Hoobly
Reviews and Complaints

They are a scam. Originally contacted on Sunday Dec 16th by text. They wanted to be paid via Zelle, promised baby parrot to be shipped next day. Paid them $850 for parrot and $120 shipping. Supposedly used freight company called Royal Air Express, who emailed me with shipping number, then called me to read new email from them. They said bird was in Birmingham, Alabama and that the birds crate was inferior and I needed to buy or rent special crate for $1, 000 to over $3, 000 to get bird. I contacted Paramount and told him I thought that was a scam and he kept wanting me to share the cost, and I said that I paid him for shipping and that was his responsibility. Have not heard back from him or Freight company since Dec 18th, 2018. I suggested he get bird back and refund us or deliver bird. He will not answer calls or texts. Freight company no longer has tracking available for the supposed shipment of the bird to me. So we are out $970.

A "Courtney Tipton" was advertising Pugs for sale. 200 deposit . 400 total. Said she was from Macon. [protected]. Very communicable in the beginning. Good about answering questions and sending pics of pugs. Then she wouldn't answer texts or calls or emails. [protected]@gmail.com. She said the earliest she would let them go was Christmas Eve if a gift. This person needs to be caught. I won't stop until she is. I'll do whatever. I may not get my money or a dog but I just want this person caught. There will be many upset kids at Christmas because of this piece of trash. If she's caught she will be made to give everybody's money back and pay my lawyer. This is ridiculous. I have the add that was posted on here. I have the zelle where the money was sent. I have the emails where she sent pics and said she got the money. I have whatever u need

Hello, when I log into my account I am getting blank pages. I have attempted to log in for the past few days. I see the ads when I google and get hoobly Fl. I am not able to renew the ads and now they are on the 5 th page getting lost. I have also attempted to go into profile and get blank pages. I have attempted to make a new profile and am getting blank pages. This is usually an excellent site for buy and sell items. I have been on the hoobly site for a couple of years and have not experienced this. My puppies are ready for Christmas and no one is able to see them. People usually stop looking after the 3rd page. Thanks

I have been trying for several days to log into my account. I keep getting a error message that page cant br displayed with error code 500. I have sent an email for support with no response from the company.

This is very frustrating. I have puppies that are advertised and ready for Christmas. I had several messages and could not get to them. I may have lost a lot of money and forever homes for these little boys and girls.

Please fix the issue or please at least let your customers know what is going on with the site.

Thank you

I keep getting this error message:

I have deleted cookies, cleared out the cache, used different internet browsers, tried to access Hoobly through my laptop, my desktop, and my android phone, and even registered a new account with a new email to no avail.
I found a pet I really want to purchase and cannot send a message to the seller. Unfortunately, the seller did not post a phone number or web address in their ad.
Can anyone out there please help me contact this seller:

I would be so thankful!

October ad for Pug puppies, $275. in Boerne, TX. Pups not registered which accounted for low price. Texted number [protected]. Quick & kind response with pictures were texted back. After trying to send $100 deposit via Zelle & Google Pay, I finally sent money thru Cash app to "$love2229." Deposit was sent on October 26, 2018 and I have heard nothing else from seller! Tried contacting thru email: [protected]@gmail.com and thru phone: [protected] but have had no response. Be alert to this scam! Name was given as Cortnee!

Upon looking for a puppy to buy, I contacted (aangelho7) phone number [protected] because this clearly stated they had seven puppies. When I contacted them, they had none! They haven't had puppies in a long time, yet their ad is still listed as current. After contacting them, they texted me a e-mail address to text to his so-called co-breeder. The e-mail address for her is [protected]@gmail.com. After contacting her, I was told there were three puppies available. After finding out I had to go to Walmart to pay for it, I was a little skeptical, to say the least. When I asked her to send me a short video of her holding the puppy, she said she didn't know how, and still hasn't had anybody do it for her. Load of crap! She is located in Houston Texas on Rosalind Lane. After Googling her location, I seen it was a house in a tight subdivision and not a kennel at all! I got an e-mail from this woman in Houston the next morning asking when am I gonna pay for it?! True pet breeder do not act like this, I know. I have been around breeders for over 26 years! Watch out for these two hooligans, they will scam you!

