How to avoid a
PUPPY SCAMMER
A puppy scam is basically people trying to sell you a puppy that doesn’t exist.
They don’t have a puppy to sell you - and they use images stolen from the
internet to make you believe the puppy is theirs.
Another trick scammers use is advertising pups extremely cheap! you know the saying its to good to be true?
The easiest way to prove that a puppy exists is to request a video call with
the puppy you’re interested in.
You can also ask for multiple photos of your puppy and photos of their
parents – although it is possible for puppy scammers to steal these photos
from the internet too – so we still believe a video call is the best way to make
sure your puppy is real.
Other things to check up on are the ABN of the breeder.

relevant to the breeder’s state, for example Victoria or New South Wales.
