Is this phoney or for real?
I posted an ad on a local website looking for a female collie puppy. Almost immediately I got a response. I am going to copy and paste all the e-mails I got from them, something doesn't add up to me. They haven't given me there names or any pictures of said puppy like I asked for. They say the only thing I need to pay for is the shipping crate which the airline will call and book for me. Sounds to good to be true....
First e-mail from these people:
Thanks for your respond,
my family and I are out on a vacation to spring island Cameroon some
few weeks back, but the climate here is not favorable for our baby
Tina, so our vet office advice we send her back to the states and the
only way to do this is look her a new home, we really regret doing
this but that is all we have to do to save her life, all we want is
her happiness and welfare, our two year old daughter Jenifer would
have love to grow up to see Tina but we just regret all what is
happening to us, Tina is 11 weeks old, and very healthy vet check and
you have nothing to worry about, all papers are under preparations and
all her toys too are here, all shots are up to date, we will really want some one who will love her
so much,so that when we come back to the state in some few months
from now, we could always visit you to check on how Tina is doing.
We want you to know that we are not selling her, she is not for sell, my wife and i are offering to pay for her flight ticket so a flight could be booked for her and have her delivered to you.
So if you can stand the chance of taking her home, you will only need to buy her a new travel crate because the one she came in with is bad it will cost just $110 OR $100 DEPENDING THE QUALITY for a new crate ,this money for crate will be paid directly to the airport provide the travel crate to,as soon as you want to have her, my wife and i would take her to the air port and book her flight.the air port would then contact you on how the travel crate would be payed to them so tina can be flight..
we would like to ask you some few questions if you don't mind.
1) Are you a pet lover?
2) Do you have kids?
3) How soon? Do you need her?
4) Do your family love pets
5) my wife will like to know if you are in the states.
6) And are you taking her for breading purposes?
7) Have you experience in homing pets?
We will like to get all this answers to determine your faith, to
take Tina. And will appreciate if you get back.
Thanks my regards
Second e-mail after asking about shipping:
YES ALL I HAVE TO DO IS TAKE THE PUPPY TO THE AIR PORT PET DELIVERY DEPARTMENT, I WOULD BOOK THE FLIGHT FOR THE PUPPY AND WOULD ASK THE AIR PORT TO CONTACT YOU ON HOW YOU WOULD BE DOING THE PAYMENTS FOR THE TRAVEL CRATE TO THEM, THIS PAYMENTS WOULD BE CONFIRM AND TINA WOULD BE FLIGHT.
SHE WOULD BE DELIVERED AT YOUR DOOR STEERS BY THE PET DELIVERY AGENT FROM THE AIR PORT. THE PUPPY WOULD BE DELIVERED AT YOUR DOOR STEERS, WOULD BE HAVE TO UNDERSTAND THAT ALL WE NEED IS A GOOD HOME FOR OUR BABY, I AM DELIGHTED WITH YOUR MAIL AND THE WAY YOU ANSWER THE QUESTIONS, I HAVE ALSO SEEN YOUR PICTURES YOU ATTACHED THEY ARE ADORABLE.
LET ME KNOW HOW SOON YOU WANT ME TO CALL THE AIR PORT AND ARRANGE FLIGHT RESERVATIONS FOR HER??
PLEASE I WOULD ALSO TAKE HER TO THE AIR PORT AND AS SOON AS I BOOK THE FLIGHT FOR HER, THE AIR PORT WOULD CONTACT YOU ON HOW PAYMENTS WOULD BE PROCESSED.
THANK YOU.
Third e-mail from them, after I sent them pictures of our pets and kids:
hi, i already called the air port and they confirm they are available flights today, if we can flight her this morning, she would get to you by evening, all arrangements would be made by the air lines, air France air lines would be the once to handle her flight, it would take just 7 hours for the flight to arrive US. she would be delivered right at your home by the pet delivery agent from the air port.
i can just call now, and book the flight on phone, also with the flight reservations.
after i book the flight, the air port would now contact you this morning with flight details of the puppy,. they would also get to you on how you would be doing the payments to them for the puppy's travel crate..o.k... so there is a next flight this morning and we could flight her on the flight.
o.k about our family pictures, i would have time and send it to you, but here below are tina's pics.
as soon as you give me your full address which tina you be delivered to, i would call now and take her to the air port and book the flight, then they would contact you on how payments for the travel crate would be made.
Still no name nor photo. I can't understand how it would be a scam if I am paying the airline for the crate. And where the heck isspring island Cameroon ? I gave them me phone number 2 times and haven't got a call from them. I need info. on this fast.
