General Michael A. Delaney announced that consumers should be aware of classified advertising scams targeting dog lovers—also known as the Puppy Scam. This scam has circulated over the years and has begun to resurface again, targeting New Hampshire residents. The scam involves the promised delivery of a puppy when the purchase price and all requested fees such as vaccination and shipping costs are paid, when, in fact, the seller does not have any puppies for sale. Some scam artists use fake or stolen photos in their ads, claiming they are pictures of puppies for sale. The advertisement instructs prospective buyers to wire money in advance and refers them to a money wiring service such as Western Union or Money Gram. In other cases, the scammer sends a check or money order to the victim in advance to cover shipping or insurance costs. They typically spend too much money and instruct the victim to forward the overpayment by wire transfer. Of course, their method of payment turns out to be fake, which the consumer only discovers after wiring the money to the scammer. When the puppy is not delivered, the buyer discovers he/she has been scammed and all attempts to contact the seller are unsuccessful. In the latest incarnation of this scam, the dog owner claims to be a missionary serving in Africa. In order to avoid these types of scams, the Attorney General’s Consumer Protection Bureau offers this advice: Wiring money is like sending cash. Never wire money or give your account information to anyone unless you are absolutely sure you want that person or company to have it. Purchases online should be made via methods that offer fraud protection. The NH Attorney General also suggests that you should know the person with whom you are dealing and independently confirm your seller’s name, address, and telephone number. Ask for and verify references. Resist pressure to “act now.” If an offer sounds too good to be true, it usually is. Always check to make sure there are no scam alerts issued against the seller. You can search for that information on the Internet, or by contacting the Federal Trade Commission or the Attorney General’s office. Always trust your instincts. If you do not feel comfortable with the seller or with the suggested arrangements, walk away from any further dealings with that person or company, advises the NH Attorney General. If you have doubts as to


whether an advertisement is legitimate, call the Consumer Protection and Antitrust Bureau at 271-3641 or 1-888-468-4454, according to the NH Attorney General. For more information on consumer fraud, you can also visit the Bureau’s Website at www.state.nh.us/nhdoj/ consumer/index/html.
