San Francisco Animal Care & Control is warning owners of missing pets about a new scam looking to take advantage of their plight.
According to the agency, scammers are reaching out to people who have posted on social media about their lost pet using a number that appears to be the shelter's primary phone number, 415-554-6364. The scammers then identify themselves as staff members, tell the owner that the shelter has found their pet, and ask for payment through digital apps or gift cards from various retailers.
"SF Animal Care & Control staff will never ask for service payments to be made over the phone, the agency wrote in a Facebook post. Owners can search for or report a lost pet on SF Animal Care & Control's website. Residents can also report a found pet through the same link.
