10wks old Pomeranian puppy. Hes a male has a moderate energy does not like to walk on leash but will follow you. Please look up info on this breed as its a very high energy animal and do not ask me what a bulldog puppies is. Asking a rehoming fairy is maybe lower. He wants to come with a collar, leash, and if theres any remaining food. Does not have his shots as he is barely old enogh. Prefer him to a home with a yard. Likes other dogs, people, and cats. He is not crated yet but hes getting there. He only has a few accidents in house. NEEDS TO GO ASAP. Thank you for your time

    Where can you find the "deposit fairy" and "rehoming fairy" they are asking for?  Closest I could find is the "Fairy Dogmother Rescue" in Alabama...

      I figured it out.  They meant "deposit fee" but ran it through some sort of translator that mistook it for "feé," the French word for fairy.

    Thanks so much for calling these bozos out.
    Craigslist is turning into a scamlist as far as I can tell.  Been looking for a pet since October and can’t get thru the scammer crap to find a real oerson trying to find their pets a good home.  Thanks again.

      We just adopted a dog through "Adopt-a-pet".  Also check Petfinder & Rescue me.  You GO & MEET THE PET.  There are also REAL adoption groups for a specific breed.  Check the internet and DO NOT but do not buy (or send money) without seeing the animal in person.

            Here's one:  (They sure want that deposit!)

            POODLE 💝puppies 12 WKK
            Pups will be 11 weeks and ready to go to their new homes on May 5!!
            They’ll receive dewormer every 2 weeks starting at 2 weeks old and will come with their first round of shots!
            When they’re ready to go,
            Both mom and dad are very intelligent and have wonderful temperaments with our kids.
            Unfortunately, we can not hold a puppy without a deposit.They're cute, they're cuddly, they're sweet and for a small rehoming fee each, they can be yours! Will send more pictures when i get my tablet charged up. They will be getting their first shots next week and will come with the blankets they lay with as well and a puppy care package with food, treats, toys and a leash they can enjoy once they get a bit bigger. Willing to do a deal if you give a home to more than one

      Just out of curiosity, i started looking at the Pet ads in Craigslist, and 90% of them are scams. i right-click on the pictures, and find the same photos all over the web. Then I Google the email addresses and phone numbers, most of them have been used over and over again in tons of other Craigslist ads all over the country. Most of the ads are worded pretty strangely, so most of them are obvious. (But sadly, there are some people who have fallen for these scams, and that makes me mad!) Once I know they're a pet scammer, I flag the ads. I really wish Craigslist hired full-time staff members to delete all of these pet scammers!!! (Also, you can Google whole paragraphs and sentences from the ads and see them repeated on Craigslist in cities all over the country. MOST of the scam ads are very long and wordy, and you can spot the spelling/grammatical mistakes and strange wording. Some of the ads are shorter, and are written more clearly, and the scammers have a better grasp of English).

        They are going to want you to send money through Zelle, for shipping, and you will never see the pet, because the pet does not exist. They use the same ads, email addresses, and phone numbers over and over again in Craigslist ads all over the country.  The best think to do is mark their emails as spam and delete them.

        Here's an article I found on PetScams.Com:         https://petscams.com/news/buying-pets-with-zelle-exercise-extreme-caution/    Title:  Is it safe to pay with Zelle?

        "We are often asked if it is safe to pay with Zelle  and while it may be secure, it is dangerous to use Zelle to make payments to people you do not know. It has come to our attention that there are a growing number of scammers using Zelle to receive payment for non-delivery fraud, specifically pet scams.

        One aspect of Zelle which may confuse victims is that payment can only be sent and received in the USA. It is easy to think of it as a domestic version of Moneygram or Western Union.

        How do scammers overcome this? The answer is that they use “mules”, individuals living in the USA that collect payment on behalf of scammers. The mule will then either send the cash to the scammers country of origin through a bank transfer or by ordering products online. This is how these scammers can launder the dirty money. (EG: Iphones, laptops etc). Zelle offers no protection for fraud and is not a reliable method of payment for buying products or pets with."

          crookbusta replies to Sofia
          The money mules aren't always scammers themselves.  Many of them are recruited through other scams (romance scams, job scams).
          More often, the scammers will ask their victims to buy gift cards and send the numbers from the back.
