I Don't believe there is actually a puppy to these scams. Did you notice I said "He" when referring to the scammer? It is almost always a guy (or atleast a guy's name). There will be a picture of a perfect puppy...even a different one if you mention a different sex. Anyone selling a puppy should be able to get a photo (with no problem at all) of the pup and it's mother. Never ask for this first. First ask for a picture of the mother. After you say how pretty she is (because the picture will be PERFECT), THEN ask for a picture of them together. Remember, after you bust them REPORT THEM! It gets very exciting thinking you just found the deal of a lifetime, maybe you could spare someone else from this and/or from actually losing their money. |
Thanks for the education and no, I am not offended at all, I'm happy to find out how to expose such abusive behavior. One day when I'm not busy, I'll just start up on web and ask for pictures. I know there are good breeders on the web, I found both my yorkies via the web but I did a lot of research until I was sure of the site and also visited the homes. |
I wish I had known and done something about the breeder who scammed me on PuppyFind. I was all set to get my baby boy Maxx but I think I made them nervous when I asked 101 questions after I received "updated" pics, which looked nothing like the original Maxx's pics, prior to his scheduled time to come home because all of a sudden they told me he died during the night. Broke my heart and cried my eyes out for days!! Then I found the breeders on PuppyFind again selling more pups that were a few weeks younger and low and behold there were some of the same pics of MY Maxx posted on their new pup's pages!! Hate to think I left myself be that vulnerable. I can't help but still wonder what really happened to my baby boy :confused: |
OHHHHHHHHHHHH Now I feel like a scammer...LOL.. I had to tell this lady I couldn't send a picture(of a rescue) because my camera cord is lost...LOL.. It really is...lol....Truly.. :p I also told her give me a couple days to go buy a new one and I would put a hold on any other applications that came in for the pup.LOLOLOLOL.. I'm such a DORK :p |
Basic rule if it sounds to good to be true it probably is...The price on that dog sounds way too low, shipping a dog that size sounds like an awful idea, and shipping is usually by itself about that much. IF that dog did really exist it is likely that there is something seriously wrong with it health or temperment wise (most likely health), and it would turn into a huge heartbreak and financial burden. I am, because of my own experiences very paranoid of breeders. I would suggest if you are looking for a new baby getting in touch with other YTers in your area and asking them about their breeders. DO NOT BUY A DOG OFF ANY OLD WEBSITE OR IN A PET STORE! |
