Caveat Premptor … the ages old warning .. BUYER BEWARE !
… published in the public interest to pet lovers involved in off-shore puppy purchasing or pet adoptions by Air Animal Pet Movers … the Tampa, Florida based provider of pet moving services to the relocating family, nationwide and worldwide.
… the world wide web .. i.e., the internet .. provides potential pet owners with a wide variety of information as well as the chance to purchase a pet and/or adopt a pet.
… we recently have been made aware of off-shore based companies purporting to be affiliated with Air Animal, Inc. (Air Animal Pet Movers) as either our agents, or as our partners, or as our affiliates.
 …. Air Animal, Inc. (Air Animal Pet Movers) is the Tampa, Florida based pet moving service, established in 1977. There are NO branch offices of Air Animal, Inc. …contrary to what these off-shore based companies state in their e mails to you. Air Animal, Inc directs its sales and marketing activities to the family relocating either within the USA or globally; and is rarely involved in the transportation of puppies for purchase, or pets for adoption.
… the business profile of the off-shore based company is to have you wire transfer several hundred US dollars to their off-shore locations via Western Union …. Once they “set the hook” into you with your initial deposit .. .. they come back with a sense of urgency …. indicating there are additional funds required to have US veterinarians conduct “tests” before the pet is released to you … and then request generally an additional USD$150.00 …. As you review their e mails to you …always with a sense of urgency directed towards you .. the unsuspecting US consumer … you will observe frequent errors in spelling and significant errors in sentence structure.
… another identifier of the off-shore based company is their reluctance to provide you with flight details, airline schedules, and air cargo air way bill tracking numbers … the off-shore based company will only provide you with information after you have wired them additional funds.
… Summary :
1. Know your seller --- request their web site for company profile.
2. Avoid foreign purchases requiring Western Union funds transfer.
3. Pay only with a credit card.
4. Demand a telephone contact and the sellers name.
5. Demand references from previous satisfied buyers.
