SCAM ALERT FOR ALL PET LISTINGS

Charlotte NC

Description

Any post that has this combination of things is most likely going to be a scam. 1: no photos 2: the phrase at the end saying you must email them with your phone number. It isn't one of those two things that are telling, but the combination of both in a post. They are copying and pasting legitimate ads and then adding this line at the end. And they are so stupid that they are even mistakenly posting "ISO" ads as if they are rehoming or sale ads. They will use an anonymous texting service (I called the number to verify, or scream at the person, if I got an answer.) It was a texting app number. They threatened to call the police because I wasted their time 🤣. It seems silly, but I fear someone will fall for it and suffer a huge loss. Please be aware of this pattern. The legitimate posts they are copying will likely have photos, and they definitely won't have the phrase telling you to email your number.
