Current Alerts For This Business
In February 2018, BBB attempted to contact County Maltese Pups (countymaltesepups.com) after receiving a complaint alleging that a consumer paid $550 for a Maltese puppy. The consumer had no further contact from the business and did not receive the puppy nor the refund requested in their complaint to BBB. The same consumer paid an additional $1,560 in “insurance” and crate costs to a pet transportation website – believe to be a scam by BBB.
BBB asked County Maltese Pups to provide basic information including its physical address, a working telephone number, names & contact information of responsible management, and verification of state and/or federal licensure to breed and/or transport pets. BBB also requested references with full contact information for at least ten (10) U.S. consumers who have made successful pet purchases via the website. Additionally, BBB requested substantiation of guarantee claims made on the countymaltesepups.com website. The results of that inquiry are reported in the Advertising Review section on this Business Profile.
As of February 9, 2018, BBB had received no response from County Maltese Pups. Registry information for the website shows that it originates in Cameroon. BBB has not been able to locate information connecting the website to any corporation or other entity in the United States and the Richmond, Virginia address used is fictitious.
BBB has reason to believe that countymaltesepups.com is a fraudulent website with connections to pet transportation scams. BBB urges consumers to use extreme caution before making a purchase or sharing any other information with County Maltese Pups or any related websites.
