Scams selling or giving away non-existent animals, often Puppy Scams.
by candypickles93 Wed Jun 17, 2015 1:27 am
Anyone who posts an ad for puppies anywhere near you is a SCAM. I've seen this email [email protected] used for the sale of different puppies from different locations. As well as this number: 850 792 1166. They claim that they have just gone away, which is why when you ask them where they are they will never be in your city. Ever. I was almost a victim but upon further research I found out they were Scammers!! They wanted me to send them money, and I was able to cancel all transactions and contact with them upon finding out. They are from Cameroon, they will not say that at first but when they want payment, they will eventually ask you to send money via Western Union or Money Gram. They will send ridiculously long emails like this one:

"Hello,

have.We have two males and two females puppies now available and they
are 14 weeks old, they have very good temperament with kids and other
pets,very playful love to play around with toys and kids,they are

these puppies out because my mum just died. She is located in
Phoenix,Arizona and all of us are there now ..She was the owner of
this cute little babies. Since she is now late , We can't keep the

They send long emails with questions like that just, questions to make it seem like everything is real. They will then say that they will ship it to you at NO COST. They will even have a "shipping company" call you, under the number: 7012033580 or 7014468046 and email you ([email protected]) with photoshopped pictures of a ticket and transfership of ownership papers.

When you answer their emails in whatever fashion or form, they will send a generic email. I asked a few questions and they gave me this even though I had already answered questions for them:
