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

I responded to an ad on puppyterrority.com regarding Airedale puppies for sale in San Francisco, CA. I received a response back letting me know the pup's were his mother's who just passed away, and that the puppies could be picked up in Phoenix Arizona. I did answer his question and just waiting, so I looked at his other listing he has quite a few in different states, now I believe this to be a scam. See ad & his response email below to ad:

100% textbook Cameroon puppy scam.

They are banking on you being unable to travel to Phoenix.

If you were to offer to come pick up, they would either disappear, make excuses for why you can't pick them up, or demand money up front to show you are serious (or similar BS.) Either way, if you part with any cash you will lose it.

Thank you for confirming my suspicions, I am glad I was able to recognize that something wasn't right. I just hope others will too. I didn't realize that this was so common until I can across this website and read other postings.

Thanks again,

AngieM
