Has anyone ever contacted you to purchase entire litter of puppies or all unsold puppies? They want to fedex the full price of the puppies over night, & have a transport company come to pick them up-??? This is a litter of puppies not even born yet! They want to pick up the puppies ASAP. How weird is that?
Sounds like a scam / puppy mill / or worst to me.
They refused to provide any info other than sending full payment. Replied I require for them to speak to me directly & fill out my puppy application, haven't heard from them again. I also told them the entire litter was sold too though.
Anyone else get a email / call like this? Kind of scary, what would someone want with a litter of newborn puppies sight unseen like that?

SCAM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
EVERY TIME THEY SAY THEY WILL SEND COMPANY TO PICK PUPS AND OR DELIVER THE CHECK IT IS SCAM!!!!!!!!
I get e mails like that all the time. If you are in doubt tell them to WIRE ( not fedex or anything elase but WIRE) to you account the exact amount. You will never hear from them again.

yep,defo a scam! what they do is send the check to you for the pups PLUS the "AGENTS" fee.they then tell you to,take what you you need for your pups and give the remainder to the AGENT for his "fee" plus "shipping costs"! he takes the pups and the cheque never clears,so your minus the pups AND the remainder you gave to the "agent".
Some say its a method of laundering money and some say they are supplying the animal testing centres with the pups.either way id stay well clear!

Very sad, yes I've placed the email under spam now. It would suck to be out of the money, but the worry for the puppies would have been even worst. Selling them to labs would make sense, & even more disturbing.
Thanks!
Thanks!

It is a scam! I have also posted here details about how somebody tryed to scam me. www.pedigreedatabase.com/german_shepherd_dog/forum/65906.html
It looks the same. Somebody said that he was interested to buy a pupp that I was advertising here. He imediately wanted my detailed information so that he can send me the money by post. He wasn't interested in annything related to the pupp. I was talking about export pedigree, passport, etc. and he kept saying that I shouldn't worry because he will send a personal shipper to take the pupp from me. I have received by post a cashiers cheque on my name for...3000 GBP!!!!!!
I have started a research and found this website http://www.scamvictimsunited.com/counterfeit_cashier's_check.htm
and understood imediately what was the purpose of that cashiers cheque.
Please Beware!!!!!

Wow, very sad. The person that contacted me was named Marggie & said, they live in CT.
After I asked for more details. But don't believe any of it.
Years ago theire was a scam going around about people in Africa posting pictures of puppies for sale for frr, but had to send the shipping $ ASAP + vet info etc.. They wanted wire transfers from your bank. Think it was on 20/20.
Thanks everyone.
