As you can see from our conversation, she kept saying that the dog was ready even putting it in all caps at the top. If it wasn't for Western Union putting up an error message for me to contact them to complete the transaction, and then I decided to Google her name which braught me to this site. I would be out at least 350 bucks right now! I contacted the FBI about possible wire fraud and they told me to go to www.IC3. Gov to report it. This is a government web site for tracking wire fraud. All I wanted was a cute little puppy, is that asking too much? And by the way Shonia or what ever her name is has not tried to contact again since my last email to her (at the top). This is in regards to a lady I have been emailing back and forth all day today, this was her first email to me:
Hello and thanks for the interest in my puppies. My Pomeranian are very loving and very well socialized by myself and grand kids, we breed for good health, and good personality. Our puppies are gentle-mannered and affectionate, yet playful and full of animation. No line or inner breeding. My pups love kids. They are all gorgeous A KC pom puppies. Champion sired/lines, bred for quality and are vet check. Home-raised with sweet temperaments, they are 14 weeks old and currently on all their shots.
Our puppies are of both sexes which are very ready to go..
Their pics are readily available.
Please before i proceed i would like you to answer these few questions..
-Are you a breeder?
-Do you have kids Where they could play around with??
-What sex (es) do you what??
-when do you intern to have the baby.
-Where are you located
Thanks and hope to read from you again.
Regards
Mary
She emailed me pictures of four puppies to choose from and that is the hook, the rest of this is our conversations in reverse: At this point start at the bottom it will make more sence.

I'm sorry Western Union told me that this sounds like a classic fraud situation that they deal with all the time, in other words there is a lot of wire fraud been commited with Western Union to the point of them stopping people and asking them what the payment is for. So I would suggest that you come up with a third person that can verify the transaction. You must understand that it is a crap-shoot from my point of view wheather this is legitimate... Sam

Hi Sam,
You don't have to worry as you already have my contact details and i can be traced in case of any problems. This is what you will do, you take the money cash to any western union store close to you and send it there ok, that way it will be better. Thanks.

I'm sorry Shonia but western union stoped me from making the transaction and strongly suggested that I not do it this way, and I agree its too risky..
