Rem&Silkmom · 10-17-2006, 09:15 AM

Yes, Yes, Yes...beware. Sounds like a scam to me.

JeanieK · 10-17-2006, 09:20 AM

Yup!!! typical Scam

Whenever they make it sound like it was blessing that they found someone to take their poor dear little darling. It's a scam

Did you notice how the puppy is 2 months old, and she got sent to Africa and no longer take care of it.

How long might she have had this puppy before she was shipped to Africa.

They really need a better story. I would think before relocating someone to another country one would get at least 4 to 6 weeks notice.

Through the years I have learned not to buy anything, house, car, dog, lawnmower, ANYTHING from anyone who tells you what a good God fearing person they are. Those are the ones that willf be the first to cheat you.

I believe in the Lord, but it has absolutely NO place in business dealings.

I agree........it's a scam! Run, run as fast as you can away from it!

Morkie4 · 10-17-2006, 02:41 PM

With the doggie, they are appealing to your heart..........most people have one except for perhaps this guy in Africa. I get emails from all kinds of foreign countries telling me that someone with my same last name has died tragically and that they had millions of dollars and if I would just help them out, they would be sure that I would be paid handsomely. Yeah right! This too is a scam.......trying to tug at your greedy little heart. It makes me sick when there are those that try to take advantage of honest hearted people. Anyway, my mom always told me, if it sounds too good to be true, it probably isn't true.

JESSY_RN2B · 10-17-2006, 03:02 PM

Any ad with someone shipping a dog from Africa is a scam. No need to investigate further.

cooper's mom · 10-17-2006, 06:40 PM

I just wanted to thank all of ya'll for the advice.

I knew it was too good to be true.

Thanks again.
