CINCINNATI (FOX19) - Animal rescuers are reporting that hackers are targeting them by taking control of their accounts and using them to scam potential adopters out of money.
Amy Goff runs Fred’s Mission Rescue and Sanctuary, and she said her rescue has been impacted by the scam.
According to Goff, it started when she received a text message from someone who was pretending to be with Petfinder and was asking for information to access the rescue’s account.
