I was intrested in buying a puppy so typed into Google 'pug pups for sale', when looking i found a website adoos.co.uk and there was a guy on their giving a way free pug puppies because he was moving away to Canada. I called his number on his advert which is 07023057763, asked about the puppy. This is when he explained about moving and that he has one male pup and 2 females. I was intrested in a male pup and he asked where i live so told him and then he explained he was in Scotland, would i like to pick it up or have the pup sent by Courier. I said well its the other side of the country so suppose courier service. He said to send him a email which is [email protected] with address and he would have the forms done and go from there. He said there would be a 90 charge for the Courier and he would get them to call me to explain details and times for delievery. I sent him the email and he sent the following:
hello dear, <br style="font-weight: bold;"> thanks for your delivery information, i will keep the baby and deliver him to you on Friday next week, that is fine and also attach to this mail are some pictures of the male puppy that i will be sending him to you i hope you love him, he is 12 weeks old he is hand raised and home trained with all papers.he is AKC registered and have a good relationship with kids and other pets, he is vet checked with up to date vet records and he is ready to go for adoption with free cage and toys. he will be coming along with a booklet that will let you know everything about hes feeding and how to take care over him, so please i will like to be receiving your mails all the time so that i will know that you are rely willing to take him thanks
I grew suspicious when he said about moving to africa so did some research, i entered his mobile number into Google and another advert came up on same website but different name and email address, the other one is same number but the email address is [email protected] So we pretended to be someone else and what do you know it was the same guy. I emailed him about wether i pay in advance or on day, he replied with this email:
that is a good qustion but the delivery angency will like you to pay the 90 to them firt before they can carry out with the delivery, because the 90 is for the flight ticket of the puppy and without the flight ticket the baby cannot travel so you will paying, directly to them, and once the will contact you and you pay the money to them they shall then email you the full flight information of the baby so that you will know the time of arriving at your home, for you to be at home and recive the baby thanks
I grew more suspicious so i called him and asked for the name of the courier he is using he said it was a company called 'air animal agency' so i put it into google and what you know it was a scam company. I decided to call him back and i said i would be coming to Scotland at the end of the week and will pick it up in person, he said no 90 for agency, i said no coming in person. He said to us if money a issue i pay 40 and he will pay 50 (some money is better than no money) and i said no coming to pick it up what your address, he said call me in morning and will give me the address and then HE put the phone down.
He is African and speaks not clear english but can understand him enough, i nearly lost 90 but i did my research and glad i did because i would have been pennyless and dogless.
Good Luck to everyone and make sure you do research if it seems to good to be true, just putting a few details into google makes alot of difference.
