so you remember a few weeks ago when I tried to buy a cat online and it ended
up being a scam well it turns out there's some folks doing the exact same
thing with puppies so today we're gonna learn about how to watch out for
puppy scammers. I want to say thanks to my friends at surf shark VPN for making
I want to say thanks tomy friends at surf shark VPN for making this video possible
if you want to secure your digital life then check out
my link down below and get a discount for three months free so somebody told
me that they tried to buy a cockapoo dog from a certain website that took his
money and never shipped the dog so I went and I checked out the website and
the first question that came to my mind is how his Disney not sued these guys
already but the puppies are pretty cute so I decided to give them a call no
answer but I soon get a text message from them saying hello sorry I missed
your call are you calling about the kakapo and I said yes he said I have
puppies available and ready to go now so where are you located and how soon do
you need a puppy I said well hopefully soon I was interested in ash and I do a
reverse image search for ash and I find him on some website called puppy spot
where apparently he's already been sold okay that's weird but the guy writes
back and he says thanks ash is ready to go now I am asking $800 for ash
including shipping so where are you located I said Utah I am located in DC
but I can ship the puppy to you ASAP if you are ready okay my guess is that he
stole the picture of ash from this legitimate website and claimed it as his
own so let's see if he'll fall for my favorite trick so I sent him a trackable
link to some other dogs site I say do you have puppies like this and he just
responds with his own website but he did click my link giving me some very
interesting information well that's not anywhere near DC this
guy's clearly a scammer so I just write back and I say I'll discuss with my wife
and get back to you about ash so I wait a few days and what am I supposed to do
with this guy if I don't do anything he's gonna keep
ripping off dog lovers so I set up a new Google Voice number and I call back and
once again he texts me saying hello sorry I missed your call are you calling
about the kakapo I said oh yes do you want me to call back he says can you
text if you don't mind okay whatever the guy doesn't want to call me because he's
in India and he knows that I'll find out that he's a scammer I said okay can you
tell me where you're based out of I am located in DC but I can ship the puppy
to you ASAP if you are ready I said well I would like to be able to see the puppy
first do you schedule appointments he said okay do you want to come to DC I
said or we could do a video call he said I don't do video calls I said well
what's the best way to see the kakapo he said okay no problem I said that was a
question you can come to my home or you can send someone I said okay what's your
address so I look up the address and I see a home and then I take a picture and
I send it to him saying this yes I was like you keep all the dogs in that house
because I want them to be home pet only and not show quality yes they are raised
at home with us around kids and other home pets okay there's no way the
District of Columbia lets you own like 20 dogs I say does the city let you own
that many animals I'm a breeder so what do you mean the city let me own many
animals I said I just mean that most cities have ordinances that say you
can't have more than two to three pets here is different okay so I look at help
the regulations for owning an animal in Washington DC and I learned that you
can't own more than four so I send the link and I said I think the city animal
division would disagree with you and he didn't have much to say after that so I
spent a little more time looking at this website and I learned that nearly all
the pictures were ripped off from some other websites
here's a nice testimonial from a family who bought a dog named Duff here's that
same family talking about that dog named Jasper on a site called kakapo puppies
us and here's another dude and the rest of these dogs have had pictures taken on
some green picnic table that picnic tables owned by some food in Napa Dee
Indiana all right this is ticking me off so I get a third Google Voice number and
I don't even bother calling him because I know he won't answer I just text him
and I say hello is your website up to date with available dogs he said thanks
for the love you have for my puppies yes I still have available kakapo puppies
ready to go now so where are you located and how soon do you need a cockapoo I
said I'm in Utah where are you I'm located in DC but I can ship the puppy
to you ASAP so how soon do you need a puppy I said as soon as possible so let
me know once you are ready and I can send you my sales contract for you to
read through and let me know if you are fine with the terms of the contract
before we can proceed I said I'm ready so he sends me a contract and he says
just let me know if you are fine with the contract so I can fulfill the
contract sign and send to you before you make payment okay why is he sending me a
contract when we haven't even discussed what dog I want or how much is gonna
cost so I look at the contract and then I say okay one question okay who ships
the puppies if you were in India he said I am NOT in India I'm in Texas what I
said you said you were in DC yes the puppies are in DC but I am in Texas now
I went for a visit this dude can't even keep his lies straight I said your IP
address is coming from India I don't know why cuz you're in India and that's
what I said are you gonna confess to scamming or do I need to shut you down
and he said absolutely nothing you've chosen death so I went to who is
domain tools.com to see who was hosting their site and I found an email address
to report abuse and then I sent along everything that I've mentioned to all of
you and if the people hosting this site are worth their salt they'll do the
right thing and they'll pull it down before more people fall for this scam so
the next time you run into a site that is obviously scamming people you can use
this method to find out who's hosting the site and get them reported and
there's a lot of these sites out there so please do your civic duty and report
them when you see them and please be careful when you're shopping online you
can never be too careful that's why you really ought to consider
