Boronia Posted October 21, 2010 Share Posted October 21, 2010 I occasionally receive an email from an on-line site that people can sell stuff on, (including dogs). I received an email this morning regarding some Westies. I answered the email, telling the seller I live in Townsville (I don't) through my Yahoo address as it appeared suss, and after two (decidedly odd) emails from the owner who wanted to GIVE me the pups (instead of selling them for $100 ) I received their "Pedigree Certificate" I can't figure out how to make the image bigger...sorry I also received photos of the pups they don't look 12 weeks old! She goes on to say.....I ask a near by pet delivery agency and the delivery cost is 300 AUD for one of the puppies to be deliver at your home address in SYDNEY. But if you are interested in the two puppies then the delivery cost is 520AUD The information i will need from you to send the puppies over are : Your full name ............................ your full address ...................... Your phone number .............................. the nearest airport............................ The Puppies will come with all veterinary checks, pet degrees, and the adoption agreement. Please, if you are ok, we can go and register the pups tomorrow and the puppies will be delivered in about 4 hours time. again, thanks for the love you have for the puppies. Lucky she says AUD...I could have mistakenly paid in USD or even pesos. delivery I am happy with as I will have them in 4 hours sheesh Once again prospective dog buyers may/will get scammed, so be aware!

~Anne~ Posted October 21, 2010 Share Posted October 21, 2010 It is probably useless as nothing can really be done, but it might be worhtwhile tracking down the owner or breeder and lettin gthem know some dirtbag is trying to scam mooney form people using their certificates. Breeders shoul dnever put copies of papers on their websites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aziah Posted October 21, 2010 Share Posted October 21, 2010 She's obviously found the copy online of the Lab bitch I postd above and has just removed owner details and changed the breed and added male and female... Crazy people! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boronia Posted October 21, 2010 Author Share Posted October 21, 2010 Go to the police. Ok, did that Steve, I sent an email to '[email protected]', probably a time waster for them but perhaps they will do some checkin' (or will just pick up two little westies instead! ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dust Angel Posted October 21, 2010 Share Posted October 21, 2010 There is very similar writing in an ad for horses on allclassifeds.
