Unfortunately, the scams are progressive. We received no less than 5 calls week before last from people who wanted to know which flight their "new puppy" was on and the exact date of arrival and the airline. These poor souls had sent substantial money for purchase and our Company name was given as the "Shipping" Company in charge of the relocation. Many of these people are sending money to foreign countries where there is no hope of prosecution or other means.
