Puppy Scams, A Growing Online Business.
There are many scammers parading around the internet as puppy lovers trying to sell you
puppies they do not possess. It is an utter shame that these scammers would take
advantage of kind-hearted people searching for a new puppy to add to their family. Here
are a few tips to keep in mind when searching for a puppy online:
-You should always ensure that the pet seller has a public location where customers can
visit to interact with the puppies. Even if that location is not anywhere near you, at
least you know that other people are able to visit the puppies and that the puppies
actually exist. If they do not offer you this option, you should ask for pictures of the
puppies next to specific items (such as a coke can etc.) to ensure that this puppy exists
at the seller’s location.
-Never wire money! If you are purchasing a puppy online without visiting the seller’s
location, always ensure that payment is made via a traceable source (such as credit card
or paypal) to ensure that you are guaranteed a refund if the puppy never arrives.
-Try to stay away from “Free Puppy” ads. Usually these are scammers disguised as puppy
lovers who will rip you off by asking you for money for shipping in advance.
-Never fall for ads from people disguised as so-called missionaries from other countries
(Africa etc.) They usually claim to have high end pedigreed puppies such as bulldogs,
yorkshire terriers and maltese puppies for ten times less than the price of the puppies at
local or other reputable breeders and they usually ask for money to be wired to have
their “babies” shipped to you.
-If the seller is a reputable business, you should find out if complaints have been made
and have never been resolved by searching the BBB’s website.
Always adhere to these guidelines when looking for a new puppy to avoid emotional and
financial pain associated with trying to acquire a puppy from an online scammer. Many
people have made and are currently making these mistakes. Don’t be one of them!
