National breaking news Man charged over puppy fraud

POLICE have charged a Gold Coast man who allegedly scammed $100,000 out of potential buyers for pure-bred British bulldog pups.

Police allege the man ripped off dozens of customers, none of whom ever saw the pups they ordered online or got refunds for deposits of thousands of dollars.

The 41-year-old from Pacific Pines was arrested on Wednesday after an investigation by Coomera detectives into complaints from around Australia and overseas.

The man is due to appear in the Southport Magistrates Court on September 28 on numerous fraud offences and a dangerous drug charge.

It's believed the fraud charges cite a total of more than $100,000.

See he owes his landlord $25,000 too. :thumbsup:

and a dangerous drug charge (not sure what that means exactly thought it was normally possession of a controlled substance).

Shame that DOL is mentioned the way it is, to me it almost implies they were the only source of the online advertising, but maybe that's my interpretation.

Honest question - if he owes $x in rent etc what are the chances of the duped people getting any compensation from him?

not much i think. that is another reason they should all go to the police. even if they dont get their money back he will get a harsher punishment if he has scammed more people.

at the moment i read they think there is 30 people affected.
