| Oh Good Grief, I asked for assurance they weren't "scammers" and this what I receive. I really hate this crap~ hello , she will be micro chipped, i do not want any difficulties when she is on flights. she is 14 weeks old now. she has all her papers . she has a very good temperament , she love kids and other pets. she is house trained, she really knows how to behave at home. she is potty trained too.well as for the price, i am not adopting her that she cost 200., i bought her when she was 4weeks old for 2000.00 and i love her so much that i give her everything the best training. she has never felt sick before , she has all her vaccines and shots. i always sleep with her on bed. she is so cool and very clean. the problem started when i got transfered here to Hambu rg Germany were she will be coming from, i am so tight up at work, i have less time to spend with her,can you imagine i cant spend more 20mins with her and it is because of the love i have for her that i want to get her a good home. i cannot be living with her when she is always lonely. i believe that when i will get a stand, i will look for another nice puppy. it is very difficult for me to get her a home if i want to sell her because it will delay so i decided to let her for free just to make sure everything is alright with her. i could not get her a home here because the people here are not caring and they can't look after her,so i believe back in my country will be preferable. so all you will need to assist me with is the 200 i am asking which will help me complete the flight to send her to you. i really appreciate your help to take her and i hope you love and care for her as much more as i do. i know you will do it because baby is a sweet puppy. well as soon as you have the money and still interested then,below is the attachment of pics i will be waiting to read from you. |

| You should email them and ask what breed is the puppy. I bet they have so many ads out that they dont even know which one you responded to. Plus they dont even ask a question about you, just "When do you want it"? That screams scam. |

| 100% scam! Those are all over the las vegas craigs list too. I got annoiyed with seeing them so much so I pretended to be an interested buyer... as soon as I told her I was interested she told me I could send the money right now and she would put my dog on a plan as soon as she recieved it. This one was a missionary and the dog was in some asian country. I asked her if she was currently with the dog and she said yes. then I said "they why is you IP address on your computer showing up as in the United states?" and they said "oh well im currently on bussiness in new york "then i said arent you a missionary?" and they said yes, but this was a different job... lol then I said, "You do realize that I can pin point your exact location and streer address... STOP SCAMMING PEOPLE YOU JERK" lol i got no response... But it was entertaining to see he/she trip over there words. Last edited by kelsie123186; 06-16-2007 at 08:59 PM. |
