Hello,
Thanks for the mail and your interest toward my lovely babies.
Ryan and Kelly are the two available puppies for pet lovers and
christian homes. Ryan is the male and Kelly is the Female. They are
all registered with the following animals registration club know as
AKC and are veterinary checked, vaccinated, have all health records
till date and are 12 weeks old. They are good associate with kids and
other house hold pets also simple to learn. I'm given them out because
I'm a missionary and the apartment given to me, the landlord does not
accept pet. More-so, because of my very tight and busy schedule which
make me to spend lesser or no time with my little angels. I'm based in
Salt Lake City, UT. I happened to post the ad with my credit card and
it was posted in the entire states.Before approving your home for my
puppies, I will like to ask you some questions,

-Are you use to pets?
-Are you sure that you are going to take care of any of my babies?
-Gift me a Brief Description about your Environment?
-Do you have a vet doctor?
-Do you want the male or female?
-Where exactly are you located?

My greatest desire is to find someone who can properly take care of
these puppies and if you can I will be very grateful, I can arrange
for the shipment of these puppies tomorrow morning if you won't be
able to come for pick up since the distance is too far. If this is
okay by you, I will immediately need the following details in order to
drop off the puppies as soon as possible at the delivery agency so
that delivery can be done to your home soonest.

Names in full............
House address.....
City/State............
Postal code........
Mobile number.....
Land line number......
Nearest airport.......

Be reminded that these puppies are for free and all you will have to
do is to pay $300 for shipping fee only for each of the puppies to the
delivery agency which would deliver these puppies to your home. My
prayer is that you love and care for these puppies just as my daughter
did and I will always be grateful to you If you should..Do let me know
If all is fine.

Thanks

it is definitely a scam ( or at least , the start of one). Thanks for posting it.

Have they told you the name of the (fake) shipping company they will use yet? How about any phone #'s or any other information that might be useful for people doing internet searches to see this for the scam it is? Please post any additional information you can, except for your own info, of course.

Please read this article about pet scams, and never ever ever think about buying ( receiving) a pet you have not met in person. You have no idea of its temperament, and it may hurt you and/or your family if you do bring home a strange pet.

The writing is that of someone from Africa, not America. It is a scam.

Did you find out or buy the puppies? I just got a similar email and was womdering the same thing and I was really hoping this is the one.

Mike Wilson is a moderator of this site, he was not looking to buy a puppy, he is exposing the scammer [email protected].

Please buy your puppy locally, after physically visiting the seller - you will not only avoid being scammed by Internet scammers, but also ensure that there are no problems with the puppy.

Have Received a similar email from the same person but rather for a British Shorthair Kitten. They seemed not to be a native speaker and also was pressuring me to pay before. We were even going to make an 11 hour trip to get them from Utah!! Im glad i googled their name and found this website i just saved a lot of time and a lot of money.

Was it from the same email address? Two people can have the same name, especially when the name is made up and shared among scammers. Please post the email.

The email was from [email protected] and it read:

The rest of the conversation was me asking if i could drive to pick them up and him pressuring me to make a deposit which i refused to do. Here is his phone number as well...(703)-544-9159. When called it is said it was google voice number. All of his responses were obviously copy pasted and ended with him just saying if your lucky to even get one if you dont make a deposit almost every time i asked a question.
I started to realize that he may not be who he says he was and thats when i google'd. When i read back his messages they seemed like they were in broken english and to be honest i have never heard anyone say vet doctor...

+1-703-544-9159 is in Virginia, not Utah, and the writing is still African.

Okay but the address was still Larry Hufty 134 South 400 E Salt Lake City Utah

The scammer is located in Western Africa and everything that he told you was a lie to steal your money. I am glad that you discovered the scam before you lost any money to this scam.

So glad you guys posted this. I was contacted by that email and phone number, offerring to sell 2 maine coon kittens. He told me i need to pay the shipping agency with money gram. Sounds like a scam to me.
Then i cam across this post. Thanks so much guys. You just saved me $1400

Thank you very much for this site and the inputs! This person is now selling Russian Blue kittens "from" Kansas City. You've saved me a lot of headache!

The ad uses the phone number "703xx 544 xx 9159" and has a picture of a British Shorthair. Obviously, he/she doesn't know cats and is just looking to separate people from their money.
