Does absolutely nothing about scams
There are several ""owners"" asking for transactions off-site to rehome pets. This is common pet scam tactic also utilized in places like Craigslist, Kijiji, and Facebook where people will pull photos of popular dog breeds or attractive dogs from social media or Google and try to get people to pay breed-shelter prices (200-400$) under the table for a dog they don't even have, or they'll give you a dog that isn't the one pictured but is from a backyard breeding operation or worse- stolen. I came across a chihuahua named "Rag" listed for adoption that was an obviously catfished photo, using the photo of "Prancer" from an adoption post that went viral a couple years ago. The ""owner"" also listed the dog as black and white, despite Prancer being a golden brown. Even though this was clearly either a scammer, or someone who was using false or inaccurate info, my help emails have gone nowhere and the listing is still up. Once scammers know that nothing is being done about them, they will flock to the website, and listings will gradually become more scams than legitimate posts. This is not only disadvantageous to users, but also makes it harder for an otherwise good concept to be utilized properly and these animals will go unadopted, because the scammers will discourage people from using the site. Getyourpet is a small company that likely got too big, too fast, and is too understaffed to properly handle all the help requests that come in. If nothing is done about this NOW, it has an extremely high chance of completely running this site into the ground. Get your act together, Getyourpet. There are plenty of people unemployed due to the pandemic, you have no excuse for not having enough staff to combat such obvious scams.
