Lucky is Missing in Santa Ana, CA

Description

Small light tan (golden cream) and white Pomeranian with a lump on his right neck. I want to share my experience as a caution to other pet owners. A guy with phone number (two-zero-one) (two-four-one-five-three-eight-one) contacted me claiming he had found my dog but before providing his address or allowing me to verify that the dog was actually mine, he demanded that I send the reward money through Zelle. As a pet owner, I understand the desire to reunite with a lost pet as quickly as possible, but it is important to be careful. A legitimate finder should be willing to provide reasonable proof that he/she has your pet before requesting any payment. Please stay vigilant and do not send money until you have confirmed that the pet is truly yours and that the situation is legitimate. I hope this helps others avoid becoming victims of a potential scam.
