The ads look really similar to ads that I've responded to, and all of them turned out to be scams, so be really careful. Most of mine said they were missionaries living in Africa, but there was one from New York and one from Indiana also (at least, that's where they said they were from). The one from New York kept asking me for information about myself, saying that they are never in a hurry to find homes because they want to make sure the puppy goes to a good home. They kept telling me to send the money through Paypal or Western Union, but I decided against it because I didn't want to take the chance. Then, I answered another ad on another site, and I got a response from this same person in New York. It was on terrificpets.com and that site sends you an email to notify you of a possible scam. I got the email saying this one in New York was possibly a scam, so I stopped corresponding with them. I wish I could remember the email addy, but it was a couple weeks ago, and I didn't save it. I might remember it if I saw it again though.
I do hope that if you decide to go through with getting the puppy from them that it's not a scam. That's so heartbreaking! |
