I had the same experience as all above except I was scammed for almost 1000! Same Rosenberg Tx address! Said it went thru a Elite Paws Relocator service to deliver your pup! I believe they all work together or one business scammers! Do not believe this website at all or the texts!
There is no such puppies!
Thanks!
I went thru the same steps as others except I didn’t get as far as paying any money. I had ordered a bassett hound online and this was not the same at all. I decided to check for complaints first. I’m glad I did. Thank you for your stories. You saved me!
I had the same experience as all of the above. I sent $550.00 through Apple Pay. I am in GA the “puppy” supposedly was stuck in Norman, OK due to needing ins. of $950.00. I did not pay and asked for a refund from Hector (whom I have been texting). Radio silence. I called the airport in Norman, OK and they told me it was a scam that they have had a lot of calls like mine. She even knew the “company” I was talking about. Needless to say, there is no puppy and I learned a very expensive lesson.

This was a very expensive lesson learned on my part. I payed $550.00 for a puppy that was to be shipped from TX to GA. I have attached pictures of the website along with the company they "supposedly use" for shipping the puppies. As you will see the puppy was stuck in Norman, OK due to needing ins. of $950.00. I refused to pay and asked for a refund of my $550.00 and have not heard anything back from seller of shipping company. I, also, contacted the airport which confirmed that it was a scam that I was not the first to call looking for my puppy. there was no puppy there.

Initial means of contact Text message
I contacted Hector Cantu of Puppiessafezone.com through this website and he text messaged me. I paid him $410 plus $190 for shipping through my PayPal credit for my puppy I had picked out. When I got the receipt from PayPal credit it had the name Jona William. When I asked him who that was, he said it was his accountant. He told me he had dropped the puppy off and gave me a tracking number and a website that was supposedly the shipper, it was called Petsflyamerica.com. I could click on it from my text message and type in the tracking number and see where she was. Then the next day I get a call from Petsflyamerica.com saying that she arrived in Norman Ok. safely but she didn’t have the required insurance coverage. They needed $950 which I told them I didn’t have it and I was going to contact the breeder. Which I texted him and told him and he said he might be able to come up with $450 if I could come up with $500. Since it would be refunded to me when they deliver the puppy to me. Then when got the money from the shipper I was supposed to send him back his $450. So I sent the $500 to him through my paypal credit again but he gave me a different PayPal address to send it to ( [email protected] ) and this time the name on the receipt came up as Matthew W. I texted him several times and asked him who Matthew W. was and he never did tell me! At that point I pretty much knew I had been scammed! I should have known before I sent it through PayPal credit he asked me to go to Walmart and get two Walmart gift cards $250 each and send to him. But I thought that if it were a scam that I could get my money back if I used my PayPal credit. But I couldn’t, because when I contacted PayPal credit they said cash advances sent to friends and family don’t qualify for a refund!
I was talking to him through text and email, I sent him $600 through my PayPal credit for a sweet little Miniature Dachshund puppy. After I sent him the cash advance I got from my paypal credit the receipt showed a different person’s name that the paypal address belonged to and I asked him and he said it was his accountant! And he was to ship it to me and deliver to my door. He gave me a tracking number and the web address that I could click on the text he sent me and track where she was at. Well I got a call the next day saying that the puppy had arrived safely in Norman Ok, and they just realized it didn’t have the required Insurance coverage They wanted $950! And as soon as they deliver the puppy to me they will refund the total amount to me. I told them that I didn’t have $950 and that I was going to contact the breeder! I called and left a message with who I thought was the breeder, ( he called himself Hector Cantu ) and told him what I was told by Petsflyamerica.com. I also sent him a text. I told him I don’t have $950, he said he could cover $450 of it if I could pay $500. Since it was supposed to be refunded to me when they delivered the puppy, and when they give me the refund I am supposed to send him back the $450 that he supposedly would pay. I said well I have to use my PayPal so he gave me a different PayPal address than he did the first time for the payment of the puppy. And on that PayPal Credit cash advance receipt it had another persons name on it! I realized then that I had probably been scammed so I tried to do a a web search for petsflyamerica.com and there was no such address! When I went to my text message and clicked on the petsflyamerica.com address that he proved for me they had taken the website down, there was no such address! Puppiessafezone.com is a scam, the website for them is still up and going selling puppies that don’t exist! I am sick over this, normally I am so cautious I just thought he was being nice by offering to help me pay for the insurance!

This website is fools gold. They have several photos of dachshund puppies that they claim to be available. They will contact you and ask which puppy you are interested in. Later on they will ask for your personal information such as, address, number, and email. They will then give you the choice of payment, either cashapp or zelle. They will send you a website to track your dogs flight (https://petsflyamerica.com/track/) the status of the shipping does not change. I was informed that I will see an update after the dog has reached its transit and that I would receive a phone call once they are on the way to drop off your dog.
Did you ever receive your puppy? We came across the website and it seemed to good to be true! We are just trying to do a little research on them. We would like a puppy and do not want to be scammed.
Thank you
