I had one of these scammers try to contact me yesterday! I got a phone call from an operator that said she worked for an internet phone relay service and that she was translating a call for someone that was hearing impaired and sending her messages through her computer. Well I never heard of one of these services but it made sense to me that someone hearing impaired could make phone calls this way. I was driving my car at the time and couldn't hear the lady very well. I asked her if the caller had an email address. She gave me the address and I told her to relay to the man that I would email him when I got home. When I emailed him about my pups being sold, his reply was in TERRIBLE english and he kept referring to the pup as an ITEM. I then googled his emil address and the first hit I got for it was on a scam list in Nigeria. These people are out to get your money and will send you bogus cashiers checks like someone above has stated. Most of these people are from Africa but will tell you they live in London. I will now delete anything that looks fishy. If you keep in correspondance with these people and tick them off, they will send a virus to your computer which is what this guy did when I told him that my pups all had homes. BE REALLY CAREFUL WITH THESE GUYS!!!!
