I ran into one of those scams when I was looking for a puppy. Its a good thing I didnt want to have a puppy shipped to me overseas...the thought did not sit well with me. The ad attracted me because they were asking for only $400. I didnt know it was a scam until months later. Oprah had an episode about scams and Nigera came up. They didnt talk about the puppy scams but the other ones were just as bad. Here is the email I received back in september:

Dear Karla Jones,

Thanks for interests,sure the Puppy still available for sale,the puppy health is %100 OK! (+1 year health Guarantee), 1st shots,13 weeks older, AKC registered, de-wormed,de-clawed.

All of her documents are upto date.

Due to the nature of my job & my religion,i am a pastor that works for pastor chris oyakilome and i work for him part-termly & also i am into international contracts (sales and supply of Fabrics) and due to the i am going to jerusalem by 2 next-week and puppies are not allowed over there because she may not be taking care of very well,so i decide to sell her but now i'm in Nigeria, the puppy is also here with me and because there is nobody to take good care of the puppy for me here, so I decided to sell the puppy. So if you are interested let me know by forwarding your full name and address so that i can arrange for the shipping and i want you to promise good care of the baby and you will keep me update with current pics. Puppy will be deliver nextday after shipping, with express shipping service.

I await a reply from you.
