My parents spent £1,100 on a purebred Maltese – what they got was a terrible wannabe

A WOMAN has shared how her parents forked out £1,100 for a purebred Maltese only to discover they had fallen victims to a scam. The TikToker explained her parents thought they made a good choice with the popular dog breed- but their pup turned out to be something completely different.

Some TikTokers were quick to note that the dog is cute even if it’s not a purebred while others shared their scam stories. One said: “never buy a small dog.” Someone added: “He lookin pretty cool tho.” A TikToker said: “my friend’s dad paid the same amount for “pure bred pit bulls” and after a few years they’re the most braindead goofy dogs ever. definitely not pure.” The woman defended the new addition to the family and said: “he might b a lil crispy but he’s still my baby.” Another couple paid £1,800 for a purebred Pomeranian only to discover they were scammed in the sale. A Brit family was left thousands out of pocket when they bought two Pomeranians online – and fell for a Russian import scam. One woman was also left stunned when she realised her purebred £1.7k goldendoodle puppy was not what its papers claimed it was. And another pet lover told how she bought a £3k purebred French bulldog puppy – which grew up to look shockingly different too.
