Sounds too good to be true....

I would say absolutely...It fits the other scams out there "christian home"...

you should write to them and see if they say they are on a Christian Mission in Africa...

:(

You were right! I emailed and asked if they had any males. Thought I would ask a specific question to see if I get an automated response. This was the reply:

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.

That might be a give away eh? LOL

That poor little puppy is deforming? LOL

Here is the reply they sent (i'm working on one to send back to it. i'll post)

If you are interested kindly get back to me asap so that the baby can be on his way to is new home as soon as the shipping arrangement is concluded! I will like you to get back to me with the information below..

So that i can get the puppy register for next day deliver for shipment and they will insue me the registration paper with your full reciever's information.
Hope to hear from you soon.

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

OMG...you are hilarious. "do I have to have him deformed again?";) Wonder how long you can keep this guy going? Please post his response!

Hahaha did you get a response yet? I can't wait to hear what he has to say to THAT!

I am DYING here! "Will I have to get him deformed again or is it a one time thing?" You really should be a stand up comic!

Keep on informing us, I did fill our a scam alert on this ad BTW.

You're BAD! :D (I found her after looking for 4 hours she was in my glove box of my car. She was ok though don't worry)

:lol tears:lol tears:lol tears:lol tears

This was on the Today Show and Oprah..... it is a scam... they actually played along....they continued to ask for plane flight...crate money... then meet the puppy at the airport no puppy.......very sad.......

A similar thing was on the news here in KC two days ago - about a bull dog puppy for $400 - an ad in the paper. It was a scam, too. How sad!!

That is tooo funny, You have made my day.

This next reply she sent was short


Hello then can u send me money for the adoption
I will forward my home address so that your sister can come and pick her
let me know if you will be sending me the money for adoption so that we can arrange on the payment of the adoption fees

Here is what i'm sending back to them now

Ok.. my husband thinks that i'm going way to over the top but here is my response

Yes I can send the money for the adoption instead that would be ok. Where do I send it to your home address? Do you take checks? Or can I send you some cash in the mailbox? I've never bought nothing online so I don't know how this all works. I hope you don't think i'm stoopid or something cause i'm not I even graduated from highschool and only had to repeat sophmore year 4x. I had to work today so I'm sorry I didn't write back to you sooner. I feel like you are my salvation. I never believed that there were good people with big hearts like yours out there. I would never had to gotten my yorkie puppy if I had to pay lots of money for it. I have to give most of my money to my manager or he get's really angry. Well I have to go my manager has me working a few jobs tonight. One at a bar and one at a hotel. Talk back to you soon... can you send your address so I can ask my sister if she knows where you live?

Much love,
Vicki S

You are having fun with this aren't you?!!

I wonder what they would say if you told them that you would bring cash when you pick up the puppy?

I mean, then it could not be a scam thing, could it?

Ok, I hope i'm not being irritating but here are the latest of the emails going back and forth..

there next reply

Oh My home address is 14212 Rideout Court, Fontana. Fontana California
and please kindly look for a western union store to post the money now asap

I need to get together another one, let me know if i'm irritating anyone posting this game i'm playing and I promise i'll keep it to myself

you are not getting to me I am actually learning something .. keep it going !! he is a IDIOT!

deforming.... cant get address right... changes names .. you sign it vicki and they adress you as somebody else... I bet they sit at compuer all day racking their brains and get frustrated the more frustrated the better...

You had better not keep this to yourself;) I am enjoying this way too much! :D Wonder if they are even clueing in to the fact that they are being scammed at the same time LOL

You know I emailed an ad about a free yorkie for adoption for the KC Star online ads and got some what of the same response except his wife was in the bahamas and the weather was to humid for the puppy there. He wanted like 400 in shipping fees. I was like WHAT?? People have tried to scam us before so I was ahead of the game there but can see where some people could truly fall for it. EAch time I checked new ads were posted much like the one I had read but with different puppy names and different adult names.
Keep up the good work, this person deserves to get teased and taunted.
I await to see what his response is!

LOL her house just happens to be listed for sale, maybe I will want to buy that too. Anyway, here is my next email sent just now

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
