The Better Business Bureau says anyone looking for a puppy or kitten this holiday season need to be aware of a popular scheme.
Officials in Wisconsin say the BBB Scam Tracker has seen an increase in people losing money to pet scams this year. Sometimes scammers claim to be breeders and many times they have a website with pictures and videos of adorable puppies and kittens for sale, but that don’t really exist. The BBB advises to never buy a pet without seeing it in person first.
