Scams selling or giving away non-existent animals, often Puppy Scams.

I visited a website called: http://www.lovelyhusky.com
It looked rather real, i emailed at: [email protected]
Their contact info turned into drakes siberian husky home!

I got a reply of:

Ok, Jake is still available and he is 9 weeks old and the pictures on our website are very current,So here are a few issues which i will like to make you understand and possibly address them before we proceed, 1st. I do NOT place our husky puppies in homes where they will just be breeding and making money without love and care giving to them like what i do or even more. 2nd. We do NOT let our husky puppies go to homes where they would live outside! 3rd. We will NOT place our husky puppies with anyone who has any history of child or animal abuse!! and the 4th. ALL of our new husky puppy owners must take time to educate themselves on how to properly care for their unique new husky child. 5th. and last but not the list, We will probably turn down homes that have a large number of other dogs. As our babies crave individual love & attention. As long as you can make us understand that you will share the love in your homes with these puppies, we will consider placing the puppy of your choice to your home, regardless of your location, even if you are not located within a driving distance, most often the homes that are most suited for our puppies are often suited far from a driving distance so we consider shipping as an option.
We are located here in Minneapolis, MN so we will have to ship Jake we consider shipping as an option and we make the shipping arrangements; this is because most often we find suitable homes for our puppies but they might not be located within a driving distance. I can guess what question you have in mind right now, 'Flying a Puppy'! Is it safe? This question is often asked. We certainly wouldn't consider it if it wasn't. I personally asked this question to the man of the shipping company on my first attempt to ship a puppy some couple of years back, and this was his answer to me "When we book a flight for a puppy it is only on safe and approved Airlines that have pet-safe programs " The puppy will have the same air as the pilot flying the plane & someone will be there to cater for him on board and off the plane until delivery is completed. When we go to book a flight for our pets, we always call ahead and find the most direct flight available (much as if you were looking for a flight for yourself) Our puppies have always arrived safe and sound in their new homes, he even went further to say that "it is better and more comfortable to fly a puppy on a 2-5 hours flight than drive with that puppy for 6 hours or more". And that I believe so much because I know they are professionals and will deliver the puppy safely.

Basically shipping a Siberian Husky puppy within USA requires the following for a pet-safe program:-

- Certified Health and immunization certificates $30
- Airline approved crate (sof-krate N2 Series) $35
- Climate controlled pet class flight fee $140
For a total of $205 for shipping and $380 for the puppy summing up to $585

The shipping process normally takes between 6-18 hours to complete.
We are not full time breeders and only breed for the sake of experience, My partner is in the military and i work for the civil service so breeding and selling puppies is not some kind of business for us as we do not look to make profits yet. We only charge a fee which is usually smaller than what regular breeders charge for this breed, our fee is just enough to cover feeding and medication and other expenses on each puppy until date.
Just get back to me as soon as you can so that we can advice you on the next step.
Thank you.
Drake


Then i replied and got an answer of:

Thank you for making us feel comfortable because I've been through your last email with my partner and we both feel comfortable placing our puppy in your home. Jake will cost $380 plus Shipping of $205 making a total of $585 so know all what you will spend in other to have him will be $585 and more over it will takes just some few hours flight duration to arrive there ,And again know once we have everything done and your baby being shipped out i will send you and email with the full flight details (Delivery recipient Airway bill number, and the Tracking number) and from there you will know the departure and the arrival time of your baby ok. The shipping process normally takes a couple of hours to complete, though sometimes it could take a little longer, how ever the whole process hardly exceeds one whole day.

Your puppy will come with a handbook that explains more on his life styles as well as feeding, and toilet habits. He will also come with his food menu , hand booklet (which explains everything about the puppy, his likes and dislikes) C.d Guide, Crate , Playing toys and a Puppy Care Kit which includes some helpful information, that should help you facilitate the transition process in your home. I'll advice you to get the following grooming tools within a month or two from now: Shampoo, Conditioner, Pin Brush, Nail Clippers, Ear/Pad Trimmer, Ear Lotion, Scissors. About food, I feed all my puppies Wellness dog food, Grain-free or Purina One and NuVet Vitamin's that are excellent for them. I choose to feed Purina One because it is relatively modest and is readily available across the United States at most department or grocery stores. There are many opinions on which dog food to use.
This is a decision only you can make, but keep in mind Purina has been making dog food for over 50 years and they do extensive research on nutrition and protein. Other dog foods may cost more but that doesn't necessarily means they are better.

Get back to me with the following information so I can start the flight and ownership arrangements:-

Address and telephone number:

Preferred hours of Pickup of puppy from airport:


Thanks and Waiting

Yes, it is a scam.

Please buy or adopt your pet locally where you can physically see the pet and the conditions it was raised. Plus meet the owner/breeder.

There is no address or phone number on the site, the site including testimonials was written by an African, and at least one picture of a puppy was taken over five years ago as found on a Tin Eye search. This site has been reported for fraud.
