I inquired about a puppy and if they were willing to meet. They stated that they were a business and needed to collect a refundable deposit for $400.00, I googled the phone number to see if the phone number was registered to a business but I saw a BBB message about the Cameron person/contact. I wanted to add this scam and address to the complaint.

Placed an order for a puppy that was advertised on their website. Seemed ready to accommodate me. Was anxious to receive there money. The wording in the emails was kind of “off”. Talking about how the shipping paper work might take one hour to 24 hours to complete. There were some other slight. Lies that this was a scam. For example the address on the invoice was Nebraska but they said the puppy would be flown out of Zimmerman,Minnesota. I foolishly sent my money. It took 2 days to clear and I did not hear back from seller. Called the number on the invoice and phone was answered by a.foreign man. He said oh yes they would send puppy. I would probably get it in a day or two. Didn’t realize they were holding till August for me. Looked the company up on BBB and found several cases against them.

I received phone calls from several different numbers all starting with area code 504 and beginning with 977 every day for 6 days attempting to help me make sure my business comes up in search results for people using siri and other voice search devices. After learning the cost was $199.00, I repeatedly asked to be removed from their call list, only to be called back day after day. I angrily demanded to be put on the no-call list, to no avail. Today, after their 6th call, I demanded to speak to a supervisor and was told they had no supervisors and they also would not tell me their company name. I said it was illegal to call me after being told to put me on the no-call list and they hung up on me. When I called the numbers they have called me from, I got a recording that says "You have been placed on the no-call list". We'll see if that turns out to be true.

Online Purchase - Puppy Scam

Richard Wilson posted a golden doodle for adoption. I inquired about the pets availability & location, which he did not initially supply as I had to ask several times. He eventually said he was in Mississippi & that he would deliver the pet to me for a cost of $755, then later reduced the price to $655 if I were to supply a $300 deposit. Everything seemed legit. He sent me numerous photos of the dog & said he was an ethical breeder, even showing me a picture of a certificate for AKC STAR Training Certification. However, on the certificate his name was spelled Richard Willson with two L’s. When we starting discussing how I could secure the pet with a deposit it was initially suggested that I use one of several apps via 304-695-4855. I initially attempted ApplePay first, but when it wouldn’t go through I sent the funds via CashApp instead. I made him aware & he immediately asked that I cancel the CashApp transaction so that he could send me a request through ApplePay. But when he sent me the request it came from another number, this time (706) 504-2754. I immediately became suspicious & asked if there was any other proof he could supply that this was legitimate. He suddenly went on the defense and stated that having supplied his certificate should have been proof enough. I then asked if he had any references and he did supply one, by the name of Elijah Brown, but this person had a very blank Facebook page with a very little information to go by. And when I looked close at Richard Wilson’s page it too, was very blank with only a few recent pet adoption posts, however, these posts had no comments and very little information about the pet itself. This struck me as odd particularly for golden doodles because I’ve been searching for one for some time and they are in high demand and they go very quickly. Additionally, the breeders generally ask a lot of questions of the adapter which Richard Wilson asked none. From here Richard Wilson acted offended and told me that I should go adopt elsewhere. Then a few hours later, he started bombarding me with pictures of the pet that I was interested in. I called AKC and they had no registered breeders in their system tied to either one of those phone numbers. A few hours after that he direct dialed me twice, but I didn’t answer. This was a close call for me. I did not lose any money. And I hope and pray that he no longer harasses me. I make this report in the hopes to prevent the same thing or worse happening to others.

On 5-31-2025 I ordered from Heagu a Zakdavi glucose devise, the cost was $39.99, as advertised on Fox News Website. I paid with a credit card but when I checked my credit card a few minutes later my credit card was charged, pending $114.78. I immediately cancelled my order by sending an email to (support@heagumart.com) and also blocked my credit card. I am lucky that I blocked my credit card because this company tried to take an additional $59.99, no telling how many times they would have try to take money out of my credit card account. Unfortunately the charges of $114.78 went through on my credit card. I received an email from them the next day 6-1-2025, that they apologize but according to them that since my order was on the way and at this stage it can no longer be cancelled or refunded. What a SCAM they are ruining. I going to report this SCAM to the FBI via (www.ic3.gov). I hope this “HEAGU” Company do the ethical and right thing by refunding my $114.78 back to my credit card.

