You would think after the internet being around so long with so many stories of the zillions of scams, including more than a few about fake puppy scams, most people would have heard of all the online horrors and be on the lookout.
Who does hundreds or thousands of dollars of business online with totally unknown people, though? That is never wise and pictures of the dog or item for sale mean absolutely nothing. This day and time who is still so trusting as to ever buy anything online, seller and product sight-unseen, unless it's from a well-known website with a record of good customer service? Still you feel sorry for those that somehow still get caught up in these things and send money to out-and-out thieves.
