Alert
On May 3, 2021, Better
Business Bureau was alerted to an online shipping company operating as Imperial
Shipping Line, https://imperialshippingline.com/, in Denver, Colorado 80202. A consumer, the
victim of a puppy scam, was directed by a fake breeder to use Imperial Shipping
Line for the purpose of safely shipping a puppy to them. The consumer alleges
Imperial Shipping Line charged them fraudulent fees before the consumer
realized they were being scammed. The consumer further reported Imperial
Shipping Line promised to return the money, but disconnected their phone number
shortly thereafter.
The Colorado Secretary of
State reports Imperial Shipping Line is not a licensed business in Colorado.
On May 6, 2021 and May 19,
2021, BBB reached out to Imperial Shipping Line regarding the consumer
complaint, but to date has not received a response.
BBB would like to remind
consumers to refrain from purchasing puppies and other pets online as this is one
of the most common scams reported to BBB. Consumers should seek a local breeder
or seller where they can visit the home or facility, inspect the animal to be
purchased, review local veterinarian records, and confirm business license
information if it is required.
Complaints can be filed with
Better Business Bureau at www.bbb.org as well as with the
Federal Trade Commission Consumer Protection at https://reportfraud.ftc.gov/#/.
