That definitly looks like a scam too me.

1. 11yrs older than who/what?
2. A girl named Joshy....Whatever floats your boat I guess?
3. Time to breed, but no time to learn spelling and grammar?

Big time scam!!!!

Craigslist is full of these ads too. I responded to an ad for a Maltese there and the guy was from Cameroon, OMG! I had to tell him to stop bothering me, he wouldn't quit contacting me to buy his make believe puppy!

Scammers are everywhere. If they don't have a firm grip on the English language, there's the first red flag. Second is the impossibly low price. Third is the Western Union request.

I'm glad you're too smart for this

My thoughts exactly!!! I kept wondering 11 weeks older than what??

1st shots at 11 weeks older than??? Mine are about to get their 3rd shots at 11 weeks. And this "fingers trimmed" thing. I guess it takes all kinds.

You have to realize that some of these scammers aren't even adults. They are very poverty stricken and have no guilt or shame in taking money from us "rich Americans". I don't fault the scammers for trying to put food on their tables, but "we" are always trying to get a good deal - if it sounds too good to be true it probably is. All we can do is keep warning people and hope that common sense prevents them from sending any money.

I am sympathetic to those that have been scammed out of money because charitable donations should be given willingly, but chalk it up to experience and if it helps you can probably be assured your money is going to good use.

These ads are even appearing in local newspapers now and I do fault the papers because while they may be making a few bucks selling the ads they are opening up many people to losing money. The people that read the papers may not even own a computer to know how these scammers operate.
