So I hadn’t thought of actually Googling the email address I had for this slimy individual until I saw one of the previous posts. So I googled it and WHAT A SHOCK I GOT! Turns out he has numerous adverts for other dogs including Rottweiler puppies and Maltese. I found a “personal ad” for him too! and his adverts stretched from South Africa to BERLIN! Some were in a language I couldn’t understand – German I think. I was wondering about his grammar in his emails to me! So thanks for the advice, and for any of you out there who come across this individual please be aware. His address is frank.lezy01@yahoo.com and he is not only operating here in South Africa. He claims to import puppies from Cameroon even! There are a few blogs about him out there too with numerous people complaining about his scams. i dont know how else to warn people about this individual. All I can say is thank goodness I was not looking for a new puppy and did not have that spark of excitement you get when you finally find one that’s right and you will believe anything. Please just be aware of this problem – this is not the only individual out there doing this. |
what a friend google is, huh?
i wouldn't give my phone number to someone you've corresponded with and given information to - but if you find an ad that you feel MIGHT be legit (after ruling out scams through google, etc) then you can simply respond (the first time) asking for their phone number or giving them yours.
if it's not a scam - they will call or give you a number.
the scams always want you to answer a list of questions and give some sob story about how they're on a christian mission and can't keep the pup. a scammer won't make contact through the phone.
