Business ProfileforSam Aussies

In April 2019, BBB attempted to contact Sam Aussies (http://14075.8b.io) after receiving complaints alleging that consumers paid $750-$800, and additional $1,490 in “insurance” for Australian Shepherd puppies.  Consumers had no further contact from the business and did not receive the advertised puppies.

BBB asked Sam Aussies to provide basic information including its physical address, a working telephone number, names & contact information of responsible management, verification of state and/or federal licensure to breed and/or transport pets, and a completed BBB Standard Business Questionnaire.  BBB also requested references with full contact information for at least ten (10) U.S. consumers who had successfully purchased pets as a result of its services.  Additionally, BBB requested substantiation of guarantees and testimonials posted on the Sam Aussies website.  The results of that inquiry are reported in the Advertising Review section on this Business Profile.

As of April 11, 2019, BBB had received no response from Sam Aussies.  Registry information shows that the website originates from a private domain provider; no location can be determined.  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 nonexistent.

BBB has reason to believe that Sam Aussies 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 Sam Aussies or any related websites.
