Actually it's not always Nigeria anymore. There's also "West Africa" and "Cameroon". When I was looking for a puppy last year, I answered an ad that was listed as if it was local. The guy was giving away 2 pets, a maltese and a chihuahua. This is the response I got from him to my initial inquiry:

hi
my problem is not just selling but selling to someone who will be able to take good care of it and give it the long existed love .so if u can guarantee its safety keeping every thing constant then its yours
there is only one reason for me selling my pets: after the hurricane i made a trip to london , southafrica and presently iam in cameroon where i will only return early next year. the conditions here seems very unfavourable for my pets so i want to guarantee their safety. please don"t take this as a weakness but a mutual help.
i will take care for all tranportation expenses, provided you circum to my conditions.as of now i don"t really know what u want(the chihuahua or the maltese)as soon as u give me ur choice ,i will give u all neccessary info

I emailed expressing my interest in a local pup only and then I never heard from him again. It makes me sick to see them use human emotions as a tool to their scam. They make it seem like they really care about the puppy and wanting to place them in a good home, money isn't a priority, they're honest because they're christian, etc etc.
Kimberly your emails crack me up! i'm glad you're planning to feed the pups the best food possible: puppy chow. hahhaa! i wish thre was some way for us to scam the scammers....
