Denver Animal Shelter warns of scammers demanding phone payments for fake pet surgeries.

Denver Animal Shelter warns of a scam where scammers, posing as shelter staff, call pet owners claiming their lost pets need emergency surgery and demand a $500 deposit over the phone. Scammers use the 311 city information number to appear legitimate and find targets on lost pet social media sites. The shelter stresses they never ask for phone payments and advises victims to hang up and contact the shelter directly.
