That's wonderful that it worked out for you. I know that the pictures she posted were taken off of websites. Even the last one she posted saying 'enjoy the picture of Minnie' was from a different puppy ad. I'm guessing she really did have puppies but used pictures of similar ones off the internet because ALL three pictures she posted were from other sellers
I knew they looked familiar and found the last one yesterday while going through the sites I've bookmarked. It gets addictive looking at puppies and you tend to save sites that you think have really cute dogs, just in case. If she had just been honest it would have been a lot easier for her to find buyers. People don't like being lied to, there's too many scammers out there.
Even the scam ads are getting better at hiding and raising their prices so they don't immediately pop out at you. I e-mailed one lady about an $800 puppy, which turned out to be a scam. You have to be very very careful. Luckily, you could go in person. He's a cutie.
