When Kate Margolis found her dream dog online, she didn’t think for a second she could be falling for a scam.
A web designer herself, she said she was “blown away” by the breeder’s website and got in touch with him to find out more. He later called her and quizzed her on her home, lifestyle, and plans for the dog. He told her in order to secure a puppy, she’d need to send a deposit of £500. Then, in three months, she would be able to come and choose her new pet.
