it's better to give than receive ...as long as you know the recipient.

... we are raised and given the parameters of " it's better to give than receive ".

... yes .. it's true .. except for those scoundrels, rascals, con men & occassionally women ... all fulfilling the role of outright thieves .. as they attempt to con you out of a few hundred dollars, or a few hundred euros, for their cute "babies" .. photos of puppies' Yorkies, Maltese, Bulldogs, etc .. which they post on many phony & attactive websites ..enticing you to wire money to them for the alleged purchase of these cute critters.

... yes ..it is better to give than receive; except for the fact that you will be giving to a total stranger in another country ... who falsely promises to have a third party ... Pet Air, Air Animal, Worldwide Pet, Starwood, JetPets, Animals Away, Pacific Pet, etc ... send you your alleged and falsely promised puppy purchase.

... get real folks; you can't buy an established breed for several hundred dollars, or several hundred euros in today's global market.

... if you send the initial and requested several hundred dollars, euros, etc by wire transfer, you are only setting yourself up to encourage the scammers to request more for alleged veterinary tests, phony insurance, and transportation costs.

... the "bait & hook" in their con game is the initial below market price for a recognizable and cute breed of dog.

... and, then ... lo & behold .. there are "insurance charges" .. and then there are "veterinary fees" ... and .. then there are transportation costs ...

... yes ... it's better to give than receive; yet you should know your recipient.
