I have developed a front page under the domain SIESS RANCH here for all to see who we are, when time permits I will add more information.

3-15-07 Another ad was found on livedeal.com
I actually placed my ads on livedeal this past weekend and the fraudulent ad is using the exact wording from my ad including our name SIESS RANCH (selling the pup for $600) They are not using my photo, it is of a white puppy. Please be cautious!

3-14-07 Today I was notified by another person in the Arizona area about several scams involving telephone fraud using our name SIESS RANCH in one ad. Possibly what they are hoping you will do is call the number listed which is a fraudulent area code and you will get charged $1000's for making the call! You can go to whitepages.com and click on reverse phone numbers and check to see who the carrier of the number is. Also you can check area codes to see if they are out of the country on whitepages.com. Found out that the ads that were placed on arizona classifieds (AZCentral) were placed with stolen credit cards, and the numbers are just random phone numbers, with the hopes of people contacting them by email when they realize the phone number is not valid. I am sure these ads have been removed, but be careful because they can do this sort of thing again anywhere!

Please be very careful when you are checking out ads. If it seems to be to good to be true, pinch yourself and realize people just don't sell these dogs for less the $1000! Please verify everything down to the phone number's given before you place a call or email.

2-21-07 One scam involves our Stud Bulldog Oscar. Ad was spotted in the Phoenix newspaper listing Oscar for $800 and was a Washington State phone number.

9-26-06 I was contacted by another breeder today about an ad that is using Ruddy's Photo and the exact same description I have placed on an ad of mine He is selling Ruddy for $750 Please dont fall for this!

These scammer would not be doing this if they didn't get people to fall for it. It is very hard to catch a scammer. Yes it is
illegal to steal someones photos and represent something for sale but who is going to stop them. Be very careful when you are researching puppies for sale. And please don't send any money without verifing that there is a puppy and you are seeing
the exact photos taken of that puppy. (you have to be able to talk with the breeder who should be the owner of the dogs) It is often suggested to ask for additional photos of the puppy with some sort of identification in the photo such as a paper with your name on it.

I personally recommend you talk with the breeder on the phone, and if they are not giving you the information you need
then don't buy from them. We take photos of our babies each week and have now identified all our photos on the site with our website address. All photos I send will be watermarked in this same way, so that you will know they are our puppies. We don't hire anyone else to sell our puppies as some breeders do. Be cautious in a situation where you are not buying directly from the breeder. For all you know the breeder may be a puppy mill!!

What was really wild about this particular scam is that it even has my watermark, (website name across the front). So if a person is smart they will check out the website and either email or call about the puppy. And if they look a little closer on my website they will see that the price is tremdously different!

This particular scammer has been following my website and if you contact them. they will send you photos that were taken a few weeks ago of the puppy also. I don't have these photos listed on my website anymore but I did a few weeks ago! SINCE THEN WE HAVE PLACED OUR WEBSITE ADDRESS ON EVERY PHOTO ON THE SITE AND IN OUR ADS.

Here are the photos of Ruddy in the scammers ad:

This ad states to send request to maxgwen1967@gmail.com and list his name as Max,
The name and email doesn't matter because this is a free email account that cannot be tracked down and he can change this to something else tomorrow!

Please be careful when you are searching for your little bullie. Always buy from a trusted reputable breeder.
