Search the seller's phone number, email and name online, and run the photos through a reverse image search (Google Lens, TinEye). Copied or AI-made photos are a common sign of a scam.
See the pet before you pay: visit in person, or ask for a live video call that shows the pet. If the seller always has a reason why not, walk away.
Be wary of prices far below the market, pressure to decide fast, and requests for a deposit to “hold” the pet.
Never pay a stranger by wire transfer, gift card, crypto or money-sending app (Western Union, MoneyGram, Zelle, Cash App and similar). These payments cannot be recovered or refunded. Pay when you collect the pet.
Check any “shipper”, escrow or transport company yourself on its official website; fake delivery sites copy real ones. Be wary of new fees after you have paid.
Never share verification codes (OTP), bank logins or ID documents with a seller.
