Chinese con-men pose as
Sirius donation collectors

IN September 2008 the news broke - Chinese con-men were discovered to be using the name of Sirius GAO and fraudulently collecting money. The fraudsters were operating from within China, offering to export dogs to the West for a price. Regardless of their fake documents, these con-men were not connected to Sirius in any way and Sirius put out an immediate bulletin asking citizens "please don't give them a cent"!

There is no doubt that if these men found the scam lucrative they will still be looking for victims. If they are found out in one country or state they tend to just roll over to the next one. If such a person comes to your door and you are in doubt about them, please contact Sirius. If you go to the website you can choose the contact who is nearest to your country: http://sirius.2kat.net/emails.html
