A warning to pet owners to remain vigilant about an SPCA impersonation scam
A warning to pet owners to remain vigilant about an SPCA impersonation scam
28 November 2024
The SPCA says it's received reports of a caller pretending to be SPCA staff or veterinarians - and targeting owners who have lost their pets.
It says the scammers are requesting hundreds of dollars to retrieve the animals.
The SPCA says it never requests payment this way - when it finds lost animals.
Police urge anyone who receives one of these calls to not provide any banking information and to report the call to Netsafe.
