this kind of thing literally just happened to me today, I lost $800 for a puppy I thought I would get. please do your research folks and stay safe out there
Exactly. There are millions of dog breeders who have puppies available but the breeders demand a deposit way before the puppies are old enough for new homes.
3 different people show at my home wanting their puppy. They said they paid $350. and were to pay $350 more when they pick up the Puppy. I'm in Canada and the IP address was Colorado Springs Colorado. After contacting the Police we had no more calls or disappointed people come to our door.
Never, ever buy a dog online. Always meet the breeder, meet the mother and father of the puppy you propose to purchase, look at the facility. Better yet, go to a rescue. There are lovely dogs in need of a home.
Me and my wife just got scammed for a golden retriever puppy.. we paid through zelle $700 and then we had to pay a crate fee towards the end.. that was the red flag, unfortunately we never got the puppy and was never able to get our money back aswell.. huge lesson learned for us.
Never ever wire the money’s through online pet scam and it is the red flag it is worse things to do pet scam loves to take any money’s from you and no dog
I think I know what you mean, the scammer does indeed have the dog because they video chatted the victim with it, but tell the victim to pay them beforehand and they don't actually ship the dog after they get the payment from the victim. This is why people should go in person and buy the dog in person by paying with cash and not through any payment apps.
Just went thru the scam they tried always but never ever ever give your debit card number out or credit card of any kind here is what I said that protected me.. I will pay you when I see the dogs in front of me They had every stupid emergency to try to get mt card number ..
why would law enforcement want to bust a scam in a foreign country in the first place. That should be the job of the law enforcement in the country in question, and even then, those law enforcements don't do their job locally either.
I live in Italy and I breed imperial shih tzu, my domain has been purchased 14 years ago, my site has been up for 14 years, people should do their research, check the domain name when it was purchased because these scammers shut down their sites and open new ones with similar names. Reverse search photos does not always work or you can find the original real breeder, and they have been stolen, I have quite a few stolen from my site. So now I write the link of my site over the photos, in a place that they can't cut off like the ears across the face or neck. No one stole them anymore.
Never ever buy puppy from online but to find breeder house and meeting puppy parents they take all of money’s and never ever get any puppy from online they make anybody or anyone charge alot more money’s if it’s cute to see it online don’t trust any puppy scam they trying to take your money’s and never ever get puppy but to lost of saving money’s

Moral of the story: never never never never never never pay for a dog you don't have in hand.
Exactly. There are millions of dog breeders who have puppies available but the breeders demand a deposit way before the puppies are old enough for new homes.
I had to send $500 each deposits for my 2 yorkies. But she did offer for me to do the deposit in person.
Dont't pay for anything before the product is inspected in person
I agree, but we have to send the message out
Yeah they have a lot of scams on Facebook but Facebook doesn't do anything about it when you report it

Here’s the problem someone can videochat you with the dog but you still get scammed because they are using the dog for money which is TERRIBLE.

Here’s an idea, rescue or adopt one of the thousands of loving dogs ( cats) in shelters
I bait these scammers and trick them into emailing me their mules bank accounts
I am out of $809.99 too. Can not believe I got scammed
I was thorough. Never again.

That's what I do for all of my pets photos. Exactly around the face
No photo cropping to hide the real owner's name.
