| A Scammer Actually Called Me!!! TAlk about being Ballsy. Yesterday I emaioled this lady about this female pup for 300.00. It said she was in Kansas City which I thought was great. I got an email back from her that said she still has the pup and asked why I wanted her dog so i wrote her back and when I replied she said well I am in the PEAS CORP. (actual spelling she used) and am in camaroon and said if you just want to pay the shipping of 200.00 ( see she changed her price) than she would ship her right out .WELL. I sat and toyed with her abit and said "well, I dont feel real comfortable having a dog sent all that way on a plane and sending you 200.00 because of all the scams out there. I said they only way I will do this is if you go ahead and send the pup and ill pay for shipping at the airport when I receive her". SHe wrote back and said that she doesnt understand why i dont trust her and blah blah blah. well i tried to email back and she deleated her email so i was thinking "ok, shes gone back into her hole" well at 9:30 last night SHE CALLED and was foreign and I could hardly understand her saying that i was acting like I was wanting her dog and really wasnt and i was funny and she didnt understand...blah blah blah. I go t MAD and told her not to EVER call again and hung up. I was so upset I completely didnt realize that she had my phone number. I NEVER gave it to her...She emailed me t hree times after the call..saying shes a christian and that she cant believe I dont trust her and so forth. Scammers suck and I wish they would all go crawl back under the rock they come from!!! |

| Thats a good idea to pay shipping when the puppy arrives at the airport. I'm looking for a new baby too. Yes, thats creepy how she got your phone number. I had one guy call me and say, "you give me money, when you gonna send me money" those were his exact words. I hate scammers too.

| That's scary. Be careful. Maybe your number is on google, because I typed my full name and my full address and phone number were listed, plus a map of how to get to my house. I had to have it removed.

| Them being foreign isn't what upsets me. I've been scammed by someone out of nebraska! lol. Bad people are everywhere. I even heard that a lot of scammers from oversea's, use their family, that live in the U.S., to make the calls, set up fake websites,and do the emailing, so everything looks and sounds legit. So appauling. And I hate the way, they all claim to be christain! As a "christain" (yea right), do you really think God's going to bless you for stealing innocent people's money. Give me a break
