Ive been wondering about something like this that has been going on with me. I posted my pups for sale and have been getting several calls and emails (re-directed thru newspaper I advertised with) They ask me to email them back with the info when it was already listed, asking if my "breed" is still for sale and even one went as far as to at first say he was contacting me for a client then when I told him I was not working thru a 3rd party he said oh I decided to get one for my kids. I have even had 3 different calls thru the relay svc for hearing impaired and the caller is asking me to email him with the puppy info and a cashiers check will be sent right out. Being new at selling the puppies I emailed the first guy and got weird emails wanting my information (which luckily I refused to give, the pieces just didn't fit) (i figured this was a way for them to get my email address since is was not listed in the newspaper, they had to email the newspaper, the paper would forward the responses and leave it up to me if I wanted to give them my email info, I fell for it a few times because I didn't know any better, I still dont know what all of it is but I knew it didnt sound right. I now screen the calls and if anyone sounds even the slighest suspicious I tell them I am not interested, same with emails. Does anyone know who these "off the wall" people my be, what they want or who they work for? It sounds like a big scam set up. |
