Hi, et bonjour !
C’est en français que je rédige ce message, car visiblement cette “compagnie” s’en prend aussi aux français. N’achetez surtout pas ! Tout ce qui est dit dans les autres messages de ce site est vrai. J’ai heureusement regardé ici avant de commander. Tout d’abord j’ai reçu un message d’un autre compte, louche car sans aucun abonné disant qu’il cherchait des ambassadeurs pour leur marque. En réalité ce n’est rien qu’une arnaque avec un faux compte Instagram, qui a déjà eu 9 noms qui n’avaient rien à voir avec les chats, qui ne donne pas d’argent à d’associations ni rien. Sur Instagram, “Jessica” nous explique et nous fait un code de 40%, sauf que cette soit disant personne ne répondra à aucune question et renverra toujours “how can I help?” Ou explique que beaucoup de personnes s’occupent de gérer le compte Instagram. Totalement faux aussi. En bref, c’est un non ! Arnaque, il faut le signaler.

This “company” claims to donate proceedings to a charity for animals. That is absolutely untrue. If you go to their page there is somehow a few people who claim to have received an item but there are MANY more who are on the same page as me (see last picture- all people I do not know personally but messaged with about this scam). You can also go to their instagram page , click the 3 dots at the top & then “about this account” there are NINE former usernames for the account including multiple obvious “business names” that have nothing to do with cats. This person has been scamming over 300,000 people for YEARS. I’ve attempted emailing the non-profit he “donates” too, I’ve reached out to the BBB and apparently they have been investigating but more people need to be aware. I’ve reported multiple times to Instagram and I know others have as well, they aren’t doing anything about it. If you read through my messages with this company you will quickly realize what a scam it is. Diversion, ignorance, flat out ignoring me, re-sending messages, you will also see the email they gave me doesn’t work- everything associated with this account is an automated response (one of the women I messaged with sent me her messages and everything was word-for-word from the “company”. PLEASE I urge you to report this person, 7 months later and still no response, remorse, or product in my possession.

I ordered a set in September, it is now mid December and I have no item, and no update on the shipment. I’ve reached out multiple times and was told last month that shipping was delayed and it would arrive soon. Now they’re telling me my order number isn’t valid, even though it’s the order number in my confirmation email and SHOP app.

Ordered two items in august. Only received 1. Have been told in October It was in processing. Told exactly the same thing today. Will never buy from here again.SCAM

Was also contacted by them via instagram and ordered the flanel set with their 40% discount code. Only received the headband, but not the rest. They don’t answer any mails and I only get automatic robot replies on Insta. Had to open a paypal case for this and since they’re not answering on there either, I hope paypal will get me my money back. Wish I would have checked this page further before ordering. The 200k follower on instagram made me fall for it… do not buy from them!

I work in social media and felt the scam but my girlfriend uns my cat’s account with me and she saw the brand ambassador bull[censored] and straight up bought something without telling me about it. There, I couldn’t tell her to not do it (I as at the office when it happened). Now, obviously, she’s mad because she lost money and I’m even madder because those people are using the trust of those who don’t think that they have to check basically EVERYTHING on the internet. DO NOT BUY. Do not hesitate to flood their social media with comments like this because the people who buy aren’t coming on these pages but may read comments on instagram and facebook.

I ordered a flannel and they send me not exactly full pieces and also didn’t have elastic rubber band. Also the pieces I received wasn’t flannel at all. Very disappointed in them. I want expecting from them to have such a bad luck at sending and stealing money from people.

I was contacted by a profile called tamar.joachimpillai_ncwxl11 and told to reach out to @madebymeow if I wanted my cute cat to be a brand ambassador. Curious I checked Made by Meows page which looks legit enough and messaged asking what being a brand ambassador entailed. While they messaged me I googled and found these reports. So I asked about which shelters they donate to and they never answered the question but told me they made a discount code for me. When I asked if I was speaking to a real person they said multiple people are responsible for responding and sometimes they interrupt each other. I asked why they hadn’t answered my question then and they said to submit my request to [email protected] because of their clearly automated responses and these previous reports I did not place an order or proceed from there.

Yep. Should have known this was too good to be true! I didn’t get a confirmation email when I bought the stuff. I emailed them and messaged on insta. I haven’t gotten anything yet. I’m mad.

