Hi
I wish to report the below email address [with content] being used for fraudulent purposes, specifically advertising on gumtree selling dogs. This is a well known scam, these people are stupid enough to continually use the same format for their scam, not to mention that none of the information below actually makes sense. These dogs were advertised as being in Edinburgh, however from the content of the email, this is clearly not the case, in fact it is more likely they are ficticious dogs.
I am well aware this is definitely a scam as I work for the police in Edinburgh and have seen many people reporting the same scam, with the exact same email content. I have reported the matter to gumtree also.
many thanks
Catherine

Hello Dear,
Thanks so much for contacting us regarding our puppies. We have two avaialble. These puppies are extremely cute adorable, Champion bloodlines. Family raised, Well-socialized. Health guaranteed, vet checked. Micro chipped, Pre-spoiled and up to date on shots and vaccination. They are 11 week old presently and will come with all registration papers up to date. The Puppies will cost you 220 GBP Each. I am a single mother and i presently live and work in Kirkwall Actually we are looking for a new family for Our little puppies. They are now Available to any one that can afford to take care of them. The puppies belongs to my Son who works as a medical doctor and he has traveled with the puppies to Belfast to start a new job. He called me a couple of days ago and told me that, he is unable to take care of the puppies because he works for 10 hours a day and he usually goes out of town for seminars and research and spends about 2 weeks away. Unfortunately, he can't send the puppies to me because, I go to work at 8 am and only come back after 9pm and I am very much busy like him. So, my son and I have decided to give the puppies completely for rehoming to anyone who would be able to provide the puppies with the care and attention they needs. But if you will be able to travel up to Inverurie, Aberdeenshire, Scotland, AB51 3XN. and pick up the puppies, he will be very happy, But if you can't, You don't have to be worried about any thing coz he will be sending the puppies to you through pet transportation service and they will get the puppies delivered down to you at your doorsteps. All you would need to pay is 220 GBP and you will be paying the money directly to the transportation service Okay. All what he needs to know is that the puppies are going into a lovely and caring home where they will be well look after and keep him up dated with monthly progress that way he will be very pleased and knows that the puppies are doing well.
