Jeff,
Thanks for your prompt response.. I assure that you need to worry about shipping, i will make necessary arrangement for the picking up of the blazer male from your residential home down to mine here in canada.I am interested him your asking price is okay by me, but i have to contact an associate of mine that will be remitting the payment.. I will get back to you, when i hear from him. Are you a registered breeder??? How long have you been into this?????
I hope to reading from you shortly
Bill

The bad grammar is a clue that the potential buyer is probably from Nigeria and not Canada.

Bill Cosby....lol very unique. Be careful, next Brad Pitt might want a pup

jeff, i've recieved the same email, wensday and again today, its got to be a scam same email on two different post its come off beagles for sale.

Jeff I got the same e-mail when i had chop for sale
sound like a scam to me

I have gotten similar ones several times in the past. It's for sure a scam. They'll want to send you a check for alot more than the price of the dog and you send them the difference. Then later you find out their certified check is no good. There were some local people here who fell for that.

yep definatly a scam. I get these like this every time i put something on craigs list, normally the grammer is very bad indicating that the scammer is from Asia or Africa or somewhere other than North America. Often times they want to set it up to pay with stolen credit card numbers and they always say that they will arrange for shipping or will have someone pick up at your house. I have never had one that wanted to negotiate price either, whatever the price it is always fine by them.

OHBA KABU FAT Albert

im sure they have an ip address why dont they bustthese jerks,,,,,,,

Seems like there should be a way to turn this around, and scam these guys.

Maybe they are just looking for a good jump dog. LOL

so what are you saying cooper,,,,,

Jeff I got a e-mail like that back when I was clearing out all the grade dogs from my kennels. The person always wants to use an "associate". The associate will give you a check with extra cash for shipping. They also are usually willing to pay more than the listed price.

Your dog... ends up in a lab getting crap sprayed in it's eyes, injected into it's skin, etc. etc., until it dies of un-natural causes. Tell them "no thanks and have a happy go- -yourself day".
