Scammer Hello
Puppy Looker Me: My name is ******** and I live in *******, La. I am the proud owner of a 12 yr old chow named Bree and a 9 yr old chow named Smokey. I have wanted an English bulldog since I was a little girl but as I got older and really started researching them I thought it was best to wait until I was out of college and established before I really started trying to find one. I know that they require alot of affection and attention and when I was in nursing school time was not on my side and I knew that I would not be able to provide an English bulldog with the love and attention it would require to be happy. I am married with two boys 15 yrs old and 10 yrs old and we all love pets. We live on 10 acres so our babies have plenty of room to stretch their legs. I am interested in adding a new member to my family not interested in commercial reasons at all. When our chows were younger they went on outings with the family all the time but now that they are older it is alot harder for them to

Scam Story Adam Wales, email of adamswales990@gmail.com inquired about my advertisement for BL puppies on the web. Said he would send cashiers check. Said he lived in Nova Scotia. Wanted a male. I sent him pictures. He said when I receive the cashier's check, notify him and someone will come pick up the dog. Four days letter UPS delivers a cashiers check for $3,800. the asking price was $1,500. I called the bank the check was drawn on and they said it was fraudulent. I scanned it and sent the check to the bank and they confirmed the check was fraudulent . Adam also had a delivery service, JOHN MELTROSE of AIM LAKESHIPPER who wanted me to contact them to have them come pick up the puppy. They got nothing, I got a bad cashier's check and the puppies will rest well tonight where they belong. He is still doing this and others should beware.
From Scammer Thanks for the mail and your interest toward our puppies. They are
From Puppy Looker I Googled free Great Dane Puppies. I was emiled back by someone claiming to be in London for his Grandmothers funeral. He/she kept emailing me and telling me in 4-hours he could ship me a puppy and since his add said free he asked if I could pay 900 pounds. Or how much was I willing to pay. I had my doubts right away and send an email telling him I had found a local breeder etc. I was about to be scammed and reported it to the Trade Commissioner as a complaint. Don't look for Free any thing especially a pure bred ever ever. I was actually very scared because my email included my office address. Do not use your email have another email set up when looking to communicate on the internet. ______________________________ For more information about the puppies contact us via only for lovely and caring homes.they come with all their health papers and they will fill your home with love and attention. Hello , With all the information above,i would be able to know more about you ME (FALLEN FOR SCAM), Afternoon Mavis, Thank you very much for your reply. To answer your every valid questions, I can see that you are very much an animal lover as are my wife and I, I can also see our new family addition, our baby girl, has inherited this trait from us as well as she loves our 3 cats, but, unfortunately, the feeling in not mutual as they always scurry away and this is why I need a more tolerant companion for her. As can be seen in my reply, I am married and have been happily for 3 years now, my wife and I have been together for 10 years and have copied my wife in on the mail as well. Reasons for me wanting a puppy is it will be my baby girls birthday on the 2nd December, she is turning 1 and would love for her to grow up with a loving companion and protector, additionally, we have just bought a house with a huge garden and at times feel edgy with noises. Both my wife and I have fulltime jobs as is needed now days to run a household as well as providing the best for our baby girl, however, our girl is at home everyday with our domestic, she have been with us for 10 years, additionally, with this being said, we are home at latest 15:00 everyday so as to spend as much time with our baby girl and hopefully her new friends, I am 30 and my wife 27 and are Christians, we are not party people and spend all our time at home or visiting my wife parents next door swimming and playing with their dogs. We are also not going on holiday this December either and will be home for the full month so as to welcome our new friends and help them settle. I originally was only looking for 1 puppy, BUT, my heart turned to jelly when looking for a puppy and most adverts said there were 2 puppies, brother and sister who were very close, and I thought I could not break them apart, so yes, if they are both up for adoption, I would prefer to take them both. Please could you attach the pictures as they did not come through on your mail I hope I have answered all your questions Looking forward to you reply. SCAMMER, Hello dear, Your Full Names Your City Your Home Address Your Post