Scammers Are Now Coming After Lost Dogs?!

You know scammers have reached an all-time low when they’re scamming people who just lost a pet! Watch out for these scammers.

This is as angry as the scammers have ever made me. Doing this to poor people who have lost their pets and are scared and desperate is inhuman.

This reminds me of those "psychics" who "mind scan" If a missing child is still alive. Which either gives greiving parents false hope or causes the parents to give up searching. Its just so manipulative.

About 5 years ago, our dog ran away and we put lost dog ads on Craigslist. We got a response asking, "Is Lost Australian Shepherd still available? Would you be willing to mail it out of country?"

My boss lost her dog. Just not too long ago, she received a random text from someone claiming they found her dog and that they just need her address to ‘verify’ it’s her dog. Thankfully, boss lady didn’t fall for it. She asked them to send a picture of her dog with them if they’re for real but the fucker couldn’t, pushing her to just send her address. So she sent a nasty text back at them, told them to go to hell, and blocked their number. It saddens and angers me that people would do this for their own selfish reasons. I appreciate your work, Ben!

Not just lost pets but also lost relatives. My father was missing for several months and we had 3 scammers try to say they knew where he was and wanted a "small reward" for information

I love the idea of a team of experts with drones and k9s like chomping at the bit to go find your pet but being like WAIT we need that $100 first..

Thank you for looking out for us and letting us know about these idiots.

The sad thing is that someone could create a viable business doing this but instead scammers decided to rob people of their choice in their time of need.

you must have scared him off bad because I couldn't find him on Facebook, Instagram, or any of the lost pet groups. Good work Ben!!

Wow, a pet scam. Never thought I'd see that. Imagine losing your pet and then being SCAMMED ON TOP OF IT!!! they are devil spawn of society and deserve the worst that's coming to them.... thank you for bringing awareness

These scammers are heartless humans. Doing this to innocent people is really shameful. Thanks for making a video on this.

Dang, imagine looking outside and seeing a recon team, firetrucks, and some drones flying over just to find your Bulldog. Or your Shih Tzu.

top disgusting scamming right here. i remember being a 9-year-old having a early-life crisis because my dog went missing. i can't imagine how my faith in humanity would die if someone scammed us on top of that.

so glad you're covering this. me and my girlfriend lost our cat a couple months ago and she posted on a few pet finding sites our local animal sheter recommended and was being spammed by scammers claiming to have seen our little guy. it was heartbreaking seeing her get her hopes up from every new message. those guys are especially scummy. thankfully our fuzzy guy came back a few days later

I like the themes you play when you reveal their location 😂

Back when I was a driver, I used to see many fliers for missing pets. Occasionally I would see the animals and I would call the number and leave a message with a few details and ask for a call back (I NEVER asked for a reward or fee). I have NEVER received call backs from these supposedly distraught owners. One dog I saw daily running by the freeway. Tried to catch the dog but it was too skitish. A few days later it wad roadkill. Called the owners and left a message and never heard back.

Dear Pleasant Green, thank you for being the highlight of my current entertainment! I’ve been binge watching your content recently and I truly appreciate how informative you are in addition to the humour 😆 much love from Canada 🤍

Seeing this more and more on Craigslist and even in the public, great exposure Pleasant Green 💚😁

[malaisity]

Thanks for this, Ben. They've obviously found out our pets are our babies, not animals. What kind of feces would prey on panicked parents? Would they do this for missing children, too?

7:20 `then i learn about the drones` that bit made me laugh how he goes through it again
