I responded to an add for a puppy. The add was well written and in perfect English.
After a couple of emails back and forth, I was surprised to see that the quality of the language used deteriorated into "Pigeon English".
I did some research and found that this person seems to scam people to send her money to ship expensive puppies to them for only the cost of shipping.
Here is a partial text from one of her replies to me.
"Hello
It was nice reading from you, Thanks for the answers and you have a wonderful family am happy to see their pics, i now no am sending my
puppy to a home that is full of pet lovers, all i need is a home that will love and take good care of the puppy more so sent me update pics of how they are doing. Here are come pics attach below,
Details about the puppy, they are home and potty train vet check and will be coming with a 1 year health guarantee papers, they are 8 weeks
old, and love the companion of kids and other home pets, the puppies are been race in our home, they live with us indoors, We have
relocated to Hawaii and will be so happy if you will come for the pick up, as we will like to know you in person, but if to far and your
are so busy to meet with us we could arrange shipping and home delivery The puppy including home delivery will cost you $350, if that is ok, by you then you get back to me with your details in this"
I Googled her name and found several scam reports.
$350.00 total for a champion bloodline puppy which includes shipping? Not bloody likely.
Caveat emptor.
