There are a lot of scams on the internet. A "bait and switch" is a popular one. The breeder (usually a broker) posts pictures of puppies for sale, but the puppy you thought you were buying is not the puppy that was shipped to you. Often the pictures used on the website are stolen from forums like these.
Bottom line is that you should never send $1,000 to a total stranger. Always get a puppy from a reputable breeder. |
