Craigslist Puppy Scammers

Maltipoo / Goldendoodle / White Labrador / Yorkie / Maltese / Malchi / Teacup Morkie / French Bulldog / Rottweiler / Golden Retriever / Dachshund / Penelop / Cavapoo / Mini doodles

These scammers run scams on Craigslist by pretending to sell puppies of various breeds.  They create cute ads with very little information in them to solicit you to contact them.

Many of these Craigslist SCAM ads will include a picture of the puppy with the number embedded into the ad.  This is avoid detection by Craigslist.

The problem is, there are no puppies available.  They simply scam people out of money.  They ask for a deposit.  Pretend they are going to send you a puppy but the puppy never comes.  They will sometimes mention they will ship the puppy via the airport.

NO MATTER WHAT YOU DO.  DO NOT SEND THESE PEOPLE ANY MONEY!

They use online (VOIP) numbers from folks like Google Voice, TextNow or Onvoy which ultimately are numbers provided by a wholesaler like Bandwidth.com or Inteliquent/Sinch.  These are likely the same folks that run the kitty SCAM as outlined here:
