I emailed someone in the Houston Chronicle about an English Bulldog puppy that is for sale. He wrote back and said that he is just the breeder but that he would have the owner contact me.

I just got this:

It also had 3 pix attached but they look like one you would get off of the net somewhere.

Needs more "babies"

 

There is some forsale right now in the green sheet that have papers. Check it out

 

my wife and i bought a silky terrier off the internet for our 2y/o silky we have...so that must be legit!




not

 

ARE YOU SERIOUS? AFRICA...... ill let you do the thinking.

 

Haha do you even have to think about this?

 

With everything in life, if you remember that not everyone is out there to do you good....you'll be fine. This is a full blown scam.

 

The damn Nigeria scam. Anything with the word nigeria is BS. Some little bitch bought a bunch of commercial construction equipment with my moms bank account and then shipped it to nigeria.

 

Its a scam. There was an article on the Bulldog scam the other day in the chronicle. Read just like that. Dog never shows. AKC of course recommends buying registered dogs face to face

 

And I was hoping that not only could I buy their puppies for that price but that maybe I could even be lucky enough to hold a check for them for a small fee and maybe even go over there and buy one of their kids!

Oh well, let the local dog market begin.

 

I would never buy sight unseen! It was from the Chronicle and showed puppies for sale in Houston. THen I got an email from a guy in Miami forwarding me to a chick in Africa!

If only I could immediately trace them down and sue for lying...

 

They do the same thing with birds. Sad part is that some people have actually sent money to these people. I saw a bunch of places claiming to be religious organizations needing to get rid of their animals. Who would trust shipping a dog or a parrot?? LOL
