I received an e-mail from a Jones. [email protected] about offering 2 FREE Yorkie puppies. The e-mail contained pictures and names of the presumed puppies. However, through several e-mails back and forth and several questions this presumed reverand that had just left the states for Africa could not answer, I decided to insist on questioning him! I continually asked for the airline the puppies would be shipped on, NO ANSWER! I also asked about the ministry he was on missionary mission with, he said it was the LDS, but his e-mail states a Christian missionary? The address and name of a PERSON not a Company to send the presumed $450.00 I had to send to get these FREE puppies shipped to me etc...
See the following attachments from this individuals e-mails:
Hello
Thank you very much and i'm very very happy to read from you about your response on taking good care of the babies. They are 14weeks old and both home trained and outdoor trained also playful with other animals and kids. The male named (bobby) weigh 2lbs and the female named (lee) weigh 2.5lbs and will weigh big when fully grown. They are both A K C registered and shots are given up to date and both home trained. Both of them are my darling sweetheart and super spoiled! They both have a sweet personality and loves to play and be carried around. But i'm very sorry to tell you that it is too late for you to get the babies now. What really happened was that i just left the state for africa in some few days ago after i posted the the ad the 2 Yorkshire Terrier Puppies on the newspspper and before i left, i did not get any response from anybody that could take very good care of them for me. So i got a missionary call from our missionary head quaters in africa, then i have to bring the babies along with me here in africa since i couldn't find someone to adopt them before i left the state. I'm still willing to give the babies out to someone who can take very good care of them for me forever.
All papers will accompany the puppies when shipped to you, Due to our long staying over here in africa, and the bad weather my Wife and I have concluded to get good home and care for our babies. We are not charging or selling them to you for money but to save thier lifes saved and care for them so this means that, you and i will be paying for the shipment of the puppies to you. They are VET checked, but right now we are in Africa on a Christian mission with my wife and 3 kids together with bobby and lee, we have the puppies right here with us. We are going to ship to you via a Diplomatic Courier Service Company with Express Delivery on next day delivery, if you are really interested in having my little babies, i will like you to get back to me with the Below information i can find out shipping to your Nearest Airport and we both responsible for the shipping

I've attached pics of bobby and lee. Please if you know that you are not capable of taking very good care of my babies, do not reply me because i am giving them out because of bad condition and we're spending months for the christain mission and i don't want bobby and lee to die in this bad weather. And because we don't have time to take care of them due to the missionary work before us here. They are priceless to me, therefore i am giving both for free. Please i want you to promise me that you will take very good care of them as soon as they get to you. Thank you and God bless you and your family.

Rev, jones
Hello
Thanks so much for the reply and also the love you are showing in getting and caring for my babies. I will really appreciate it if you could please promise me again that you will take good care of them Also let me know if you will be able to send me pictures of them monthly to me here. I have just got off the phone with the shipping company and i was told that the shipping cost of the babies to United states is will be $900 and i think you know that we will both be responsible for the payment as agreed. So let me know if you will be able to come up with the $450 on your part so the babies can leave Africa due to bad weather if we can make the payments of babies immediately I will like to know if you are ready with the shipment so that i can proceed with the shipment arrangement.
Thanks

It is 10P.M. At night here, there is no place open for a transaction of that amount. What city are you all located at in Africa? What missionary group do you all belong to? Where were you all here before you were sent to Africa, I mean what city. Sorry for all the questions, but it's just curosity as we also do some missionary work ourselves.
ME (NOTE: He did not even know that it was 10P.M.in San Angelo, but he stated he was from Tahoka TX, which is like 2 hrs away from San Angelo TX!)
Hello
thanks for the question is good to know about one another i am afliated with the LDS and am from tahoka tx and am in lagos city which is their capital here, will it be tomorrow morning or when so that i can go with the babies to the shipping company for the shipment,
rev jones
LDS? Also where about is Tahoka TX? I am from Texas, but I have not heard of this town, is it a small town? I am from El Paso, TX originally. I guess tomorrow I can try yo get all this worked out. I have a couple or more questions. This is being sent to an individual vs. A shipping company at say the airport? What airline are they sending them on? I would feel more comfortable getting an address and name of a company at the airport vs. A payer name of: Balogun Semi?
Sorry for all the questions, but I just do not feel comfortable sending these much money to just anyone. I tried calling the numbers you gave me and maybe I did not dial a country code or something, but I was unable to get through. Again, my apologies, but one has to be careful with money now a days, especially with the economy the way it is.
I also checked and there is no flights scheduled into Midland's Airport from Lagos Nigeria. Where and how are they shipping them to Texas?
Thanks,
ME
Hello
i have not got any message from you. If you not intrested in them any more PLS write back to me,
rev jones
I was just sent a Scam alert on this types of transactions, so I am very leary about this issue. Had you been here in Tahoka, TX? This might not have been a problem, but sending $450.00 to Nigeria, which is extremely known for scams, I think we are passing this by, love your pictures of the dogs, but too many inconsistencies on these transactions. I will checked on the company you sent me in Google!
Me
I have not received an answer yet, is this something that I need to know, Reverend?
Me
I never did hear from this individual again so far it has been 24hrs and no response to my allegations and my findings. I did send another e-mail to notify him and also mentioned I would report this if a scam, maybe that is why he got affraid and did not answer.
FREE YORKIES, TSUI SU etc... Are all scams. I have read other e-mails that were reported and they are almost identical, except dog names are different and locations different, but ALL of them in Nigeria! See the trend here! BECAREFUL, do not send money to any of these scammers!
