Sadly in today’s word you can’t trust everyone 🙁 Many scam artists are out to make money any way they can. They do it with houses, cars, jewelry, tools, PUPPIES, etc…
How to protect yourself:
* NEVER SEND MONEY WESTERN UNION OR MONEY GRAM! In all the puppy scams I have heard of, the Money is sent WU or MG!
* BEWARE SENDING MONEY out of country. Most puppy scam artists are located in Africa or other countries!
* BEWARE If it sounds to good to be true it probably is. Many scams have cute puppy photos (often stolen pics)for a low price including shipping!
* NEVER send money to someone you can’t talk to & communicate well with over the phone. Most scammers work over email because they speak little or no English.
* Only send money by BANK WIRE, SQUARE & CHECK. Square is secure! A bank wire goes through the Federal Reserve into an account with the SELLER’S SS number making it safe, legit & completely trackable!
