Dear Pet Lovers,
Last night we received a disturbing call from Christie in Tampa who has been receiving emails about the shipment of a puppy that was basically being held hostage “at our agency” directing her to send money for the release of the pet. The email claimed to be from “pet-air-international” coming from the email pet-air-interantional@fastmail.com and referred to our website as their own. The email went on to explain that their customer service phones were down, and release of the pet was conditional upon payment of $120, which should be sent by money order, addressed to a Rojelio Madonado in Diamond Bar, California. Because of the recession, credit card processing was taking 3 days to verify.
Just by reading the above, you can tell this is a terrible scam attempted on unsuspecting people.
PET AIRWAYS IS IN NO WAY RELATED TO THIS ENTITY.
All our flights are paid in advance by credit card and processed immediately, or there is no reservation made and no pet accepted.
We are investigating how to stop these people from pretending to be Pet Airways.
If you receive an email like this or any other suspicious emails from people claiming to be Pet Airways, please contact us by phone, email, Twitter, or Facebook.
Thanks,
Dan Wiesel
President/CEO
Pet Airways.
