PuppyFind.com is over run with fraudulent advertising, stolen photographs and wire transfer fraud ads.
It's difficult to estimate how many of the ads on puppy find are even real, when close to 90% of the currently advertised French Bulldogs for sale feature photographs that were stolen from the websites of legitimate breeders, in direct violation of copyright law, or feature dogs which are not even French Bulldogs.
A recent scan of their site showed the following breeds being advertised as French Bulldogs:
- Mastiffs
- Great Danes
- Boxers
- Pugs
- (English) Bulldogs
- Great Pyrenese
- Cavalier Spaniels
- AmStaffs
- various mixed breeds
It's blatantly obvious that puppy find does absolutely NOTHING to attempt to verify the legitimacy of the ads featured on their site.
A recent rash of photos stolen from French Bulldogs, and reported to Puppy Find support, received slow, indifferent, unapologetic response. If and when fraudulent photos were finally removed, they simply re-appear in a new state, with a new puppy name attached.
Page after page of reports on this web site, in various media outlets, and in newspapers can confirm that Puppy Find is a virtual cesspool of fraudulent ads, stolen photos, scam artists, and perpetrators of criminal fraud.
Puppy Find administration cares for nothing except their ad revenue and their search engine placement. Don't reward them for their slack ethics by using their website, and if you DO find stolen photos, make SURE to contact their support team, as many times as it takes.
Attempting to purchase a puppy via this website is foolish, dangerous and will almost inevitably end in YOUR being the next person to file a 'rip off report' of your own.
