Kijiji Puppy Scam - Boxer puppies

Hello everyone, I was recently contacted by a man through a Kijiji ad I posted about wanting a Boxer to add to our family. Being that he replied to an Ontario Kijiji ad, I assumed he'd be local. The first set of questions didn't seem fishy to me, so I replied. The third e-mail had red flags all over it. A free purebred puppy and all I had to do was pay for shipping? Seemed too good to be true.

I did a bit of googling to see if this guy has tried this stunt with anyone else but couldn't find anything... Then I copy/pasted some of the text into google and found e-mails very similar to this one. Thank you so much to everyone who's posted their experiences with puppy scammers, you were a huge help!

Here's the e-mails he's sent me:

Hello
Thanks for emailing in regards to our puppies and.We have two
puppies available and their names are Cindy and Brandon.Our family
takes great care to make sure all our puppies are very socialized and
come with all up to date shots.The puppies are just 12 weeks 2 days
old, CKC registered,vet checked, good temperament with kids and other
pets.We exercise regularly and take the puppies always for a walk!
They are purebred.All our puppies are raised in the same home and
environment. I will like to ask some few questions if you don't mind.

-Are you a breeder?
-Are you familiar with this breed of Puppies?
-Do you have kids?
-Do you have a Vet Doctor?
-Where exactly are you located?
-What is your mobile number?
-Are you interested in both puppies or just one? if one a male or a female?

Sorry for all the questions but i just need to know more
information about the kind of home and environment the puppies will be
going to.

My regards...

Thanks very much for getting back to me regarding my lovely female puppy.

Well i am giving them away for free adoption because i was just posted to work in Calgary,Albert.

I am located in Calgary,Alberta.

So i don't want to go along with my puppies so that's why i want to give them out to any pet loving family okay.

So if you can promise me you are going to take very good care of her,then i will gladly give her out to you okay.Well,if you can promise to send us update pictures of the puppy when she becomes part of your family then we have no problem arranging for her to be delivered to your home using a pet delivery service.Also we shall require all your details to do the change of ownership papers and arrange for the delivery as well,and the details are as follows:

Full Names
Home Address
Postal code
City
Land Line Number
Mobile Line Number
Nearest Airport To Your Location

As soon as we have the details,we shall prepare the change of ownership papers before we do the registration with the pet Courier service.Do get back to us with the details so we can prepare the change of ownership papers and do the registration with the courier
service for delivery.The delivery fee will cost you $250 for one puppy,and you will be making the payment directly and upfront to the delivery agency that will be delivering this puppy to your home address okay.

I like that he used the word "okay" after every sentence too.

Just stop talking to him and don't tell him how you found out it's a scam.
