Is this a SCAM or what? Well I think this is a scam. I just received this email from someone interested in my puppies. I'm attaching a copy of it. Wanted to see what everyone here thought. Needless to say. I sent him an email telling him that 1 was all that I had ever advertised for sale and that he has been sold. So I'm not sure how he got 3 and the correct number at that. Do people actually fall for this kind of thing? Baffles me. hello, Am fred can , am interseted in purchasing your pets which i will need Three pets bcos i distribute to local location in my divition as an pet guardian and i have be give the only chance to be doing that due to my respect and commitment . Meanwhile i have been doing this for years now and my effort has been realy commended positively so far by the security agent arround the globe.Perharps the money will be paid to you via money order and it will also include an excess fundswhich you will be making availabe to me via the western union money tranfer in your area and the excess funds involve is my commission also for the carrage of the pets from your location to each place where thepet will be needed,Haven't said all that i want you to forward your name and address including your contact phone number ane the total amount of the three pets so that i can make the payment available to you without any further delay,ok. thank you. |
yes, it is. there are so many different scams out there. |
i'm not so sure, so i would get a second opinion, but i think its a scam too. i'm supprised that "fred" can spell commission but not because. i don't really know what to think of it.......but it all seems a little fishy to me. |

Too me as well. I never had 3 puppies available. All I had was 1 and I sold him last week. Even though Mollie had 3, I only advertised 1 for sale. I would have never advertised that I had 3 for sale. Even if I had any available I would have still told him I didn't have any. |
I know that I've heard that you can forge western union stuff. also, he was asking for personal info. i can't remember the details of how this scam works but you did good in recognizing it. |
I replied to him asking him where he found my ad at. Only because I know for a fact that I did not advertise 3. I will let you guys know if I hear back from him. |
PLEASE STAY AWAY FROM THOSE they ARE Scams !! There are many many out there and these people are GOOD at what they do ...it only takes a few people a day to for them and they can clean UP ! |

I was telling my husband even if we had any available I would have told him that we didn't. I was just wanting to see if anyone on here had seen anything like this before. |
OMG!!!! That guy sent me and my husband a FAKE cashier check for 3500.00. My husband builds aluminum dog boxes..thats him....WOW!!! I sent the check from him to the bank he said it came fromn for fraud. He wanted to pay for 5 dog boxes and than have me send him the excess.. DONT FALL FOR IT!!!! ITS A SCAM!!!!!!!!!!

Like I said before I don't have any puppies left to sell. Even if I had I would have told him I didn't I knew from reading it that it was not up to par. Thanks for letting me know that. Wonder where this guy is from. |
He is from Africa!! also known as fred car also.......... |
Wow - This guy gets around - you can REPORT him Shecass - both of you - I hope enough people report him that they can build cases against him - Internet Fraud is rampant - you have to be VERY VERY Careful who you deal with - I can easily see Fake Cashiers checks floating around - the good thing is that if he gets busted for passing fake checks there is a bigger charge than just scamming someone out of their money - ytsirk27...Even I've heard that name Fred Car before - he must be VERY busy or have others helping him |
Scam!!! That is a huge scam. Im glad that you didn't fall for it, even if you didn't had the pups to sell. I agreed with Villette this guy needs to be report for internet fraud. |
I saw a warning about this on TV. I forget which investigative show it was (it was the reporter in the wheelchair), but they were following up on these emails and busting people all over the world! It was great! What the crooks do is order something from you and then way overpay you with a cashiers check from overseas. Then they ask that you wire back the overage amount. By the time the bank catches on that the cashiers check is bad the crooks already have your money... I don't know where you would begin, but if you can, report this guy! |
Wow that letter was weird! He had really bad spelling errors all through it! I got sorta lost about the excess money etc. You should report him ASAP! I can't stand people that try and get one over on others!! Good job at spotting that scam! |
