My aunt fell for one of these scams a few years ago.
She was told over the internet that she was "rescuing a Hurricane Katrina puppy" and just had to pay the $250 for the flight of the puppy. The woman and her had several phone conversations and everything and she was sent e-mail pictures of the puppy the *poof* once the money was sent, the puppy never came and the phone calls (of course) stopped. |