Code Your Phone Number Well everything will cost you just R1500 with delivery fee inclusive. if that Awaiting your respond Regards ME (REALIZING SCAMMER), Good morning Mavis, Thank you for your reply, he looks so cute and gorgeous, I must however ,if I may, please ask a few questions. You mentioned there were two puppies? Do you have pictures of both puppies together? Before I go into questions, I have to ask the below to qualify In this day in age, fraud is rife and I would like to know if payment can be effective after delivery. I work in the internet and security fraud department at Standard Bank and trace these things on a daily basis to catch fraudsters, scrutinize everything in the process as there are so many instances were these things happen and if this has stemmed down to animal fraud „trafficking‰ then I do not know where this world is going to. Can I have you permission to trace this email address for the signed up user? When looking for the puppies I specifically searched for Gauteng Johannesburg location and was linked to your advert amongst others, with a map directing me to the Alberton aria where I would travel to to collect and shake hands, now, you mention a compound in Botswana, additionally, the posting is for free adoption. 98% of detected and investigated internet and mail fraud advertise free handling, adoption, ect. And mention that they are Christians as well, I am sorry but I have been trained in this and my flag is raised instantly. I am familiar with the Animal Welfare act. Registration and deliver I do know come at a costs as I was also linked to Labrador puppies in newcastle for R 2000 .00. I have no problem with paying but I must have them in my hands first I do apologies if I am coming across as rude or investigative, I await your response, so as to make my decision now the crickets started sounding and never heard from them again ______________________________ A woman named Elizabeth Jimenez, claimed to have 2 Teacup Yorkies for adoption, because she was leaving where she stayed in Texas to go to England on some missionary work. She claimed to be a pastor, and after we sent her a message of interest in the Yorkies, she emailed us promptly asking a lot of questions. Anyway after that she said she could fly the dogs to us using a charter service. She gave us the number for this company "sSkyline Airfreight Cargo Pet Movers" which we did research on in the better business bureau, which checked out a reputable company. So we trusted her after that. Anyway they asked us to forward payment via Western Union for the dogs to reach to us. Well soon after, they sent us an email stating that they shipped the dogs to Virginia, however we live in the Virgin Islands. We called their number (which was from Nigeria) and they proceeded to tell us that they needed more money for insurance purposes. Anyway after that we immediately realised we had been scammed and I hope this does not happen to any one else. ______________________________ Greetings There, ______________________________ Hello,I am happy to know that you are interested in providing a home for abulldog puppy. We still have 3 puppies available so pleasesee them on out web page Kelly Bulldog Puppies.com.

Even his intelligence is sometimes questioned. Hisnatural protectiveness is probably ______________________________ Hello, thank for the mail regarding my babies. I am totally dedicated to my puppies, they share my home with us and are considered family before anything else. My puppies are raised in our home, under foot and showered with lot of love and attention every day. My babies are born into our hands. We don't breed them because of the health issues they can have. But we do have them from time to time. All of my babies are well socialized, family-loved, and receive lots of individual care from the time they are born into my hands until they go home into your arms. All of my babies receive regular vet check-ups and will have received the appropriate vaccinations for their age. My babies receive de-worming at 2-4-6-8- and 10 weeks. I provide complete medical records and a year written health guarantee. We want our â??Babiesâ? to go to loving homes where they will be pampered and receive all the care and attention they deserve.

After receiving a call via relay for the hearing impaired, I was asked to send more pictures of my puppies. The following e-mail is what I received in return.

Me My name is Melissa. I am located in Illinois, in a small town. I have had a pekingese puppy before. He was born in 1998 and he passed away in 2003 from an air borne disease. Actually, all the dogs in our neighbor contracted it. His name was Prince and he was great in everyway. He was well known at the Vet and groomers. I am a very God loving person and my daughter is in school for Ministry. I have no small children just me and my husband. Our jobs are different shifts, and one of us will always be home. we have a fenced in yard, so be assured the puppy will have room to play and people to love.
