‼️PLEASE WATCH AND SHARE‼️
Unfortunately, scammers are stealing our REAL photos and videos and using them to scam innocent families out of money. A photo or video is NOT proof that someone actually owns the puppy!
Before sending ANY money for a puppy:
CALL AND SPEAK TO A REAL PERSON. Do not rely solely on texts, Facebook Messenger, or DMs.
FACETIME OR VIDEO CALL. Ask to see the puppy LIVE, not just in prerecorded videos.
ASK TO SEE THE PUPPY IN PERSON whenever possible before purchasing.
CHECK REVIEWS. Look for an established history with real customer reviews and repeat buyers.
RESEARCH THE BREEDER’S NAME AND BUSINESS. Make sure the person you’re speaking with is actually associated with that business.
VERIFY THEIR WEBSITE & SOCIAL MEDIA. Scammers often create fake profiles using stolen photos, videos, names, and information.
BEWARE OF BRAND-NEW OR SUSPICIOUS PROFILES. Look at how long the page has been active and its posting history.
DON’T TRUST A PHOTO JUST BECAUSE IT LOOKS LEGITIMATE. Scammers can steal an entire breeder’s photo and video library.
NEVER LET SOMEONE PRESSURE YOU INTO SENDING MONEY IMMEDIATELY. A reputable breeder should be willing to answer your questions and verify who they are.
WHEN IN DOUBT — DO NOT SEND MONEY. Take the extra time to verify first.
🚨 PLEASE SHARE THIS! 🚨
Scammers aren’t just stealing pictures anymore — they’re stealing photos, videos, business information and identities to make themselves look legitimate.
A few extra minutes of verification could save you or someone you love from losing thousands of dollars.
🐾 CALL. FACETIME. VERIFY. CHECK REVIEWS.
Protect yourself before sending a penny.
