That link will show that this is an actual address...

I think you could tell them that you have a friend that lives on a nearby street and they would like to come take pics of the puppy...

...devious, aren't I???

We posted our last posts at the same time. I did google the address and it is a house that is for sale. they probably googled and just put in a random house number to get one that was accurate. I realized that they called me by my correct name because that is what was attached to the email address I used. To late now but I just changed it to Vicki. I don't think they really even read what is written to them

Ok, My sister says she knows where you live. Instead of doing the western union thing I will just have her bring you the money when she comes to pick up the puppy. Will you be available Tuesday? She can come Tuesday afternoon if you will be there. I'm so excited about my new puppy. Does she have a name? Can I change her name if she does have one? Could I see another picture of her please too, maybe one with some clothes on. They are so cute in clothes aren't they. I feel like you are my best friend, I thank you so much for being so kind to let me have your puppy. My sisters name is Brenda, do you want her to call before coming over?

Your friend,
Vicki

Oh that is a GOOD email!

I wonder what they will say next...

I feel like this is a soap opera or something...

I always hated cliff hanger endings!

This is just to funny

Good on you, Jackie, I also wonder what happens next.
Myself, I have fallen on this guy thro' the site of France as I live in Paris once when I was looking for my york (it is Gigo at my home since the end of last April) in the middle of April last year. I was sad at that moment because my previous york girl FeiFei died of heart attack that month. The guy said that he was in Benin and gave me a baby york girl for free but I got to pay the flight delivery, etc....I started a suspect on his lie from his mistake by mentioning the baby york to be boy sometimes, then to be girl when I asked. Finally, I decided not to go on with him just because I didn't want to send any money without seeing the baby york in reality. He kept sending me emails for asking me and so I ignored him completely. Another 2 times, I had contacts with the same persons I guessed, they kept saying moving from place to place for work, once in Belgium, once in Switzerland, however, I didn't play with them but directly arranged the deal by coming to the baby york by train from Paris, I would never send any money to a stranger, we can never trust people like that. Of course, when I stated to come over for the baby york by paying cash directly, they just disappeared without any reply. In France, they still keep posting adv. to offer free baby chiot whatever the race is. Sometimes, I read the others stating their loss of money by this trick. Many French people also post to warn all others not to send any cash thro' Western Union.....in order to avoid the loss. It is true that they made enough money from the people who believe gifting. How could we stop them?

Haha I LOVE messing with scammers, I watched a dateline NBC special on this kind of thing and there are people that actually mess with them full time! I have a special email that I use to reply to them

Here's a site that I found where they mess with the scammers (have them get tattoos, hold up silly signs, etc) and try to make them jump through hoops & waste their time so they aren't out scamming someone.
Some of the stuff is too funny.
Maybe it'll give you some additional ideas.
