This is what I sent back: Mr. Winners, Hello, I have one female left and her price is $1000. She weighs 2 lbs 7 ozs and will be 9 weeks old April 5th. She comes with AKC registration, food, blanket, toy, 3 generation pedigree and picture CD from birth till she goes to her forever home. She will be ready to go at 12 weeks old, April 26th. I accept a $200 non-refundable cash deposit with the balance paid in cash at pick-up. Puppy must be visited by you when deposit is paid. I do not ship my puppies. I will decide if you are worthy of one of my puppies at that time. I want my puppies to go to loving, forever homes and their best interest is my main priority.

| It sounds to me like the same Scam that they have on craigslist. (ever heard of it?) I posted that I was selling my kind size bed and these guys kept on telling me that they wanted to buy it and they would send me the money via cashier's check or money order and it was wayyyy over the asking price. ( I was asking 350. and they said they would send me 2500.) But there was a warning on craigslist that had said people are doing this and if you cash the check you would have to pay all that money back. It was crazy!!! The banks couldn't even tell if it was fake or not.
