I text "2different" people about puppies they had listed for sale. I receivd the first response from the first number and they told me that they moved to Utah from PA with the puppies and would ship at no additional charge. They sent about 10 pics of the puppies in the email.

Then I received a text from the 2nd person who had puppies for sale. This was from a different number and a different email, but the same "story", that they had moved to Utah from Pa and they sent the same exact pics of the puppies as the first person had sent.

OOdle seems to have nothing but scammers on that websie... sad!

When looking for a used car, nearly every one I was interested in turned out to be a fake copied from a real ad from some other site.

Oodle claims to be a site where you can list, among many things, puppies that you want to sell. I attempted to list 3 beautiful, healthy, female Australian Shepherd-mix/Feist puppies. These puppies were born in one of the bedrooms in my home, have received dewormings and age appropriate vaccinations. They're 14 weeks old presently, and are happy and very friendly and parasite free. They're doing well with housebreak training and learning to Sit. My price was $400.00. (Was it because I had a reasonable price, instead of thousands?). I live in Detroit, MI. This info was put in my listing, as was the fact that I would send prospective buyers a short questionnaire in an attempt to find the best home for the puppies. My listing was flagged and removed, before it was ever posted - on 2 occasions, using two different email addresses. Owners of puppies from 2 previous litters still continue to rave about the puppies they adopted. I asked for info from Oodle as to the reason my listing was removed, and got no response. My account was suspended as well, for no reason. If Oodle doesn't want individuals selling puppies on the site, they should just remove that option. I don't really appreciate the site trying to tell me my listing was a scam.

DO NOT BUT ANY ANIMALS FROM THIS SIGHT! I purchased a dog for 500$ they made me purchase a reload it card where i put the money on the man on the phone told me he was at the airport and needed the security code on the reload it card in order for him to buy his and the puppies plane tickets as soon as i gave him the security code he with drew all the money and they called me back saying he needed an extra 900$ in order for him to insure the dog so it can fly. At this time i have lost it with him telling him i want my money back and im going to go to the police, he must have had a pre-paid phone because he shut the phone off and i was lost out of 500$.

I contacted yesterday a listing that said Allentown PA yorkie puppy. I got a call back and all of the sudden they had just moved to IOWA for a new job and needed to get the puppies a home urgently because they cannot have then in their new place. Never mind that fact that I culd hardly understand the gentleman he had a very heavy accent. RED RED RED RED FLAG, I will mail it can you get it right away. REALLY yes and I would like to trade the Brooklyn Bridge for the puppy. Can we talk NOT

SCAMMM
October 12, 2016

I contacted that person to buy his puppy through the phone number post on the link.
On the link it said $400. But when I texted him he said $100 for shipping. And I'm okay with it. The next day, he send me back with a document of exchange ownership, and I think I can trust him because he even did the exchange ownership, and sending me informations about the puppies. I sent him money through Moneygram, he get the money. And 2 hours later, he texted me back saying there is some problems with shipping, and want me to pay for $480 because of shipping company require. But they will refund the money once I get the puppy.
I feel something goes wrong, because we were both agreed with $400+$100 shipping. And now he said there is problems with shipping. So I asked if he won't able to ship the puppy then return the money. He said he will fly to Hawaii, and he can't return the money. So I told him I will report it to the police, because I have phone#, Name, address, photo of our conversation and the document that he made.
He called me back and ask to give him time. I saying that I will give him 2 days to ship the puppy. He said ok. And 2 days later, I text him. I was so mad when he text "do you want money or the puppy". I asked him again where is my puppy, he didn't reply my text until.
So you guys, I strong recommend you guys should NOT buy anything from this sites.

YOU NEVER BUY AN ANIMAL ON THESE SITES. YOU GO TO THE SHELTERS AND SAVE A LIFE OR RESCUES. ALL THESE SITES SHOULD NOT ALLOW PEOPLE TO PUT ADS IT SHOULD BE BANNED. ALL OUR ANIMALS AND PETS NEED TO BE PROTECTED FROM MURDERERS. THEY ARE RIGHT NOT TO ALLOW AND SHOULD BE BANNED.

Sellers are all scams
March 14, 2016

Every time I would inquire about a dog, it would turn into a scam relationship. This should be removed from the internet and make people more aware of how this works! How terrible and disapointing.

*******738-email *******@gmail.com is a complete scam! Saw an add for French bulldog puppies $400 and inquired about it. After, few hours got a response asking for my email so they could send me pictures and choose which puppy is like and a short questionnaire asking common questions any adopter would ask, after going through that process they said they would be willing to send me the puppy I chose. Everyrhing seemed legit until I looked up reviews for the website and realized that the link to the woman said she was located in mass, but her phone number area code said las Vegas and she told me she lived in texas. And the link to her profile was someone living in Tennessee. After a short while she sent me a text message saying I would have to pay via money gram and I didn't respond right away and then she proceeded to send me?. After I asked just to be safe send me a picture of you and said puppy so i know this is not a scam she responded with "my phone is no good and can not send pictures". I then then told her to call me so we could talk personally and discuss what to do if I was being rude and accusing her of being a fraud. No response. Clearly not legit... she told me she had puppies because her mother had passed and she couldnt keep them.

If I could rate this site NEGATIVE ONE THOUSAND I would! I responded to an ad that had Maltese puppies for sale in Decatur, Ill. Bottom line is that it was a wretched heart breaking experience. I strongly suspect that the Peoria ad for the same breed of pups is bad.
