LizT Posted August 2, 2010 Share Posted August 2, 2010 Just got one of those stupid emails, you know like the "Lottery wins' and "you have been named as a beneficiery" type of email from a dude wanting to sell a 12 week old fully immunised, AKC registered 'puppy' for $650 as he has to move states (living in Michigan) and basically it's a "Can you provide a good home for my baby?" type of email wanting to know everying about you and your spouse from where you live?, how many kids? what do you both do for a living? etc. Oh, not a mention of breed, of course I deleted it. What next? Wndering if it's random and coincidence that I'm 'into' dogs or have they got my email from a Pet Goods supplier I've used in the USA? What next? Wonder if they're Nigerian??

Tansy Posted August 2, 2010 Share Posted August 2, 2010 Do you have a breeder or dog profile listing here on Dogzonline? I use a different address for Dogzonline than my 'regular' email address, and this scam email went to the Dogzonline one. So, I think they have gone through and collected email addresses that way. I thought 'next day delivery' guarantee to Aust was pretty impressive LOL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genabee Posted August 2, 2010 Share Posted August 2, 2010 The lady at the bank was telling me about this yesterday! She got one and reading between the lines I don't think she is the biggest dog lover... I haven't got one... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
