What is a pet scam?

Online pet scams are a growing concern in the digital age, where fraudsters exploit the emotions of potential pet owners. 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 animal shipping services. Communication with victims is typically conducted through instant messaging platforms such as WhatsApp, Telegram, or Facebook, and scammers go to great lengths to avoid voice or video calls, which would expose their deceit.

Once the initial shipping fee is paid, the scammer may invent various hurdles, such as unexpected customs issues, demanding extra money for clearance. This cycle of deception can persist, draining the victim’s finances and causing significant emotional distress, until they come to the painful realization that the beloved pet they hoped for never existed.
