RALEIGH, NC  -  Online shopping has made it more convenient for consumers to shop from home for gifts for the holidays in addition to everyday items. Unfortunately, along with the convenience of online shopping comes possible scams and an abundance of businesses to purchase from that may be untrustworthy.

One online store BBB ( Better Business Bureau )warns consumers about in their November Consumer Alerts is ThePerchStore.net. ThePerchStore.net is an online pet supply store claiming to be located at a Raleigh address. The store sells items including cages, cleaning supplies, and toys on their Web site.
