Watch Out For Puppy Scammers! 

UPDATE: The site is down!

he's not exactly lying, DC could be Delhi City

This scam is truly hurtful. They are praying on people who desire the love and compassion of a puppy. I’m a single father and I recently got a yorkie for my daughter and I. It used to get lonely with only us two. Our yorkie means the world to us. It would of been devastating if we got scammed.

My girlfriend fell for this scam. She lost $800 and I'm absolutely fuming still months later. Scammers are complete losers.

I always insist that if you’re going to buy a puppy from online, you should get a puppy within driving distance, and ask lots of questions.

I am from Delhi, India. This is awful to see that due to these scammers it makes our city look bad. But again, thank you Pleasent Green to make people aware about all those scams going on. Love from India ♥️🇮🇳

PLOT TWIST: he wasn't a scammer he was just using a VPN

Man, identifying scams is a developed skill I've acquired. The spaces before the question marks, the broken English, the Nigerian accent, the Google Voice number, the way they write, the fact that they say "how soon do you need it"... hell, I even know how to identify a scammy "Hello" smh

My aunt got scammed $850 for a dog a few weeks ago and I just found out about it last night. She just lost her husband and just beat cancer and all she wanted was a companion. She was just so excited and didn’t think nothing of it. New to this channel. Been watching your videos all day. Very happy with what your doing to these people. Keep up the work and make it hell for these scammers

Right from the start, Dog shipping sounds suspicious

I got scammed by the title. I thought they were scamming puppies

I wanted to get a puppy off of craigslist once. The ad stated they lived in my town but when i contacted them they had some story about how they had just moved and now would need to mail me the puppy and such and they sent me pics of the “dog” and what not..... they wanted me to pay for the shipping to send the dog out. glad i was smart enough to see through their crap so i didnt fall for it. 1. If a listing is too good to be true for a dog, it is. 2. If they post it in your area and then claim that they no longer live there or whatever it is a scam. 3. If you cannot see the dog in person (only allow you to see pics), it is a scam (dont fall for videos) 4. If they ask for prior payment to mail a dog, it is a scam.

Sure he’s in DC - Delhi Central

Also adopt locally from animal rescues, humane society, etc.

My family nearly fell for one on Facebook but we realized it was a scam just in time! Be careful out there!

I'm a snake breeder and my first year we were scammed out of $350 supposed to be for a ball python. What sucked for them is they used a reputable reptile shipping company as their scapegoat so I went to the website and spoke with them and they took it off my hands

Every time there’s a foreign scammer he or she write “I” with small “i”.

ALWAYS, adopt and rescue from your local animal shelter!

Because of this video, I was able to tell my friend who was about to fall for this scam, that it was In fact a scam. I reverse image searched the images and they were from a different site. So thanks man

"They never shipped the dog." Am I the only one who didn't know you could ship a dog? Sounds extremely unethical to me.

The best way to not get scammed with an animal purchase is to adopt from your local shelter! ❤❤❤

Ironic. A VPN would have the seller seem to be out of India.

thanks for this, unfortunately we also got scammed over a golden retriever, we actually received a dog, but quite quickly realized he was some kind of lab mix and not at all a golden retriever, since we are already caring for him we decided to just keep him and let this be an expensive lesson

I am a victim of this scam I was heartbroken and depressed after loosing all that money this happened a month ago and I am still shook that I fell for it

This guy is SO underrated.

I wait for these!! I’m so excited!!

Step 1 to avoid pet scammers: get your pet physically and don’t be isolated

As a former breeder, not asking you a lot of personal questions about how you will care for the dog is a huge tip off.

Me waiting for the African music to play when we find out he's Nigerian 1:51 ...

Lol I wonder how much ddos attacks he’s going to get after u showed his IP

I died from Mickey’s laugh lmaooo

I tried to purchase a Dachshund Puppy a couple of months ago and was almost scammed too. The only reason I noticed it was because it was just too good to be true. And thanks to people like you I saw all the red flags! I blocked the person. I ended up a purchasing a puppy from a local person that was legit.

There is probably someone doing this with all kinds of animals Ducks Snakes whatever

a while ago i bought a "yorkie" puppy online, went to the place and they sure gave me a puppy, looked to be barely a few weeks old, and shouldnt have been sold until a couple more weeks. she turned out to of course not be a yorkie, but we still love her because it wasnt her fault. The "breeder" didnt contact me ever again, and blocked us everywhere lmao

I was scammed by a puppy a long time ago! He moved in and ate me out of house and home, never did a thing in 15 years. Oh other than chew a really nice pair of shoes!

