The American Kennel Club® (AKC®) and the Council of Better Business Bureaus (CBBB) are warning consumers about scams targeting unsuspecting puppy buyers.
Both the AKC and the CBBB have recently received a number of reports from consumers throughout the nation who have lost money after responding to online or newspaper classified advertising.
Commonly, the scammer —posing as a breeder—will place an ad offering free or

Communicating solely through emails, the scammer may claim that he/she is affiliated with an organization and is being relocated to a foreign country and needs to re-home the puppies.
“The consumer can be taken in by the sincerity of the scammer, who’ll say that they don’t care about money and just want to find a good home for their beloved puppies”
