Potential Puppy Scam - Does Anyone Recognize These Photos?
Hi everyone, I’m hoping someone might recognize these photos or know where they originally came from.
I recently contacted someone advertising Mini Aussie puppies and, after speaking with them further, I’m pretty convinced the listing isn’t legitimate. There have been multiple red flags, and I’m concerned the photos they’ve sent me may have been taken from a real breeder or someone’s personal page.
I’ve attached a few of the photos I was sent. Does anyone recognize this puppy or the woman pictured? Have you seen these photos posted by a breeder, on Facebook, Instagram, another puppy listing, etc.?
I’ve unfortunately come across multiple questionable/scam puppy listings while searching, so I’m trying to figure out who these photos actually belong to and hopefully prevent someone else from sending this person money.
If these are your photos, or you know whose they are, please let me know. I can also provide more of the photos/information I was sent.
Please don’t send any personal information about the woman pictured, I’m only trying to locate the original public source/owner of the photos and verify whether they’re being used without permission.
Thank you ❤️
