Unfortunately puppy scams and so called 'cheap pug puppies' are becoming ever more frequent and very sophisticated. One reason these scam adverts look so legit is because they are constantly stealing text from real breeder websites and adverts and using them as their own. Does the website have a phone number down as a contact? And if so, have you been able to speak to a real person? Most scammers will not get on the phone. One, because their English is very bad, and two, the phone bill would be very high since they are in a different country than you are. Also, with caller ID, they do not want to take the risk you can tell they are not out of the area they claim to be out of. Many will list a puppy for free and then ask for a fee to transport the puppy to you or some will as for a deposit. -
