| Is this a SCAM??? Hello, Thanks for your mail regarding my puppy,She is still available to any one prepared to provide her with enough care and love,where she will be well spoil Rotten with all her need.she is 14 weeks old respectively and has very good temperament with kids and other pets,very playful love to play around with toys and kids,she is health guaranteed and registered,vet checked.she is up to date on all her shots and will be coming along side her health papers and vet records.she is called baby Rosie as you can see in the attachment below hopping you will love it..The reason why i am giving her out for adoption is because working hours are too much for me and it gives me no time to take care of her and also the weather and climate condition here is not good for her living which might make her sick and you know that i wont like that to happened to her so that is the mean reason why i want to give her out to a family where she will be well taken care of and treated like a daughter.and since you are interested in adopting her,i am willing to give her to you but you have to first of all assure me that you will take a very good care of her and that you will send her pictures to me monthly so that i can see how she is doing in her new home if that is fine by you then am located in Victoria Cameroon Presently working with the UNICEF Organization.Please may i ask you some few questions? do you have kids? are you a breeder? do you have other pets? where do you live? how soon do you want her? are you sure that you will really take good care of her?get her pictures below.i hope you will love her.i will be waiting for your mail asap Thanks and i will be waiting to read from you Asap I saw an ad for a baby girl and decided to ask, I replied to the add and this is what I got!! Hello Lopez, Thanks for the mail Regarding baby Rosie and this Greatly shows me how serious you are in getting her Home,Well i have no option to keep her with me nor to give her else where since you have promise to provide her with a Great and forever Home and that is Exactly what am Searching for her.In answer to your Questions My baby Girl Rosie is Potty trained in my Home alongside children and other House Hold pets and she live on barkery store product (www.barkerystore.com).Meanwhile she is 14 weeks old and weighs 2.5lbs and she will grow to remain a small dog in her adult age and so quick to win your Heart.I will like to let you know that my problem is not Money but for my baby to be place in a Lovable Family willing to provide her with all her needs as you will be doing..So what is needed from you is just her transportation fare to transport her from Line 201 Atlanta Victoria,Cameroon to Ft. Hood where you live and that will cost you $250 as the airport just told me 10minutes ago when i call the to inquire the cost to ship baby Rosie over to you and as soon as you made the fees available i will immediately drive with baby Rosie to the airport which is just a few Kilometers from me and Reserve her a flight and get back to you with her flight information.If that is fine by you then get back to me with your shipment information that i will be using in her flight Reservation as seen Below YOUR FULL NAMES COUNTRY STATE/CITY ADDRESS PHONE NUMBER THE CLOSEST AIRPORT TO YOU Thanks and with the above information accurately provided to me baby Rosie will be ship and Delivered to you with Much Ease

| I have gotten several emails in the past month that are similar to this. I think it is a scam, but that's JMO. I hope that doesn't make me cynical but I know there are so many scams out there. Just be careful!

| It's so sad that there are people out there who prey on the good hearts of others. It makes me sick to my stomach to know that almost everytime I am doing a good deed or ramdom act of kindness that I have to question the possible motives of others.

| At first it sounded so real, but then when I googled the email address I realize it sounded "fishy" When I saw the ad it said Austin, Texas .
