What do you make of this??
 

I have 3 puppies for sale and I got a call from a teleprompter (hearing impaired individual) anyway, he gave me his email addy and I sent him the info on the pups. this is the response I got from him. Doesn't all of this sound pretty fishy to you? I told him that I wanted no part of it. I also got a call from some guy in Arthur Illinois. He was wanting 2 pups and I began asking him questions and found out that he was going to kennel them and that they would not be in the house (puppy mill dude here). So I told him that I would not sell any of my pups to him. My girls deserve better than that! There is now way I would support his greed.

Thanks for your email.it was really nice speaking to you with on the relay call,you have you have to bear with me as I have hearing problems, hence the use of the relay call. The reason I am sending you this email is to make final reconfirmation of the(one female puppy )and also to let you know that payment will be bycertified USPS (UnitedStates Postal Servce) Money Order. In view to this I need you to email me any information that may be required to send the Money Order, as I do not want to sent the Money Order to a wrong location lest they gets into the wrong hands.Regarding the shipping, I have a company that takes care of the pick up of my consignments for me and ship to my destination anywhere in the U.S.A, you do not worry about shipping, the company will send down a representative to arrange the sales documentation and the pick up from your end for onward transfer to mydestination.I also want to alert you on the fact that you will be recieving an overdraft Money Order, which will cover the money for the pickup (pickup and shipping to the final destination) as well as the to be paid to the company that will take care of the pickup and the documentation with you. So please, as soon as you receive the
Money Order, go and cash them immediately, deduct the money that accrues to you, and send the balance to the Head Office of the company that handles the shippment in London United Kingdom via the nearest Western Union agent in yourarea.Deduct the Western Union charges from the balance and send the remaining to united states immediately .The Money Order will be in your name to make it easier for you to receive payment, deduct your money and send the balance via Western Union as regards my earlier direction, please reconfirm your details one more time. I will give you the details of the company that you will send the balance of the money to in London once I get a reply and agreement that you will send the money to London
via Western Union money trnasfer immediately you cash the Money Order.Once the money is received by the agent in London the shipping agent will contact you immediately to arrang the documentation as well as the pick up immediately.So in view of the above,here are some ofthe details I will need for final issuance of the USPS Money Order to you.

(4) acceptance of my offer
Once you get back to me with all the above, the Money Order will be issued out immediately and it will be sent to you.Hope to hear from you immediately. and

WOW! I would RUN away from that! FAST!

Good for you. How many red flags were flying with this one? I'd rather keep my puppies then take a chance of something bad happening to them. That had "bad" written all over it. Your babies are blessed to have you caring for them. :animal-pa

Total scam...run fast and run far from this person!

Sounds like one of those money order scams that you hear about all the time. Plus how did this guy in London hear about me? I emailed him back and asked him who the ---he was and where he was from- No responses yet. Just trying to get more info from him so that I can report him to authorities. I am sure there is something very illegal about all of this.

We get these all the time. Stay away. It is a shame the way this system that was designed for the hearing impaired is being abused by these scammers. Usually when I tell them I have to verify there address by finding it on the internet and calling them back on the listed number for the address, they hang up.

Yep, that's a sure scam...run away!:mad:

Don't do it. It just doesn't sound right.

Bad Bad Bad..........stay away, better yet, RUN for the hills. This does not sound right!:thumbdown

London??? London??? and he is able to send a USPS money order??? Run like hell ....

hope you can report him!

total scam. I get emails like that all the time.

My daughter also has a male yorkie for sale and I was babysitting and received a relay call about him. They gave me an e-mail address and when my daughter replied, they said they were in France and wanted the pup shipped to them. A lot of the details in your post matched up with the e-mail that she got back from these guys. Now they are not only selling puppies they don't have, but they are trying to get real pups?

Be careful......... report them as well. Not that it does any good. I was a victim of that same money order scam but I fell for it. I was selling a saxophone on craig's list.com and before I knew it the sax was on it's way and the USPS money order was fraudulent. They are all over aren't they!!!:thumbdown

Well the guy never answered my last email. So I guess he has backed off. I forwarded his email that he sent me to Yahoo (which is his address) and to aol to see if there is anything they can do to stop this guy. Any other suggestions?

dcelmo: I pmd you to see if this is the same guy. I don't know if I can post his email on here or not. If I can , let me know and I will, so that he doesn't mess with anyone else.

Thanks everyone.

This is the response I got from Yahoo.com I hope that they shut this guy down. At least I feel like they are going to do something. So we will see.
