I was just talking to someone from this fraud website regarding a cockapoo named Marley who was also supposedly $699 they got back to me fairly quick and insisted I check my email and sure enough it was the same email you all received. I began to text with someone regarding the pup, Thankfully I started looking into the website a bit more and came across all these comments. I started texting the person and telling them that they are scammers and sending them images of the messages I found here and he insisted they weren’t scammers I will see if I can screenshot the messages and post them here. There is a pandemic going on in this world and these people from this website only worry about scamming people shame on them.

We got robbed out of our money by another similar service. This time when I contacted Mandel Cockapoo. I asked to pay by PayPal and they refused. So I right away stopped conversing with them. BTW, I also received the same email from them. Ripoff giveaway was when they only take cash.

I just had a similar experience. I emailed and he texted and called at 1am. He was very Unclear about the delivery service and how to get the papers. I asked a number of direct questions and got no clear answers. This is clearly a scammer and he should be stopped . I received t he exact same emails as the others here also .

We have been on the search for a puppy. We found the site, mandel’s cockapoo puppies and were excited to learn more and buy a puppy from them. I spoke with a man on the phone and he was a little pushy and wanted to know how we would be paying before I ever received the further details I was asking for. He was able to provide more pictures but was unable to produce vet records as requested. I did further research and found that all of the statements on his site are verbatim copied from other articles about dogs. Of course, I did not send him money at that time, but I am disgusted to know that others might fall for this. During my continued research I found what I believe to be multiple sites set up by him as they are all designed in the same way and repeat most of the same information. This person is working hard to scam hundreds if not, thousands of dollars from unsuspecting victims. Please see the other sites below that I believe may be linked to the same scam. http://melvinfrenchies.com https://www.premiumtoypoodleshome.com (this particular site is clearly fraudulent as the email address at the top of the pages changes from [email protected] to [email protected] when the site is designed to look like they are selling poodles!

They are also undergoing potty training to go on pee pads and the outcome has been so impressive.

I found a cockapoo on mandelcockapoo.com and inquired about her. They quickly approved me.

He explained that he wanted a $400 deposit and would do it through Zelle.

I went ahead and did that. He got me connected to a dog delivery service called supreme public logistics. They were to do a nanny service which meant that they would carry the dog on the plane and deliver it to my door. James Shontia Explain that he needed the remaining $299 because he really needed the money for his wife who needed treatment.

The delivery service called me at the time that the dog was supposed to be delivered asking for an additional $1000-$1500 because the airlines no longer excepted their crate and I needed to purchase one to transport the dog. At that point I didn’t do anything else I realized it was a scam.

The transport service also moved very quickly. They told me that they were going to deliver the dog the following day, but ended up saying that they were going to deliver the dog the same day.

Below is the initial email that I received from James, the seller.
