Recycler - Scammer
Purchased a puppy from an ad, and met with the person. They had advised that the puppy was vaccinated and dewormed and there would be a 60 day health warranty. Met the person selling and he had the puppy and said to send me my email so he can send the vaccination paperwork and the health warranty. The person sold me the puppy, took my money and never gave me any paperwork. After several texts he said that the puppy wasnt actually vaccinated. The dog had worms, was around my other dog and I had to take her to the vet to get vaccines and treatment. Recycler offers no mediation which is absolutely ridiculous. Do not buy from here and do not trust the sellers on here. The ad is still up from this seller. User's recommendation: Do not use recycler!!!

Sick puppy

I bought a puppy Maltipoo last Sunday 10/24 and 3 days later the poor dog is sick and we were told he has parvo. This is heartbreaking for my kids. Hes dying in front of our eyes . I dont know what to do because its 1,000 of dollars to treat. The puppy was taken care of properly under my care. Im just so disappointed and heartbroken

Was to pick puppy up on Monday, but the mother died in Eureka Ca. Wanted to ship the dog that was in Los Ang now was in Eureka , we could come pick the puppy up , or they would ship the puppy for a fee. Ask for deposit back, never heard from again .

Pet scam

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
I have been looking for pets and most of the shelters were closed due to COVID-19. Then I found this website. I have contacted 5 sellers and chose this scammer. Actually all of 5 sellers said same story. They first ask my location instead of telling their location. And then, they chose any city that is far from me where it is too far for me to drive. Then they offer free delivery and asking for deposit. One of seller that I chose ask for $300, and I paid via Zelle. I thought Zelle is pretty secure, but I called Chase, and it cannot dispute because seller already accepted my pay. Anyway the seller said he will use pet delivery service and was expected to receive kittens. On delivery day, the delivery guy called and said there is problem with crate and I need to pay extra for ventilated crate for long ride. At that time I knew that it was scam. After I lost $300, I contacted 10 other sellers from same website, they all said same story. So far 25 sellers from recyclers are scammer!!! Unbelievable!! Never going to use this site again!!

It is a Scam

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
Tried purchasing a puppy and this email lucyjames1002@***.com And phone number 213.471.7683 is a scam. The individual asked these questions below. 1-Are you a breeder? 2-Are you familiar with this breed?? 3-Do you have kids? 4-Do you have a Vet Doctor? It seemed legit, but nope. After the individual wanted a deposit. When it was time to meet Of course they were not available but would send a runner but first you have to pay before they send the runner. Yah that's not happening. The individual acted very offensive. Below are the text messages a d proof of zelle payment. Even when trying to report is an issue with the website by clicking the links it did not let me. So I went to contact us link and sent an email. I havent heard back from them . It's a scam don't purchase any pet from this website. The emails are not legit they only want to take your money. techmaching@***.com Jayfino22@***.com

I have been trying to purchase a small dog between the age of 3yrs to 6 yrs instead of a puppy an went on craigs list and Recycler to see if I could find the breed I want through breeders or rehoming. During the 6 months I have been trying I have come across many scammers but have not been taken for any money as I let them know I want delivery of the dog then will pay by cash or cashiers check when the dog is in my hands.

I never hear from them again and it is usually by email. I have one right now that is from Los Altos called best puppiesforhomes.org. that I asked for delivery first and now I have not heard from him. apparently he has this web site and access to many breeders as he is selling all different breeds of puppies.

He also said in an email he can get me a dog of the breed I want. I have been hoping he is not a scammer as I really want a dog for company but just being cautious of who I am dealing with.

I found a cute puppy( Morkie) after many texted with the owner, asked me to send him money for deposit paperwork to get off an advertisement on this site though Cash app $250. The puppy was $500, so I did not send the money. I knew right away he was a puppy scam. Do not send any money until you get the puppy. His phone number is 415-409-****
