While Sue has typically rescued pets, she decided to try a different route this time. The clarity she has now is helping her speak out to keep others from falling prey to a pet-selling scam. MORE ⬇️
PHOENIX —"As I look back, there were a lot of red flags, but we were so lured in by these cute puppies and the price was right. All sorts of things that probably were too good to be true."
After one of her dogs passed away, Sue admits she was emotional. She says her other dogs seemed depressed by the loss as well. That's when she thought about getting a puppy to help lift up and energize herself and her dog family."I saw this ad for these cute little Maltipoos." "...He did make it sound like he's been doing this a long time and he's approved... all of his dogs are vetted, and they get their shots," Sue recalled the conversation.At first, he wanted payment by Zelle or an eBay gift card. Payment by a cash app or gift card is usually a big red flag. Sue says it did make her uncomfortable, but when she questioned it, the man was convincing.Then came the time to meet the puppies. While appointments were set, they did not go smoothly.
The homeowner is likely another victim with the fake dog seller based somewhere else and using a local address to lure people with the scam.
