A new scam. They see an lost animal ad in the paper and call up claiming
they can help find the animal. Then they ask for money up front. I guess
you know the rest of the story.

You are wrong. No phone calls to grieving owners. Most find the
website via a search engine after a pet has gone missing. It is an
obscure industry and very few folks have heard of it. I just thought
the word should get out there to pet lovers. The dog team is trained
to find the missing animal's trail. Dogs and Cats, not birds or
reptiles. Many positive results. Many happy pet owners and pets.
Mainstream media has covered these searches. The owner goes along on
the search and participates. If you are skeptical please check with
the BBB. Never a complaint in 2 years of service. References can be
provided.

Uh-huh. Business is *sooooo* good!!! that you feel
compelled to do something analogous to telemarketing in
order to sell your crap.

In 23+ years on Usenet I've never bought anything advertised
in discussion groups. Never will. And when people ask for
recommendations, I generally recommend that they avoid the
scammers who feel compelled to advertise here.

Advertising to Usenet is a pretty good way to wave a great
big red flag saying that your business sucks. I'm not sure
who told you that pissing off your potential customer base
is a good marketing strategy, but you may want to have a
little talk with them about that.

Respectfully,

I am not responding to a missing pet post.

My hope is to educate.

Usenet is a bulletin board.

I am certainly not selling anything off of Usenet.

I would agree that trusting anyone implicitly based on an internet
bulletin board post is downright naive. That is why there is a link
to a web site which contains media links, testimonials, a phone number
if necessary. Personal references from past clients can be arranged.

The business IS a good (as in credible, not big money making)
business, albeit obscure. I am trying to get the word out.

If somone wants to make money, don't get involved in helping people
locate their lost pets. It is a one mini-van, one person, two dog
outfit. And no one is going to be selling stock in the missing animal
detection business anytime soon. Helping people and pets is pretty
much the reward when you come down to it.

Perhaps before labeling something a scam a person might take 5
minutes, do some research and come to an unemotional opinion?
Skeptical I fully understand. But to label something a scam simply
because it is on Usenet seems rather simplistic.

No, it's to sell crap.

No, it most certainly is not, you ignoramus. Jeeze.