On July 27th 2018 I contacted a member via hoobly. The member was shangrilabullies. We contacted her regarding a puppy. We drove an hour and half to meet the puppy and put a deposit down and received a receipt. After putting the deposit down we were told via text the puppy had ran away and that she would refund the deposit. We have tried to get our deposit back but since then she has blocked our number and refuses to give our money back. I have the text messages stating from her that she owes us a refund. I also have, in her hand writing, the receipt for the deposit. I'm reaching out here to try and get some help.
Thank you

I`ve tried everything from trying to open a new account to changing my password. The code to change the pass word is never sent. I get a message that my email address is not listed so you`d think since my email isn`t listed I could register again but no... Then i`m told i`m already listed! This is the second time in 2 months this has happened. This is frustrating to say the least.

In N.H. someone is advertising himilayans, ...mnaresky…..you cannot go and see them in person...and now she is selling short haired persions that are ready to go...but if you contact her...the picture is not legit...and you cannot go and see them..she is not advertising puppies and they are Yorkshires and you cannot see that either...she will not give her address or location...she wants a firm deposit and then has her so called uncle meet you at an undisclosed place that you get at the last minutes to make a final cash transfer...

She is purchasing from other people that are advertising and advertising them before they are hers...and starts collecting money...and she does not want to meet you in person or give out her number...and she says she cannot sent me pics other than the ones she has on the hoobly ad …...Well...I am not seding any money to anyone until I can see what I am getting and want to be able to pic one out not just for looks but also for personality...she is asking a min of 700 to 1000 for these animals

Hi, we have been rabbit breeders for over 14 yrs on our farm. Hoobly website was helpful for less then a year before having problems logging into our account to answer emails or updating listings on breeds. Then on top of it we requested password resets 4 times as well as emailing for help with no change. Our ads are now gone& still locked out of site. We also found out about a viscous false complaint from a very rude woman that wanted something for nothing and has an axe to grind was posted without notice to us or checking it out first. There was no making her happy. She came with an attitude& did not want to listen to any care instruction on rabbits. She knew it all& had rabbits already& has made false claims that Hoobly lets people post without proof.
We are contacting the hundreds of in state and out of state happy, repeat rabbit buyers we have had& asking them their oppion of this false complaint& if they are as apauledas we are to please post their own comment. We have had a few text us back that they have taken the time already this morning to add their comment due to the ridiculous claims of this woman. Now they have texted back an hour later. They are still waiting to see their positive comments on being at our rabbitry& our rabbits they purchased to be posted . The internet is a cowardly way to be a bully& very unfair to try & fight back against& dirty a hard working person. We greatly appreciate all the buyers we have had & that keep intouch& come back with their kids& families. As well as all who keep sending us the pictures & videos of the rabbits as they grow& learn. We will be posting on other sites. Alot of breeders have been telling me they have had similar bad experiences with Hoobly also for last few years.

User name momeof3boys is a fruad. She is scamming people, taking money with no puppies in return. I know many people who have tried to get puppies, sent money and have recived nothing in return. I do not think it is right that she is basically stealing from innocent people that just trying to rehome a puppy. Please help resolve this problem. Thank you.

Called this # after seeing the ads and some of my questions were regarding the health conditions screenings, whether they have chronic eye problems (because a TON of the photos she's showing they have very tear-stained fur and possibly irritated looking eyes). She seemed almost like she had to think about the answers she was giving and said it in a way that was trying to make me believe her. But when someone does that you DONT believe them. Not if you really know how to read people. I found it very fishy and uneducated sounding the minute she answered the first question. And she NEVER answered my questions regarding some of the following:

Breathing problems
Cherry eye
Entropion (abnormal eyelid)
Progressive retinal atrophy
Feline hyperesthesia syndrome (nervous system condition)
Polycystic kidney disease
Seborrhea oleosa (skin condition)

They can be very prone to these conditions but with good breeding any breeder should be breeding to minimize or possibly eradicate some of these conditions from their cats and they should be able to straight away answer questions about it. So...I told her I was NOT interested and I changed my mind after all. So what does she do? Keep trying to call my number! Seriously. I've had several phone calls within the past 2 days. NOT HAPPY. I simply don't answer it. And I noticed how she never leaves a message. BEWARE OF SHADY SELLERS ON HOOBLY
