I have seen off oodle and some classifieds for German Shepherds for $300 with shots and everything included. I know too good to be true. But wait why is it so good? Because her son was hit by a drunk driver and her husband has heart cancer. She doesn't have time . she's always at the hospital the post is orignally from Prince NY , she said she's in Billing Montana . it will cost $300 to ship her puppies . after I felt compassion , the more questions I asked she didn't respond . I asked for pictures of the pups , there was only Two photos and they were just young pups . she stated tbsg were 9 weeks. I know what a 9 week old German Shepherd looks like. Everyone be ware of sob stories and shipping fees and wiring money PLEASE.

thanks for posting, Mia, and welcome.

I'm glad you did not fall for this scam. Remember rule #1 when adopting an animal, always meet the animal in person before adopting it. You never know how it will react to you or your family until after you have met face to face.

Other than rule #1, see this to protect yourself against pet scams :

Hello mia4748,

Please post the email address and telephone number used by this scammer. Also post the email that asked for the payment, be sure to remove your personal information first.
The email address and telephone numbers will help others who may be searching for information on this scam.

It is ALWAYS a scam
If the pet seller or shipper asks for money to be sent via Western Union, Money Gram, any brand of gift card. Walmart To Walmart , Zelle , PayPal friends and family option, or mentions Cameroon

the oodle address is for the fake advert.


a quick search of that # reveals about 40 different ads, from all over the eastern section of the US, all advertising imaginary pets.
