BEEN LOOKING FOR A NEW PUPPY FOR MY JAPENESE AKITA TO HAVE A FRIEND IN, WHILST BROWSING FOUND LOADS OF ADS STATING IN THE LIVERPOOL AREA OF ALL AMAZING DOGS THAT WOULD NORMALLY BE QUITE EXPENSIVE. THEY ALL SAID 'FREE' TODAY AND TONIGHT IN TOTAL I HAVE HAD 7 REPLIES ALL TELLING ME I MUST PAY SHIPPING....RANGING FROM 150 TO 300!!!!! SOME WERE SAYING THEY WERE IN WESTERN CAMEROON AND OTHERS WALES. NO OFFENCE TO ANYBODY BUT WHEN SPEAKING TO THESE PEOPLE THEY WERE FOREIGNERS. I KNOW ITS SCAMS, THE PHOTOS WERE PROFESSIONAL PHOTOS AND STORYS FROM 'MY LANDLORD DOES NOT ALLOW PETS' TO 'MY WIFE DIED AND IT HURTS TO SEE THIS DOG SHE LOVED' WERE USED. PLEASE EVERYBODY BE AWARE, AND DONT HAND OVER ANY MONEY TILL THE DELIVERY OF AN ANIMAL

i know. these people prsy on the elderly and the naive but we shouldn't have to spend our lives being mistrustful of other peoples motives so we don't get shafted. try your local rescue centre or breed rescue if you prefer a pedigree-they all have lovely dogs desperate for a new chance in a loving home like yours. at least that way the dog will have been assessed to see if it is suitable to live with your existing baby and you wont get any nasty surprises! good luck

they are so easy to spot its untrue all you do is ask where they are located and the reply will be broken english and anyone that sends money to have a dog shipped is mad to be honest you never but never agree to pay unless you see the animal i spend hours sometimes seeking these scum out and mailing them i love playing them at their own game also all ip addresses can be checked too just google ip checker if you think its a scam
and in first mail give nothing away ask if you can collect the dog in person they never say yes
if in doubt too contact me i,ll soon tell you as most of them are the same people using diff names

good thing there are people like you looking out for them though cos i wouldn't know really what to look for and atleast if they get caught a few times maybe they'll think twice bought trying a scam. you deserve your fun, and they deserve to get caught out if they're as bad as that

I have been looking for a kitten for a while now and a couple of weeks ago saw an ad for pedigree kittens free to good home,i emailed them as i couldnt believe it and the man said he has moved to ireland and is not aloud to keep his kittens he had about 8 different kittens 'giving free to good homes' all pedigree and when he finally got to the point after emailing me so many times he said he could get them shipped over to me and delivered straight to my door for 150 POUNDS PER KITTEN! i smelt a rat and didnt reply and now i have just read this and couldnt believe it,your right to warn people and its made me 100% sure that my experience was a scam and i will be extra careful from now on so thankyou.

If you can't go and see the puppy steer clear!!
And shipping??? FFS!!!
I have labs for sale currently, and I am vetting the buyers!
If they won't come and see the puppies before they are ready for new homes, then sorry, they aint getting one!
these are living, breathing, loving creatures, whatever the breed, and to consider shipping is atrocious!

when i was looking for kenzo i got so many of these emails... one person emailed me saying they had baby marmosets for sale and i asked for a photo and they sent a pic of a capuchin in one pic and a macaque in another pic and claimed they were the same monkey and they were a marmoset. i mean come off it if you are gonna scam one at least know what the flipping animal looks like. some are so unbelivably easy to spot and some a littrle harder i had someone email me with marmosets from ' scotland' they knew i lived in wales and must have though i wasnt willing to travel. i said i will travel anywhere in the uk for the right baby and he said ok yes you come by my house and see the baby first and then we can arrange a flight directly to your door.. haha what the hell why would i need a plane from scotland to wales and a plane will land on my doorstep. sweeet what the hell are we using airports for then. my mum said well if he is willing to let us see the baby then we might aswell go and see if we can bring it home. so we arranged to go down and 2 days before we were due to go i had an email. hes ever so sorry but his mother is ill and he has had to fly to cameroon as a matter of urgency. if i send him the money via western union (NEVER USE THAT I WAS TOLD) then he will have the baby sent over to me immediatly and i can pay the rest of the money when it arrives as long as i pay the £400 shipping fees up front
haha some of these ads make me laugh when they expect you to fall for it it is madness and some people ar ebelow low.. does anybody randomly open there email account to find emails from people in other countries offering you money to tranfer a large sum of money into a bank account in our country? hmmm yeh trust random strangers with your bank details what a good idea LOL