From Scammer Thanks for the mail.I knew that by the grace of God our babies were going to make it into a caring home.The laws here in Spain are quite different from the laws in the states and so the transfer of ownership papers must be done here if not the Spanish custom authorities at the airport will not allow the puppy to to be shipped out of Spain .We are willing to separate the puppies if you only want one.I will be shipping from the Barcelona international airport.All we will need is the change of ownership papers and so we can book a flight for any of the puppies. The certificate for the change of ownership is a legal document that certifies that the puppies have been transferred to your ownership and care.The change of ownership papers will cost $50 for each and $100 for both.If you are ready we can have the papers done today and so we have any ship to you by evening or tomorrow morning depending on when the papers will be signed at the ministry of Livestock and Animals Trans We will require the following information and so we can fill on the transfer of ownership papers: -your full names .We will use the Delta Cargo or air Europa Cargo because there are very efficient in pets transportation and they always insure pets before shipping .They also offers home delivery services but you will have to pay an extra $50 if you will want the puppy to be delivered to your door steps.They also have well trained vet specialist that will take proper care of pets during flight.As soon as you are ready to wire the money let me know and so we can have things started .You can call me using my universal satellite cell phone number +2288475919 cal the number just as it appears making sure you include the + sign. We hope to read from you.God bless you
We are happy to read from you again.We knew from our prayers that God was going to make a good choice for Babies.We are happy to read from you once more.we have attached pictures of Brandon and Skylie to this mail.We are also very happy to know that you are pet lovers and can take good care of our puppies,we were just scared because we have read about some Be strong in prayers and Hold firmly to your faith and Jesus Christ will always guide you through.

Please diregard the first email with the information i make a mistake typing.so i resend the email again.Thanks very much for the understanding.Robin. ______________________________ I contacted a person who was selling puppies on the internet on a local web site. And I asked if they were local that I can come and see them. They said No and they referred me to the web site www.lovelypuppies.co.cc I talked to a person called "Tony" This is the first of many emails I received from him: "hello,
I have kept ALL emails from him and that I sent to him. I did some searches and and checked with the Better Business Bureau and found nothing. So I made a decision to go with them. They were booking the shipping with their shipper "Crown Pet Shippers" I have kept all those emails also. Where I went wrong was I trusted him, BIG mistake I believe. I wanted to make my payment on Visa cause then I had some insurance and oh their visa machine was down, "Please do it by Western Union. Send it to the following:
PAYMENT ADDRESS: AND then I find out it was to go to Cameroon. Never hearing about that place before I assumed (will never do again) it was another city. Hooked, they had me. I transferred $350 plus admin fees. The Puppy was on her way HAHA Received an email then that they needed $1015.00 for insurance but I will get the full amount back when the yorkie is delivered to my house. I questioned myself, I questioned the prior owner Tony, I questioned the shipper. If I didn't send it the pup would be put into quarantine for 6 months. I buckled and sent the money again to Cameroon. The puppy gets to South Dakota and his vaccines were not up to date to come into Canada. They want another $645.00 I said, "No I'm done". That is the responsibility of Tony. I contacted Tony and he says he went out and paid that and the puppy was on her way. "Dear XXXXXX, With heart felt feelings we wish to inform you that your puppy passed away today afternoon. The dog caught a deadly disease because the vaccines that were administered became less effective due to the long stay at our services. We are really sorry about this, but according to our rules and regulations, we will have to refund all the money you spent with an extra compensation for the lost of your puppy. We will be having a board meeting in regards to your refunds. Expect and e-mail or call from our refunds department soonest. We extend our condolences for the lost of your puppy (Tag: DIVA). THANKS FOR USING OUR SERVICES" End letter... I have received a refund Proposal from them and because the puppy had passed away they will send me $11,500.00 . BUT I had to read their terms and conditions make any changes and get back to them. Most of the conditions were fine except: I changed those conditions and emailed them back . I got a phone call saying "NO YOU HAVE TO FOLLOW ALL CONDITIONS OR NO MONEY" So it is their way or no way! DON'T fall for those cute puppies buy one in your area that you can go and See! Pay a little more and get a REAL puppy. This scam story was sent to Dog Breed Info. For those of you reading this, there was no puppy. This was a common scam. Do not fall for it.
Buyer I was also scammed by the same EBIAKASE JOHNSON from CAMEROON who works with the SMALL DOGS PET CARRIER CARGO agency. I didn't realize it was a scam till they called and needed $1000 dollars for a "city permit" to allow the dog to be sent from one city to mine. Then I knew it was a scam. He got $700 dollars from me and my wife but I'm working on getting it back. I've filed a western union fraud report, a police report, a report on the website I found it on, and I told their service provider which is "INFOSERVE" about this scam about "REFUNDABLE INSURANCE". I constantly email them and call them waiting for them to slip up so I can have them caught. I have done a reverse phone number lookup which is their CUSTOMER SERVICE number and I found it to be in NEBRASKA on a land line. I am spreading the word about this scam and there are many warning signs that you must watch out for so you wont be a victim like me. These are the warnings: These are major warning signs that are common with pet scams based out of NIGERIA and CAMEROON. I hope the word spreads about these pet scams so these people can be brought to justice. Anyone who reads my story, please spread the word.
