The person this email belongs to is scamming to sell puppies. After google searching her initial email, it was reported on petscams.com. Below I have the initial email she sent me.

Thanks for your interest in regards to our Golden Retriever puppies we have for adoption. We have a male (Royal) and female (Rose) available and are purebred Goldens. They're vet checked and will come with all papers needed. The puppies are very playful and are of absolute temperament, as they also love playing with kids and other household  animals. They are 10 weeks old. We're giving the pups out for an adoption with no adoption fee, because we can't afford to take care of them during this Covid-19 Pandemic and we can't keep them any longer. We will be very willing to give you these pups if you promise us, you will never sell them. Do answer the questions below, so we will have an idea of you and your environment.

- Have you owned a pet before?

- Do you have a vet doctor?

- which city/state are you located in?

- Are you a breeder?

- will you take both or just one? if one what sex?

- Do you have pets loving children at home?

- Is your environment pet friendly?

- Will you take good care of the babies like your own child?

All I need is just a very caring and loving home for our babies where they will be well loved and spoiled to rotten.

Thanks and will be waiting to read from you again.

I was going to adopt a puppy but I kept getting misled into thinking everything was fine until I got a fake email from a delivery service saying that my puppy couldn’t be shipped because I had to pay more money so I messaged them back and told them I wanted my money back and the communication stopped. They also tried to open another bank account in my name I had to call and suspend it. They basically ruined my life and I want them punished for what they put me through

I contacted this seller through email after an ad was posted to a local site as 2 puppies were up for adoption. I got and email from a lady and we talked back and fourth, I gave her a deposit for the puppy and she sent me fake documention. Talk to the guy who said they claim to be "peter" and said I would not be going though with it anymore as infromation did not seem right, he said I would get my deposit back but never did. They also try to use religion as a mean of getting you to trust them and to keep them updated by sending pictures when the puppy is delivered.

Thanks for the interest in regards to the Goldendoodles I have for

adoption. There is 1 female Bella(purpule) and 1 male jack(orange and

are brothers and sisters . They are 12 weeks old, vet checked and will

come with all papers needed. The Goldendoodles are very playful and

are all of absolute temperament as they also love playing with kids

and other household animals. Attached to this mail are videos and pics

of the Goldendoodles . We are giving the Golden doodles out for

adoption because they belonged to my late son who was a breeder but he

just past away after a long term cancer thus we can't keep all of them

as our home pets but we'll keep their parents so we had to relocate to

his home to give these Goldendoodlesd away and some property. I will

be very willing to give you these Golden doodles if you can promise me

of never to sell them because they have been like kids to him, also do

get back to me with the answers of our question below so i can have an

idea of where our Golden doodles will be going to. -Have you own an

Goldendoodles before? - Do you have a vet doctor? -where precisely are

you locate - Are you a breeder? - Which of the Golden doodles are you

looking at, what sex? - Give me a Brief Description about your

Environment? All i need is just a very caring and loving home for our

doodles where they will be well loved and spoiled. Thanks and will be

Happy to read from you again.

My wife and i have decided to give out this puppy to any one who is ready to take good

care of her and we are happy you are willing to do that for her. All we

need from you is your love for the baby. I really wanted to meet with you

so you can pick up yourself but since you are not in our area and it's a

distances of about 16 hrs ride on car i don't know if you will make up the

ride to come pick up today or tomorrow. We just relocate some few weeks ago

to *4025 Lake Point Dr,

Helena, MT 59602**.* Better still if you wouldn't make it up, she can be

registered to a near by pets transportation company and will be home

delivered to you ok. All you will have to do is paying for the

transportation fee so she be home delivered to you okay. We am giving the

puppy for free and

all we want in return is just you to take care of her and send us monthly

pictures so we can see her progress.

HOW CAN YOU ASSURE ME THAT YOU WILL TAKE GOOD CARE OF THE BABY?

I was looking for dogs for my 2 girls and I came across this ad about on Craigslist, I call and left and message and the person text me and told me to send her my email address so she can send me pictures of the dogs, she goes on to say that she’s in the service in Maryland training and that she’s going to be transfer to Maine on March 18, 2019 and she has to get get rid of the dogs right away so she drop the price of the dogs 200 each from 220. She said that she has the dogs with her in Maryland and she’s not able to meet with potential buyers so she will have the puppies ship to me and she shipping fee is free She said that she has an account with eBay and it’s secure and I will receive an email from eBay with the details. So after I got the email I proceeded with the purchasing of the gifts cards and send them two gifts for 200 each. And was told that I would receive them today. After many times of trying to get in touch with her about what time the puppies will be arriving and no response I figured something got to be wrong, so I called eBay and the customer service rep told me it’s a scan. I tried calling Alva again and she emailed me back telling me to send 200 more for the shipping. I told her that I am not paying any shipment and that I need my money back and I haven’t heard back.

I was looking for a Chow Chow puppy and this was in the classified and they tried to make me send them money and said that they would fly my puppy to me and they live in Oklahoma so I just said I would drive and they told me they don’t do it that way it’s too hard on the puppy they wanted a gift card from Amazon or cash wired to their bank account or a Walmart gift card. There were two people that tried to do this to me. I cannot upload the other one because your site doesn’t have enough room

I have been looking into adopting a pug recently and a friend of mine told me to look on Craigslist because that’s where she got hers. I got ahold of this guy living in Texas saying he had 2 baby pugs that needed a new home because his son died in a car accident, the email he sent me seemed slightly edited but i decided to give him the benefit of the doubt we talked and he said that he would be more then happy send one of the puppies ASAP and then immediately asked for my information I asked him for more info about how the puppie would get to me since he is in Texas and I am in Washington, he said that he was using a company by the name of Chrono Logistic Carriers. I looked them up online and one of the first things that came up was that this website was known for scamming people. The man was asking for $450 and when I looked his phone number up I also saw another add for 2 French bulldogs needing a home ASAP.

I was looking for a Yorkie near my place and he said he just moved so far away and willing to ship the dog but I have to pay everything to the shipping company and the shipping company will give how much the dog costs. He was asking for 400 bucks only for a Yorkie which is very cheap and only 600 for shipping and the dog which is too cheap since dog flights are mostly more expensive. So that got me to think it was a scam.

The individual stole photos from a reputable breeder and is trying to sell puppies that are not theirs or for sale. There is only a phone number given and no email address or physical address. They will take full payment and ship the puppy to you. Most reputable breeders will not ship puppies.