Like many, I was dm’ed from a new account which asked whether I wanted to be an ambassador. The account seemed real with more than 260K followers and many likes on each post. When I messaged the account, I was introduced to “Jessica”. The website seemed quite legit and I was about to buy with a working discount code but they did not ship to the country I was from… When I dm’ed to ask if they could make it a possible option, I received the same, automated replies. Looking at the recent post on their page, it seems like they message hundreds of people for this scam. I asked which specific shelters they donate the money to or what the roles are of an ambassador but received very vague/not clear replies. This is a definite scam. Don’t trust, don’t buy and report the Instagram account.

Same for me. I ordered the product with 40% discount, in the end the shipping cost was deducted and a small percentage. That was my discount, and they said they will post my photo on their instagram, got automated replies, felt scammed.

I had purchased the triple shell set and only received the headband and scrunchie. The whole point of buying it is so you can match your cat. They have not helped me make it right. They keep giving me an email that does not respond back. All in all disappointing and you can’t even talk to a real person to make it right.. Do not buy! It is also way overpriced but I still purchased because it was supposed to go to a good cause.

I had an PM (as seen in photo) i was so eager to do it the discount code worked and everything but when it came to shipping the United Kingdom wasn’t on the list so i told them this and this was the response i got (as seen in photo) so glad i found this out before i gave the code to friends.

spam message like everyone else, just not by a Jessica; looks like they have other bot names but they are easy to spot. It says to message the main account, all automated messages that no one actually reads. Sorry if your a fellow model disappointed by another spam account, keep at it!

Hi. I instantly realized that I was talking to a bot. ”Jessica” reached out to me as well. Don’t fall for it guys. Luckily, I didn’t order anything, so no money was lost. Donate to your local shelters in person or do some volunteer work :). The funniest thing was when the bot tried to explain to me what a brand ambassador was. They should be able to send you their products for FREE and you promote them in return. Nobody that I know that is a brand ambassador had to pay for the products.

También me mandaron un mensaje diciendo lo mismo que a los demás, sólo que era de parte de una tal Daniela.

Definitely a scam. They contacted me and said I would get a 40% off discount and have the option to select “free shipping” but when I checked, it would cost me $12 plus the $19 (discounted) bandana which I obviously found sketchy. The “person” Is for sure a robot cause the answered all appear to be automatic and don’t make sense to what I messaged. Examples include me asking for their name, and the bot responding “ Please help me help you. I do not fully understand. How can I help?”
Do not give them your money!

I was fictitously DM’ed to be an ambassador, but each time I asked something, they never answered me with the right answers or they answered me with a “I don’t understand you”. When I asked about being an Ambassador and what it included, she never answered me. Her name was Jessica (or so she told me). I had asked her, “will I get my order” and she replied with “I’m here to help” or something along those lines. She even made me a discount code, but I was not falling for it. THIS COMPANY IS A SCAM, ALL THEY WANT IS YOUR MONEY!

Just like the other people here, I was talking to a girl named Jessica. The messages were clearly pre-written and they did not answer my questions at all. I’m glad I caught onto them before buying anything, nope-d out of there real quick and reported them to Instagram.

Got contacted to be an ambassador through instagram. So glad I checked here first! Also got messaged by “Jessica”. Will not be participating in this scam and I reported it to instagram.

Same thing happened to me like others described. A new instagram profile messaged me asking if I want to be an ambassador or a model, I should reach out to Made by Meow instagram page. I did and a girl from Jessica, reached out to me. She told me that they are donating to pet organizations. I also told her that I have 3 cats, and she asked me “what is the name of your cat? As in, one cat, when I said I have 3. Lol. I guess the messages are either pasted, or automated. Anyways, it’s a scam, please don’t fall for it! 🙂

I spoke to a person that was obviously a « computer » all per-made answers on their page on Instagram. I found that a bit sketchy that they were not verified (blue sign next to the name on IG). So anyway, they will ask you to be an ambassador and spend money to buy this catdana that you will never received. And you become part of the bad ones by asking other to use your discount. Be careful !

Good thing I searched here fr scam first instead of buying cuz even tho I said I don’t own any cats the girl on ig kept saying send ur cat pics when u receive our products like a bot. Lol good thing I noticed it before I lost money

I i got contacted to be a brand ambassador by "made by meows." sent them $18 and never received the product. they don’t answer emails or messages. I think this is a scam. They dont list an address on their website so I have no idea where they are. 

