What is a pet scam?

Online pet scams are a growing concern in the digital age, where fraudsters prey on the emotions of animal lovers. These scammers use appealing images of pets, claiming they are available for sale or adoption at little to no cost, aside from transportation fees. To appear credible, they often set up counterfeit logistics websites that pose as legitimate pet shipping services. Communication with potential victims is usually conducted through text-based platforms such as WhatsApp, Telegram, or Facebook Messenger.

Scammers avoid voice calls and adamantly refuse video calls, which would expose their deceit by not being able to show the pet in real-time. Once the initial shipping fee is paid, the scammer may invent various hurdles, such as unexpected customs issues, demanding more money for supposed clearance costs. Victims are strung along with these fabricated obstacles until they come to the painful realization that there is no pet, leaving them with a sense of betrayal and significant financial loss.
