A Scam beware

champstaffs · 09-28-2006, 10:28 AM

Hi guys i just wanted to make u all aware that there is a scam going on at the moment where people are offering free puppys especially english bull dog puppies, where they are offering them from abroad and all u have to pay is the shipping fee, i indulged a little bit more into it from a person who was offering this and they wanted us to go and pay money direct to them via money gram or western union.

Around about $300-$400

They did post a few pics of a few pups seperatly but when i asked for a pic of the dogs 2 together they started getting a bit funny, i have noticed a few of these on free ad pages.

And they are from africa saying they have relocated from the states

Just be a bit carefull, im not saying that any 1 would be stupid enough to pay money to any 1 before they have seen the pup or spoke to any 1 but these people did actually give me a number to call and after that they did call me to confirm if i had paid the money and was asking for a ref number.

I did contact the free ad pages and they have now been removed

Just be wary guys

That puts up a major red flag given they could sell them for anywhere from a thousand to two thousand dollars. What a scam. I wonder if anyone really sends those crooks money!!!

Anyone that ships dogs and doesnt give a hoot where they're going is the biggest backyard breeder imagineable and someone I wouldn't even consider getting a dog from even if it was free and they were PAYING ME...

I don't support those kinds of people but thanks for telling us
