I was looking on Uncle Henry's which is a sellers/buyer book here in Maine. I was looking on their website for puppies when I came across these adorable English Bulldog Pups. The add said they were only $250.00 and I couldn't believe it because they normally go anywhere between $1000.00. They then wrote back and said the pups were free to adopt, I would just have to pay $160.00 to the shipping agency. They said they would get the pup all registered and ready and I had to just wait to hear from the shippers (which they wouldn't give me the name of the shipping company). They then e-mailed me and told me they set it all up and I was to wait to hear from the company and I hadn't even told the lady that I wanted the puppy or which one I wanted. It was so obvious to me that it was a scam.
When I asked them why they wanted to give their pups away to someone so far away for free, they said they used to be missionaries in Maine and that they had to move to Sacramento, CA for their job. They also spelt words wrong and didn't word sentences correctly, which also made me curious. They were just very strange acting. Once the shipping company told me their company name, I looked it up on Bing and found all these reports. They are definately scam artists.
Luckily, I didn't give them any money and I ended it after reading up on this information. I just hope that people do their research before buying from people they don't know and cannot meet. Another thing, when the lady I was e-mailing gave me the number to the shipping agency, I called and when they answered they said "yeah?"... They didn't say "Good afternoon, International Cargo Movers, can I help you?" Just very numb acting. If something seems too good to be true, it probably is!
