Advice Regarding a Scam Re Buying Pets Online

Criminals are using the pandemic as a cover story to trick people into paying deposits for animals advertised online that don’t exist.

You may also be asked you to make up front payments to cover vaccinations, insurance and delivery.

Do your research by looking up reviews for the site, or person, you are buying from. If you’re still unsure, ask a trusted friend or family member for their advice.

Always use the secure payment channels recommended by auction sites.
