Re: Beware Of Internet Scammers
Hello,
I will like to say a big thank you for your reply,its so good to hear that the labrador puppies is still Aavialable i think it would be a great buy.Its perfectly okay with me. I travel a lot in my line of buisness hence the reason why i wont be able to come view the labrador puppies at your end.....im acting on your words on a basis of "mutual trust" thats why i will be proceeding to make payment for it.. and also am buying this pups for myself . and it will be good to let you know that i will be paying you with a bank draft or company's cheque that was intended for me through services rendered (£1,000). The only problem is that sum owed me by the investment company is more than the price of your labrador puppies. I would greatly appreciate if you could deduct sum of your labrador puppies (£200)from the amount and have the rest of (£800) sent to my shipping agent. so that they will come for the pickup of the labrador puppies in your location. I will wait till draft or cheque clears before i instruct my shipping agent to take up ownership of the labrador puppies on my behalf. I really am very sorry that it has to be this way but i do not want to miss out on this great buy. Please send me the following information below so i could have the company make out the draft in your name and send it to you immediately. Thanks. Full name............... Full address................. Mobile phone number................... Home number.............. Mr Bruce this is what was in my e-mail. does he think im stupid my reply was no

Re: Beware Of Internet Scammers
It really frustrates me that these scum of the earth people can quite happily scam money of innocent people who earn there cash the honest way and work hard for it too. The pensioners i feel sorry for.

Re: Beware Of Internet Scammers
It's amazing how this people work. I started to look for a puppy over 2 months ago and at the beginning I didn't know prices and the way to do things (apart to my logical & common sense) so I exchanged e-mails with a couple of sellers that were sending pictures of puppies that I was suppose to buy trading the money (low amount for a Chihuahua £200 or so) through Western Union.. In the end this couple (they are always lovely families such Mike&Anne.. that have some sort of health problems and live far away ?) were in Cameroon and said that I send the money and they would send the puppy through a pet shipping company (I could check the fake website and track the puppy, apparently).
In my case, this happened once and I never sent any money... didn't feel comfortable without seeing the puppy in person and at least with the mother. But I am concious these kind of scams are everywhere and a lot of people get caught on them... Please check the following gold rules before buying anything from the web: - Always meet the seller locally. - Meet your pet in person before buying. - Never pay for shipping. - Never wire money. This is basic. Now, good luck!! I am still looking for my Chihuahua puppy, I haven't lost the hope because I know there is honest people out there! xxStellina

Re: Beware Of Internet Scammers
I looked into buting a french bulldog a while back and I found tons of scammers. I found out they they are never where they say they are. Often have moved due to work! Their English is awful and they refuse to allow you to see litters. Never Ever but a pup or dog from the internet. Insist on seeing the parents and the litter mates. I gave up in the end the frenchie breaders we approached that were real where impossible to deal with some having a five year waiting list
 Anyone know of fairly priced frenchies let me know
