Default yorkie scams are getting out of control

I'm trying to find homes for my yorkie's litter and I specifically said that i do not ship my puppies and last night i recieved an email about the puppies from someone who seemed almost illiterate (made me think they were from another country) saying that he had tried to call me. I knew that wasn't true because I have returned all calls about the puppies so I apologized anyways and asked him to email me his number if he was still interested in a puppy. I got a classic scam email today from him which I have enclosed, its just so sad how people are finding new and even more sick ways of taking advantage of others. I will enclose his email address as well in case he tries to contact anyone else from the same email. He also said that he would be sending me a check from Western Union, which for all of you who aren't aware is the bank that all the frauds use.

Hello

Thanks for your mail i will like you to know, that i want one male pup for my son who want me to present him for a birthday gift ,The reason I am sending you this email is to make final reconfirmation of Item for sale .which is ok by me,and also to let you know that payment will be by certified cashier's check or money order. In view of this I need you to email me any information that may be required to send the payment as I do not want to send the check or money order to a wrong location lest they get into the wrong hands.

Regarding the shipping, I have a company that takes care of the pickup of my consignments for me and ship to my destination anywhere in the U.S.A, you do not worry about shipping, the company will send down a representative to arrange the sales documentation and the pick up from your end.

I also want to alert you on the fact that you will be receiving an overdraft check, which will cover the money for the pickup (pickup and shipping to the final destination) . So please, as soon as you receive the payment, go and cash it immediately, deduct the money that accrues to you, and send the balance to the Head Office of the company that handles the shipment via Western union,Once the money is received by the agent , the shipping agent will contact you immediately to arrange the documentation as well as the pick up immediately, here are some of the details I will need for final issuance of the check or money order to you.

(1) Full Name
(2) Mailing address, no p.o.box please
(3) your direct telephone number both home and cell.?
{4} Acceptance of my offer
(5} Final asking price


Once you get back to me with all the above, the check or money order will be issued out immediately. extra $100 for keeping the puppy for me.
Thanks Hope to hear from you immediatey
