Abstract Research interests in recent years have expanded into quantum materials that display novel magnetism incorporating strong correlations, topological effects, and dimensional crossovers. Fe$_{3}$GeTe$_{2}$ represents such a two-dimensional van der Waals platform exhibiting itinerant ferromagnetism with many intriguing properties. Up to date, most electronic transport studies on Fe$_{3}$GeTe$_{2}$ have been limited to its anomalous Hall responses while the longitudinal counterpart (such as magnetoresistance) remains largely unexplored. Here, we report a few unusual transport behaviors on thin flakes of Fe$_{3}$GeTe$_{2}$. Upon cooling to the base temperature, the sample develops a resistivity upturn that shows a crossover from a marginally $-\ln T$ to a ${-}{T}^{1/2}$ dependence, followed by a lower-temperature deviation. Moreover, we observe a negative and non-saturating linear magnetoresistance when the magnetization is parallel or antiparallel to the external magnetic field. The slope of the linear magnetoresistance also shows a nonmonotonic temperature dependence. We deduce an anomalous contribution to the magnetoresistance at low temperatures with a scaling function proportional ${-HT}^{1/2}$, as well as a temperature-independent linear term. Possible mechanisms that could account for our observations are discussed.
