An alleged puppy scammer who used stolen images to sell pure bred puppies that never existed has been arrested at a home in Sydney's west.
The 27-year-old Oxley Park man was charged with 16 fraud offences on Wednesday after he was targeted for the alleged online puppy scam, which had at least eight victims in NSW, Queensland, Western Australia and the ACT.
Police allege the man used Gumtree and a rescue dog website to advertise pure bred blue Staffordshire bull terriers for around $2700. Legitimate breeders usually sell the dogs for around $3000.
