Re: How do I NOT get scammed by breeder?
Posted by Lucille on 9/13/07

There is always risk, but to decrease risk, you can:

Deal out of state perhaps, but never out of country
Check references
Send money via credit card or paypal, methods that leave a
trail and can in cases of fraud allow the opportunity for a
chargeback. Never send western union or money orders, just
don't do it. If your seller insists, walk away from the
deal.
