Pet lovers told to avoid online scammers
Pet lovers are being warned to be on alert for an online scam taking advantage of dog buyers.
The threat emerged as The News reported yesterday how a family from Portsmouth had been conned out of £716 by an African gang, with the false promise of a puppy being delivered.
The Dunkley family were hit by the scammers when daughter Chalsea selected a cute poodle puppy from an online advert.
