Noble Dachshunds

Puppy scammers have long exploited buyers looking for new furry friends by creating fake websites, such as Noble Dachshunds ? Cute Puppies For Sale, and posting fraudulent puppy advertisements online and in local newspapers. These scammers lure unsuspecting buyers, collect payments, and then fail to deliver the promised puppies, leaving buyers without a pet and out of pocket, victims of a scam.

The COVID-19 pandemic has exacerbated this issue, as more people sought companionship due to increased social isolation. Scammers expanded their reach through various methods, including online platforms, social media, phone calls, texts, and emails. For instance, the scam website Nobledachshunds.com was created to pose as a legitimate puppy breeder.

To avoid falling victim to a puppy scam or fraud, it?s crucial to recognize the warning signs and verify the seller or breeder's legitimacy. Ensure the breeder is listed with a reputable Dachshund kennel club, visit the breeder's premises in person, and have a video chat with the breeder and the puppy. Online reviews can be misleading as they are easily faked, so never send money or share personal information until you are confident in the seller's authenticity.

Despite potentially having numerous positive reviews online, sites like Nobledachshunds.com should not be trusted. Scammers often fabricate reviews on their websites and post identical reviews on other scam sites. They also create fake reviews on platforms like Facebook and TrustPilot.

When considering a purchase from a website, be mindful of signs that the company may be untrustworthy. One indicator is the website's age; for example, Nobledachshunds.com was registered only recently on July 16, 2024, and is set to expire in July 2025, which is a red flag. Verify that the information on the website matches the details on WHOIS.

Scammers often obscure their true location, falsely claiming to be in one place while operating from another, which they use to defraud individuals, such as by charging for non-existent pet transportation services. To protect yourself from scams and fraud, always verify the domain?s location through reliable sources before making any transactions.
