(This video is in Chinese only)Beware of "Petfishing Scams"In recent years, an increasing number of unscrupulous pet sellers post misleading or false information about pets online to lure buyers into purchasing animals that are unhealthy or do not match the descriptions provided. Innocent citizens fall victim to these increasingly common “Petfishing scams”. Buyers may suffer financial losses, and in severe cases, pets may become ill or even die shortly after being brought home. This leaves pet owners traumatised and emotionally devastated, grappling with both financial and psychological burdens. Moreover, these deceitful sellers often disappear once health issues arise with the pet, making it difficult for the buyer to seek accountability. These incidents highlight the potential risks of purchasing pets online.If you are planning to purchase a pet, be sure to purchase from a licensed seller. AFCD introduces to you the essential knowledge needed to become a smart buyer and consumer, so as to avoid falling into the trap of “Petfishing” scams.SourceAFCD's webpage on AdoptionAFCD's webpage on Petfishing Scams
