This review was chosen algorithmically as the most valued customer feedback.

I signed up in May of 2006 with a free account. I kept getting messages that there were people trying to contact me with information about Pekingeses to sell. However, I couldn't see their information until I paid the $14.95. Once I paid the $14.95 I tried to contact those who had apparently tried to contact me and they never replied. I kept trying to seek out other puppies and the ads were so old that the puppies were always gone or the people never responded.

By this time, I gave up and went to another website where I was successful in finding our new puppy. The name of that website is puppyfind.com. They were wonderful to work with. Out new puppy is healthy, beautiful and so much fun. I would definitely use them again. I paid a fee and once the fee expired - they did not charge me again. It was up to me to re-apply. The way you expect it to work.

PetsUnlimited never ever contacted me again after I paid the money to advise me about other puppies being available. Since I had already gone to another website I totally forgot about them. Then I suddenly remembered when I saw that they had charged me again for $14.95. I tried to contact them, but all you get is the recorded message. I went to the website and they do have a statement at the bottom of their "faqs" page that if you do not cancel they will continue to bill you.

I strongly advise you to NOT use this website. I was enticed to spend the money to join if I wanted to respond to the scam e-mails, and once I did I could never contact them. Then they had the audacity to charge me again. It does say in the "faqs" that if they charge you that they will not give you a refund. Too bad for me to learn the hard way! I am obviously not the only one. I hope more people post their experiences and warn other people to NOT fall into the same trap.

I hope this helps.

Update on my previous statement.

Just want to let you know that I filed a complaint with my credit card company. I had to provide documentation - but they credited my account. Maybe you can do the same.

Good Luck - Kathy.

I have had a very similar experience with petsunlimited.com. This company will continue to make unauthorized charges against your account even after you have canceled your subscription--that is exactly what they have done to me and it's impossible to contact them by telephone. Apparently they are based in Reston, Virginia. I will be filing a complaint with the Viriginia Attorney General's office and the Better Business Bureau tomorrow.

I had a very similar issue with them. I signed up for a basic account 04/2006 and cancelled my account 06/2006, after I had found the dog I wanted. I continued to get charged up until05/2007 at $5.95/month. I wrote them several times explaining the situation and I didn't get one response. I reported them to the BBB, but I don't know if it will get any where. The thing that irritated me the most was that no one responded. And the damn phone number just goes to computer answering service. Anyways, atleast they aren't charging me anymore.

In order for scams to work, there are others being paid to look the other way.

Oh my god...just got off of a HEATED email exchange w/ a "Jason" in customer service. Aside from the fact that I was pissed, there was no # to call...but like many of you above, my ONE TIME membership fee of $14.95 last year turned into $5.95 a month starting in July 07. It's so bogus and outrageous, that I thought i would automatically receive a refund.

However, he only would refund one payment and told they me to basically buzz off and read the fine print. When I told him that no email was ever sent to me indicating a change in membership or payment, he wrote and I quote "where is it written in stone that we have to send emails about it?"

Honestly, I couldn't believe he had the gall to write that in the im exchange. Now I'm really really irritated. I don't live in whatever state this company resides, but i will send complaints to the BBB and the Attorney's General office. BEWARE of this company!

There are two different pets unlimited. One is a legit org, the other goes by PetsUnlimited.com to confuse people, the first has no capitol letters, it is the latter where they tried to scam me.

PetsUnlimited tried to call me again. I at one time had their phone number but was too stupid to write it down. it is an overseas number starting with 000.

There are two petsunlimited.coms, the latter with the capital letters in it is the one scamming. I have no clue as to the other...

AMEN! These people are scammers from the word go! I got absolutely nothing from them even though they kept claiming they had interested people in my cats, I GOT NOTTA after I paid the $9.95 I had to cancel my debit card to stop the billing! I tried e-mailing phoning and canceled like 3 times, and still kept getting billed! THEY ARE A NIGHTMARE! Don't deal with this company!

I AGREE with EVERYONE, this company is a big stupid joke! I "subscribed" 3 years ago as I was looking for a dog. We found one at a local rescue place instead but had to give her to friends 4 months later because my daughter was allergic. I have tried to "UNSUBSCRIBE" to their emails for over 2 years and it doesn't work! I am so pissed off and frustrated by these jerks and there is NO PHONE NUMBER!
I wonder if they can be sued over something like this. I would hate to go to the trouble but it's the principle!

To make a long story short I bought sick fish from them. They started dying on day 2. Would not give refund or replace fish. They avoided me, had no desire to help, and basically told me to get the hell out of their store. They were not interested in customer service. Took my money and didn't mind telling me I would not be getting it back. Worst customer service I have EVER received in my life! I will never go to their store again.
