Live Videos: A Key to Avoiding Scammers
The rise of online scams has made it feel like there are more scammers than genuine breeders. That’s why it’s absolutely critical to verify the legitimacy of an online pet breeder before sending them any money.
One of the best ways to confirm that a breeder is real and that the kittens are actually in their possession is by requesting a live video. This ensures you’re dealing with genuine people and not falling victim to stolen photos or videos.
Here are a few ways to verify a breeder’s authenticity:
- Live Video: Ask for a live video of the kittens in real-time. A great way to do this is through Snapchat.
How We Use Live Videos
While we don’t provide live videos or video calls on demand, we regularly share spontaneous live videos multiple times a week on our Facebook, Instagram, and Snapchat pages. These unscripted, unedited videos showcase our kittens in real-time, offering a transparent glimpse into their daily lives. Be sure to follow us so you never miss a moment!
Why Live Videos Matter
Live videos are an effective way to weed out scammers. Unlike pre-recorded content, which scammers can easily steal and repurpose, live videos happen in real-time, giving you confidence that the kittens and breeders are genuine.
A Word of Caution
Scammers have been known to use stolen, pre-recorded YouTube videos to trick buyers. Always check the date and source of any video to ensure it’s authentic.
