Delta Airlines has uncovered a pet shipping scam using their name and logo. People go online and arrange to pay for pet shipping.
The site looks legitimate, but it is not the airline and no pets are ever shipped. The scam is also linked to a dog selling scam.
Dogs are paid for, but there are no dogs to purchase. In both cases the scammers keep the money

There are scams surrounding everything. I am glad the airline has acted on this one, but there will be others.
Pet scams are common. It think you shouldn't pay for an animal that you have not physically seen. Something contacted over the internet is too uncertain. There is no way to prove the pet exists. Also I don't think pets should be sold over the internet like this anyhow. Taking on a pet is more like an adoption anyhow.
