hi, i've just recently bred a litter of puppies and advertised them on the internet and other places before they were born, i recieved alot of interest and had sold all of them no problems until i was contacted by one man who had arranged to take a dog and a bitch puppy he said he was from ireland and that he wanted a puppy each for his daughter!!!! well the alarm bells rang so i questioned him further and tried to put him off as i didn't trust him! i wondered if he was a puppy farmer at first, then after many long chats i decided he was genuine so arranged for him to collect the puppys, he then e-mailed me saying he would send a chq for £8000 to me and then i would take my money out and then send the rest on to his courier who would be collecting the puppies??? weird huh!!! i of course declined the offer as it sounded far too dodgy, but since then i have recieved a few e-mails asking the same thing??? has anyone else had this or is it just me????

its a scam that comes in many guises - often supposedly by african princes etc abroad :rolleyes:
Just ignore

The same type of thing happened to my daughter just before christmas. They were selling a car engine on the net, they recieved a reply said to be from a lady called Jane that wanted the engine shipped to Guiana the engine was £400 she wanted a chap that she said owned her a large amount of month to send the money and the price of the engine to my daughter the sum was £3,600 my daughter was to take her £400 for the engine out of the chaps cheque and forward the ballance to this Jane. The cheque arrived issued by a London bank for the £3,600 it was a proper printed cheque not handwritten, my daught put the cheque in the bank and waited for it to clea, they sent the forwarding address for the money and pressed her to send the £3,200 on straight away as she had, had the cheque and the engine would be picked up by their shipper on christmas eve, they emailed 3-4 times a day trying to get her to send the money by Western Union, the bank gave the go ahead for the money to be withdrawn after 3 days my daughter took her part of the money out of the bank and spent it on extra christmas presents for her 2 girls, when she went back to the bank on the friday after the wages had gone in there was no money as the cheque had been stopped and my daughter ended up overdrawn at the bank on christmas eve, and the bank had taken the £400 she had withdrawn earlier in the week out of her husbands wages which still left them oweing the bank £120, which they took out of his wages the next week when they went in, this left then broke over christmas.The bank said that it takes 10 days for a cheque to clear but if they have not heard anything from the clearing bank after 3 days the will release funds as a act of good faith. These people are evil, my daughter is 23 and you might say nieve, she just thought she was doing some one a good turn
