    The BBB Code of Advertising States:

    1. Basic Principles of the Code

    1.1 The primary responsibility for truthful and non-deceptive advertising rests with the advertiser. Advertisers should be prepared to substantiate any objective claims or offers made before publication or broadcast. Upon request, they should present such substantiation promptly to the advertising medium or BBB.

    1.2 Advertisements which are untrue, misleading, deceptive, fraudulent, falsely disparaging of competitors, or insincere offers to sell, shall not be used.

    1.3 An advertisement as a whole may be misleading by implication, although every sentence separately considered may be literally true.

    1.4 Misrepresentation may result not only from direct statements, but by omitting or obscuring a material fact.

     

    20. Warranties or Guarantees

    20.1 When using the term “warranty” or “guarantee” in product advertising, the advertiser must clearly and conspicuously include a statement that the complete details of the warranty can be seen prior to sale at the advertiser's location, viewed on the advertiser’s website or, in the case of mail or telephone order sales, made available free on written request.

    20.2 Advertisers should only use “satisfaction guarantee,” “money back guarantee,” “free trial offer,” or similar representations in advertising if the seller or manufacturer refunds the full purchase price of the advertised product or service at the consumer's request.

    20.3 When “satisfaction guarantee” or similar representations are used in advertising, any material limitations or conditions that apply to the guarantee must be clearly and conspicuously disclosed.

    20.4 When advertising “lifetime” warranties or guarantees or similar representations, the advertisement must clearly and conspicuously disclose its intended meaning of the term “lifetime.”

    20.5 Sellers or manufacturers should advertise that a product or service is warranted or guaranteed only if the seller or manufacturer promptly and fully performs its obligations under the warranty or guarantee.

     

    30. Testimonials and Endorsements

    30.1 In general, advertising which uses testimonials or endorsements is likely to mislead or confuse if:

    30.1.1 It is not genuine and does not actually represent the current opinion of the endorser;

    30.1.2 The actual wording of the testimonial or endorsement has been altered in such a way as to change its overall meaning and impact;

    30.1.3 It contains representations or statements which would be misleading if made directly by the advertiser;

    30.1.4 While literally true, it creates deceptive implications;

    30.1.5 The endorser has not been a bona fide user of the endorsed product or service at the time when the endorsement was given, where the advertiser represents that the endorser uses the product or service;

    30.1.6 It is not clearly stated that the endorser, associated with some well-known and highly-regarded institution, is speaking only in a personal capacity, and not on behalf of such an institution, if such be the fact;

    30.1.7 The advertising makes broad claims as to the endorsements or approval by indefinitely large or vague groups, for example, “the homeowners of America,” “the doctors of America;”

    30.1.8 The endorser has a financial interest in the company whose product or service is endorsed and this is not made known in the advertisement;

    30.1.9 An expert endorser does not possess the qualifications that give the endorser the expertise represented in the advertisement;

    30.1.10 The advertiser represents, directly or by implication, that the endorser is an “actual consumer” when such is not the case and the advertisement fails to clearly and conspicuously disclose that fact;

    30.1.11 A consumer’s experience represented in an advertisement is not the typical experience of those using the product or service, unless the advertisement clearly and conspicuously discloses what the expected results will be;

    30.1.12 Endorsements placed by advertisers in online blogs or on other third-party websites do not clearly and conspicuously disclose the connection to the advertiser and comply with each of the provisions in this Code; and

    30.1.13 Advertisers compensate consumers for leaving feedback on third-party online blogs or websites but fail to ensure that consumers disclose such facts on those blogs or websites.

    In the U.S., advertisers should consult the Federal Trade Commission Guides on Testimonials and Endorsements for detailed guidance. In Canada, advertisers should review the Competition Bureau’s publication on Untrue, Misleading or Unauthorized Use of Tests and Testimonials for specific guidance.

    As of 6/11/2024, business has not responded to BBB emails or substantiated claims.

    I too was a victim of these ppl. I paid $800 for the cost of a pup + shipping. I know I was an easy target cz I wanted the pup for my son who had just lost his bully. I thought it was strange the breeder didnt talk to me, & there were a **** of other red flags, but again, I was so excited to be doing something to help my son.The next day, the shipper requested $970 for a special temp.-controlled crate. I was to be refunded all but $30 upon delivery of puppy. I asked the breeder who said they didnt approve their crate, so I needed to do it to start process of pups delivery. I sent $ thru Apple Pay on my debit card.Again, I had questions when amounts wouldnt go though & I brought this up to seller telling him Im on social security & have been scammed before. He texted back & was very offended that I would question his ********************** next day, I was contacted again by the shipper telling me that everything was good to go, except their vet requested a COVID Scan of the puppy. This would cost me $905 which had to be paid ASAP!I said, Absolutely not! I then recd. a call from the shipper telling me I needed to do it, & I told him I picked up a puppy a few mths. ago in W V & brought her back to ** in a soft crate in the plane with me & paid $150. I only had to show her health cert. & shot record. He hung up on me & sent me an e-mail telling me if I didnt do it that Id be charged with puppy abandonment & would either be fined or go to jail.I sent a copy of this to breeder, & ******** wife offered to pay $300 towards the $905. Thats the last Ive heard from either of them!I called the shipper listed, & she told me that it wasnt them & that Id been scammed.I went to my bank, & Im out that $1250 from my debit card. The other part Ill try to recoup from my credit card, but I doubt Ill get it back. I dont see how this guy can continue to operate if we all have these complaints.I guess ppl. like that have no moral character whatsoever!
