Scottish dog scam

Potential dog owners looking for a new puppy are being warned by the Scottish SPCA to be wary of a scam that involved offering puppies to new owners for free providing the purchasers pay for the transport of the puppy.

The buyer sends off the money and lo and behold no puppy arrives.  A similar scam has been running for years in the auto trade but now it appears the scammers are trying to take advantage of dog loving folks!

Reportedly, several people have been conned by this trick and the Scottish SPCA is making a real effort to get this publicised in the media so that people won’t fall for it any more.

So, if you are offered anything like this, steer well clear!
