Pet Scam
Pets are great friends and companions for people of all ages. Even adults love pets, and most people have a dog or cat at some point in their lives as a companion. However, this kind of sentiment for pets can lead people to be scammed.
Many con-artists, throughout the world have puppy mills. These animals are shipped, through brokers, to various sellers. These sellers advertise the puppies through the Internet or through other means of advertisement to unsuspecting buyers.
Their ads will display beautiful dogs that are extremely pleasing to look at online. They’ll claim that the dog is a championship breed and charge a lot of money. You’ll always have to pay up front in these situations. However, the animal you pay for is far from the animal that you get in the end.
Another downside with these pet scammers is the guarantee they give that the animal has had its shots and is in perfect physical condition. Many of the buyers who fell for this game got a puppy that was sick and/or died soon after. Do not plan on buying any live animals for a source you cannot certify as being legitimate.
For the most part, a buyer of a pet is paying for a specific pet that has a picture on the website. However, the buyer receives no dog and they can’t get their money back. Due to the large amounts of money paid for what is claimed to be a championship dog, many people have lost small fortunes. It would do you well to use www.national-cell-directory.com/United-States/Wisconsin/Spencer or another telephone look up service to test the validity of the claims these sellers are making, and to see if it’s a scam.
One of the favorite pet scams is to advertise that they will be shipped from overseas and all the buyer has to do is pay the shipping costs. Of course, after the money is sent they never arrive. Unfortunately, the buyer has no recourse in getting their money back.
Be prepared for many legitimate sounding stories from the pet scammers. One of the regular scam stories is owners who love their pets but can’t continue to keep them. There’s even a current tale about people overseas who are being forced to give up their pets for a variety of reasons. In addition, every one of these circumstances will demand prepayment of any money required.
If you want to keep from getting scammed, verify the original owner of the pet, or its location. Try to get to where you can meet the pet face to face, or trace the lineage of the dog. You’ll just end up regretting buying an expensive dog online sight unseen. It’s not hard at all to get in contact with perfectly legitimate breeders. Don’t trust any sort of transaction that asks for money before the product.
