- Never send money through services like Western Union, Money Gram, PayPal, or BidPay.
- Never accept any cashier's checks or money orders from unknown parties.
- Beware of discounted or free puppies. They are most likely attempts to bait buyers into paying for absurd shipping & delivery charges for the "free" adoption.
- When a deal sounds too good to be true, it probably is.