I ordered in May and it’s now almost the end of August and have not received anything. Couple months ago I got an email saying it has shipped and I still have not gotten it. When asked for a tracking number they told me anything under $50 doesnt get a tracking number. When I emailed at end of July I got a response apologizing and wanted me to confirm my address and order number and they’d look into it. I’ve emailed multiple times since then and now getting no response at all! Such a scam!

Made an order. Never received it. Emailed them, and they said they would look into it. Months passed and I never received anything. Emailed them for a refund about 6 times now and all the emails are ignored. Now im commenting on all of the Instagram posts. Lets see if I get blocked

Ordered with them because even though I can see and can easily make those little bandanas, they told me that they donate to organizations to help animals.. i purchased 5 items from them which were 3 bandanas (1 for each of my cats) and a scrunchie for myself and accidently added an extra bandana.. i only received 3 out of the 5 and when I messaged them to get a resolution, they replied apologizing and nothing else. I emailed them back 3 times to ask for a resolution and never got a response. I messaged the girl on IG that made me an “ambassador ” and she just kept saying the same thing “email customer service” .. i hope they take this site down for good!

SAME EXACT EXPERIENCE AS Private1582843032.

I was a so called “ambassador” through Instagram. Got my code and everything. I purchased and after about a month with no package I emailed them. They asked me to confirm my order number and shipping address and after that NOTHING. Not even responding to my Instagram messages anymore and my comments on posts on their page have been deleted.

Like many of the people above, I was scammed and have been unable to reach anyone to help me. I never received my items and when I tried getting ahold of someone, there was virtually nothing for me to go to. I tried messaging back the person who helped me on their FB page and found out it was just a bot, and if you ask for help they never respond. Then I tried sending an email to the address they give you for returns and help and I got a response from a “Nicole C.” Who asked for my order number and address and I sent it, but she just responded to it with the exact same email asking for the same information, like it was an automated response.
Their website has no contact information either. I just want my money back.

Order from made by meow back in April, it’s the beginning of June and still no product. Took my money quick, but no response to the FIVE emails I’ve sent!

I ordered a triple set. They only sent me two of the three items. I have sent numerous emails and they will NOT respond. It is impossible to get a hold of anyone. They totally ripped me off. The quality of the items is also poor: the catdana is already unraveling and I have had it for less than 2 weeks. Absolutely horrible shopping experience.

So after ordering from “Made by Meows” because my cousin got the 40% off coupon, I used paypal for my order and it gave me the email attached to the company in charge and my cousin researched him and this man is behind at least 3 fake pet bandana accounts where they take your money and scam you by not replying. please do not order from any instagram company before checking it’s credibility. I have attached the mans twitter and his “website.” I also don’t even have a collar for my cat to put the bandana on, and it was never specified on the site that it requires a collar.

when I looked at the product I revieved I laughed its horrible i couldve made this myself with fabric a needle and thread its quite disturbing I wasted $13 and my cat cant even wear this because one it’s ridiculously small like this is a joke and two it goes over a collar which I dont have.

I fell for this thinking my money was being donated. I was told that I was going to be given a unique discount code and an extra gift. I fell for it and purchased my items. I received most of what I purchased, my package was missing two items as well as the extra gift. I messaged the company five times on Facebook and then finally emailed them. No response has been received. I then checked reviews and it seems this is a scam. The company has a bot that sends the same message no matter what your response until you get to the end and you’ve received the message “One more thing, if you let me know your order number, I’ll include an extra gift for being an ambassador 💞” then whenever you send a message you never get a response. If you look through the comments on Facebook you’ll find eerily similar, if not exactly the same, claims from other people. This “company” is deceiving people by claiming profits are being donated.

I was supposed to be a cat brand ambassador in a an Instagram platform to match my cat with scunchies and headbands. I was even given a special code to take money off my order. I placed the order, and they Instagram person was so helpful and responsive at first, but then nothing. My package never came. It has been over a month, and after e-mailing with a woman named "Nicole C." I haven’t gotten my order, as promised, eve when she said she’d looked into it. I was also promised a refund. That never happened either. I told them I wanted my money back, and now they won’t even answer my e-mails. I have warned them that I would be reporting them to the BBB,all I want is a refund.

Please help.

Horrible experience the same exact thing to a T happened to me.
