similar story... I had a scammer just like this contact me when I was looking to get my newest addition. Someone had posted on a local houston website about having a "teacup yorkie baby" for free that they couldn't take care of. I wrote them back asking about the dog and they gave me this long letter about how they were "missionaries" in Africa and were there for two weeks and couldn't take care of the puppy due to church work -and GET THIS - that the 11 week old puppy was there in Africa with them, and that they were good Christians and wanted to make sure I was one too and would only charge me $200 for shipping by some made up pets delivery service named PETSEXPRESS and would take payment by Western Union. And have the dog to me the NEXT DAY.
A) I know how long it takes to get an animal through qaurintine in another country and the dog wouldn't even be with them by now.
B) It takes more than overnight to ship a dog from Africa.
C) I hate people that use bieng Christian as a way to scam people into feeling sorry or them or trusting them, that's not a very Christian thing to do last time I checked.
D) I wasn't aware what religion you are was a requirement for owning a dog, lol.
The guy you are posting about sounds like the exact same kind of scam, diff story, same scam. I love all the pets shipping service names these people come up with. These people are all unbelievable!! |
