***Please Be Aware of Puppy Scams***

We have had several people contact our airport to confirm picking up a puppy or show up at the airport to pick one up that they have purchased over the internet. They are being told that the puppy will be flown in and delivered at our airport. Please Note that Mercer County Airport is not a pickup point for puppies that are purchased over the internet.

~Spot the signs of puppy scams~
1. There's no evidence of the puppy. Puppy scammers often steal photos from legitimate breeders' websites and post them on their own. Use image search services such as Google or TinEye to do a reverse-image search to find out if a picture has been posted elsewhere on the internet. Never trust photos alone — always ask to see the puppy in person and, if that’s not possible, ask for additional photos and videos.
2. It's too good to be true. The price might be enticing but remember that scams often present offers that really are too good to be true.
3. There are other up-front costs to consider. Puppy scammers often claim that they live or have moved interstate or overseas, so you’ll need to pay extra costs like transport, insurance or customs costs. Local pickup will usually not appear as an option.
4. The payment method is not secure. Think about how they’re asking you to pay. Scammers often ask you to pay by non-secure payment methods. It’s rare to recover money sent this way. Always look for secure payment options such as PayPal or credit card.