We seriously need to hire this guy!

Someone did this to someone in my area on marketplace she paid $50 deposit to hold the puppy and the guy blocked her and disappeared off Facebook she was so devestated

I was looking for a puppy a few months back, and have encountered so many scammers. They message you for a while, then reveal they “moved” recently to another region across the country, and now you have to pay shipping fees so they can deliver the puppy to you. It’s literally all the same formula. It’s horrible how many pet ads are actually scams. Best to go to reputable websites and animal shelters if you’re looking to adopt.

Imagine if you showed him the picture of the house across the street from the address he gave you. He would've said yes anyways, and you could've revealed to him that that was the wrong house just for laughs

I'm so glad I started following this channel. I'm now so much wiser to the different types of scams out there. I just found a ring of online puppy's for sale scammers. I would love to help exposing these frauds who prey on other individually.

I love it when The Hoosier state (Indiana) gets a random shoutout

"Most cities don't allow more than 2-3 pets." Me with 8 dogs and one turtle: "Pack your bags, we're going to Russia!"

I know someone who was scammed £16,000 this year to get ONE dog (not even pedigree) in the UK. A real life person. How ridiculous! Shame on the scammers but shame on the people who let themselves get scammed!

My address has been used as a “pickup” site. It’s absolutely frustrating. I get people showing up looking for a puppy from all over. Random ass people in my driveway that expect a puppy and I have to tell them to report it to their police, because my local department can’t do anything.

My aunt is a breeder and will hand deliver the pups herself; even driving across the country.

I think it would be obvious that it is a scam when they say that they are gonna ship the puppy too you.

My wife and I just got a maltipoo pup a few days ago, but before that i was looking for pups online and clicked a site or 2 and ended up almost walking into the same exact scam. The exact thing that you just said was happening to me. I called them, no answer and a minute later they texted and basically told me the same thing they told you! Glad I didn’t fall for it lol.

I really enjoy your videos! I love how you tell the story of you owning them. I do like how you’re able to get through to some and make a difference. Great work!

Pleasent Green posts after a couple of weeks: Everyone(including me): happy squeals

I literally JUST got puppy scammed over the last couple of days. I'm absolutely heartbroken. I spent $400 on toys and supplies for the puppy, scheduled a wellness checkup at the vet, told my friends and family, and then...no puppy. I'm absolutely heartbroken. I lost $1,495 to the scammers plus what I spent on the items, and my confidence in pet ownership as well as confidence in my own intelligence. But they were incredibly tricky and I wasn't aware of the warning signs. As soon as I realized I was being scammed, ALL the red flags became so clear, it was crazy. I could give a list a mile long of all the things to watch out for.

Thank You Pleasant Green, your one my favorite Expose Scammer Channels. Keep the good work.

When I was looking for a dog on fb groups so many people were complaining about so many breeders claiming they're scammers. How easy is it to say you're a breeder and you have all these dogs but you have to give a deposit because of course... There's no breeder , no puppies, you just lost out

Thanks to you I have now a new purpose in life ! You made me realize how easy it is to report a website. I will absolutely do my duty as a web-citizer/user!

My mom found a scammer trying to get a puppy for my dad who insisted on shipping the puppy after getting payment, but she kept insisting that she would drive to them to see the puppy first and then pay them (it really wasn't that far away from us) and they eventually disappeared when my mom wouldn't give them the money upfront.

Unfortunately I've been scammed by three so-called internet breeders in a week trying to find a puppy for my son it's absolutely disgusting

I went through so many dog scammers, now I can already tell who is a scammer and who is not. All the scammers ask the same long and so many questions. Now if i want a puppy, I only choose the place where I can view the puppy myself and pay in full amount (no deposits ) when I go pick up the dog.

I LOVE what you do and how you do it! Please keep up the good work and when you start your empire, I’m there for a manager position 😉

Moral of the story: Always rescue. The dogs need a home and are often cheaper, as well as being guaranteed not a scam

Fun fact, I saw a similar dodgy listing when I was 13 for a white chihuahua, no info whatsoever. The price was 100$ so I saved money for 2 weeks and I sent it via bank transfer. Surprising thing is, I actually received a healthy white chihuahua which has been my best friend for more than 8 years. This video makes me realise how lucky I was not to get scammed lol

