I was searching online on oogle for an english bulldog puppy. I came across a profile that had a picture of a white english bulldog puppy for sale supposingly located in Lynn, MA. Contacted the person through an email address listed as jonesalex17@***.com . This is what he wrote...Hi,thanks for your interest in this my lovely puppy she is available and she is called NANCY,I am very sorry for getting back to you this late . i am just so concerned about her welfare and hope you can assure me of that,this puppy has been like a child to me and giving her out now is not for money making.she is barely 11weeks old and home raised, potty trained and well socialized and gets along perfectly with children and other pets.she is updated on all her shots and comes with a year health guarantee she weighs about 2.12ibs.she loves to be carried around and cuddled and full of caressing and kisses.she will come alongside the following- A year health guarantee-A KC registration papers-Pedigree papers-An air conditioned crate-Vet records-Food samples-Puppy toys Well i just got a new job which is just so demanding and make me travel a lot. As such, i have little or no time to spend with her and do live alone and as i am replying to you right now i am in (Seattle,Washington) with the puppy, she is really in need of a home where she will be provided with all the love, care and attention she is being deprived of here.I am currently on a 3months evangelical assignment which is the reason i am giving her out. however, i can have her delivered to you since i am a bit too far . but you will have to assure me that you will take proper care of her by answering to the below questions where are you located?are you married.................?Have you had a puppy delivered to you before.......................?Do you promise to take proper care of her.....?To provide pictures so i see how she is doing........? Thanks so much and get back to me if you think you can provide a good home.Best regards

I've seen the same format through other scams. they just change the type of breed and name of the puppy.

Then they'll say they're sooo busy that they can only ship the puppy and you have to wire the money through western union. fake. they'll ask for your name, address and phone number like this..

Hi , Thanks very much for getting back to me and i am very sorry for getting back to you this late,i am very happy and delighted that you are willing to provide my Nancy a good home and all the love and attention.i must admit that your family is the perfect match of my puppy.Nancy will be the best playmate and home companion you have ever dream off.Nancy have been deprive a lot from love,care and attention.she has been like my first daughter all along but i could not keep her pains when i could bare find time for my self ,i usually beg on Mrs carol, my neighbor here in (Seattle,Washington) who has four Siberian huskies to take care of her for me while i am away to work but she is tired of doing so and puts on an angry face each time i ask her to help me take care of Nancy .i decided to sent Nancy back to where we came from cause from what i see i do not like the way people handle their puppies here.How ever i can have Nancy deliver to your location today and all you will need to do is to pay for her delivery fee which can cost you $270 directly to the delivery agency after i must have had her register.I will be needing these information from you that i am going to use to do the registration at the delivery service...your full names ........your home address......... your post code...........your phone numbers......................city/state............and the nearest airport to your location.i Would have love to see you people in person but that is almost impossible now but i promise that i will pay you guys a visit when i have chance to see how you both are doing and to get to meet your family as well. please do take extreme care of Nancy for me as that has been my last wish.

a fake company called uship will send you this afterwards...

My daughter scammed out of 850 dollars

Guest

I was being set up for a scam today until I reviewed this forum after feeling it was to good to be true thank you for posting your experience. What was interesting he said he was in Atlanta Georgia so I checked the time there and asked him he took 47 seconds to answer also he was very persistent that I go to wire the money and offered to lower the price after I declined to buy the puppy. I took the advice of other people posting and now we are on our way to pick up or puppy in person.

Guest

I just got scammed too. Was trying to buy an English bulldog from a Xavier phrahm in Texas.

Sent him $100 STEAM gift card via text. I knew I was taking a gamble but did it anyway.

He then said that the shipping company ushippetshippingservice@***.com (fake) need $200 more for a new "electronic shipping crate" that's when I knew it was BS. I agree, never buy unless u meet dog and breeder!

Guest

Don't buy a dog that you cannot see in person first, unless it is from an AKC registered breeder. I tried buying a pug three times (there are none in my area) and they were all Scammers. Also, never pay by wire or western union or moneygram unless you know the party you are sending the money to.

Guest

Addendum: The guy with the French Bulldogs (or Sphynx kittens, Maltese, Shih-zu, basically anything that's exotic for Alaska) posts on Alaska Craigslist DAILY.

Guest

That *** is trying to scam me as we speak on he says he's from Dallas and a different name. It's a French Bulldog puppy though.

He says my total cost is $350. I got a quote to ship a dog to Alaska and it's over $1000.

Guest

This also happend to me. I payed 80p dollar for a puppy and get nothing.

Guest

Omg this is happening to me right now . I paid $300 for a fake ragdoll kitten that I was supposed to expecting to get today.

Thank god I didn’t fall for it when they asked me to pay the life insurance fee of $690.

What do I do now? It was an ad on hoobly.

Guest

6637 windrock rd, Dallas,TX,Ryan carterTexasDallas76550This person is scam, he stay that kitten is 450. Then he said send money from western union and rush to ask you to send money to them, help you to find where can send money.

After I send the first time $450. The money will delivery next day with $10 fee, he said No, do again to make the money can get it right the way, then he offer you can send $410+$40 fee. The night before I already feel weird, how come the ad will say seller from different states (you can see the pictures above) the after I sent the money at 12pm he try to keep me updated, then the fake Uship call,but Uship is close Sunday. I use the email address to check online, it pop out a scam post.

After I read it it said they will ask you to get money again. I was hoping that is not go to happen to me. At 9pm, that is happen. DAM it.

He is a SCAM. Also the other number as fake Uship customer service is 504266****

I was almost scammed - I am having my brother in law look into the pet shipping company and the breeder Royal TeaCup Breeder I sent them an email with what I found out and let them know it’s being looked at by a person with legal back ground

Guest

sorry to say but this just happened to me purchasing male and female pomeranians puppies and they did get me for 300 western union then they send email wanting 450 more for insurance but no did not happen I called airline and ask and it was all a scam

Guest

This is happening to me right now, and the owner of the bird I want is trying to get me to pay the “insurance” by sending it to him to get the bird to my house. I don’t know what I should do :/

Guest

This almost happened to me today. Luckily I saw this post and was able to get my money back from Western Union.

These people prey on us trying to find our fur babies.

They keep emailing me and calling me now trying to figure out what went wrong and why they haven't been able to steal my money yet.

I reported them and gave them the phone number they contacted me from.

Guest

The fake uship is now flagged. Western Union has a fraud alert transfers can't get through.

The next person that I saw fall victim too this scam could not get her money too them.

As for the fake dog breeders.

If you all help we can put an end to this. Middle men ARE on US soil.
