YES THIS WEBSITE IS A SCAM!!! BEWARE AND DO NOT SEND ANY MONEY!

We were about to get taken, but these were the red flags:

1.) The price of $750 to $800 was too low. Never seen purebred GRs for less than $2500, and the cost of transportation is ridiculous. It cost us $300 just to ship our bird when we moved cross country, so $50, coupon or not, is not realistic.
2.) The availability of the puppies never change. We have been looking for breeders, and the majority of the legit ones are waitlisted. But here, the puppies are all available.
3.) We asked for Facetime, Zoom or some other live way to see the puppy we were supposed to buy. They first sent us a video, and when we insisted on live, they flat out refused. That was what convinced us.
4.) Other discrepancies... they say they've been breeding since the 1990's.. website was just made in 2020. Not registered as a business in Norton, VA.

None of these pet scammers are actually located in the USA even though many of them say they are. The majority of them are located in Cameroon and South Africa. All the pet photos that they send out or use on their scam websites are stolen and fake. So these pet scammers aren't selling any real pets at all.

These are all what's known as "non-delivery" purchase scams and many of these pet scammers will also introduce you to a second fraudulent shipping company website if you agree to buy one of their fictitious pets. If you want to learn more about how purchasing scams work then please click here.

We also have a list of close to 100 of these fake pet purchasing websites here and all of them on the list are just scams too.
