The NYS Division of Consumer Protection is warning that holiday pet scams are a frequent occurrence.
According to the ASPCA, there are thousands of reports from consumers who have been scammed. The Better Business Bureau reports online pet advertisements continue to be a significant source of fraud. The Consumer Protection division suggests adopting a pet from a state registered Animal shelter, humane society or animal rescue.
