Cottage Bichons Home

Just like a lot of the other victims, I was looking online for a bichon and found the perfect one at www.miragebichonshomes.com, and we fell in love with this beautiful white little princess. The seller claimed her name was Daliso Ventura, and that she lives at 4021 Buffalo Road, Atlanta, GA. Her Phone number is 678-813-7707. We asked out the dog she named Kallie, she gave us some info 10 weeks old, comes with shots, warranties, and all the typical bill of sale for a puppy. But thank goodness my transaction went into a pending status, it gave me time to research her more. She was just too high pressure and kept making suggestions to open another zelle account or get another pay app. She wanted $900.00 for the puppy and was going to have the puppy delivered to our home. The more I looked at their site, they only had- a handful of testimonials, and the website copyright was 2021. I tired to search her online and nothing. I immediately stopped my payment. I texted her and told her I know she is involved in a scam and that I was going to report what she tried to do to it family, and NOT ONE WORD from her. She should be scared, she needs to know -people will not tolerate this [censored] scaming people. The other numbers they use are 800-290-5087, 678-921-1439 and 678-813-7707. Stay away from this site.

Total money lost $900

Type of a scam Online Purchase

I was online browsing to get a puppy. This website gave me enough info for what I was looking for. They sent me a contract immediately and all required info. The seller signed a contract, sent it to me via email and required cash payment through a Zelle Cash application. I paid and sent a receipt to seller along with signed contract from me.

Never received puppy or money back.

I emailed multiple times to a seller, asking for a status of getting my puppy; called and left messages on his phone. I never got any reply form a seller.

It just happened a week ago on September 4, 2020. I paid $900 , which I lost now. I wanted to tell others that this company is a scam. No one else needs to be in my situation.

I wish I could get right advise or right people to get help with that all.

Thank you for attention.

They almost got me! But luckily I did some research and found this website some how. Thankyou .This guy David Nguyen is still operating under this name and email Id used is hoyosyamilet9 @gmail.com. I became a little suspicious when I noticed all the errors and unprofessional print. Looks copy/paste, and also too good to be try I currently own an akc bichon Frise with papers and she didn’t cost 900.00 with shipment included to a whole other state. (Red flags) all over the place. I attached a copy of the agreement but removed my info. I was going to purchase Gizmo and they are too eager to make the transaction, they told me they’d ship the dog today as soon as I zelle pay them the 900.00 I did not. So buyers beware if it is too good to be true, then go with that thought. Dang scammers. Thanks again to the previous posters!

The person saying they are a breeder for Bichon Frize puppies is David Nguyen. I purchased and signed a contract for $900 to get a puppy name Hunter. I inquired about Hunter and David replies with an email providing information about the puppy and asked questions to make sure the puppy was going to a good home. After, I agreed to purchase hunter and he sent me a contract with my full name and address and requested payment through cash app or zelle. I told him I had zelle so he emailed me back with his user email [email protected] unfortunately, I sent him the money which I can’t get back. The next day I get an email and text from Paradise Pets Movers that requested for me to pay for a crate that costed over $1500 so they can ship Hunter by 4:30pm. However, I emailed them and stated I know this is a scam and to refund my $900.

They sent a contact regarding me inquiry. Per the contract I send over all info and payment and I’ll receive track for order same day. I sent partial of the payment and didn’t get a receipt or any response. I requested a refund after confirm they are not AKC registered, the business isn’t AKC registers nor is his inventory registers through AKC. I requested my $500.00 to be sent back and I’ve not heard back.
