My wife and I had found on the internet an ad on deal’s.com in regards to a pom puppy.It turned out to be a scam with a travelling agent from the city of Cameroon . They had asked me to wire $180.00 through western union to Cameroon before they would deliver the puppy .The same ad was also changed to a different city daily in the listing ..Buyers beware of this when dealing with online puppy sales….

There are hundreds of these online and email scams. The rule is that if anyone asks you to wire them money the answer should always be NO. The most common one in an email version are the "You’ve just won the lottery in….(insert country name). But you have to send them money to get your money. SCAM. The other common one is "I’m stranded in (insert country) and I need help to get home" I actually got one of these and the name it was supposedly sent from was someone I knew about 8 years ago. But the spelling and grammar was so bad I knew it wasn’t her. Again SCAM.

And when you are looking for a pet you should always stay local. You need to be able to see the animal up close and personal before you accept it. You should consider contacting a breed rescue group. Adopt one that needs a good home. And unless you are only interested in a pom you should check your locale Humane Society. They have a lot of very good dogs available for adoption. This is the best type of reccycling – give an animal in need a home.
