This is a really important comment from our blog community regarding an online trend that most people don't even know exists.
Here's a bit of warning along with an informative link:
"Dog flippers like this troll Craigslist looking for free dogs which they the re-sell for a profit. This one operates out of Missouri. This is why Craigslist advises people to never give a pet away for free but instead ask for a reasonable re-homing fee to guarantee they want the dog."
All kinds of scams lurk on the Internets but this one seems exceptionally cruel. Many thanks to local doggie lovers for helping to keep pets and people safe.
More in a bit . . .
There's nothing wrong with buying and selling an animal.
ReplyDeleteBut if you read this article this woman is a scammer who is committing wire fraud by taking deposits on pets then not delivering them.
Its like city hall spot zoning. Its legal but not ethical
ReplyDeletePet flipping. White-trash culture continues to be amazing.
