  • The Better Business Bureau says online puppy scams are easy to fall victim to because they appeal to people's emotions. One Colbert resident knows this all too well. KXLY4's Caroline Flynn reports.

    If 12000 was her life savings she honestly shouldn’t have gotten a dog like I’m sorry but it’s just the reality you should have enough money to be able to take care of them

      Lol 12,000 is enough to take care of a dog. Get off your high horse

    I know someone who was scammed £16,000 for a dog. Absolutely ridiculous. Exactly the same story of the air-conditioned crate. Scammer kept saying the money would be refunded (?!). Scammers are bad, but people getting scammed need to go to life school.

    This happened to me. I busted them a few doors down from my home in Milwaukee. Wouldn't surprise me if it's them again. They're so good they were running a site nationwide. They used my neighbor's name who was a soldier. I just happened to walk by and the cat was running loose and come up to me to be pet. Same cat they claimed was on the east coast needing transport.

    As a animal lover myself I can relate to such emotion and distress, Then again rescuing should had been taken into consideration.
    I but I also understand a Rottweiler is best as young as possible when sharing the family.

    A real breeder will never ask you for money for vet bills. Every breeder has a savings account.
