THEY ARE SOCIALIZE WITH KIDS AND OTHER PETS. THEY LOVE TO PLAY. THEY HOUSE TRAINED.THEY ARE ALSO REGISTERED WITH AKC CLUB.THEY VET CHECKED UPTO DATES AND COMES WITH PAPER WORKS. THEY ARE 10 WEEKS OLD.THE FEMALE WILL GET TO 4.5LBS FULL GROWN WHILE, THE MALE WILL GET TO 5LBS FULL GROWN. THE DAD IS 5.5LBS WHILE THE MOM IS 5LBS. WELL, IT WILL COST YOU TO $200 TO SHIP ONE PUPPY TO YOUR LOCATION. BUT IF YOU ARE BUYING THE TWO PUPPIES. I WILL SHIP THEM IN ONE CRATE FOR $300. THAT IS TO SAY ONE PUP WITH SHIPPING WILL COST YOU $400.WHILE,TWO PUPS WITH SHIPPING WILL COST YOU $700. GO TO ANY GROCERY SHOP AROUND YOU WHERE THEY HAVE WESTERN UNION MONEY TRANSFER AND MAKE PAYMENT . AS SOON AS YOU MAKE PAYMENT YOU. YOU GET BACK TO ME ASAP WITH YOUR CONTROL NUMBER FOR CONFRIMATION. AS SOON AS I CONFRIM YOUR PAYMENT .I START SHIPPING IMMEDAITELY. I have spoken to this person on the phone and he sounded foreign. The only payment he will accept is Western Union. I have pics if anyone is interested in seeing them, or thinks it could be a scam. Please help me!!!!!! It just sounds too good to be true! |
I wouldnt do it, It deffinatly sounds like a scam to me! Just to see what he says ask him if you could come and look at them first and pick them up personaly. If he has some sort of excuse you'll know. Plus the first sign that its a scam is his grammer. Just be carefull, It smells very fishy to me. :( |
This definetly smells like a scam to me. Are they shipping the pups from out of the country? I wouldn't trust anything that sounds too good to be true. Here's a thread where we were in contact with a scammer to scam them! http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/showthread.php?t=39127 There are plenty of good breeders here and I'm sure if this is a scam someone here will be able to direct you to the right place to get your furbaby. Good Luck! :) :thumbup: |

This is a scam dont do it |
This guy is supposedly in California. When he answered the phone he said "Hello? Are you interested in the puppies?" before I even had a chance to say anything. Here is his info: NAME....................Adrian Ramirez Address:................114 N Curtis Ave City;.......................Alhambra, State...................... california Zip code.................. 91801 |
We need the "SCAM BUSTERS". |
Where did you find his ad? What is the area code of his tel. number? |
Hmmmm... Sounds way off to me. I wouldn't send any money without an escrow service. There are escrow services for pets that hold your money until your pet has arrived and everyone is happy. It's insurance for the seller and the buyer. If you're looking into shipping, I would check into this. |
Call information "0" or 411 and verify the address and phone # and the name he wants you to send the $ too. That can usually tell you because most scammers wont use their listed address and phone#. That what I did and found out some of the phone#'s wern't even in the same state!!! good luck |
He gave me his address and his phone number is: 619-374-7807 |
I just sent an e-mail to see if he would accept escrow. |
I wouldn't do it...I was almost sucked in by the same thing. How much is he asking for the pups? I would definitely ask him if you can come by and look at them in person and make payment then. Even if you are far away, just tell him, you'll make the trip. See what he says. I was uncomfortable with one lady because of the grammer (same as your post) and also she said to immediately go to a western union, send payment and she would ship her out immediately. So I emailed her that I would prefer to make payment in person and see the parents....Never heard anything back..... Please, please, please, be very careful. There was even one that was located just south of me and when I asked if I could come down and look at them, she responded that the puppies weren't with her. she was south of me but the puppies were in a different country!! I hate to say it but it smells like scam. |
