I,m sure we have all heard about the scam to buy dogs where the buyer promises a cashiers check or money order upon pick up buy his shipper. Well they have gone one step furture, I got a call the other night from a lady stating she was an operator for the hearing impaired and that there was gentleman on the other end wanting to talk to me. after a series of questions about the pups he gave me his email and ask that I email him pictures and the specifics about the dogs which I did and wouldnt you know I get an email from him with the same poor spelling and english promising a check or money order when his (shipper) pics up the dog for his daughter. I emailed him back, sorry cash on pick up and supprise guess what no returned email. Hey what are the odds that this was an honest man that I miss judged and offended him with my email in return ? I wont post the guys email here just in case but if anyone gets a simalr call and wants it email me and I will get it to you.

Like you said.....Put the cash in my hand!!!!

show me the money

This identical scam was tried on my hunting buddy who has a welder advertised for sale. They sent hem a check which he took to the bank and verified it was no good. He was on to their tricks so he didn't lose.

They are getting ads from the internet and using hearing impared services, probably for free. What pieces of $hit!

And it doesn't let you hear the nigerian accent.

i get this all the time. they always ask about the ITEM . i ask which item. when they say puppy i say which one. they ask the final price & i say $20,000.00. this will get a laugh out of the operator. then the disconnect.

I have gotten 4-5 calls a month like that. I tell them "pickup in person and with cash only" and they always hang up. I want to tell them" I have a bad case of Parvo and Rabies, do you still want a pup?" That would get someones attention!!!!!!!!!!!

The calls are a SCAM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
