Every person I talked to about a puppy was so fake they had multiple pics and were the same. They should have atleast got together on what pics to put up. I would call or text and they said they wanted to send it to my house. All the numbers they give you are no where near where they are listed to be. Total scam hate the website is even up still!

A scammer posing as a divorced women is trying to sell a museum quality 1930 Harley for $3600. 00. I live an 40 min. From where they said the bike was located, did not want cash. They wanted my personal info to start a free shipping process through an off shore shipping company from India. Again tried to set up a meeting, but was told the bike was now in the hands of the shipping company waiting for my info so they could send me the bike, and no money would be exchanged till I drove it, took it to a mechanic for inspection, etc. etc... RIGHT!

DON'T Do It!
April 17, 2015

Just like many other reviews I see here, I had the same experience. Every pet I inquired on was a scam. They said text and it wasn't a number from the area they posted to be from. Once I texted, they said to email them and the response was pretty much the same... some long line of garbage and they had been relocated and we're only charging a delivery fee... I sent in reports to the website and nothing. So disappointing that you can't even find a puppy due to all these low life scammers!

I was looking for a 1966 Mustang when I came across this site. The car I found was listed on the website for three thousand dollars when this car would easily get forty thousand with all the work that was done on it. I then started looking at adds for different cars and noticed the price's were all to good to believe. I hit the little tab that said I believe pro seller or something to that nature and low and behold the truck I was just looking at showed up in front of the same red fence but each picture had a different location were the car was able to be picked up from. So glad I looked them up on line before I made a huge mistake.

Scam and fraud here
July 15, 2014

Scam and fraud here. I found a motorcycle with a price that too good to be true. Seller said to send money and they would then pay to have it shipped to me. I reported this through the sites supposedly fraud page. The listing is still up. Makes me wonder with all the scam and fraud complaints that this whole website may be a scam!

They will tell you anything to convince you. Nvr wire money to anyone online. This person even went to the extent of saying that her daughter died and she can't take care of the puppies. It's all a lie. They got $600 out of me and I'll never get it back, I even went to the police... They know how to take advantage of people looking for a Good deal

Puppy Scams
June 11, 2015

Do not purchase a puppy from anyone with the phone number *******939. Terrible awful people. Puppy mill. Paid $650.00 cash for a beautiful chihuahua puppy in June. She lived less than 5 days after I got her home. I have a four year old 3.4lb male chihuahua so I am experienced with the breed. My vet says she had a congenital brain disorder. "Breeder " told me he sold me a healthy puppy that I killed. She died at my vets home. I was out a lot of money and a broken heart. Please be careful who you buy a puppy from. My "breeder" was from Alabama and offers to meet people in Pensacol to sell puppies. He sells without regard to Florida law.

SCAMMER Site!
July 15, 2015

This whole site is a scam! I responded to 6 ads for puppies and all 6 were scams! This site needs to come down! Does anyone know how to make that happen? I am not out any money as I recognized them as scams, but many people have been scammed out of money and it is devastating when you think you have found what you are looking for and it proves to be false advertising.

Obviously fake...
December 5, 2015

My texting conversation with them:

Me: hi, I was wondering if you still had puppies available.

Oodle: I will be using a delivery agency to send the puppy over to you and they are going to use just about 5-6 hours to deliver the puppy at your home.

Me: I would like to pay for the dog once I meet it not before its delivered. Is that possible?

Oodle: Hello is the delivery agency that will give you their method of payment because you are paying the money directly to them.

Me: Hey dumbass want to see me shove your bull$#*! dog up your $#*!?

Oodle: we need your full names...? Your state...? Your city...? Your postal code...? Your telephone number...? Your home address...? And the nearest airport to your location...?

Are you kidding me?
March 14, 2016

So our dog passed away a year ago and were finally ready to get a new one. I never seen a Cavalier King Charles puppy for only $400 so I was super excited when I stumbled upon the ad... I message the person and found out that they actually did not live in my area but Salt Lake City Utah. They sent me a sob story about the mother dying And they couldn't care for her pets anymore blah blah blah. I was thinking " oh how terrible". Well much to my surprise I received the same exact email Word for Word about the bengle kitty I was also interested in. And when I asked them about it they acted like they didn't know what I was talking about... I should've known that it was too good to be true I'm just mad that I wasted my time... Do Not order from this site. ( unless the people are local and you can check it out in person first) thank goodness I didn't send them any money LOL. I wish I could post screenshots along with this review.

Pitiful
July 3, 2016

My add was immediately flagged. When I tried to contact the website's support system, I was not replied to. They "no longer provide telephone support," and I wonder if that is because of the clear problems that they have. I was completely dissatisfied.

Listed some stuff on Craigslist and had no problems. Thought I would look for other sites and found Oodle. What a waste of time. Same listing I used on CL got flagged as a scam. Tried again with different text but then my account was closed for TOS violation. All within 5 minutes of me signing up!

Appears countless times under countless names from countless cities around the US mostly scamming the sale of puppies and other pets. Oodle does not have the scruples nor the desire to scrutinize these fraudulent adds and should be held accountable. If Oodle and other unregulated sites continue to evolve and as terrorism has become a number one American priority it would behoove the US government to pay close attention to sites like this.

Complete scam!
January 29, 2015

Complete scam! I tried buying a German shepherd puppy and they told me to send a money gram and they will send the dog. Then continued asking for more money saying they need it for crates, insurance. Never got the puppy. Never would buy anything from them. Especially for the one for $500 puppy.

SCAM
August 16, 2015

One seller stated in they were selling in the Costa Mesa area which I live in and the other a city nearby. Once I texted, both replied asking for my email. I received a long detailed message on the puppy's "facts" and a story on how they are now located in Maryland because their mom had passed away and they were selling them so they wouldn't remind the family of her. I was stupid enough to actually believe the story. A few minutes later I received an email of the second seller stating the exact same story of tot mom passing away but they were located in a different state. I was so disappointed! I just wanted a puppy! What a SCAM!

Why are there so many puppy ads with the same number to text for info and different contact names and different states I called one that I was interested in and when I said that we would drive down to pick up never heard anything from them again. They gave me a sad story of daughter dying and no one to take care of puppies so they wanted to transport when I refused they stopped contacting me They are scammers beware of the #*******716v
