  • Exotic Animals and Small Dog Scam Warnings 

    Wednesday, Jul 18, 2007 @11:03pm EDT

    A word about possible scams on WeAreCentralPA.com classifieds:

    There have been a number of postings on the Pets & Animals section from people claiming to have Yorkies, French bulldogs and other specialty breeds of dogs and birds "for adoption". Most of these ads are easy to spot because they include slick photos and poor grammar. The postings are often emotional intending to pull at the heartstrings of the reader.

    ALMOST WITHOUT EXCEPTION, all they require is the buyer paying for shipping. We have learned all of these postings are coming from users who give a location in places like New York, California, Kentucky and other states away from Central PA. In reality, these ads are posted from overseas ISPs and are NOT LEGITIMATE OFFERS.

    Generally, they will not offer phone numbers for you to call and talk to anyone directly - requiring correspondence by email only. And they require that you send shipping costs so they can send you the "adoptive" pet. If you agree to this, you'll never see your money again and you certainly won't get the animal.

    We constantly monitor all of our classified items and looking for any wrongful postings and eliminating them as soon as possible, but please be alert when replying to animal ads...if anything at all seem suspicious, it probably is.  If you see or feel that a posting is suspicious please email us with the details of the posting.

    But BUYER BEWARE - - these are definitely scams!
