What kind of puppy scam is this? This one has me confused! Why are they emailing a breeder? Wouldn't they have to send money? :confused: Ok scam busters: give me some good stuff to write them ;) I had thought about..."I got puppys. What you want Mister?" :D The email: Hi There! I am interested in a having a Yorkshire Terriers Puppy purchased from you and needs you to advise and direct me on the available puppies with you as well as the purchasing procedures. Will be waiting to read from you soon. Warm Greetings. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Yahoo!

I wouldn't answer the email at all.....delete it asap! |
I put a litter in the paper and it went online also. THAT my dear was my first approach by a sammer.....tons of them came in. The way they will try to scam you is by offering you WAY more than the asking price and saying that you need to cash this RIGHT AWAY into your checking account and send THEIR shipping agent the extra money to come and pick up the pup and deliver it to them. I REALLY jerked this guy around! I let him go on and on and send me the money. It was interecepted by our government, but he didn't know it. I told him a friend of mine was already headed that way and that I gave the pup and the extra $2,000 in cash to her with his address. I told him he was paying WAY too much for that short of a distance and told my friend just to keep like $300 of it for her fee and give the rest to him because he was getting ripped off by his shipping agent! HA HA HA!!!!! Oh my gosh! It was sooooo fun! |

Yeah, he was like "WHAT????!?" I said "what do you mean WHAT?????!? Didn't you get the puppy?!!!!? That was like a week ago that my friend left with that puppy and I haven't heard from her since! Have you talked to your neigbors? Maybe she took it to the wrong address! Oh my gosh, I hope your puppy is ok!" Meanwhile, I totally knew he wasn't in Washington DC, but WAS in Nigeria! |
In light of what we have all been a witness to lately regarding the scammers who stole Kimberley's pics, i think i'm gonna send them a "response".... ;) What is the name of that place where you report internet crime? |

They can't do anything to them since they are in another country.....only try to stop the scams by intercepting the money exchanges. However, let the government know so they can be on the lookout for that particular name and area incase it isn't one they are already watching out for. |

There are "key" words and always a sameness to them. The rest becomes more noticable once you start communicating with them. |

And Kim, I've learned to pick up on these things. It's in the wording. It always is. This isn't the first one of these I've received; just the first one I've shared. You would think that if they want to continue to scam the american people, they would ATLEAST learn to speak our language correctly so that they could do a better job at it! |
