If you’re aware of or the victim of a pet adoption scam, you can report it to the Better Business Bureau. And if it’s an online scam, you can report it to the Federal Trade Commission. However, many scammers are never caught due to the amount of resources it takes to hunt them down. If they are skilled con artists, they will cover their tracks. Some scammers may even be overseas doing all their scamming virtually, which can be very difficult to trace and track down. This, unfortunately, is usually not worthwhile for law enforcement to track down.
