How to spot a bulldog scammer
Scammers copy real breeders' photos, videos and even their dogs' names. Here's how to check before you send a cent.
Check before you pay
- Find the breeder's number yourself. Don't trust one somebody sends you.
- Talk on the phone before you send money.
- A bargain price on a top-quality puppy is the biggest red flag.
- Walk away from anyone rushing you to pay.
- Check the account against the breeder's own list. Mine is here, and my only number is (305) 393-2225.
If you think you've been scammed
- Call the real breeder first to confirm it wasn't them.
- Report it at reportfraud.ftc.gov and ic3.gov.
- Call your bank or payment app right away.
