Scammers will try to sell you anything — even fake pets. In a pet scam, a scammer will list animals for sale on Craigslist, sometimes claiming they're a breeder. Other times, they'll say they're trying to rehome an animal because they're moving or unable to care for it.
While Craigslist officially bans the sale of companion animals, in reality such sales are common on the platform, with sellers often using the term “rehoming” in order to skirt the ban. Scams are widespread, with unethical breeders and dealers frequently selling animals who are sick, stolen, or even nonexistent.
Dig up any information you can about the seller before agreeing to the purchase. Ask for their full name, phone number and street address. Do a quick online search to see what the internet is saying about them. If you can't find anything, the name and address are likely bogus.
When buying a puppy on Craigslist, ask about the puppy's health history, vaccination records, and the breeder's practices. It's essential to meet the puppy in person and inspect the living conditions before making a decision. For more tips on responsible pet acquisition, explore my Quora Profile!
Ask the seller for their account #. It should match their name from the ticket rep and the tickets. The account # is on the top of the ticket. Call the team or ticket agent and speak to the person's ticket rep and verify the person has an account and has tickets.
Legitimate rescues will be happy to answer questions and provide credentials. They should also be willing to answer questions about the dog's health, temperament, and background. If you're struggling to get information, it may be a sign of a scam.
What are the most common signs of a rental scam? Rental scams often have listings with prices that seem too good to be true. They might pressure you to make quick decisions, ask for rent or deposit without a signed lease, or avoid meeting in person.
