The scammers got to my wife!!

[thedaddymike]

Funny......so my wife was looking through the Dallas Morning News and found some English Bulldogs for $400.00. It had phone numbers, but all were either disconnected, church answering machine, and a children's clothing store. I told her it was a scam to begin with, but since she knows everything, she wanted to e-mail them. So heres hows the convo is going so far:

Heather- Do you still have him/her? to martellcasey@gmail.com

HIM- Thanks for your interest on my lovely english bulldog is still available to good home,I am highly excited that my baby is joining a new good family member i really appreciate you interest. her name is Lexie,She is AKC registered and her shots are given up to .date,she wieghs 15lbs and would be approx. 55lbs ful grown.She love playing with kids and other animal.All her papers will accompany her with one year health guarantee.Well i would have loved to meet with you , I am currently in Africa on a work transfer with the veterinarian Exhibition commission Nigeria ,West Africa and i took the puppy along with me because there is nobody to take care of her. The puppy is with a Current vaccinations, vet exam,health certificate from a licensed vet and a written guarantee of health( 1yr). resently checked by a licensed Vet Doctor for heart, knees, skin, correct bite,All these you will see in her pictures which are current ok. , We are not initially geting rid of her but due to the harsh weather and my mission over here so we need to get a good loving and caring home for this puppy,And i hope you are going to take very good care of our baby.we are going to ship her to you via Express pets delivery on next day delivery after shipment through a shipping agent, am only asking for her shipping fee $350,to your nearest airport,so if you are interested in having her,i want you to get back to me with your fullname, address, phone # including the nearest airport to you. Please if you know that you are not going to take very good care of my baby do not reply me because i am only giving her out becuase we dont have time to take care of her again due to the mission work before me. call me 0112348033987362 or +2348033987362 for more information.

ME- I feel horrible for the pup. Your price is way too low for such a fine
breed. I tell you what I am willing to do. I will pay the 350 shipping
fee, and give you an extra $2000.00, since that is the going rate for
these breeds here. I can send a certified check via my credit union
with a verification number for your bank to call so you know its not a
bogus check. On top of that,if you need the money right away for your
mission work, I can overnight my Visa card along with my PIN number
and you can withdrawal the money that way, and I trust that you would
void the cashiers check when it arrives. By the way, whats the name of
your mission group? My employer is always willing and able to make
large donations for such noble causes.

Thanks!

I cant wait to see how he responds!

There are a bunch of ads in the paper, so be careful!

[kelley_french]

Love the answer to that ad. Way to go!

[ndsimm]

you did that almost as good as he did!

[nikondude24]

You have to post his reply!! This is too funny.

[SCone]

Sounds like my reply to phone soliciting, "Yes, I'd love to take/listen/discuss your promotion/survey/sales pitch, my time is billed at $215 an hour with a one hour minimum, all I need to get started is your Visa card and PIN number before we continue."

It never seems to go much further... was it something I said?

[Breezy]

Oh these are good :D
Stephen you are cracking me up :D

[toverman]

You should have also told him that he won the Zimbabwe lottery, and you just need HIS bank account information so you can deposit the money!

[studiocygnet]

I don't know, I think you need some misspellings and errors in grammar in your reply, to make it more realistic.

[thedaddymike]

Well, needless to say, I never got a response back...

[nikondude24]

ahhh thats too bad.

[Howard Barlow]

Actually, they just verified a live address.

Howard's right. People who buy have their info sold for top dollar. People who respond but don't buy, go for middle dollar. People who don't respond are worth zip. You have your fun but at the cost of getting targeted some more, which is your call. Some readers may not know how this works.
