Woman Trying to Buy a Foreign Purebred Dog Online Scammed Out of 1300 RMB
May 17, 2016 By eChinacities.com

A woman from Jinhua named Li called the QQ News hotline recently to report that she had been cheated while trying to purchase purebred dogs online.

‘I want to buy a foreign purebred dog, why is that so difficult?” Ms. Li had looked on 58.com for information on purchasing a purebred dog from abroad. She was contacted by a seller who claimed to be a professional breeder. “A man contacted me claiming to be a professional foreign breeder for purebred dogs. I told him repeatedly that the dog must be purebred because it is hard to find a purebred dog in Jinhua. I do not think the dogs available in the stores in Jinhua are very good.”

Li said that the seller sent her information in English, but also sent a pedigree certificate. He also sent her photos of dogs. Li said that even if she could not read the English information, the photos and certificate seemed real. “The seller said that sending pet dogs abroad via air is very expensive, at least 900 RMB. He also asked me for a 400 RMB deposit on the price of the dog. I sent him the 1300 RMB and never heard from him again.”

The English information that Li received turned out to be information on a kind of food. It had nothing to do with pet dogs. Li reported the incident to police, and we recommend others watch out for this kind of elaborate hoax online.
