Pet Scams

PET SCAMS



Puppies - Kittens - Horses



While there are many legitimate websites offering pets for sale and pet transportation services, there are also many scams on the Internet and the problem is continuing to grow at an alarming rate.

What used to be "puppy scams" has grown to include birds, horse and other types of family pets.

Puppies, kittens or horses being offered for sale or given free (who do not even exist) and are to be transported by XYZ or by REX company (illegal use of our name).

You can recognize the scam immediately if they ask you to transfer by:

- Western Union
- Money Gram
- Cash

If the country Cameroon is mentioned then this should have your alarm bells ringing.

NO animals travel under these conditions.

If the company does exist, they may not even be aware that their company is listed as the shipping company. The unsuspecting buyer completes the payment for the puppy, kittens or horses then calls XYZ or REX company to find out when their puppy, kittens or horse will arrive. Only REX company has never even heard of the breeder who sold them. These puppies, kittens or horses are being offered at below breeder rates with mysterious pedigrees or given against good care.

Across France, US, Europe for only 170 Euro ($) or across Switzerland for CHF. 400.- or Horse by plane for 600 Euro and delivery within 48 hours. All these prices are bogus.

----- Do not even attempt to make contact -----

If you are in contact with any breeder, you must get copies of their vaccination papers, Chip number and any necessary paperwork. Do not send money by any means such as money transfer.
