Avoid Scams and Fraud
We are honest people. Yet, as online scammers are becoming more widespread and creative with their tactics, consumers need to be aware of how to protect themselves.
Here are some tips to help you avoid scams and fraud
- Only deal with people in your area. The best way to avoid scammers is to deal locally, with people you can meet in person. Scammers will often contact you from another country or somewhere far away, asking you to ship the item you’re selling.
Please read our Terms of Use..
- Don’t wire funds (Western Union, Money Gram, etc.). If you’re asked to wire funds, you’re talking to a scammer.
- Beware of identity theft. Don’t share your private info. Identity theft is one of the fastest growing crimes in the United States. Don’t give out bank account numbers, passwords, mother’s maiden name, date of birth, place of birth, credit card numbers, social security numbers, or any other personal information.
- Beware of fake cashier’s checks and money orders. Scammers will often send you a fake cashier’s check valued above your asking price. The scammer will then ask you to wire the over-payment back to them. Your bank may even cash this check, but when it’s discovered that the check is fraudulent, you will be held responsible by your bank.

- It could even include pictures and other details – often copied from a genuine seller‘s ad.
- The seller will claim they had to move or give another excuse for why you can’t see the animal in person (examples: moved to Africa for missionary or development work, sold the pet to someone who moved overseas and now they want to sell it back, etc.).
- They will ask for shipping money even if the animal was initially listed as free. The animal will never arrive.
