Thinking of buying a puppy or kitten? Be careful, online pet scams have tripled since last year

Online puppy scams, in which sellers create websites purporting to sell puppies that do not exist, are on the rise.

"This seller absolutely played on my emotions and vulnerability," one victim told the BBB. "I'm a highly educated person, but I've never felt so stupid in my entire life." Since the start of the Covid-19 pandemic, the demand for dogs has increased so much that some shelters have stopped accepting applications to foster animals, and breeders have seen waitlists for puppies balloon,. In turn, scammers have taken advantage of folks looking for a little canine companionship in quarantine.

One woman told the Better Business Bureau that she was scammed multiple times in her search for a pug. She lost over $1,100 in the process.
