[cmtg1]

Has anyone encountered scammers claiming to have puppies for sale and in fact are just scamming the public

no

Not seen puppies, but there are reports of scam sales of exotic birds, so if someone is doing dogs I would not be surprised.

 

Always see the animal in the flesh, preferably with mum, get some sort of warranty, same as you would back home.

 

We have two fantastic little woofers (Thai "Chihuahua") and they were FREE.

You would have to be really stupid to fall for that.

Weeeell, my wife's poodle pup is now fully grown......It's a soi dog with a coat it don't like...

I ran into a "please take my dog free, I have to return home and can not take him with me" scam!  I agreed to take the dog and even drive the 600 kilometers round trip to pick him up.  The day before I planned on going I received an email:  "My wife wants 4000 baht for the dog, will you pay it?"  I said no and all communications ceased!  I even offered to pay it if he met me half way but no response.  I guess that the only plus was that he did not wait until I got there and then tell me! 

 

If I was pulling the scam I would have waited until I got there and fell in love with the mutt, if there even was one,  before I dropped the ball!!
