How to avoid a missing pet scam

Desperate owners of missing pets are being preyed on by scammers. Rav has been contacted for help by Drone SAR for Lost Dogs UK -Β a volunteer group that uses drones to find missing dogs - after fraudsters trawled their social media page to find vulnerable owners asking for support. Graham Burton, who runs the group, reveals how some people have forked out thousands of pounds to scammers posing as the volunteers, in the hope of getting their pet returned. Rav also explains how to get help if this has happened to you, and why you should never post your address when looking for a missing pet.
