To prove this, tell the seller that you will use one of the escrow services to pay for the animal. An escrow service is a third party that you pay. They hold the funds until you receive the animal (or other product) and give them the OK to release the funds to the seller.
If this is a scam the seller will not agree to this... |
I replied to 1 ad and it was a scam after that I got more and more emails different names and numbers but all the same thing.
one of them did say to pay for the puppy through a third party THIER third party turns out the third party name they gave me had the same number as one of the other emails I got saying they had a puppy for sale.
it's terrible but you have to be soo careful getting anything over the internet.
I went through delta when I got my neo and I paid shipping directly to delta. The breeder took him and got everything set up and called me with the info and gave me like a reservation number and I paid Delta directly I paid for the pup through paypal. it made me feel better I knew even if the pup didnt' show up that I was getting my money back for shipping and the money for him was insured through paypal.
