Dealing through online advertisements:

You've gone online to search for a puppy and stumbled across a Yorkie puppy named "Romeo." Or maybe an adorable English bull dog puppy with droopy eyes, or a free Pomeranian puppy named "Candy." It might even be a free Siberian Husky. The owners of the puppy aren't asking for any money – except for the shipping costs.

Sometimes there's a sad story that goes along with the puppy. The puppy's owner will tell you that their daughter died, and it was her puppy, or that they are adopting an orphan and won't have time to care for the puppy or that they have just moved and can’t keep it where they are.

They'll ask you some questions, meant to pull at your heartstrings and make you want to qualify to get this free puppy:

Where are you located?

Are you a breeder?

Do you have kids?

Can you also promise that you will take good care of our little baby?  (They usually call the pup their baby) Then they ask for some money to ship the puppy, and they want it sent as a Western Union money order.

Many times they want you to send this Western Union to somewhere like Douala, Cameroon in Nigeria. Sometimes it might be California etc, but they all work the same way.

They supply photo’s and even (edited fake) pedigree papers. Research through Google images should provide the unedited originals but the puppy photo’s are probably collected from a real breeder and used against their knowledge.

If they call you ask for a contact number and call them back. This way you can make sure it is a connected legitimate number and not a scam. Another red flag is that their english is not very good, they call from a mobile number but you hear bips as you answer the phone if you are quick enough.

There are many variations on this scam, this is just an example.

Too many times we have heard the stories of people falling for these scams.

If it sounds too good to be true, it more than likely is. Don’t be fooled.

Always get details and a phone number so you can be assured it is not a scam
