Hello Seller,

That was an email I got in regards to my pups.  I emailed back stating that if they wish to come view the pups, to please contact me by phone to set up a time, that the pictures are on my website.  I didnt get into price of pups.

This seems odd to me.  I got two of them from the same person, same text, everything. 

The email address gave what seemed to be a valid one, nothing crude or anything like that.  But the name was Mystery Inc. 

Any ideas?  I have a weird feeling about this.

Very odd, I don't like it and wouldn't touch with a barge pole.

Condition of 'it' indeed, pups are not an 'it' :-(

I wouldn't have anything to do with it. The delete button seems the way forward to me.

Yeah, if I get a reply back, I will just delete it.  Its just very very weird, to get a message like that coming through in regards to my pups.  Hummm........

Def a scam! I received loads of these types of mails when selling my car. I would block the sender and make no further contact. There english is poor, they talk about money and bank acct details from the get-go and refer to your pups as 'it.' AVOID!!! There are some seriously dodgey people out there :-(

Unfortunately very, very common over here, and has been for some years.  You can find examples of their emails on a lot of sites, warning folk about the scammers.

There are a lot of scams being run from the Cameroon at the moment, they will "steal" photos of pups from breeders websites and will also steal logos of companies such as insurance companies, pet transport companies etc...
