Petchip Reviews 267

I have just received an email from them also, unfortunately I have opened email, does this mean my dog is not legally registered?
If so, how does one take the next steps to register him ?

I have had a email saying the same as everyone else on here

Just reported email to gov phishing site - for some reason cannot post email. Suggest others do the same.

Same experience as others but I emailed them requesting a refund and got it the next day.

Like others received an email saying registration has expired. I heard alarm bells!
Also like others they know all relevant details.
They need to be stopped!

I’m glad I’ve just checked out this company on trust pilot. They say I have to renew my dog’s registration and should cost 1895, but every time I go to pay it says I need to pay £29.95. I couldn’t understand as I too thought this was a lifetime registration.

Yes a scam. Just got the email. Worrying because they have my name and address, and know my dog’s name - could make dog theft much easier. Why has there been no public information about a data breach?

I believed when a pet was chipped it was a lifetime registration thing, then I got an email stating our dogs registration had expired-click on links etc to renew etc etc. it contained correct chip number, contact details, pets name…literally everything …looked for real but being a super sceptic I wasn’t clicking on anything till I’d checked it out. My vet was suprised-said they’d never heard of having to renew and to ring them. So I did …call failed…appears no such number and then I came across everybody elses experiences….so glad I didnt click on the link….looks like a very clever scam but how the heck they get all that info is unreal…robbing gits

got an email saying one of my cats registration had 'expired' - it asked me to pay maoney to renew it. I didnt. I have since found out it is a scam
Very clever (or sneaky) as they knew my ctas complete name and details - scary!

I received an email requesting money to re register my cat which seemed odd. Had a lot of info. I checked out gov web site, this company was not on approved list. Forwarded email to gov phishing address Look it Up I couldn’t leave address here
I believe this is a scam

I have received two emails from this motley crew today, advising me that my [dead] cats MUST re-register their microchips.
The sisters are both now buried in the garden; 4 years ago and 2 years ago, respectively.
Would Petchip like me to dig up said cats as proof that I no longer require scamming ....?

Junk. Scary how much information they know. Name, address, phone number, pets microchip number.

He's registered and there's clearly been a data breach. Beware.

It's a SCAM. No need to pay an annual fee. Worrying how much information these scammers have gained access to though.

I received an email stating that my dogs chip had been deactivated, I renewed it on 7th June 2024, I've emailed them and no reply,

This is a scam, pet microchips do not expire. Received email tonight UK

my (dead) dog needs re-registering scam
OK scammer. I just received a reminder "that my dogs microchip is expiring and I need to pay etc etc in case I need to be reunited with him" My dog died about 3 years ago and he was taken off the microchip register at the time. Although I would like to be reunited with him I suspect this is not the way.

Yet another scam email

I believe this is a scam. Somehow they had all the relevant info requesting payment to keep my pets microchip active. Very worrying.

What a scam even in the UK this scam is running they emailed me told my dogs mirochip needs updating and to send £ 26 pound to update keep away ignore their email once you pay for a mirochip it is for the entire life of the animal
