A few tips. This page is an incubator of resources that is pet related. I am very active on social media so I come across some fishy stuff. Now, please be aware of scammers, some are very sophisticated. while looking for a furry friend. I suggest: To protect yourself in order to avoid disappointment.
Ask for a video conversation. Ask for an official document and identification. Write a contract of agreement. Ask to meet your future family member. An official phone number and email address. Take some screen shots. Veterinary documents regarding health and vaccination. Bitcoins, gift cards ? Really! How about Canadian tire money. Be very wise with pre payment. At your discretion. Please feel free to bring more idea, strategies, tips, to my attention as a comment, and i will add them to this list. Please share in relevant groups. Thank you. If you are suspicious about a picture “google reverse the picture” it will tell you about the origin of the picture.
