| I knew it was scam when I seen this I hadd to see what he was going to say.. It reall bothers me how much they use God to use people... here is the email... First of all, I must thank my living Lord that I found an intending parent for my baby, I also give thanks to the breeder that directed you to me. I`m giving her out for adoption. She is 12 weeks old currently and Akc registered with all her shots are up to date. she is $300 shipping included. I got relocated to west africa recently and could not take care of the baby anymore. I want a great home for her because she is my real baby. The weather here is not conducive for her that is why I want to get her out as soon as possible and I will be very happy if you will be one to take her as your baby. I never wanted to give her out but the weather here in West Africa is not helping matter at all. If you are interested kindly get back to me with your full shipping informations such as the following: Fullname.................. Address................... Phone Number.............. City...................... State..................... Zip Code.................. Nearest Airport........... So that i can forward it to my shipping agent for shipping arrangements to commence pending when payment is made. Get back to me as soon as possible. God Bless You Rev Peter ----- Original Message ----- |

| They don't just do this for pets...they also do it with Avon. I have a Avon website, and get almost the same wording, but they want like 75 bottles of one product and 50 of another...all very expensive stuff. I play with them alittle then block them. |

| It's interesting that he didn't acknowledge the fact that you said there would be no need for shipping......................

| I read an article on MSN news a few months ago saying that this will be the new scam. Remember the emails about transferring money to your account from a person that was deceased and they can't find any living relatives? These are the same people that are going to be sending out the puppy emails! The article said that the scammers are trying to find ways to where people will at least listen to their stories before deleting the email. I'll try to find the article but beware, these emails will be coming out by the masses soon!

| I think this happens with all online ad's. I was selling something on cycletrader.com and i got tons of scams. Also, I had a rental ad on craigslist which got many scams replies as well. Its very sad!

| When I was searching for a yorkie to buy I had THREE of these exact same emails sent to me from supposedly three different people. It's pretty sad! I had a hard time finding a yorkie because of scams like this. I didn't know who to trust or if anyone was really honest. Glad I ended up finding a great person. |
