Scammers are back


The scammers are still at it. Buyer beware. I posted this photo with an ad about Scammers and that they repeatedly steal photos from breeders. The scammer ads were gone immediately upon posting this photo. Then it seemed that they weren't present, and as soon as puppyfind.com removed my ads with the photo alerting about scammers, there are pages of scammer ads again.


Here's how to recognize a scammer:
1. Little real information about the puppy's dam, sire, breeding program, and little or no photos
2. Price is too cheap- $350 with shipping included, shipping is $225-250 by itself!!!
3. Seller pushes sale of puppy rather than assisting the placement to a forever home, and asking questions about the home the buyer can provide
4. Seller wants Western Wired Money, never send wired money for a purchase of any kind!
5. Check "all ads by this seller" and scammers will have pages of ads of all different breeds. If a breeder breeds more than 2-3 breeds they aren't a breeder you want to work with even if they aren't a scammer. It's hard to be an expert in that many breeds.
