The Better Business Bureau is warning about a popular Christmas scam. The BBB in many states including Wisconsin say agencies are receiving complaints about fake pet and puppy ads.
The Bureau suggests a few tips to try to protect yourself when buying a pet including arranging to meet the prospective seller in person and never sending money or prepaid debit or gift cards to people or a company you don’t know or trust. You can also do an internet search on PetScams-dot-com and on the BBB scam tracker.
