          Additional Info

          Based on a report we've received, Better Business Bureau believes this is a fraudulent online entity. The consumer who brought Shih Tzu Puppy to our attention stated the entity collected a $400 payment via wire transfer - a hallmark of fraudulent online pet schemes. However, Shih Tzu Puppy failed to ship the pet as promised and is not responding to requests for a refund. From previous experience with these
          types of fraudulent entities, BBB also believes Shih Tzu Puppy has no local presence in Minnesota.

          BBB offers the following tips to avoid online pet selling scams:

          * Beware of online or classified ads with multiple misspellings and/or grammatical errors. Many pet scams originate overseas, so scammers usually don't have a good grasp of the English language.
          * Don't be fooled by a well-designed website. Scammers can easily steal images and details from postings off the websites of legitimate breeders. Always research companies at BBB.org.
          * Watch out for requests to wire money. This is usually a sign you're dealing with a scammer. Never wire money to someone you haven't met in person.
          *Be leery of classified ads that promise cheap or free pets for adoption. These offers sound good, until the scammers tell you your pet is at the airport but you'll have to pay unexpected fees to move forward with the adoption process. The fees continue to mount and people eventually realize these offers were not legitimate.
          * Watch out for situations where you're asked to wire funds to unknown third-parties for shipping or transportation. These are often other fraudulent entities working in tandem with the
          supposed pet seller.
