I was sooooo close to buying from this person. I had already given my address and phone number as well. It was just a matter of time before I had to pay to this shipping company he was speaking of. At first he was asking for $400 for the dog itself, I informed him we could not afford that much and asked for him to knock a hundred off. He did but as he did so, he introduced a shipping fee of $300. I informed him we could not afford that either.
He replied saying that he completely understands and said he would only charge $400 total and I had to pay the shipping people upfront when they called. I started getting suspicious so I decided to do a bit of research on potiential scams and ran across a few things. I noticed a link that said something along the lines of an actual scammers email <removed link to external site> MW Which was the same exact email I had received from this person! I also found on a sight signs of being scammed and the guy was mentioning every single thing that the site was listing.
I have now informed them that I was canceling and would not be paying anything. If we need to get our number changed due to calls, we will but so far so good. That was a pretty close call. I figured I'd share this guys email address in the first photo along with a picture of the pups he was 'selling/giving away'.
