As I sit here, I'm dealing with calming down a crying wife because she walking into another fraudulent seller. Unfortunately, we can't name names because there are some who habitually make clearly fraudulent claims, and Charm, fully knowing the seller is usually guilty of fraud, simply forgot to check who was offering the cats.
So, once again, it's time to remind you to ALWAYS:
1) Check for clearly fraudulent claims.
2) Check the seller for those who are well-known for consistently making fraudulent claims.
3) If the Pedigree is not available, WALK AWAY!
4) Check the charts.
5) STOP! Recheck the Pedigree to be sure you're not mis-reading the FACTS as well as the claims.
My kudos: Some markets have started to institute rules against clearly misleading and fraudulent claims.
More power to them!
They should broaden the rules. At present the rules only apply in limited areas instead of the entire market area.
And all those market owners who do not have such rules should adopt them.
hey Tad,
is an optimal list of observations.
I'll take some of these rules to my market.
thank you.
