALL, FREE WEBSITE, MANY USE FREE EMAILS LIKE HOT MAIL &
YAHOO.
* THEY SAY THEY WILL SHIP THE MINI BULLDOG PUPPY IMMEDIATELY TO YOUR
CLOSEST AIRPORT, WITH IN A FEW HRS OR DAY OR SO.
* THEY WILL BE TRICKY AND TRY TO GAIN YOUR TRUST BY GIVING YOU PHONY PHONE
NUMBERS, PHONY REFERENCES ETC... ONE LADY WHO WAS SCAMMED TOLD ME THE
SCAMMER EVEN SENT HER A PUPPY CARE PACKAGE!
* RECENTLY MANY OF THESE SCAMMERS HAVE BECOME MORE PROFESSIONAL AT COMMITTING
THESE SCAMS. IN DOING SO, MANY THROW UP THEIR OWN WEB SITES FULL OF STOLEN
PICTURES & EVEN STOLEN TEXT. WE HAVE EVEN HAD SCAMMERS TRY TO COPY OUR
ENTIRE WEBSITE!!!!! SO PLEASE BE CAREFUL. AGAIN DO NOT SEND MONEY BY MONEY
GRAM OR WESTERN UNION. TALK TO THE SO CALLED BREEDER & TALK TO THEIR
REFERENCES. MAKE SURE YOU FEEL SAFE!
HOW TO PROTECT YOURSELF: BE SMART!
* DON'T SEND ANYONE MONEY WESTERN UNION OR MONEY
GRAM THAT YOU DO NOT KNOW PERSONALLY! Please keep in mind that
most of the scam artists are accepting payments via Western Union.
Responsible breeders and companies should be able to accept a bank wire.
Any one that is valid must have a bank account that is filed. When you
send a Bank wire it must go throw the Federal Reserve (Making it safe,
legit & completely trackable)!
* DO NOT BUY AN MINI BULLDOG PUPPY FROM ANYONE WHO YOU CAN'T TALK TO
PERSONALLY AND BECOME FRIENDS WITH!
* DO NOT BUY AN MINIATURE ENGLISH BULLDOG FROM ANY ONE WHO CAN NOT GIVE
YOU SEVERAL LEGITIMATE PERSONAL REFERENCES!
