Call information and see if this person resides at that location, you have all his infomation and you can check with the bank that certify`s his check before you ship......

it is more than likely a scam .. the next thing they tell you some one made the cashiers check out wrong it was for $ 3000.00 can you hurry up and cash it and send the remainder of the balance back to them .. the check will look good and most banks will cash them only to find out later the check was no good, then your out $ 3000.00

I replied back and here is what was e-mailed to me.

Thanks for the response to my inquiry on your 3 males for sale.I'm ok with the price and all the descriptions you have provided concerning the puppies which is $600 and my client said he is interested in it.I would like to view it pics too.I have consulted my client and he has decided that the payment of $4000 would be issued out to you.So you will be deducting the cost of the puppies and transfer the remaining balance to the shippers who would come for the pickup and handle the shippment too.The remaining balance is the shipping cost and delivery.All you have to do for payment issuement is to provide me with information below:
Full Name:
Address :
City:
State:
Zipcode:
Country:
Tel# Home,Cell and Work Phone numbers ........
So i would be expecting to read from you with all the requested details so that payment can be made out to you as soon as possible.
Regards..

I get these all the time. Someone in another country wants a pup and will have someone in the states handle it. I never reply. They are a scam.

It wont be your first or your last one. Some are more outrageous than others. The last one I got I was in a playful mood and instead of deleted I wasted their time by emailing back and forth. By the third One I said that I do not do business transactions over the internet and feel free to call me.

Guess who I didnt hear from....LOL

Iam also getting emails from Mike Scott and Scott Mike both emails are almost the same and both emails are typed in bold print and say the exact same thing.

I got one from "don dman" who lives in Holland(yeah right). He was buying for his son's birthday and was going to rename the dog Murphy. He wanted me to start calling this 3 year old male Murphy so it would know it's name before giving it to the son. It'll probably be able to say "Murphy" it's self before I sell it to "dman".

They finally knocked on my door tonight...
here is my response...

Pups are $10,000 per pup....changed the price when I found that they carried a specific gene that caused them to be able to reproduce a hound just like them when bred to a hound from the same lineage.
Cash only...no certified checks.
No change given......you pick up.
If I deliver....it will be a $5,000.00 delivery fee per pup!.

When will you pick them up or where would I be delivering them to?

Thankyou,