I'd like to offer my tremendous appreciation for this video - you prevented my wife from being scammed! We're in the process of looking for another dog to be a friend to our current family pup - she's super friendly but grew up with dog friends and seems lonely. My wife found someone offering some adorable puppies near us, and started the conversation. After watching this video weeks ago, I thought it was important for her to see it. It was - she recognized the scam as soon as the other person asked for a rehoming fee, and a deposit. She hit them with lots of questions, and the story fell apart. Thank you for doing what you do - it's hard work keeping yourself safe from this sort of thing, and videos like this are a great way to prepare for the new vectors scammers are taking.

me: “Na not buying that scam bruh” sees a kitten ad: y-e-s

I was interested in a Australian Shepherd puppy once that was being sold on Gum Tree, puppy was apparently based about 140 KL from me, great no probs I can go directly and buy it, or so I though, suddenly the seller had to go interstate, family reason, and took the puppies with her but she would send it to me once I payed for puppy and shipping. That point I realised it was a scam.

I love your videos I’ve told my friends and family about your channel and what u had done to help people across the world ...my wife keeps asking me all the time when is he gonna put some new videos 😂😂...thank you for keeping us entertain in these hard times.

You can always call area vets and see if they have any breeders as clients, also any reputable breeder will give you their vet information, always ask before buying, call the vet and make sure they are legit, that’s how I acquired my Frenchie

A similar scam is still going on, I just had to save my grandma from wasting her money on this scam that offered "realistic" robot dogs that just used B-Roll footage of real dogs.

Love to see this guy , Jim Browning , Kitboga , and ScammerRevolts collaborate. It would be scammer's worst nightmare.

Dude selling/buying animals is already bad enough... but scamming people who most likely wanted to surprise their kids or something is another level of evil...

My friend got scammed out of $2,500 on this same exact scam. I told him not to do it because it could be a scam and he just didn't listen to me, he wanted a dog more than anything! I felt so bad for him.

A RU-vid scambatier explained in one of his videos that VPN's are a scam themselves, that they don't really do much at all.

I almost had this happen to me. I was looking for this shiz tzu puppy. The only reason I didn't get scammed was due to knowing that western national payments can sometimes be very fishy.

I’ve encountered a scammer that tryed to pretend to be my favorite RU-vidr told me to install this app but as soon as the scammer texted me every couple of minutes I just knew thx to these videos 🔥

This guy is so wholesome.

When you can’t see them in person then don’t fall for it

If someone is dumb enough to be scammed by that, wow! They need to seek help, I mean come on!!

I really enjoy all your videos men you do a really good thing for people and you've a great heart you're an inspiration my man thank you brother

You offer others a great service in short videos. Thanks.

Somehow I missed the earlier "Cat Scam" video.. Guess I know where I'm heading from here.

Well God bless you. We need more people like you. Now guess where all these scams are coming from? Craigslist. I live in Jersey but from I see these scammers have infested NYC & NJ and other tri state areas.

someone once tried to scam me with a photo of my own dog

Just fell for this, thankfully the bank put a stop to it and got my money back. Reported the site, too. All I wanted was a Samoyed puppy, man.

The way I got my puppy is from a website where you can ACTULLY go to the owners and not only dogs you can get cats other pets and goats FRICKIN GOATS

"here is different" he talk about cow

Thanks for sharing tools so we can help too!

I love this guy. I been watching your videos for a long time. Ima subscribe.

Of course there are puppy scammers. Puppies that scam you for more treats. They are such little con artists.😂

I just found your channel, its very amusing keep up the good work.

Awesome and informative as always Ben! Make a behind the scenes video for us! How do come up with the idea and so forth?

I ended up crying during this video becuase my parent's got me a dog for x mas and we got scammed bc she sold it to us sick and we only had the dog for 4 days 2 days later my parents got another dog for me Info on my dog that died Died at 2 months White fluffy Nice/playful Small

this guy is scamming us to watch his videos. is he like a scam magnet!

this vid will help me so much since I have ALMOST been scammed for a puppy but now Ik how to look out for those scammers!

1:20 back when I was at public school, I would use puppy spot all the time! Whenever I have free time, I would use my Chromebook to go on puppy spot!

What happened to the most recent video? It became private...???

Hi guys! I hope you have a nice day and stay safe, God bless you!

Plenty of lovable puppies and kittens, big small, all breeds...at your local shelter...waiting to be loved

Same thing happened when I was trying to buy emus, your tips of IP grabbing saved me from sending 300 to Cameroon.

XDXD I was laughing my butt off this is so funny lol

normal people: good vid 9 year olds: fIrST

You are the BEST !!! Thank you for the info!!

Before you buy a pet, check local Pet Shelters run by Township Agencies. For a small fee, some allow Seniors, Vets to adopt for no fee.
