Scam the Scam

Post by BradWV »

I have a couple litters of pups posted and am now starting to get the "Scam" e-mails of wanting to buy the pups. Will they actually come to pick up the pup? If so, I was thinking about answering them, playing the game and then when they get here handing them back their fony check. I'll bet they would get tired of spending gas money and getting scammed themselves pretty darn quick!

Be careful of taking money orders and cashiers check the police said they were copying these just like they do money and after you cash it and they get the dogs and the bank finds the false money orders you are out of money and your dogs the police told me not to get involved

First e-mail

Hello,
I am highly interested in your advertised AKC/UKC Male Pups, So i will like you to get back to me with the cost price including its present condition. Reply back to this mail. God Bless.
Best Regards,
Alice Spencer.


Second e-mail

Sorry for not getting back to you on time. I got your mail and thanks for your urgent response. My full name is Alice Spencer and am presently located at 100 Higginson Ave - Lincoln, Rhode Island 02865 USA but am not in the States right now. I would have also loved to forward you my phone number but it is out of service but i promise to forward it to you as soon as it is back online okay. So since the cost of the AKC/UKC Male Pups is $250, It is okay by me. But i will like you not to sell it out to someone else because i am really interested in buying it. My (Cashier) will be the person that will issue and send out a Money Order for the cost of the AKC/UKC Male Pups to you and as for the shipping don't worry about that because i will arrange for the pick up at your location. So i will like you to send me your full contact information to where the payment will be issued out to like this:
Full name:
Full address:
City:
State:
Country:
Zipcode:
Phone number:
I will be expecting the requested information as soon as possible.
Reply back to this mail. God Bless.
Best Regards,
Alice Spencer.


My Reply

Alice,

Wow! You are out of the country, you must be a pretty
impotant person? I have only been out of West
Virginia once and that was to go meet a guy to pick up
a dog. Are you a big boss at some kind of a store?
The reason I ask is because you were ging to have a
cashier send may a check. Anyway, where is the pup
going to be delivered to? I have a few friends that
are truck drivers that could possibly deliver the pup
to you. I can send you my mailing adress but it would
do you no good for me to send you my phone number
because I work 2 jobs and am only at home when I am
sleeping. Let me know how you would like for me to
get you the pup.




I'll keep ya updated!