From Scammer Sender's name: Steve Avans 2nd email: Thanks for the prompt response to my mail.I will be buying the Dog from you 1.Name to be on the payment I am completely satisfied with the advert and the payment will be Steve.
From Scammer From: Amanda Carrie - lilpuppyhome000@yahoo.ca Hi,
Buyer Subject: Re: TINY YORKIE PUPPIES
Thank you for emailing me back so quickly... They are absolutely adorable and we're very interested in the girl. We looked all over Houston today for a puppy with no success. We thought we had found one but was later told that she had a skin condition and was spoken for. I'm not sure if we would get both but feel horrible if we would have to separate them, so we're weighing the option. How soon do you need an answer? We are a very close nit family, who will welcome them into our home as family members. When my oldest daughter was around 8 or so we had a Terrier/Mutt Mix (T-Gray) and he use to sleep in the bed with her and he was so much a part of our family until he ran away being in heat. Back then they didn't micro chip puppies and if anyone had ever found him they never called. She cried for weeks and we missed him terribly. We still talk about T-Gray which led us to looking again because now my younger daughter who turned 7 today, really wants a puppy and has demonstrated that she's ready by walking, playing and picking up after our neighbors dog from time to time. We didn't want to bring a puppy into our home if everyone wasn't ready for the responsibilities. So that's where we are... I hope I have answered your question and have put you at ease. We would love to have Barbie and I'm really considering Minie. I just want to make sure that we can responsibly care for two.
From Scammer From: "Amanda Carrie" - lilpuppyhome000@yahoo.ca Hello, I am impressed with the information you have provided about your home ______________________________ Scam Story I was looking in the public opinion for two English Bulldog puppies when I came across an ad by a woman who said she was from CA and that she was a volintary teacher for the deaf and the blind that was transfered to cameroon douala. She goes by the name Rose Kumalo. She told me that you had to be a christian and have kids. She has an assistant named Pryde and Hanson. She told me these puppies where stuck in France and she needed more money. I sent $150.00 the first time and $250.00 the second time due to her saying they where stuck in France. I lost a total of $400. She was still demanding $50.00 untill I cut ties with her. I contacted Chambersburg State Police and pretty much they couldn't do anything. I contacted public opinion to tell them what happened and nothing. They never called me last Monday like they where supose to. ______________________________ From Scammer Thanks for your interest in my maltese puppies .i still have one female maltese and one male ready for
Buyer Can you give me the details as to where I would need to go on the website for payment? I live in CA so unfortunately I cant meet you in person.
From Scammer hello. i will use this to register the pups or pup at the delivery agency for delivery to you. so it is the delivery agency that will mail you on how t pay for the delivery and also every single detail concerning delivery to you as delivery will be at your door step. regards ______________________________ Buyer I was almost scammed in the exact same way as the other dog lovers. My roommates and I replied to a post about a 10 week old boxer puppy. There was no price with the puppy so I sent an email requesting some information and I was sent back an email that said that Moore Lakins lived in Georgia but was currently working in Florida and didn't have time for his "precious" puppy named Dely, he also sent me pictures and everything else that all of these other people received. I was hesitant when I received the very sketchy email this morning from the "SMALL DOGS PETS CARRIER CARGO" company telling us where to transfer the money and WESTERN UNION was the only line that was in bold, capitalized letters. I was given the "doctors" contact information and I Googled the name EBIAKASE JOHNSON and was sent to this site learning that it was a pretty big scam. I feel really stupid that we could have even begun to believe this, but from the way it looks we're definitely not alone. I feel so bad for everyone else that tried to do what we did out of the goodness of our hearts and was taken advantage of. Hopefully more people can read this and get the word out so it stops happening and these people are caught. ______________________________ Buyer Yes I bit but they didn`t get money. The ad was for a Havanese puppy for rehoming. I e-mailed back and was told she didn`t have time for the puppy. Her job was in Seattle Washington but her home was in Winter Haven Florida. Traveled a lot with new job as an auditor. She arranged with shipping company, they contacted me only by e-mail at first then made one call to me. I told the man I would only do cash on delivery, he hung up on me. puppy was to be AKC, come with air condition crate, food, toys etc. The lady only e-mailed me. She said she didn`t have a home phone and her cell wasn`t working. Finally on the last contact she gave me a phone number, Surprise, it was a number in Virginia. Shipping company was to be in Seattle Washington and wanted only a Western Union payment sent to a Camroom location. They wouldn`t give me their phone number. When I ask for it the man hung up on me. People Beware. Ladys name was Kim Pauls. Transport name was athing called washingtonpets@live.co ______________________________ Buyer I was just scammed by this man in Cameroon his name is Ebiakase Johnson however his email is Smith.Dickens@live.com. He is "selling" a 10 week old yorkie terrier by the name of Dely and all you have to send is $200. I felt that was a good deal so I sent the money and never received the dog. He says he is in Cameroon on a contract but he was born in Michigan. Please beware THIS MAN IS A CROOK!! ______________________________ Buyer I was online looking for a dog or cat to adopt. We received some strange replies, this supposed Dr. Freedman contacted me, they were advertised on many US, same pics. I received a call from a supposed airport agent wanted me to wire money. I could not even understand or hear him. this game continued, so like a fool I went to wire the money to Cameroon. I checked after emailing them and it said the money was waiting to be picked up still. I was very concerned so I immediately called Western Union and explained. They gave me a number so I could retrieve my money back so I did. If I would have waited, it would have been scammed. I've since seen so many scams, so all be aware. I let them know, more followed, so we are aware what you tools are trying to pull so beware! ______________________________ Buyer I was just a victim of a scam. I was contacted my what I thought was a local breeder but wasn't. The person gave me (ashleymary@gmail.com)a sob story that the guy moved to Nigeria and needed home within the united states. I spoke with him and thought everything was ok. I was wrong. I sent him the $500 and of course i have no dogs and will never get my money back. these are some of emails: From Scammer i was told by the shipping agent that if you can make the payment befor two hour so that the puppies can be shipout with the next flight that will be fly to your location.also i will like to advice that when you get to the local store to make the psyment dont tell them that you are paying or purchasing goods from africa because it wil cost you an extral charges just tell them when you get there that you want to send money to your family or your pastor so that it will not cost you much charges. once more finally am happy that you are about to adopt my puppies and i want you to always keep to your promise by taking a very good care of my puppies as soon as you recieve them Regarding the payment you will be making the payment through any western union local store close to your home directly to the shipping and as soon as the payment is confirmed we will get the puppies shipped to you i will get back to you as soon as the puppies as been shipped out with Reciever's Name----JERRY ROBERT So as soon as you make the payment you will be getting back to me with the information below.

From Scammer hi linda,
Buyer Hello Again, Yes, there is a Western Union here. I have a bit of information for you. I called the Police in Middleboro, Ma, because the address that you gave for your vet sent smoke signals. There is no such person in Mass by that name. the address for the vet that you gave me to western union the money to is a hotel. While you researching bogus information to give me. I was researching legitimate information. Therefore, keep the pictures of Baylloyd that you copied from someone else's images. It's people like you that give honest people a BAD name! I pray that you are caught before you scam someone else out of their money that wasn't smart enough to do research. By the Way, I have sent the records of this email to the Middleboro police department see Cc: block. Thank you for the entertainment!
