Free puppies online, is it legit?

Question

i was browsing online and i stumbled upon some sites advertising free puppies and all u have to pay is the shipping (most of these people are far and have to fly the pup out to where ever i am) I just find it so hard to believe that so many people would give them away like this... its puppiessale.org i really hope this is safe because i really have my heart set on getting a puppy, but if anyone knows... how are these transactions made? what to look for?

Answer 1

They just recently did a story on this on our local news network.  It is a scam.  You send the money for the shipping costs which is pretty high and never hear back from them.

Keep away from them.

Answer 2

It's legal but totally unethical and very unwise to buy. Will cause you heartache and big expenses at the vet.

Answer 3

Even if it wasn't a scam, which it is, you have to meet the puppy in person to make sure it's a good match for you; after all, you'll be committed to it for over 10 years (more if it's a small breed).  Go to a shelter; they have all kinds of puppies who need good homes.

Answer 4

HUGE scam.  Stay far away.

Answer 5

BIg Big Big scam!!!!!!

Answer 6

I wouldn't do it.  It is better to be able to go and pick the puppy up yourself.

Answer 7

I don't know... but I want to know about this... I'm getting a puppy soon.

Answer 8

Answer 9

There's a website in my town, where everyone I know goes too find a dog, puppy, etc. And these scamers are on there for Free English Bulldogs. I swear the post an add everyday, all they ask is for a shipping fee. And its always the same person. There was an add recently about free monkeys. And you would email the person, its a gmail email, all the time, and they would make up an eexcuse like, iI'man airplane flight aattendant and i need a small shipping fee or 700 dollars. Dont do it its a scam.
