AKC and Better Business Bureau Warn Consumers to Be Wary of Puppy…
AKC Gazette – May 29, 2007
?The consumer can be taken in by the sincerity of the scammer who?ll say that they don?t care about money and just want to find a good home for their beloved puppies? said Steve Cox Vice President of communications for the CBBB. ?But then the fees for shipping the pet mount up and the consumer can lose hundreds of dollars before realizing they?ve been conned and will never get their puppy. ? ?This is certainly not the only scam to be aware of but it is a common one? says AKC spokesperson Lisa Peterson. ?Because of the emotional investment consumers are more vulnerable to being taken advantage of when it comes to a cute cuddly puppy than with any other purchase. A dog is a major investment — a living breathing being who will rely on you for 10 years or more. Take time to educate yourself on the hallmarks of a legitimate and responsible breeder. ? The AKC and BBB offer the following advice:Do your research… Don?t be fooled by a slick web site. Unscrupulous breeders and even outright scams can be represented by professional-looking web sites that lure you in with fraudulent pictures of adorable puppies. At the very least speak with the breeder on the telephone and ideally meet the breeder the puppy and the dam in person. If you locate a breeder online never send money without checking their references and credentials first. The AKC recommends that you first contact the national organization for the breed (Parent Club). It is essential to visit the breeder at their home to see the entire litter and the care and conditions given to the puppies prior to purchasing.

Trust yourself firstFor Janice Tarver a medium and psychic the abilities have very little to do with supernatural powers. Psychics and mediums are just people who trust the instincts we all naturally have according to Tarver. Tarver moved to San Antonio Texas four years ago but still does telephone readings for New Hampshire people through a local phone line. Her business is called Somewhere in Time. Lately Tarver has found herself counseling parents who have lost children in the Iraq war. And her role has not been that of a fortuneteller she said. It has been more akin to that of a priest or a therapist… “f course there’s a cynicism because psychics are about charging money which breeds a great deal of skepticism immediately” said Hart of Plymouth State. Ann Hentz a tarot card reader at Circles of Wisdom in Andover Mass. even goes so far as to warn against psychic scam artists. “I think if they come up with a scheme where you can give them more money and they can make everything all better that’s a red flag” she said. Hentz once got a reading she said and was told that for another $50 the psychic would pray for her. Circles of Wisdom charges between $70 and $100 per hour for readings Hentz said.
