| Puppy Scam Just curious has anybody here gotten involved in the puppy scam that is going on through the internet or am I the only stupid person in the world. It's a long painful embarassing story so I wont go into it but I'm out $3700 and I feel really stupid. I never got the dog and I'll never see my money because it was from overseas. Alot of it was my fault because I didn't research this well eough but I have learned an important lesson. Never wire money to anybody, If you see Cameroon or anyplace out of the country forget it especially Cameroon, Nigeria or anyplace in South Africa. The only good that came out of this is that I got my puppy from a local breeder and I love him. |

| First of all Congratulations on your little Boy. How old is he? What is his name? $3700 is ALOT of money for them to steal from you... because thats what it is stealing! I am so sorry this happened to you. I once phoned a add ad this woman from cameroon told me to send the money first... of course i didnt but she keept calling me for days to give her the money. She was terrible. I am so sorry that they managed to get you all excited about getting your puppy and you never got him. Thank goodness you now have your little one xxx

Donating YT 4000 Club Member | I'm so sorry you went through this. The overseas scam runs rampant on the AJC website. It really upsets me that people can do that to each other. I'm glad you finally got your little furbutt.

| Sorry to hear you been scammed. Every once in awhile you'll read about that. I've never heard about so much money though! Congrats on your new little one though I'm sure they are a handful! Post pictures! |

| To answer the question about Zach. He's 4 months old and he weighs about 3 1/2 lbs. I'll try to post some photos as soon as I can About the scam, I'm trying tp put this behind me. I only hope that one day the internet will be able to filter these creeps and keep them off the internet. They make doing business on the internet a nightmare. |
