      MI AKC DOG BREEDERS BECAREFUL WHEN SELLING YOUR PUPS.  I HAD A TERRIBLE EXPERINCE WITH A GUY WHO STATED HE WAS A "DOG BROOKER" AND HAD ORDERS FOR 4 YORKY PUPS.  HE CAME AND PICKED THEM UP ALONG WITH THEIR PAPERS AND PAID WITH MONEY ORDERS FROM CHASE BANK.  HOWEVER, 3 WEEKS LATER, I FOUND THAT THE MONEY ORDERS WERE FAKES.  I FILED A POLICE REPORT, BUT SINCE HE GAVE ME A FAKE NAME AND A PREPAID PHONE NUMBER (WHICH OF COURSE IS NO LONGER ACTIVE), I AM BASICALLY S.O.L.  SO PLEASE THINK OF THIS WHEN SELLING YOUR PUPS, OR IF ANY ONE ELSE HAS HAD DEALINGS WITH THIS MAN, PLEASE LET ME KNOW.

      Thank you for the warning.

      It is not common for reputable breeders to sell pups to brokers since most want to know exactly where their pups are going, but we do appreciate the heads up.

      A house without fur is not a home.

      This is a very common scam not just dogs but anything people are selling.  It seems that a lot of these money orders are foreign based and take weeks to clear and determine that they are bogus.

      Just as a note.  This scam has been made possible due to the changes in the banking laws that were pushed by consumer group some years ago that allowed faster access to money from checks deposited.  So by changing the banking rules that gives you access to money from checks even though that check hadn't cleared the host bank it also opened the unintended consequence of allowing more counterfeiting.

    They have a blog post as well....same thing. If they are just posting it once that's fine...more copies of the same should be deleted. I moved the thread to Advocacy.
