You find a social media ad for a puppy with a link to a professional-looking website. The seller is remote but they are selling puppies for $1250 including transport – much cheaper than you've seen elsewhere. They are very thorough and want to check you're a good prospective owner, so have asked for a deposit and a lot of information including a copy of your photo ID before they can agree to the sale. What would you do next?

There are red flags in this scenario – the cheap price, the inability to visit the puppy and their request for your identity documents. Genuine breeders may ask questions about your living situation to assess your suitability for the pet, but they don't need personal documents! Never send money or give credit card details, online account details or copies of personal documents to anyone you don’t know or trust.
