Oakland officials this week warned residents of a new scam targeting people who have posted their lost animals on social media.
People who have posted lost animals online have been contacted by a person who claims to be an employee of Oakland Animal Services, city officials said in an advisory Wednesday.
Oakland officials urged members of the community to share information about the scam with friends and family to warn people about it. According to city officials, the OAS would ask the potential owner to come to its facility about a lost pet and confirm the animal is theirs, and that it would never ask for payment over the phone
