Hello Lady,
Thanks for the mail,and also thanks for being interested in selling your puppy to me i really appreciate it,am from california..i will like to purchase the puppy for my son,i am okay with the price of the puppy $1,000,as for the payment i will instruct my client in the state that his owing me some money to issue out a money order of $2,000 USD to you in your name and send it down to your address so immediately you get the payment you will deduct the cost price for the puppy $1,000 and send the remaining balance which is the sum of $1,000 to the shipping agent that will come to your location for the pick up of the puppy,send me your zipcode of your state...... hope to hear back from you soon...
Thanks

Hi there just to let you know i
work for a
bank and deal with scams all the time. I can say that i am absolutely good at detecting scams. This is 100% a scam. The person who is wanting to send the "$1,000.00" in a check for $2,000.00 and have to cash the check off your account for the purchase and wire or send money back is hoping you are stupid and will do so as the check will bounce as a fake check and you would be giving $1,000.00 in real money from your account. As for you and your bank if they did not notice the check was fake then they would do as you asked by either cashing the full check or deposit to your account. Once the check came back from processing they would deduct 2,000.00 from your account and also give you a charge back fee. I recommend that you have them send you money through paypal or cash in hand..... Hint.. Hint.... Cashiers checks, money orders and official checks are not guaranteed as they use to be as people have learned the design of these items and will send them to you instead of a personal check. My guess is they would be trying to send you one of those items to make you think it was legit. Im proud of you for realizing this before excepting and processing this item.
