Hi Everyone,
I am new here and am looking for a puppy. I found an ad online from a local newspaper and emailed with questions about the puppy. The reason I am posting here is that this is the responce that I got:
Hello,
Thanks for your interest in my pet. The little puppy is still very much available for adoption. This little girl is potty trained and friendly with children She fit in the palm of your hand.She is AKC registered puppy .Adorable and sociable with great Personalities and very good bloodlines.She vet-checked, up to date on shots and deworming,and are health guaranteed.. All the papers will accompany the puppy,But right now I am in Africa on a Christian mission with my wife and we have the puppy right here with us.we are going to ship to you via express delivery on next day delivery after shipment through a shipping agent,so if you are interested in having the puppy, I want you to get back to me with your fullname, address including the nearest airport to you. Please if you know that you are not going to take very good care of my baby, do not reply me because I am giving her on adoption because of bad condition or anythi ng I am only giving this puppy out because we don't have time to take care of the puppy again due to the mission work before us here. She will be going for free so I will like you to get back to me with your full name and full address including your nearest airport and your contact phone number so that I can carry out shipping.?
Name:Lizzy
Adoption cost:Free
Shipping Fees:$200.00 Usd
Total cost:$200.00Usd?
I don't believe that this is a true story and I won't be buying this baby, if there really is a puppy at all, but I wanted others to see this. I think it is a scam to just get the money. Why else would they offer this up in a Michigan paper? It must be more to ship from Africa than $200! Why take the poor thing to Africa at all!!! How should I handle this? Just ignore it or email back or somehow investigate and then dirty their name?
