hi everyone, I recieved this email today, sounds too good to be true right

hello thanks for the mail,and your interest in my puppy,
she is 13weeks of age,weighs 2.1 and presumed to be 4.1lbs when
fully grown.perfect health wise and will be coming along with a vet supervision and a year health guarantee certificate.I am currently in Douala Cameroon[ NEW VICTORIA. ] on studies and will be shipping her from here.My reason giving her up for adoption is due to the fact that i am so busy with my courses that i hardly find time for myself to take very good care of tina,so i decided to give her out for adoption into a family where she will be given the love and care she deserves and have not had of recent with me,that is why my priority is not the asking price but a nice home for her.she is for free adoption,what you will need to do is pay only for her shipping over to you which will cost you just $150 OK,so if this is ok by you just Contact back for more and get back to me with YOUR FULL NAMES,NEAREST AIRPORT IN YOUR LOCATION AND YOUR FULL HOME ADDRESS IF YOU WILL LIKE THE PUPPY TO BE BROUGHT TO YOUR DOOR STEPS,thanks once more waiting to read from you as soon as possible
thanks

That scam and others like it have been going on so long, I wonder if anybody really falls for it?

yorkielvr41 · 01-17-2009, 04:12 PM

I would never buy a pup from anyone outside the U.S. it's just too risky. There are great breeders in the breeder section here. good luck
