Advice needed RE possible puppy scam!

danlojo

I know someone who got her Pug from here :

http://www.faleceapugs.com/

The Pug is a beauty and the lady who she bought it off was full of knowledge and love for her pups.

Google Sussan Moroson she is selling soooooo many different types of puppies! Siberian huskies, English bulldogs, French bulldogs, chihuahuas, Maltese .... And she lives in California and Texas and Austria. :rotfl:

I noticed that!

Thanks for your advice guys & girls - they found one and went to pick him up yesterday. A lovely 3 year old pedigree Pug

I reported the email to a few things, will research Ireland's Trading Standards - as said, I just want to help stop this person from scamming someone

i came across the same person when i was searching for a british bulldog. i emailed him asking for more details and within 5 minutes of sending it i got a reply (sent on 12/11/2012 at 7.55pm). and surprise surprise i got exactly the same message as Jaibaby. the puppies i were after were £180. i knew this was some sort of scam with the price but couldnt help myself but email to find out. they asked me to pay the money by money gram (wire transfer) as they said this way they will get the money straight away, and can then get on with changing the paper work over to my name and the delivery of the pup to me that same morning. they also said they will send me the paper work in my name via email and send me a tracking number so i can keep track of where the pup is. well i thought to myself i have never used that method to send money so dont know if it is trust worhty or not and i would want the paper in my hand to see if it is genuine and you can not track animals so i knew straight away it was dodgy.
i just hope people read these before sending money. i copied his name from the emails and googled it that is how i came across this.
thanks for posting in the first place jaibaby

Its a scam

A good pedigree breeder will almost always have a waiting list (or at least that was the case pre-recession - hopefully they will have slowed down breeding programmes if they know they'll have fewer buyers).

Sorry, can't help on where to report it, but I'd say about 50% of free-ad sites are scams

Welcome and thank you for posting! Good to know information sharing is effective: hope you stick around MSE it is a great place.

Just for info, someone else who was looking for a chi got the same scam email but that was supposedly people in Germany and they just wanted good homes for their "babies" before they were sent to another posting at an embassy in Africa.

Its so scarey that people could be taken in by these scams.

PLEASE report them to any site or paper you see them in.
