many have gotten this e-mail .DONT DO IT!!!!!!!!!!!!

thanks i emailed him back earlier and told him he was a rat and a con man .Thanks

Has anyone gotten this one yet?

I got an email from someone claiming they just had to move to Africa and their female dog (it was English Bulldog not GSD) just had a litter of 10.  They wanted to ship the pups to me so that I could sell them.  I would just have to pay shipping cost but I got to keep the profits from the pups.

They wanted me to send $8000 for shipping but if it ended up being less than that, then they would refund me the difference plus a little for my trouble.  ROFLMFAO!

Sorry boys....it ain't my first time at the rodeo.

I recently received a call from the operator who assists those with hearing disabilities who reads the message to me then types my reply back to the deaf person. This part of the deal was real. The scam was the person wanted to buy my puppy for more than the asking price, send me an overdraft check and the I pay the shipper located in Dubai. This person said he was located in New York. I told him he was within driving distance so why not just come by and pick up the pup himself. Mind you, he asked no questions what so ever about the litter, me, etc. Not my first rodeo either so I apologized to the operator for this con man wasting her time and abusing this important service.  She said many people do try and use their service as it cannot be traced as emails can.  She also said their service is not available to international calls and many will use an internet phone number to get around this.  

I too have had the bulldog scam also

I got one where they claim that they have a Litter of Excelent breed GS pups that the owner died and they need to sell them so they could pay for the buriel ,if they don't sell they goevernment will kill them, but they only could sell them to one person.

But I knew from reading the last 2 lines that it was a Scam.

Just be real careful don't fall for these Scamers, now they use animals ( DOGS AND EVEN CATS) to scam people out of their Money.

The reason I say cats my neighbor got an e-mail like that but with cats.

Amazing what people will use to scam people out of money these days

I tell them, "Yes, by all means, send me those bogus money orders, so that I can turn them over, along with your emails and contact information, to the proper authorities for prosecution.....

I never hear from them again....

When it all happened to me, my bank got the FBI involved.  They said I would never know if the guy was caught or not.  Glad I didn't fall for any of it. lol.
