Fraudulent Puppy and Rescue Websites - How to spot them - Episode 10 of WOEBGON

WOEBGON the Basset Hound Podcast

While I’m using a fraudulent breeder website as an example there are also fraudulent rescue websites. In this episode of WOEBGON the Basset Hound Podcast I’ll be sharing how to spot one of these websites. I use an actual alleged puppy scammer’s website as an example.
I need to make sure to say all this is alleged. In our country people are considered innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
In this episode I share ways to spot websites created by fraudulent breeders and rescue groups on the Internet.
There is a website, http://www.petscams.com, that lists alleged scammer’s websites. Unfortunately, due to the large number of these websites, they do not include rescue or Social Media suspected scams.

Education about our breed is a key to avoiding any of these scams. That’s one reason I decided to create this podcast. Your goal should be to know more about basset hounds than the scammers. do. That’s your best protection in this and many others of getting and caring for your basset.
A future episode of WOEBGON the Basset Hound Podcast will concentrate solely on rescue both legitimate groups and those that aren’t. It’s become a big business in many countries.
Episode 11 of the podcast will provide more on Internet fraud. I’ll be sharing why people fall for these scams and provide actual examples of cases where people were scammed.
