I think I've seen that guys picture on another website if I'm not mistaken....geez

I bet they are from Mexican puppy mills. Smuggling puppies into the US is a big business. These puppies are too young to leave their mothers and many are sick and die from being crammed into car trunks, etc.

Any ads like this in California are highly suspect.

The poor english always makes me suspicious...

Rocco1 · 01-11-2008, 06:35 AM

Hmmm, I agree with everyone's assessment but man they are really cute pups and I would love to have one myself. If ANYONE checks into this please keep me in mind and let me know what you find out.

Thanks!

As much as I would like this not to be a scam I get a VERY bad feeling reading this. It sounds like every other scam email I get just spruced up with pictures of who knows who that is??? If I coudnt see those puppies for real I would be really leary about sending them money...lots of double talk...something really feels off!!

Just wanted to add:

He talks in the top of the ad as if there are TWO puppies that he wants to go together but he will sell them as "single" if he has too..but at the bottom of the ad he says that ALL the puppies you see are available...SCAM..after re-reading this about 5-6 times I say total scam!!

It definitely sounds like the scam. He is really playing up how down and out he is with the passing of his wife, daughter, and now being paralyzed from a car accident? It doesn't sound real to me. He talks about having 4 puppies, but there are only 3 in the pictures. He first says potty trained (at 9 weeks???) then he says they are not housebroken. SCAM!!!

OMG I didnt even notice about the baby being a girl!! Good detective work!! I emailed him and asked him to email me pictures of the puppies with a piece of paper that says "dawn" on it with the puppies..I told him that I got ripped of (I never have lol) and that I wanted to make sure he was legit. I said that I also put the last person who scammed me in JAIL lmao...hopefully if he is a scammer I will scare the poop outa him!!
