As another service to
our customers, we have "Scam Stopper" software
in place across our entire site. The logo we use at left appears in the
menu bars on all our pages, as a reminder that we take our customers
security extremely seriously.
Internet scammers target both sellers and buyers of almost any type of
goods and service on the internet, with puppies unfortunately being no exception.
Most
scammers are from overseas countries that have little or no effective
control over internet abusers. Such scammers use free email addresses
such as hotmail and yahoo to further hide their identity. In addition to
other functions, our technology
blocks overseas scammers from accessing our site, providing a safe and
scam-free environment for our customers to buy and sell their puppies.
The
investment we have made in this technology is just another example of
the good service we love to provide for all our customers at pups 4
sale.co.nz!
Below is a
perfect example of why you should ONLY advertise your pups
online with us. This customer advertised with us and another
popular site that does not block overseas scammers -
unlike us. This is the result of advertising with that site:
"I didn't send a pup overseas. I did however get an
enquiry from a fellow that said he was from Sydney and was
on honeymoon in South Africa with his new wife and wanted a
pup as a surprise when they returned in 12 days. The long
and the short of it was he deposited or got someone to
deposit $1300 into my account ($1100 too much for deposit)
then asked me to send to him in ...wait for it...Nigeria, to
another persons name. The guy started harassing me with many
phone calls and emails etc. I stupidly forwarded the money
and had the fraud squad contact me within minutes. Luckily I
had put a secret question and we stopped it. He had stolen
the money and used my account to launder it! So it was very
nasty so no more ******* (name of competitor site deleted)
ever, they are BAD! Thanks for all your help"
