| Isn't it amazing what people will do?!? They always try to throw in the words God or Christ. I guess they learned that in scam school. I was caught up in a scam too and the guy used the alias last name "Godson". I toyed around with him too. I figured I may as well have some fun with it and teach him a lesson. He was supposedly going to have someone pick a pup up and deliver it to him in Washington DC (from PA mind you). He wanted to give me a cashiers check for like $2,000 and wanted me to hurry to the bank and cash it so I could pay the delivery person like $1,200 for his delivery fee to Godson. He emailed me and asked if I got the check. I told him yes, that I had cashed it, but that I had a friend who was already going to DC and just had them take the pup with them to the address he had given me. I also added that I gave the excess cash to my friend so she could give it to him because he was paying way too much for such a short distance. Then I acted surprised like "What?!? Did you NOT get the puppy?!???? I haven't heard from my friend since she left with the pup!" |

| I don't know if you read my post, but the $1,200 was for the "shipping agent". My scam was also from Nigeria. You should send an email saying "I would really love to have these puppies....however, after I buy them I will not have any money left for vet bills. Are they healthy? I will probably keep them if they are." Now NO PERSON would sell to someone who would write something like that! See what she says. I am sure she will assure you that the pups are healthy and still want to "sell" them to you. IDIOTS!!!!!! |

| LOL! You Go Get Em! Those Poor ficticious puppies. Nice work Julz...I always hope the few minutes we spend yanking back on their chain keeps them from scamming the next guy. There is a site you can report these creeps to,but it never seems to do any good, they just whip up the next fake addy and start over. Puppyfind should be more vigilant in their advertising and post scam information the way it is done on many other 'for sale' sites. |
