It was at the bottom of the article. Go by these rules and you shoud be good.

Don't pay money for a pet you haven't seen in person.
Get your animal locally. Be very cautious if you're dealing someone out of town.
Visit a local shelter or breed rescue group to see if they have the type of animal you're interested in.
If you do decide to deal with an out-of-town seller, do your homework. Don't send any money until you've verified they are who they claim to be and have an established track record.
Beware of free pet offers. That is often how victims get drawn in to these scams.