I *** ******* ** ******** * ******* ****** *** ***** *** ******* ******* ******* ******** ***** *** * **** ***** *** ******** **** ***** ****er and email and indicated what cat you were interested in. I immediately got a response and from Theadore B*****, who is the supposed breeder. He informed me that the cat I was interested in, a blue bicolor ragdoll named Hazel, had gone through several health screenings, was registered under the international cat association. They said that Hazel would cost 800 USD and they accepted payment either apple pay or chime. They assured me that Hazel came with 1 year health written health guarantee, first set of vaccines, dewormed x2, vet certificate signed by a licensed vet, litter box, litter scoop, food/water dish, toys, sample of food, lifetime breeder support, a kitten pedigree, health records, 1 year written health garantee, GCCF registration card, and then it repeated again that it included a certificate signed by a liscensed vet. He then asked a further background question about my home. I responded that that was great news and wished to adopt Hazel. He quickly sent me a contract to sign, where it stated that there was a full right of return and full refund within the first 30 days; we quickly exchanged emails back and forth. Once I paid the 800 dollars for Hazel I did not recieve a receipt but only instructions for Hazel's food schedule and that he would take Hazel the next day to be shipped through an agency that provided a nanny - There was a sense of urgency. The next day, after everything seemed to be going according to schedule, I was informed that Hazel needed a special carrier and vaccine shot in order to travel as he had gotten some sort of fever, the carrier and shot were 910 dollars; I informed them that I did not have an extra 910 dollars to spend and that if they could cover that expense and I could reinburse them at a later time. I had also mentioned that I would be traveling soon and that if they could provide me with a veterinarian document that stated he could travel internationally with me. I did not get a response on either account. When I stated that I had somehow managed to find the money from somewhere, the travel agency responded right away with a phone number to use on apple pay (###-###-####) and (###-###-####). There was a sense of urgency but since I was worried about Hazel I did not think twice. Before making the 911 payment, I emailed both the breeder and the agency stating that I did not wish to have hazel if he was ill, and that I had paid for a healthy kitten - therefore I would rather be given another kitten. They assured me that Hazel was a healthy cat, but to ensure a safe flight those measures would have to be put in place. The agency was called "world freight shipping agency," and I was emailing back and forth with them via this email: contact@worldfreightshippingagency.com. When I implored with them that I had the money and that I had tried to pay through apple pay but it did not work and the bank said it was not the card's fault, they insisted we try the next day and that they would provide Hazel and the nanny room and board. That night I asked for videos of Hazel to ensure the cat was okay, but did not receive any videos until the next day - even though the agency's responses had been very quick until that point. I only recieved word the following morning - which I was beginning to suspect was very strange. Then, once Hazel had supposedly landed, which I was told would be a 45-55 min flight but was only texted after an hour and a half, they said the airport was processing Hazel's documents - but there was a long delay. additionally, they said that in order to transfer Hazel to my home, I needed to pay a 652.18 fine that would be refundable and I would receive a receipt - which I never did. Then, I was told Hazel and the nanny would have to stay in a hotel again because they had yet to recieve the proper paperwork to leave the airport - and to facilitate the process would be 800 dollars more. That is when I said they were being irresponsable and that I demanded a refund. I have not heard back since. They never specified hotel and airport names, and the nanny would respond very late to my messages.

After the check cleared, I sent the money via cashapp to bitcoin & this is where I should’ve just stopped but I was too greedy. I saw the check got reversed & they tried to tell me it was my fault because I didn’t listen or do things properly.

I was contacted about doing a job for this guy name Mark.. His first message he already mentioned paying me with a check, I kinda brushed it off and continued to asked him what the job consist of. He tells me, so I give him an estimate over the a text message and tells me to keep it under 1500 that is his budget. Told him of no problem. we set up a date for me to start the job.. the day before I contact him asking are we still on for this friday . he tell me yes and begins to tell me that will send you a check in the mail and as soon as it cleans you will have he funds to start the job. which he tell me that he gonna send the check for 1200 and when the job is done I will get the remaining balance.. I told him that I will send him a invoice and that he can just pay through the link.. I did my research and the address that he said he owns comes back to a different person and his number comes back as a different person. All of this might be legit but I would like to know for sure before making that attempt to give him my name..

AI was first used to call me with regard to debt consolidation services. The AI hung up on me. Then I called back and pressed '0' to speak with a human. There, a call center representative tried earnestly to get personal information for me so she could give me $100 savings card (or something). I kept insisting on learning the name of the company on whose behalf calls were being made, and got nowhere, after which the representative hung up on me.

I found this miniature Daucshund puppy on-line from who I assumed to be Terry Alvadarado he even sent a picture of his Driver's License and it matched his address, I was purchasing the puppy for my daughter. My daughter's aunt unknowing to me purchased her another one and she decided that she didn't want the puppy. My daughter said this guy I was purchasing the puppy from was a scam, but Terry assured me he wasn't. However, it ended up being a scam and he wouldn't refund the deposit and thank god I didn't pay the other $300. I want my deposit back or a puppy. Thanks, Tina Pope

Found this “stylist” on Instagram and booked with her. On the day, she canceled 15 minutes before my 8:00 AM appointment time. She claimed to not be able to find an uber and had been grieving, I understood and proceeded to ask for my $50 deposit back. She let me know that I will have to wait til she gets to a bank (the initial deposit I did was sent via Zelle). After that, I received no update. I have sent text messages, DMs and tried to call regarding my deposit and have not received any answers. It has made a week since I last heard from her and now I am out $50. Avoid this “business” by all costs. She will run off with your deposit, cancel on you MINUTES before your appointment and won’t issue you back your deposit even though it was a fault on her end. She also has plenty of unnecessary fees (ex: short hair fee $30, long hair fee $25).

NFRC Companies (Robert Kravitz) took a $15k fee to make a loan, but I don't believe he ever actually intended to close. The fee was supposed to be for legal, travel, reports, etc..., but nothing was ever done. He just gave me the runaround for months causing a million dollars in damages and refused to return the fee once I realized this was a scam and demanded it back. I thought it only right to warn the public this person is a scam artist and he has no intention or ability to make the loans stated.
