flag Online pet scams targeting breeds like French bulldogs are rising, with scammers using fake listings and cloned photos to steal hundreds to thousands from unsuspecting buyers.

flag The Better Business Bureau is warning Americans about a surge in online pet scams targeting popular breeds like French bulldogs and German shepherds, with thousands of fake listings using cloned photos and fake websites to deceive buyers. flag Scammers, often based overseas, use high-pressure tactics, demand upfront payments via digital services, and charge extra fees, leading to losses ranging from hundreds to thousands of dollars. flag The BBB urges consumers to verify sellers in person or via live video, check photos with reverse image searches, research market prices, and consider adopting from shelters. flag Reports show a significant increase in scams in 2025, with over 1,600 cases reported by September, though actual numbers are likely higher.
