The woman, who lives in Rumford, was online shopping when she came across a site advertising two dogs free to a good home.
Once she applied she was asked for fees to cover costs for transportation, insurance and food, totalling more than £400.
A police spokesman said: "She has been left very upset after the whole experience and wants to make sure it does not happen to other people.
"We would like to remind people to be extra vigilant."
