I found these peoples ad on craigslist when looking for a puppy. With a sweet story of how the woman was shooting a commercial and it was lasting longer than expected so she needed to find a loving home for her pet and was only asking for shipping charges of 135.00. Sounded so legitimate until they wanted me to go to walmart and wire money. Below is the correspondence I recieved from them. I copied and pasted.
