PLEASE READ!!
So I heard something recently that I want to bring awareness to everyone. Scammers possibly gangs, maybe not. They are stealing pictures of puppies from the internet. Then they post these pictures to sell “the puppies”. They don’t actually have. This itself has been going on a long time. Like those groups that keep trying to share to my page! Now they are giving you false addresses to meet them at. When you tell them your almost there they meet you there and rob you at g** point. Some get shot! PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE be very careful!!
Here are some reds flags:
🚩 Will only communicate through the site you find the puppy.
🚩 Comments on a breeders page. Like the ones I’m always trying to block on a daily almost.
🚩 Hesitation or avoiding questions.
TIPS:
✅ Ask for specific videos. Example: Can I see the puppy in a video next to a cup with a pencil/stick in it. Sounds silly but better safe than sorry.
✅ Ask for VET reference. Name of vet then look up the number. You will need to ask the vet if the owner is in there system and the parent/parents of the puppy.
✅ If it seems to good to be true, it probably is.
✅ Research ask lots of questions!! A true reliable breeder will answer your questions!
These are just a few. Breeders also are getting scammed on puppy buyers. So keep that in mind as well. It’s getting more dangerous these days. Not trying to discourage you from getting what you want just be super careful. With all this being said. If a breeder wants to meet in a public place, meet at a police station. If there is no wrong doing they will meet there.
