Dachshund puppy scam - [email protected]

Last week I responded to an ad via ozfreeads.com advertising Dachshund puppies for sale.

Here is the response I received from the scammer [email protected]

This is similar to other responses I received to enquiries I've made via ozfreeads.com for Dachshund puppies....

"Hello

Nice reading from you and thanks for your interest in my Dachshund
Puppies

. I have a1Girl still Available and I have attached some
pictures of her . The Boy is Call Girl Della
11 weeks Old , A.K.C Registered , house and Potty Trained. They
have the most dazzling of temperaments. They will inherit the highly
intelligent, affectionate self-assured, happy, loyal, gentle, sociable
and have the most dazzling color temperament as their parents .
Absolutely gorgeous and so perfect. Very sweet, loyal and loving! A
total sweetheart ready for your love! . The puppies were born in our
living room, and have stayed in our home as part of our family until
now that they are ready to leave for their new homes . They are used
to all the household noise and commotion that goes with a family.They
have been and will continue to be handled every day by children and
grandchildren, and are socialized with all our other dogs that make up
our family. They are ready to leave us now. All the puppies have been
injected against warms and other diseases . We also try to have the
puppies accustomed to being bathed, blow-dried and brushed and will be
house-trained to the puppy pee pads . As per my Location, I'm
presently in Perth, Western
Australia and I'm here with the puppies . So if you
can make a trip down to Perth, Western
Australia ,then i will be very glad
welcoming you in my house but if you cant make it to Perth then
i can arrange for a Pet Shipping Service to have the puppy(s)
delivered over to your home address . I shall be using a Reliable and
Trust Fast Pet Transport Service from here Called the ( Small Dogs
Carriers ) . This is going to cost you $500for each puppy including
shipping .

Concluding, i will like to ask you some few
questions which if answered i shall feel very
happy when reading your reply and intern sending you more pictures
about of the puppies .

Where are you Located ?
Have you ever had a puppy before ?
How Soon Do you want the puppy(s) ?
Are you Interested to have both or just one ?
If Just One, will you Prefer to have Della or Rocky?
Are You Okay Having Him/Her delivered Over to your Home if you Can't
make it here ?

Sorry for all the Question its just that i want the very best for my puppies."

Thanks for your enquiry about my puppies. I have a male and a female ready to leave for their new homes. The male is Mickey while the female is called Millie. They are 12 weeks old, vet checked and love the company of children and other household pets. They are healthy and have all their complete documents. I am offering a health guarantee too. They are registered, potty trained, home raised (in our home) and have been socialized for tremendous attitude. Before we proceed I will like to ask you some few questions.

Have you ever raised a puppy before?

Do you have any experience with this breed?

Why are you looking for a pet?

Do you have a vet around your home?

Where are you located?

Will you like to have the male or the female or maybe both siblings?

How soon do you need any or both of the pets?

I just want to be sure these puppies would be going to the right home and they would be having all the love and attention they need. Looking forward to your reply.

Thank you.

Please buy or adopt your pet locally. This way you can physically see the pet, meet the owners and make sure the pet is compatible with your family.

New here! Got to say, thank you so much for this post!! I was dead set on buying 'Lorettas' pug, and was very close to parting £450. I did a quick search of her name and this post came up, thanks guys!!

Glad we could help! Has Loretta changed email address or anything else?
