Doodle Breeders need YOUR help to stop scammers!

[April Cliber]

I'm sure some of you have seen the scam Facebook pages selling Labradoodle and Goldendoodle puppies.  They are taking pictures from legit breeders websites and using them to get people to send in money.  Several pages were shut down last week but more have been opened this week. Breeders are beyond furious that their photos are being used to lure in unsuspecting people.  

Here is how you can help!

Below are two links we know to be fraudulent.  Post a review stating they are a scam and the photos are stolen. Under each person who has requested information, tell the person this is a scam. Report the page/picture to Facebook. If we can get a hundred people to do this it will, at the very least, warn others and hopefully get the page shut down quickly.  This is an international problem and we know we can't stop it completely.  We can bring awareness though, and that's where you can help! 

The puppy in the car on this page is mine.  I took the picture 4 or 5 years ago.

This is beyond a nightmare for the unsuspecting people that want them and send in money, and the breeders whose photos are being stolen. I hope they all get shut down and charged soon.

I think this is them too.  I know they had (maybe still have) a bulldog page as well. :(

They have tons of FB pages. Here's another one:

And they have every breed. "Rottweiler Puppies for Sale", "You-name-the-breed For Sale". It's like the FB version of the old "Purebred Breeders LLC" internet puppy mill.

I went on as soon as I saw your post. I was allowed to make comments and to report the page  The second link - I was able to report the page but I was already blocked from posting.  I posted on my FB page, so hopefully more people will share and report.