Buyer After reading our local newspaper (from a very small town), I sent an email regarding 2 Yorkshire Terrier Puppies that were listed as free. The email went to revtonybrown@gmail.com. And I am so thankful that I found your sight showing all of the different stories of what happened to other people. The first email from the seller asked for my personal info (name, address & phn) they wanted the closest airport to me I gave two airports in two different towns. So the second email said that the puppies could be mine all I had to pay was the shipping. But since they knew that I would take good care of their "babies" that they would pay $350 and that I would just need to pay $600. I told them that I couldn't afford it and they counter offered to pay all but $50. ______________________________ Buyer I sent $350.00 for a teacup yorkie and had contact with david.howard12@yahoo.com and we sent $350.00 western union and was promised a puppy and went to the airport to retrieve the puppy and she was not there when we got home to find out that I had received a email requesting more money and that we was not going to be getting a puppy. I had originally had found this add in the daily paper. ______________________________ Buyer I was scammed for two yorkie puppies that were suppose to be free. The ad was in our local newspaper. I e-mailed sam.leonards01@googlemail.com. Got this message from The House of the Lord. Same pitiful story about them being missionaries and the weather being bad in Nigeria. I felt sorry for the dogs and not knowing of this kinda of scam I went through with the deal. But they kept coming for more money. feranadzpetdelivery@expressivemail.com said I needed money for shipping taxes in London. The whole deal cost me$1600 for free puppies I never received. Do you know that about every week or so the newspaper runs ads for puppies that are from this Nigerian scam group.I check them out and call the paper every time to get it taken out. I hope I can save some other person from these people. ______________________________ Buyer I was on the verge of being scammed. This would have been the second time. I was looking for a teacup puppy online and seen an ad. I emailed the lady about the teacup yorkie puppies and she emailed me back telling me that she had already sold the puppies, but I emailed her just in time because the person she sold them to was unable to care for them anymore because she was doing missionary work in West Africa. She told me to email the lady and tell her that she referred me to her, but I had second thoughts about it so I did not email her. But a day later I had received an email from the lady in West Africa. She first emailed me saying.. From Scammer Hello Buyer I did not reply, and two days later she emailed me again. so I replied. Here is our conversation.. From Scammer Lisa Smith reverendlysasmith@gmail.com; wrote: $400 for both puppies Buyer On 7/20/08, I wrote: From Scammer Lisa Smith reverendlysasmith@gmail.com; wrote: Buyer On 7/20/08, I wrote: From Scammer Lisa Smith reverendlysasmith@gmail.com; wrote: Buyer On 7/20/08, I wrote: From Scammer Lisa Smith reverendlysasmith@gmail.com; wrote: Buyer On 7/20/08, I wrote: From Scammer Lisa Smith reverendlysasmith@gmail.com; wrote: Buyer She never emailed me back after that. Afterwords, I decided to do a little investigation and googled; Reverend Lisa Smith in West Africa; and I found out that she has scammed many people, so I decided to tell my story also. ______________________________ Buyer I did a search for Kentucky English bulldogs and was shown a Kentucky.com site which took me to Lexington Herold adds (newpaper) I emailed several people getting one back who said he had no more pups but he knew a reverend who was in Africa doing mission work who had to get rid of her English bulldog pups because she was too busy doing work with her church and he gave me her email address revmrsslisasmith@aol.com. I emailed her and she emailed me back saying she had two pups left one male one female and sent pics. She said her church wanted her to give the pups free so all I needed to do was pay shipping charges $400. and sent gave me a name Sandra and Sandra's email address xandriakretschmer@yahoo.com as well as the woman's adress 5450 Monterey Rd San Jose, Ca 95111 saying to contact her for a refeence. I did and of course this Sandra gave Lisa a great reference. Lisa sent me the information to money gram her the money to Nigera. Her name was Lisa Smith. After I sent the money she called me saying that she had discovered that she needed a shipping crate to ship the pup and that she would try to get one then she calls me a day later saying that I would need to send her $300 so she could buy crate. I told her I didn't have it and she said she could see if anyone at her church would give her money. She called me back saying she could only get $100 and that I needed to see about getting the rest. I was already sure by now that it was a scam. I told her I could not get the money and that either she find a way to send pup or give me my money back. She called me two or three more times trying to get money from me even having a man who was supposedly her travel agent trying to get me to send the money. I told them no thta I just wanted my money back and I emailed Lisa Smith telling her tnat either I get my money back or I would go to the police and of course, I haven't heard from her again. Now I am out $400 and I wanted to warn people even though if they are like me they aren't going to think to look up scams before looking to buy a dog. ___________________________ I inquired on a Maltese late yesterday afternoon. This morning, I had received a response, and I replied. After the second email, I began getting curious. The gentleman was a little too eager to give up his "baby". When he called, he was insistent upon the "shipping fee" from Nigeria to my home in Portland, but was not concerned about the other $200 in "adoption fees". I had also checked my computer for the time zones and current time in Lagos, and his response when I asked him what time it was turned out to be 2 hours shy of the time showing on the World Clock. Fortunately, I had the excuse of "My Husband said he is not comfortable sending money for something he can't physically pick up today" left in my back pocket! The correspondence went as followed... Buyer Do you still have the Maltese advertised in the Oregonian? If so, can you provide more details? My father has recently retired and is looking for a new friend. He has expressed interest in a puppy since our family Sheltie died of old age 10 years ago, but hasn't put any effort into finding one. He was still working and was afraid he wouldn't be able to give a puppy enough attention. Thank you. From Scammer Hello , MARK JEFFERSON. Buyer Mark, Thank you for getting back to me. Yes, we would provide your baby with a very good home. We are an old farming family, and we value our pets as "children". At the moment, my parents have two indoor cats who rule the house! We have a few pets of our own who are also treated with great care. Does your little girl have a name? How is she handling the traveling? In our family, we do a lot together, so we would carry her in our Land Rover with our 5 year old Westie when we travel back and forth to the Coast and between my parents' house in Eugene and our house in Vancouver, WA. I will have to talk to my husband about spending this type of money, though, before I can make a definite commitment. Are you okay with giving me a couple of days to do this? Do you know how long it will take to ship her? Regards,
From Scammer Hello Christina, Thanks for your mail, am so glad to hear from you.and i want you to know that her name is dammy and the shipping is going to take 24hr for her to get there so i will like you to get back to me with your full name home address and the nearest airport to your home so that we can get her ready for shipment to your location ASAP.... so if you can make the payment today you will receive her tommorow mouring at the airport and after she is being ship out here i will mail you all her flight detail's and her tracking number that you will use in picking her up at the airport. Thanks and God bless.
