I think this is a scam. There is a member of this forum who was contacted by a woman who was sending a cashier's check or money order for the deposit; then to pay the full price for the puppy then an additional amt so that the owner would cash the check or M.O. and send the additional money to a person in NY who is in charge of dealing with parcels for the buyer. The person buying the puppy was deaf from some accident in the military (I think) and the contactor was an operator who was dealing with the breeder because the buyer could not hear.
The whole thing was a crock and was turned over to local law enforcement agencies both in the sender's town and the puppy owner's town. There is so much scamming going on and this sounds like the classic scam case.... |
