Victim Location 65754
Type of a scam Identity Theft
My mom and I each have a kennel (we breed Pomeranians) and share a website. Our dogs are interchangeable. Mom texted me while I was out of state (we live in MO but I was in TX for a volleyball tournament). She said someone was using our names as owners of a site designed to scam people. I contacted KY3 and tried to fill out a scam report on USA.gov but I have not heard back from either of them. Mom contacted the BBB and they are the only ones to reach out to us. The scammer did not use our dog pictures as we watermark, but if someone is scammed and files complaints (especially all over the internet) it hurts US because they are saying we are the owners of the site. Due to us having a legitimate Pomeranian selling operation this could be detrimental to our business. Please help!
I don’t know how to complete the following. For example, do I list he scammed an individual (they listed our personal names) or our Business (because it will hurt our business since the scammer is selling fictitious Pomeranians). I also didn’t know if this is Identity theft but didn’t know what to classify it.
