Current Alerts For This Business
Specifically, consumers alleged the business is not real and does not actually provide Dobermans as advertised online. The submission also alleged that the business has copied consumer testimonials from other websites, and advertises them as their own.
BBB requested that the business substantiate, modify, or discontinue consumer testimonials unless they are provably past customers of Pure Dobermans.
On March 10, 2020, BBB received a response to our inquiry from a homeowner at the address in question. The homeowner indicated that they had no knowledge of the alleged puppy scheme, and had never heard of the individual mentioned in Scam Tracker submissions, Thabo Bandile.
The BBB Code of Advertising states that, "The primary responsibility for truthful and non-deceptive advertising rests with the advertiser. Advertisers should be prepared to substantiate any claims or offers made before publication or broadcast and, upon request, present such substantiation promptly to the advertising medium or the Better Business Bureau."
The BBB Code of Advertising states that, "In general, advertising which uses testimonials or endorsements is likely to mislead or confuse if:
30.1.1 It is not genuine and does not actually represent the current opinion of the endorser;
30.1.3 It contains representations or statements which would be misleading if made directly by the advertiser;
30.1.5 The endorser has not been a bona fide user of the endorsed product or service at the time when the endorsement was given, where the advertiser represents that the endorser uses the product or service;
30.1.10 The advertiser represents, directly or by implication, that the endorser is an 'actual consumer' when such is not the case and the advertisement fails to clearly and conspicuously disclose that fact;"
As of March 16, 2020, the business has failed to respond to BBB's requests.
