Gloucestershire Police Warning
Police have warned local residents to beware of an internet sales scam involving pets. Adverts are placed in a number of internet classifed ad sites offering puppies, kittens and even exotic animals such as monkeys or snakes. Once contact is established with the seller, and a price agreed, the purchaser is asked to pay by overseas money transfer, even tho' the pet is supposedly in the UK - police advise buyers to steer clear of these kind of adverts, and always have actual physical sight of the animal, in its own home, before agreeing to buy. Money sent on an overseas transfer is unlikely to be seen again!
We live in the northern half of the Cotswolds near Chipping Norton, and have been here for 25 years - we love it, and we hope you do too!
