Help needed , who to contact

Can anyone give me advice as to who to contact re this website to report false advertising?
At present there is a kennel in Scotland who has been found to be making false claims in their advertisements, such an advert has been placed on pets 4 home and many other sites unfortunately. The host of this forum is pets4home. Advert in question is Quality German Shepherd Puppies For Sale in Polmont, Falkirk ( Dogs For Sale )
I cannot find a contact button to report the advert and ask that it be dealt with or removed.
Please help , animals are not health tested and being advertised as such and this kennel does not win at champ shows as they are claiming. Trading standards are investigating at present thanks to the diligence of other exhibitors. This is an extremely important matter.
Thank you

Trading Standards are probably the best way to go, I think. I doubt the RSPCA could get involved, unless the puppies are neglected or frequently ill, but even then, they'd just issue a warning. I hope you have some luck with Trading Standards

other than that, just spread the word about the kennels, make sure everyone knows allllll about their lies

If you have a problem with any post, click on the red triangle on that post and you will be asked to say why you are reporting it. just send a report and someone will assess if they think it needs removing

Thanks appreciated, I'll look at the advert again and see if I can see the red triangle.
You are right its not an RSPCA issue , they sadly have no concern about health checking and I would be dishonest to comment on their kennel set up with the respect of welfare /conditions anyway as we have never been to their establishment. My concern and that of many others involved legitimately in the GSD scene in the UK is with the use of advertising sites to falsely advertise their puppies/stock and mislead the public in order to sell their puppies. I'll check the advert for a red triangle and get back to you.

GSD111 Trading standards are no only ones that will help. Do what I did and put an advert on telling people not to buy and the reason why. I managed to save 3 people from buying once
