Pet owners now have another scam to be aware of. A company using the name “The Pet Rescue” cold calls pet owners and claims to have found their pet or offers to help them search for a small fee. As you can guess, the company is not real and is just a pure scam run from South America.
The following are some of the numbers they use. Do not trust anyone who contacts you about your pet and is asking for money. Most of these numbers have been associated with other scams as well:
202-629-9017
281-763-0484
512-785-9420
585-243-9768
