Tiny Maltese Palace

So I messaged him on may 13th on Instagram interesting in a husky he had posted. He seemed liget at first, he was selling the supposed puppy for $450. We asked if he could hold onto the puppy for a few weeks and he asked us to put down a deposit. On may 15th we sent a deposit of $150 out of the 450 to [email protected]
On zelle. After about a week I messaged them saying we will be leaving on may 29th (a friday) and well be there Saturday morning (he said he lived in ohio and I live in Missouri so it’s a 11 hour drive there). Today is friday when we where supposed to leave and I kept messaging trying to get an address and phone number and they just kept making excuses about his aunt dying and reasons we couldn’t get it. That’s when i found this website and realized it was a slam.

I went to the site TinyMaltesePalace to inquire about a Maltese puppy that I wanted to purchase. Everything sounded good so I sent $800.00 as requested by a Zelle payment to Taurus Hargrove.at [email protected] This all took place Thursday and Friday. It is Saturday and I don’t have a dog. I am still getting emails from this person, which is very cruel. They still said they will send the puppy I picked out but of course they won’t.

I was looking for a Maltese puppy and came across this site. They sounded legitimate so I sent them the money for a beautiful puppy. Money sent, no dog. I am terribly upset as I wanted the puppy. This started on Thursday and today is Saturday. They are still texting me but I don’t expect to get the dog. Stay aaway from this site!

Yesterday the same thing happen to me. Sent money and they emailed me and said the dog would need a Covid shot and insurance and all kinds of stuff. Out 2500 and never received my dog. Uspetairway is who they will be flying with I found out is not even in business. This place is a scam. Called the police and they are going to be investigating. Did anyone else call the police on them

Was looking for a small Maltese puppy to replace a dog we recently lost. We found one we liked at a website, https://eur04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Ftinymaltesepal…⇄ My wife and I picked a puppy named Lulu and agreed on $600 for the puppy and $200 to have her shipped. Payment was made on 2 May 2020 via Selle for two transactions of $400, and $100, as my bank has a limit of $500 a day and the final payment of $300 was made on 3 May via Zelle. Discussions with the breeder occurred using text from the breeder’s phone at 661-927-6722 and via Email at [email protected] About 2 hours after payment we were contacted by breeder and informed that the puppy was with the shipper and that they would be contacting us directly. The supposed pet shipping company, "Delta Pet Transporter Dallas TX", contacted us via Email from [email protected] (notice the spelling is incorrect on shippers). They wanted $1950 via Zelle or other cash transfer to "rent" a special climate controlled pet carrier and of course we had to act immediately to prevent a delay. I refused to pay, contacted the breeder who offered to split the fee, I declined, and then asked if I could come pick up the dog (supposedly in the Baltimore area – a 9 hour drive each way for us). The breeder said yes but that should would first have to contact the shipper and would get back to us with an address to pick up the dog. We haven’t heard back. The Zelle transfers for a total of $800 have been cancelled – hopefully they did not get the money.

I was looking for a male maltese and came across this website which looked very promising with beautiful dogs, tiny maltese palace… I contacted them to inquire on a specific dog and received an email today 5/2/2020 asking me all the questions a real legit breeder would ask. His name is Carlos Fountain, He notified the puppy was available to ship today but didn’t want to take half now and half when dog was delivered. Yet I still agreed zelle the money ($800). Tells me it takes 2 hrs to process shipment arrangements and will contact me once it was done. I tried calling him but he had a google no voice number ( began to get very suspicious). I finally receive a text from him at 230pm informing me the shipment company will contact me within 30 mins because they changed their policy. At exactly 3pm they texted me, didn’t even call telling me to check my email which I did. I opened the email which stated there was a deposit for insurance and crate of $1950!!!!! and upon delivery I will get 1900 back in cash!!!!!! But would only accept cash, western union, cash app, zelle, no credit card payments since the covid 19 the business is down for credit cards. I texted Carlos right away and informed him I was not told about this in the beginning and refuse to pay $1950 and told me I had to because it was their policy… I refused to pay. They kept texting me until 730pm for payment that I could make it through pay pal or this website skrill. Who in their right mind would pay $1950. He stopped answering my text company also had a google voice. Stay away from this website.
