Beware of new pet-stealing scam !
Police officers in Los Angeles are warning residents about a new pet-abduction scam that is now spreading in the area. Two people, dressed in official-looking uniforms, showed up at someone's house, showed him some paperwork that also looked legitimate, and told him they were there to take his dog away. they women told the pet owner that they had received complaints about the dog being neglected, and he had no choice except to surrender the dog to animal control.
Even though he know that his pet was not in any way neglected; he believed that he was forced to let them take the dog.
After they left with his dog; he called the number from the flier that they had left, and it turned out that the "officers" were fake, and the animal control knew nothing about the people or the dog in question.
These kinds of things seem to spread rapidly, so regardless of where you live; be sure to call and verify that anyone who says they are there to take your pet, is actually an animal control official.
