What is a pet scam?

Online pet scams are a growing concern, where fraudsters exploit the affection potential pet owners have for animals. These scammers create enticing advertisements or sophisticated websites offering popular or exotic pet breeds at prices that seem too good to be true. They captivate buyers with heartwarming photos, which are typically copied from genuine sources, and weave elaborate narratives to gain trust. When an interested buyer reaches out, the scammer promptly requests payment upfront, often through methods that are difficult to trace or recover, such as wire transfers.

As the transaction progresses, the scammer may pile on additional fees for vaccinations, shipping, or customs, pressuring the buyer to pay quickly to avoid supposed delays in delivery. Unfortunately, after the payment is made, the scammer vanishes, and the promised pet never arrives. The primary aim of these scammers is to siphon off as much money as they can before the victim catches on to the deceit.
