Notice to pet buyers about avoiding pet scams

Posted: Friday, May 24, 2013 12:02 AM

In this category, any ad that does not include a valid phone number is a scam. You should always call a pet provider to verify they are not an overseas pet scam.

Please help remove pet scams that include an email address in an ad or if they include an email address in the pics.

Simply click the report buttons on the upper right of the ad to remove the ad from the listings. When multiple users report a scam ad, the ad will be removed.

Thanks

Play it safe. Avoid Scammers.

As a precaution, email contact has been disabled in this category because of scam attempts. If this ad does not contain a working phone number, web address, or the poster has forced their email address into the ad, the chances of it being legitimate are very low.

Most of the time, transactions outside of your local area involving money orders, cashier checks, wire transfers or shipping (especially overseas shipping) are scams or frauds.
