Type of a scam Online Purchase
A women posted an AD looking to rehome her dog on Facebook, stating that the dog was her daughters and her daughter just passed away in a car accident. The women was willing to give the dog away for free, but after speaking for some time she stated she had relocated to Atlanta, GA and it would be $230 to ship the dog. You will never, ever find a company who can legitimately ship an animal for that price, especially internationally. Upon googling the website she provided me with: https://pettransporters.wixsite.com/website The second hit was a page warning people about Pet Scams. After doing some investigation into prior pet scams, all signs concluded this was indeed one. The money was requested via Western Union, and the "Shipping Company" was not a secure site. After confronting the women about my finding, and insisting we use a verified and trustworthy shipment company, she blocked me.
