| This is really common on Craigslist, unfortunately, and it goes for mostly anything you want to sell/buy. Even rentals! It's always a nice reminder to be on the lookout. If it's sounds too good, it's a scam.

Reason for giving them out, i am giving them out because they formally belong to my son (Boris) who in three weeks ago pass away from a motor accident any time i see the puppies they make me thing of Boris and that i do not like..so my interest do not lies on money but just to find the best home for my puppies.you must convince me that you are going to take that wonderful care for these puppies before getting them. There is a problem it is a problem but it is not really a problem because it has a solution .the problem is that i have relocated to Portland, OR. Reason for my relocating I am a medicine researcher who have been transfer over to Portland, OR for further studies in order to perfect my skills and it is going to take me about 1yrs for the cause. solution to the above problem The solution to the above problem is how the puppy/puppies will get to your home ,if you will be unable to come here then i shall help you arrange for pet transportation company to move the puppy/puppies right over to your doorstep.but you shall need to pay the a delivery fee of $250 for each puppy. please my puppies are for free OK not giving you the right to take them for resell in order to make profit no i want is just for you to give them the best home.So please you EMAIL me let me explain how the delivery and payments process will be as i have gone already and obtain the info from the delivery company since as i posted my ads in the state before coming over here in Portland, OR. Some Question's for you if you don't mind Where are you located? Do you have any kids ? Have you ever own a pet before ? Why are you interested on this breed? How soon do you need the puppies over? Which sex are you interested on? Sorry for all the question , but we just want to be sure that these puppies are going to the right home and they will be having all the love and attention they need, yes contact us back for more details of the puppies and pictures. Thanks and waiting to read from you soon. this is the second email i got right after Hiya Dear, Thanks for getting back in regard of the male puppy Dolli since he is the only one left. I have just attached some of her pictures for you to view, hope you like them. I assure you that,he is going to make a wonderful companion to you and your family. He gets along well with kids and other house hold pets.I thank you greatly for your care and love you are ready to offer to Dolli. I just moved to Portland, OR where i study . My education is some time demanding that i do not have the time to offer them the love and care they desires that's why i am given Dolli out to a lovely home where they will devote time and attention for him. All i want is a loving and caring home where Dolli is going to find love. I hope you can offer him just that. I will need your details so that i can get him registered at the airport for onward shipping tomorrow morning. Its about some few hours for the delivery to done to your location.You will never regret adopting him because he is going to bring so much joy and happiness to your home and your life's.I will need to have the following information: Full Names? House address? City/State? Zip Code? Cell number? House Number Nearest Airport? E-mail address? I will really miss him so much but all i want from you, is for you to assure me that you are going to take great care of the puppy. it will cost you a total $250 for Dolli flight cost to your location that's all you will have to pay for you to the puppy delivered to your home. You will be making the payment at the Delivery Agency who will be responsible for the delivery of the puppy. The delivery agency i will be using is a well known agency world wide and they are going to make sure Dolli will be fine through out their flight. Once i have your information i will call and make reservation of a flight for the puppy is just a matter of some few hour before the puppies will be delivered at your home. I thought i should give you the details of how much it will cost you getting them. He is such a wonderful baby and i assure you that the puppy is going to make a good addition to your home. I will like to know if you are going to prefer home delivery or you are going to pick up Dolli from the airport. I will be waiting to read from in other to know if we could start all necessary arrangement so i could make the flight reservation as soon as possible. I will be anticipating to read from you.

Yorkie Yakker | this is another person i email this one was about a tiny litter of poms needing a great home due to moving ..... name was Kaziah Hi there, Thank you very much for contacting me in regards to our gorgeous Teddy Bear face Teacup Pomeranian puppies ( Lili & Mailo), they are both Full triple coat and superior quality. Our puppies are rare party Teacup Pomeranian. They are both adorable! Expecting to be 2 1/2 to 3 pounds full grown. Very loving and simply beautiful and Dazzling. They are perfect and adorable at 12weeks old . Are all potty trained, housebroken, and current on all shots, vaccines and de-wormed too. In fact there is just too much to say about them but let's go straight to the point. I will like to know your reasons for adoption and also know the natures of your job if you are indeed fit to adopt any of my puppies. I am giving each puppy out for $240 and the pair for $440 to any good and loving home!! So, if you can assure me that you can take care for one of these babies i will not hesitate to let you have one. Where do you live? And the main reason why i am giving them out is mainly because of my work time schedule, which mean i have very limited time to spend with and it's the reason why i have decided to give them up for adoption. They will be coming over to you with all their accessories which include a crate, health papers and toys too. let me know if you are worthy to have one of my puppies or better still both. They are just Lovely!!! Can i have your cell phone contact number as well? Waiting for your reply,

| When things sound to good to be true, it's usually because they are. So sad that people stoop to this level to get over on others. Even sadder that so many people still fall for it.

| Most of what you will find on the internet are scams. There are reputable breeders that have websites but they do not usually come up in a search. Go to the YTCA website and look for breeders in your state. Even if they do not have puppies they may be able to direct you to someone who does. You can also go to the AKC website and do a search for conformation clubs in your area. They usually have a breeder referral contact person who can direct you to breeders. The internet is full of scams and these scams are wold wide. Don't have anything to do with those people or the pet stores that sell puppy mill puppies. Giving them your money just helps them imprison more dogs in their tiny filthy cages. |

| Sorry to say but this scam has been around for quite sometime. I had been seriously looking for a new baby for close to two years, and ran into them all the time. I had almost given up, that's how bad it was. But then, back in June I found my sweet Bella. Just be extremely careful. |

| I'm not sure if it is the same place but the site the OP posted sounds similar to one that someone else had mentioned here on YT not long ago. That place also sold children's clothing AND puppies! There have been places posted that you can report these breeders and brokers to. I don't have time right now to go back and look it up but I am pretty sure the one you posted has several complaints against it already. The more lodged the better. However, I don't know how all these disgusting places can be dealt with. There are so many. Some of them just change their website and start up under another name once they have sold enough sick puppies. |