Buyer Mark, I am typing with my sister (she lives in Bakersfield, CA) about the pup. We are trying to see if we have the money to have her shipped right away. At the time being, I could cover one or the other without too much trouble, but both the shipping and the cost of the baby would be hard on our pocketbook this payday (darn cost of gas keeps pushing up the price of groceries!) and would not be something I can do until next payday, which is the 20th. I am checking to see if my sister wants to help me buy her for Dad. Thank you for your patience!
Buyer Mark, I'm sorry. I keep forgetting to put in my phone number. I have my cell phone with me today, if you would like to speak with me. It is (XXX) XXX-XXX. We live in Vancouver, so our closest International Airport is PDX (Portland International) in Portland, OR. Chris

I answered an ad in the Washington Post about an ad for an English Bulldog. Here's the email exchange: Me: Do you have any puppies left? Age? M/F? Pictures? Thanks! Response from Mike Stead [steadm97@yahoo.com]: Hello, His name is Evangelist Mac cleans, he called me that he had been transfered to West africa on a His commitment to the work of God could not enable him to stay with the puppies often according to his, he will provide the shipping agent to have the puppies shipped back to you and you will only be paying for he will be very much delightfull to hear from you, so as to have this puppies shipped to you asap. he requested, a caring and loving parent for his babies and i am so sure he will be so excited if he knows Me: If I see some photos, get information as to age, health, etc. and am contacted directly by your previous customer I will consider handling this without seeing them. Thanks, His response: Thanks for the mail,I want you to contact him asap he will supply with all details you need. I didn't respond after that. I read about similar scams on this site. Watch out Virginia Marylany & D.C.! _________________________________ Buyer I recently answered an add from a man regarding the adoption of his female yorkie. I asked ALOT of questions and he sounded like he was legitate, he said it would only cost me $130.00 dollars to get her here and he would take care of the rest. I sent him the money via money gram. Then I eceived another from I'm guessing a fake email address or someone linked to him continetal airlines But there was no logo or lonk attache which I found suspicious he neede 450.00 more dollars to send he for insurance and crate insurance. I told him I didn't have the money. And he insisted I send it so she could come to a good home, I still told him I didn't have it. I was then sent an email from someone else claiming that they were going to report me to the police for trying to buy a dog online, I then told them I contacte the local police and a lawyer. They told me that they wanted my lawyers name and information. I'm still getting emails from this person claiming theyare going to report me, what the heck are they going to report me for they are the one's who took my money!
