Hello
Thanks for the message and interest you have in adopting a puppy from
us .We have available 3 puppies going out for adoption to any loving
and caring home (2 males and 1 female). The female is called Momo
while the males are Lary and Popo .Our puppies are healthy, vaccinated
and have pedigree . They are 12 weeks old and are sociable puppies
since they love the company of kids, cats ,monkeys and other house
pets . Attached to this email are recent pictures of our puppies .Our
puppies shall be coming with all their health papers , play toys,
feeding manual , brushes, blanket since we shall not be needing those
accessories once they are gone into their new home . The reason we are
giving our puppies out for adoption is because we are moving into a
new apartment were animals are not allowed . In this situation,we are
searching for new homes for the puppies but we are much concerned on
the type of home our puppies go into . In order to adopt a puppy from
us you are required to answer the questions below,
1) How old are you ?
2) Where are you located (state / city ) ?
3) What is your cell phone number ?
4) Are you married ?
5) Do you have kids at home to play with the puppy ?
6) From the pictures we sent ,which of the puppy or puppies are you
interested in getting ?
The reason we ask those questions is to be sure our puppy is going
into a loving and caring home,were he or she shall be spoiled with
lots of love and care . All you shall be spending is $350 which
happens to be the delivery cost from . We shall have to transport and
deliver the puppy of your choice to you alongside his or her
accessories . We shall not reply to any email if the person does not
answer the questions above since we are concerned on the type of home
our puppies are going into . More information regarding on how the
transportation of the puppy to your location shall be carried out will
be provided to you once we receive your reply

Second e-mail scam from [email protected]
Hi ,
Thanks for the reply to our message and with the answers provided
,we think your home shall be able to provide our puppy with lots of
love and care . As mentioned in our previous email, we are currently
located in New York were i was sent for my new job and shall be
transporting the puppy of your choice from here to you . Regarding on
how the transportation and delivery of the puppy to you will be
carried out , all our puppies are crate trained and shall be placed
inside their crates before transportation to your location . The safe
delivery of the puppy to your location is guaranteed since there are
delivery agents on plane who take proper care of the puppies while on
plane until arrival at your closest airport . Upon arrival at your
closest airport , the doorstep delivery agents shall pick up the puppy
and make sure delivery is complete at your home . In order to make
the delivery arrangements at the airport for the puppy to be
delivered, we are going to be needing your complete delivery
information so as to make arrangements for the delivery of the puppy .
So we are going to be needing the following details in order to
deliver the puppy of your choice to you ,
Your full names
zip code
state
city
contact numbers ( cell phone and home numbers)
Complete house address and name of the closest airport to your home
Once we receive these details , the delivery arrangements shall be
made at the airport and you shall be provided the flight information
so you know the departure and arrival time of the puppy at your
closest airport and the exact time delivery would be complete at your
home . As soon as the puppy arrives your closest airport , the
doorstep delivery agents shall notify you with a phone call before
delivery is complete at your home . Upon delivery at your home address
the delivery agents shall give you all the accessories coming with
the puppy and you shall sign the delivery papers confirming to have
received the puppy is good health . The $ 350 shall be needed so as to
make the delivery arrangements at the airport since the puppy cannot
be transported without the delivery fees been paid .All we want is a
loving and caring home for our puppy , so you have to promise us that
you are going to send pictures to us from time to time so we see how
the puppy is doing in your home . More information on how the payment
shall be done would be provided to you once we receive your delivery
details and specific puppy you want us to send to you.
