There are currently three
active pet sitting/pet professional scams.
All are variations of the very common
"cashiers check" scam. The basic scam
involves someone needing help of some sort
from the scam-ee. The scammer sends a
cashiers check or money order for an
amount in excess of the charge for
services. The scam-ee receives the check,
cashes it and is then instructed to mail
the excess to another individual. (An
uncle, a son, a vet, etc.) The check is
bad and the scam-ee is now out the entire
amount of the cashed check.
Below are the three active scams directed at
animal lovers and pet professionals and
their particulars.
If you receive a different version of this
or any other scam please forward it to
uspetpros so your fellow pet professionals
can be aware of any new
developments.
