Doggie Deception: Scammers Using Photos Of Cute Puppies To Dupe Dog Lovers Of Thousands...

Thieves are using adorable pictures of puppies to steal money. Now an Aurora woman says she got drawn into this twist on the classic Nigerian scam.Kellie Bohrer was looking for a puppy for her brother. 

She found an advertisement on dog.oodle.com for a cute Siberian husky. The puppy was described as a purebred and listed for $320 dollars. 

A good deal considering that purebred huskies can run $1,000. Kellie contacted the sellers and got more cute pictures and a registration certificate.“The agency called and said that we needed to give them $1,600,” Bohrer explained.
