These scams have been around for a while, but apparently- the rate of people being scammed is still on the rise. What's worse is most of these sophiscated scammers fraudulently claim they are working with or for a legitamite business, which not only costs unassuming people just wanting to save a pet, but it also creates problems for these companies who are simply trying to make your pet's travel and move arrangements as safe and stress-free as possible. For a list of all legitamite companies and shippers, please check out the IPATA (The International Pet and Animal Transportation Association International, Inc.) site.
Here's a couple articles about the latest "pet scam" news:
