Gumtree - all locations

There are a TON of postings all over Gumtree right now advertising a lot of different types of puppies with the phone number 07023018860 (re-directing number). Google shows hit on other classified sites too.

Just wanted to post here so that anyone else searching the number may find this

Welcome HurricaneHayles and thank you for taking the time to register and post. We don't normally allow just a phone number posted without evidence of the scam but you're certainly right, that number is associated with tons and tons of scammer puppy ads.

I'm seeing them in Google preview and have not yet found the exact ads to be able to copy out the text of the ads. If you have any of that text, please do post it on this thread so that if anyone searches that info they will be lead here as well.

Here are just a fraction of the results showing in Google preview:

Please feel free to answer any of these questions:

Do you have any experience in breeding puppy ?
Do you have kids ?
Are you married ?
Promise me that you are going to take very good care of the puppy when it become part of your family?
Do you have a vet doctor ?
Are you interested in a male or female or would you like to have both of them?
Where about are you located ?
They're crate,house and potty trained and fast in making new friends.My
Pups are being toilet trained to a pad.They love playing with the
brushes and mop when you are cleaning.They have the WOW factor and
always wagg their tails.!!They like to cuddly and give puppy
kisses.They'll steal your heart if treated with love and care.
The puppies will leave me with an excellent 5 generation pedigree and
an EXTENSIVE puppy starter pack including a ceramic food bowl in blue
or pink, pink or blue blanket with the scent of home and mum (to help a
smooth settle), favourite toys, Royal Canin Mini Jr dried foods, all
the top quality foods your pups has been weaned onto, puppy pads,
treats, plus 4 weeks free insurance from PETPLAN.I do take exceptional
care of each and every one of my puppies. They are always up to date on their
shots and vet exams. Each receive dental cleanings once a month as well as nail
trimmings every other weekend. I monitor all their nutrition for optimum
health and follow a strict supplemental feeding schedule for all of them.
They also enjoy organic home cooked meals!The puppies and their
parents have regular vet checks to ensure perfect health, and each puppy
will have received their first series of shots prior to going home to their
new home. All my puppies will be extremely well socialized prior to going to
new homes, and will begin potty-training using a litter box. I am wanting £200.00 for
boys and £200.00 for the girls but it can be negotiable if you are really
interested in having one of my beautiful babies. They have been VET
CHECKED AGAIN at 9 weeks, and are de-flead and wormed to date.Mother
and Father have excellent pedigrees and so are the puppies.
Kindly get back to soon if still interested .
Regards!
