WARNING - NEW DOG STEALING SCAM
Yesterday a family was scammed into handing their dog over to a "police official" after he asked the daughter if she had a licence to walk her dog.
The young girl was very scared and nervous and told them that the licence was at home. I think she did this out of fear as we all know there is no such thing. She asked them to accompany her home to see her parents and they said no, but they were taking the dog and she could come and fetch it from the police station.
She handed the dog over and they gave her some kind of receipt and left. The family went to the police station and were told that there is no such thing.
I have posted this purely to warn people about the scam. As I got this from a second hand source, some of the info might be incorrect, but I would urge people walking their dogs to be on the look out for a White Pick-up with 2 "officers" wearing blue "official looking" shirts.
If these people approach you get a description of the car and the men, if possible call 999 and tell them that these men are standing in front of you and when did this new law come into place.
It is obviously just a hoax to steal dogs and once they are questioned and realise that you aren't taking the bait, they will leave you alone.
Please becareful out there with your dogs, as we have also heard of people grabbing dogs leads from their owners.
keep it up

You can't teach experience...
isnt it some kinda rule for officers to show some sorta identificaition? I mean atleast the people should be smart enough to ask for some sorta id. there's nothing to be scared of its a simple request to ask, if they are genuine they will show it.

Actually, i would love them to try with me....
you see, on speed dial I have the number for the Head of the Dog Unit at the Civil Defence, and am on first name terms with him.....
Would love to see their faces if I called him up and handed them the phone....;-)
