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!
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. 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
Hello after getting scammed 4 times I finally got my dream pups from Rash Tyler he is a breeder in Charlotte NC and can help you as well. You can reach them on email and also phone *******@gmail.com Tel *******357
I have responded to a dozen ads, notifying on e-mail form that I dont have a text phone, but can e-mail me or call me, I list phone number. Thats as far as it goes, never a reply from anyone. Very disgusted with program, I lost out on many pups I wanted to purchase. Very sad.
Do not purchase a puppy from anyone with the phone number *******939. Terrible awful people. Puppy mill. Paid $650.00 cash for a beautiful chihuahua puppy in June. She lived less than 5 days after I got her home. I have a four year old 3.4lb male chihuahua so I am experienced with the breed. My vet says she had a congenital brain disorder. "Breeder " told me he sold me a healthy puppy that I killed. She died at my vets home. I was out a lot of money and a broken heart. Please be careful who you buy a puppy from. My "breeder" was from Alabama and offers to meet people in Pensacol to sell puppies. He sells without regard to Florida law.
This whole site is a scam! I responded to 6 ads for puppies and all 6 were scams! This site needs to come down! Does anyone know how to make that happen? I am not out any money as I recognized them as scams, but many people have been scammed out of money and it is devastating when you think you have found what you are looking for and it proves to be false advertising.
My texting conversation with them:
Me: hi, I was wondering if you still had puppies available.
Oodle: I will be using a delivery agency to send the puppy over to you and they are going to use just about 5-6 hours to deliver the puppy at your home.
Me: I would like to pay for the dog once I meet it not before its delivered. Is that possible?
Oodle: Hello is the delivery agency that will give you their method of payment because you are paying the money directly to them.
Me: Hey dumbass want to see me shove your bull$#*! 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...?
I am trying to find a certain kind of puppy, I reached out to every person I saw that was near me, however every person that replied back to me, was in a different state
All of them, gave same info, how I only have to pay the shipping fee, etc.
Its so obvious, that all these pple, are fake and just want your money! Please anyone who is considering buying a dog, don't fall for these pple!
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.
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.
I got taken for 800.00 now I see she has new 6 week old puppies posted if you see pug puppies that say slc and taking deposit Her frist numbers on tex is 315-308 she is not in utah her name comes up in tx don't give her anything and she says she using a transportation company for her pet will that company is a trucking company not air lines they just keep stealing money from u I can't wait to take her down wire fraud
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!
WASTE OF TIME...

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! 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.
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
Answer: This is my experience, no need to try to file a complaint, Oodle doesn't answer it. I submitted inquiries with no result. When you submit a complaint you get a ticket number thru email with a promise that Oodle will get back with you in a certain time span. Well it doesn't happen! I would never send money for a pet thru this website due to the fact they will not help you if you are scammed knowing your complaint isn't answered. I legetically listed puppies for adoption. I do no shipping, listed them in my area and do have the pets I'm listing. Good bye Oodle, I've found a website that is legitimate for my listings..
Answer: Don't get a dog in less u can put your hands on it the people hot me just after my dog passed away and I told them about it and myself having cancer as well I will never trust anyone again and they said they was in the same state as me but was out of town seeing family it's all bull shit
Answer: It's a scam. I got ripped off and got the Fbi and secret service involved.
Answer: I really don't know if they are all scams. I have inquired about pugs being at a distance away but just didnt feel comfortable. I even talked to the sellers but just decided to pass on the chance of maybe losing my money. Hope this helps.
Answer: Yeah why is oodle still operating. This is were the government should step in to protect US citizens
Answer: Obviously the scammers are one step ahead of Oodles... The scammers probably email and complain about the legitimate deals, so they have a better chance of being contacted. Oodles needs to have true Animal lover's be in charge of there site.
Answer: This site is a scam - major scam - - don't ever buy from Oodle. Laden with scammers.
Answer: No. But be very careful of what's offered. If it is too good to be true it's a scam. Also, don't wire any money to someone/business you don't know. You will never see again. Credit card or Paypal. If they won't accept them then don't do business with them. You can recover your money from either.
Answer: I agree with you that most of the listings are scams. I wanted to purchase a Macaw or an African Grey and every ad was nothing but false information. I even had one person send me pictures of the birds he was offering. When reading the meta data for the pictures I discovered that the pictures were older than the birds he was selling. I don't understand how this site has not been shut down because of the amount of misinformation and downright criminal acts that it allows.
