l've just seen a whole new way to sell pets online. This person joined FB at the end of last year, has over 2000 "friends", lists an area university in their profile as having attended, and has "liked" every area rescue, breeder, pet club, etc that one could imagine in Ontario, Canada. The only personal things on this newly formed page are one profile picture and some pets for sale. There's a dog and some different breed cats, one of which was advertised on our local cat club, and that's where l first saw it.

The profile pic is also one from a Homestay website, showing this family as being in Ecuador. The phone/text number they list is from Atlanta Georgia l believe (area code 678)  . Even on our cat club site, people are oohing and aahing over these cats, no doubt they'll sell them easily, and therefore make more, ugh.

The information being so spread out (Atlanta phone, Ecuador address) scares me a bit.  I wonder if its more of a scam than actually selling animals.

What people won't do ...
