Very Sad...I'm sure someone will be duped and this scam will continue. |
I hate this scam. This guy lower his price from the site to the email he sent...guess he has already made enough money!! LOL |
They never stop do they. |
I'm going to have some fun with this one, I've seen others do this and love trying to make the scammers nutso. So here is my first email to them Hello, I'm inquiring about your puppy ad. I have been looking for a puppy just like her for a very long time and I think your little girl might be just what I need. I have very limited funds so I don't know if I could pay more then what it might cost to ship her, would you consider lowering the price please? I would give her a really good home. I have a lot of yard to run in and she would have a really big dog house to keep her out of the snow. It would also keep her warm when it gets to be so bitterly cold here. Thank you so much for this chance, Vicky Scumbuster |

you need to add that you will need to buy a heater so it will keep her food and water above freezing Oh and do not forget to say you will send a check for 7500 and they keep the cost of the puppy and mail you the rest :aimeeyork |
Scumbuster????:D |
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 :) I just feel bad for anyone who would be stupid enough to actually send money after recieving an email like that. |

Ok, here is my reply That is wonderful that I can just pay for shipping, my sister will be going to California on business Monday could we arrange for her to pick the puppy up for me? That would work out wonderful wouldn't it. Then we wouldn't have to worry about her getting shipped and lost or something. I know that dogs do much better in the cold weather and that with all the hair on those little critters they must just sweat in California. So she was home raised in PA? Is that a city in California, i'm really bad with knowing where stuff is. One time when I had another puppy I couldn't find her and when I found her after looking for 4 hours she was in my glove box of my car. She was ok though don't worry, I only kept her in there when I went to the movies and dinner with a boy. Ok, so sorry for talking so much do you have a number I can call you and talk to you about my new baby? Can I have her have babies or is she fixed, will I have to get her deformed again or is that just a one time thing? Thank you so much, your heart is so big it must hurt Love, Vicki Scumbuster This is fun |
