She will definitely make a good addition to your home. We had every
intention of keeping her however our job and time allows less time for
her. She is 10 weeks old and %500.

Could you post some more emails they sent? Did you find the dog on a website, or did they direct you to a website which claims to be of a breeder?

i was trusting him cus not telling me about western union or money-gram. here is our conversation [url][URL=http://s1017.photobucket.com/user/hoanglongvu1988/media/IMG_0418.png.html][/url][/url]

Please post the emails in plain text, copying every misspelling, extra space, and missing space exactly, not as an image. Others cannot find text that is posted as an image.

Exact same scam...word for word but for a French bulldog!!!

Welcome to Scamwarners,

Was the email address the same? Please post it.

Did they direct you to any website?

Is there a shipper email address?

The current post is a year old. Can you update with new information. Thank you.

Hi guys! Kind of URGENT. He is at it again but with the email [email protected] WORD FOR WORD same conversation. I thought this was too good to be true so googled his email and this is the page I found. So there you go. He isn't stopping and I am MAD. I haven't given him any money. Lucky i thought to check it out.

i just got this scam too. Once I found this website, I resisted replying and calling him names, and instead asked for bank details. What can be done to report this? I have screen shots but I can't seem to add them here
