I answered an add placed on the Kijiji website for a $300 12 week old English bulldog.
I received an email reply from a Jennifer Lee (rev. [email protected]), she put me in email contact with Reverend Chris Kelly
"You're lucky to have mailed at this time because the puppy has just been placed on adoption by one of my customers, who went on a Missionary transfer with the West African Missionaries, West Africa. He is giving the puppy up for adoption for $300 because he cant take good care of the pup due to his busy and tight schedule at church and at his missionary work.
All he wants is someone that's homely and with a good home to adopt this lovely human best friend." he will give the Puppy to you if you promise to take good care of the puppy. He needs a Good and caring home for his puppy because he really wants the puppy to go to a good home. If you are willing to take the puppy contact Rev at [email protected]
Anyways we emailed him and this was his reply:
"Thanks for the mail. I quite appreciated your interest on your proposing in purchasing my puppy. I have 1 male and 1 Female puppies. But the question is that will my puppies be able to find a lovely home with you? Do you have a yard where the puppies can always play around? Is there any Children that can have time to play with the puppies mean while the puppies will never stay lonely?
Is there other puppies that my puppies can play with or kids??? If so i will be very glad and happy to give out my puppies to you. I am presently not in states. I was recently transferred to Nigeria on a missionary trip. Due to that its my first time of coming to Nigeria. I came along with prime intention of taking care of my puppy in continuation, but unfortunately the weather here in Africa is not conducive for my puppies.
This is how i have made up my mind through prayers and painstaking efforts in search for a reliable and God fearing person to help me take good care of my puppies. My little baby is only 12 weeks old and has a current vaccination, vet check, health certificate and 1year health guarantee. My puppies has potty trained, home raise and socialized for tremendous attitude.
I am giving her out for free and you just need to pay for her shipping fee and the shipping fee will cost you $300 each shipping included the both puppies are $500. I will be very glad to have you as a good caring parent for my babies only if you can take good care of the puppies as your own baby. Actually money is not what matters, but to find a good caring and loving person.
If you could be able to do these kindly send your contact details such as follow...
Full Name...?
Address...?
Phone Number and the nearest Airport close to your home where exactly the puppy will be be delivered to? With this i can make arrangement with the shipping Company for shipping preparation. According to the shipping Company, Shipping will only last for 24 hours to arrive the puppies to various locations in the State. May God Bless you as you do so."
His second email:
"Thanks for your response. I must say that am very happy to met a good home for my puppies and i am very convinced that they will be spoilt rotten by you. I will be forwarding this information down to the shipping company. Immediately i receive the payment, shipment will commence and i will send you all the flight informations and a tracking number that will enable you to know exactly (time) the puppies will get to your nearest airport for pick up. If you want to adopt the two puppies there's no problem, i will ship them to you and in the next two weeks you can pay the balance. Please promise to send me update pictures of you and them after three weeks of delivery for me to take a look at how they are kicking.
About the payment, it will be made through western union money transfer because it is the only way to receive money in West Africa. I have attach my wedding picture for you to know me.
Please let me know when i will send you the information that will enable you to make the payment. Thanks and God bless you.
At this point I wanted to believe this man was legit but this last email made me a bit suspicious and thats when I found other reports on this website confirming my suspicions. Chances are If you are reading this report my correspondense with the rev. Probably looks familiar to you, or at least it certainly did for me while reading Bella of Rhode Island scam repot.
Anyways We havent sent him any money and we do not plan to, fortunately we discovered the scam before getting to far with him.
$300 english bulldog, what were we thinking? The old adage is right, if it sounds to good to be true it probably is.
