There is a guy who published an ad in the KU newspaper, that ended up being a scam. I searched the letter on the internet and it ended up being the same except the names of the dogs were changed and the name of the Rev.
Here is the email:
From: Paul Ben
Subject: REGARDING MY PUPPIES
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 18weeks old and both home trained and
outdoor trained also playful with other animals and kids.
The male named (RICCY) weigh 2lbs and the female named
(TITA) 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 on the
newspaper 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 headquarters 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 their 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 TITA and RICCY, we have the
puppies right here with us.
We are going to ship to you via a Parcel Track
Courier Service Company with Express Delivery on next day
delivery, if you are really interested in having my little
babies, i want you to get back to me with your full
Name, Home Address, direct contact phone number and name of
the nearest Airport to you. 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 christian
mission and i don't want TITA and RICCY 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, so i will like you to get back to me with your full
name and full address including your nearest airport so that
i can find out shipping cost.
I've attached pics of RICCY and TITA.
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.
Regards.
Rev. Paul Ben
He added photos of a skinny not so furry yorkie with a bow in his hair.
And then added another photo of a more furry yorkie lighter in color with two bows in her hair.
Beware, it is a scam.