Bulldog Scam About two months ago I went online to search for an English Bulldog. I found one that I liked and it was surprisingly cheap. I was told that I would only need the send $180. I sent the $180 for the puppy then I was told to send $420. I sent the $420 also because I knew that those dogs were expensive. Then I was told of another charge of $350 so I paid that also. Then after that I was told to send I think $3000. That's where I drew the line and knew I made a mistake. I was told I wouldn't ever get the money I sent back. _________________________________ Buyer I was almost scammed similar to the other stories I read. _________________________________ We were looking for another puppy in the adds and found the one below. We almost fell for it before doing a lot of research I decided to be on the cautious side. Buyer Hi there, Kind regards, Response from Seller Calvary greetings to you, Thanks for your interest in my lovely baby and . She is still very much available for new home.She is 11 weeks old,she will be 5lbs at full grown and she weigh 2lbs presently and She is AKC registered and her shots are given up to date,she is vet checked and potty trained.All her papers will accompany her, But right now i am in africa on a Christain mission with my wife and we have her right here with us.We are going to ship her to you via Express pets delivery on next day delivery after shippment through a shipping agent , i am leaving her for $250Including shipping.If you are interested in having her, i want you to get back to me with your full name,address including the nearest airport to you.Please if you know that you are not going to take very good care of my baby do not reply me because i am only giving her out becuase we dont have time to take care of her again due to the mission work before us here.Await your response. Thanks Buyer Thanks for your quick response! We are definitely interested in your puppy! I assure you that we will take great care of your puppy--our current dog is pretty much our child and we would treat your little girl the same! I am not sure when you can send her, but if we were able to pick her up from the airport on Friday around 6pm or after that would be fantastic (that way we have the next four days off work to spend with her and help her adjust to her new home!) If not, we can do our best to be flexible with you. The nearest airport is Phoenix Sky Harbor Airport.
A few quick questions: How would you like your payment of $250? Also, what brand of food are you currently feeding her? I'd like to make sure that I have the same kind on hand for her prior to her arrival! We have also never picked up an animal from the airport, so a bit of direction as to what to do would be helpful.
I very much look forward to hearing from you. Thank you for everything!
laims Elkunuba and palp so for better feeding the puppy will be
accompany Thanks Buyer Thanks for all the great information! We are ready to pay ASAP, but I was a bit confused though if you are going to give me your account number for me to transfer the money to or if the shipping agent will be contacting us about the payment method. Either way, let me know and I will take care of it right away.
I'll make sure to send you updates and pictures through e-mail, that way you can still see your puppy, even though she is with us! I can't imagine how much worry you are filled with trying to find a good home. It is truly scary, some of the things you hear about pet owners these days.
One more quick question, will she be coming with a crate? I'd like to make sure we are prepared for her ride home (luckily only about 15 minutes away from the airport!) And thanks for the food samples, that will definitely help!
I look forward to everything. Thanks again!
--Ashlee Response from Seller Thanks for your response i want you to know that am so happy to read back from you and i want you to know that she will be accompany along with her crate and all her health document including the food samples so below is the shipping agent payment information which you will need to make the payment through western union money transfer and as soon as the puppy is shipped out i will be getting back to you with the flight details which you will need to pick her up at the airport.

_________________________________ Bulldog anyone? I have been interested in buying a English bulldog, and look in the local newspaper's classified ads on a regular basis. I noticed a really cute picture of a bulldog puppy and the price was only $450!!!! I thought it was an unbelievable steal, so I called the phone number listed, and to my disappointment, the number was not a working number. So i then emailed the seller and asked them more info about the puppy, and this is the email I received back: ******** Hello, Thanks for your interest in my lovely baby. She is still very much available for new home.She is 13 weeks old,She is AKC registered and her shots are given up to date.All her papers will accompany her, But right now i am in africa on a Christain mission with my wife and we have her right here with us.we are going to ship her to you via Express pets delivery on next day delivery after shippment through a shipping agent ,The Adoption fee is $200 and shipping is $150 and payment should be made through any western union local store arround you.if you are interested in having her, i want you to get back to me with your full name,address,phone number including the nearest airport to you.Please if you know that you are not going to take very good care of my baby do not reply me becuase i am only giving her out becuase we dont have time to take care of her again due to the mission work before us here.

Not just the internet: "I recently found an ad in my local newspaper regarding the adoption of a English Bulldog. I replied to this ad by using an e-mail address that was given. Janet.morgan00@yahoo.com. Shortly there after I received a e-mail from a George Christian saying that he is a reverend that was sent on a mission in West Africa." ____________________________________________________________________ From a buyer who was ripped off "I purchased a yorkie pup on line 2 weeks ago. After wiring $300 (that included shipping) I was asked for $170 more for a shipping crate which I sent. Next, while waiting at the airport for my pup, I was contacted saying another $150 was needed for insurance. When confronted with my suspicion of fraud, I never heard from this person again and have not received a refund. It was a hard lesson to learn, and, an embarrassing one. I was warned about this kind of scam, but my nature of trusting people made me proceed. I want to continue with my trust of people, but will never purchase like this on line again!"
