| Scam? Please Read..... "Hello, This is _______ and Thanks for the response and for the interest in my puppy i want you to know this puppy is still looking for a good home and she still for free but the main reasons why am get rid on this puppy is that i came down to West Africa(Nigeria) For my missionary work by my church so i want you to know that the puppy is with me her still looking for a good parent that will adopt her and take very good care of her is my willing to be giving this puppy out for you and i want you to promise me that you will take very good care of my puppy.She is Akc registered she WILL come with her Health Certificate and Vet Checked she 10 weeks and i will want you to know that the puppy will be shipped through Aero Pets Delivery First Airline from nigeria is next day delivery or the same the day it is how faster your payment is as you will receive the puppy and i will want to imform you that the shipping fees for the SHIPPING ($150) so i want you to get back to me with your Full Name,Address,Contact Phone Number with your nearset airport for the delivery for the puppy and the payment method that is allow now through western union money transfer and as soon as your payment is confirmed by my shipping company the puppy will be shipped out to you urgently and i will like to inform you that's the best way of making the payment it is secured and faster.So i will want you to get back to me with your Full details so that i can start making arrangment for the puppy..I will be waiting to read from you. Thanks. *Puppy Infomation**: Register:--AKC, Health Guarantee, Vet Checked, Shots. Health Certificate Breeder:Yorkie Shipping Fees:$150 " Now, I emailed this lady because this puppy was on a website listed as "free", I asked her why the dog was free and if there was anything wrong with the puppy and also where it was being "shipped" ...sounds fishy to me. I'm not in need of another puppy at the moment, but just wanted to find out what the deal is. Let me know your thoughts.

| A local police officer told me today that when people receive these emails, fwd them to their local authorites so they can shut them down!! He said ANY scam as well... He said THEY ARE looked into and they do get a lot of complaints about them. He said, If it's too good to be true, IT IS!

| I got the exact same e-mail from three or four different people, I just delete them when I see them because they are with a doubt a SCAM.

| Thanks everyone. I wasn't interested in buying a new puppy, but thought i'd respond to the lady giving the puppy away to see what she'd say. I definitely think this is a scam too...can't believe someone would do such a thing. Thanks everyone.
