In this episode I share what techniques scammers use to hook people. I also include true examples of people who have been scammed. Fortunately these people have either contacted a local news organization or the Better Business Bureau with their stories. They were willing to admit that they fell for a scam.
Internet fraud is rampent. Scammers will do anything they can think of to get your money. I’ve concentrated on puppy scams but have also included examples from rescue. Scammers don’t care who’s contacting them or anything about them. All they care for is scamming people out of their hard earned money.
Getting a dog from anyone is a highly emotional experience. People lose sense of reality and fall for these scams. They are also greatly hurt emotionally. That’s why it’s important to share this episode or at least the information to others. The more we share the fewer people will suffer from these scams.

There is a website, PetScams.com, that lists alleged scammer’s websites. Unfortunately, due to the large number of these websites, they do not include rescue or Social Media suspected scams.

Education about our breed is a key to avoiding any of these scams. That’s one reason I decided to create this podcast. Your goal should be to know more about basset hounds than the scammers. do. That’s your best protection in this and many others of getting and caring for your basset.
A future episode of WOEBGON the Basset Hound Podcast will concentrate solely on rescue both legitimate groups and those that aren’t. It’s become a big business in many countries.

Actually - just a note - AI will ALWAYS give US spellings - trust me - it drives me insane! I'm in the UK so it's always wrong 😆 That said, the Nigerians, for example, who are prone to doing romance scams etc, use the UK spelling - so ..... and few people in the UK would sell Bassets or other breeds even to the USA - and if they do, they would be top quality ones for loads and loads more than $650!
Great information videos though - and the more people learn about basic simple science and scammers - the more they will be protected.
