Buyer's Tips | Petzlover

  1. Do an online search (Google, Bing, AOL, etc) of the E mail address and the phone number of the seller. Scammers often place Ads in multiple locations and also in multiple breeds. If you find such situations it is probably a scam since scammers utilizes free sites and also different locations.
  2. You should make arrangements of flying to the seller's location by yourself and buying the pet. If the seller won't agree with this deal, then mostly it will be a scam. Some scammers will tell you the reasons that are like real situations that cannot be disagreed. In any situations you should not beleive them completely as you did not know about them earlier.
  3. Make an online search on the part of the Ad like their introduction and information about the Ad. As scammers place more number of Ads they use same text in most of the Ads.

  5. Ask for the shipper the seller plans to use and search about the shipper until you get all information about them. Check whether they are real.
