Look at this sweet pup. But is it a real puppy for sale or scam to reel you in and take your money?

ATLANTA - A purebreed puppy is generally very expensive. So it's natural to look for a deal. But, unfortunately, too many inexpensive puppies are posted online by scammers. 

  • Slick websites
  • Visit the breeder
  • Take your time
  • Don't wire money
