Scammers beware!!!!

So as you remember I've wanted a dog for such a long time. I finally found the cutest dogs in the world from an ad on KSL. It looked legit but once "Nancy" wrote back to me... I knew I'd been duped. So I played along. =) Enjoy.

Nancy: Hi There!
They are still available and ready to go for a new home. My puppies are potty trained , home raised k.c registered , vet checked and will come with all papers needed. In placing this puppies out for adoption, I am looking for reasonable,knowledgeable and cautious person who can offer them tenderness,nursery with lots of love kisses and hugs.I am not out to look for money by selling my babies ,all i need is just a caring and loving forever home for my baby where they will be well loved and spoiled to rotten ..... .These adorable,cute and gorgeous puppies are 10 weeks 3days old and will be the perfect match for you.They will be the best playmate you've ever dream's of.With them great personality & good temperaments with kids and other pets,they will be the one to steal your heart.they will be coming along with their vet records,and all their KC registration papers attached to their package with lots of play toys.You have nothing to worry about because i will also enclose their hand book & feeding menu to their package. Promise me that you will shower them with lots of TLC ..And i will never like my babies to end up in a shelter or rescue,feel free to mail me if you are willing to get any of them. I will like to ask you some few questions if you do not mind.

1:Where are you located(Mr/Mrs)?
3:Do you have kids.if yes are they going to take good care of the Puppies?
5:Are you a breeder?
6:Do you have experience in breeding Puppies?
7:How soon do you need her?
8:I will need you phone # in case i want to call you.
9: Give me the name of the puppy you will love to adoption?

Sorry for asking so much questions but i am just trying to look a good and loving home for my babies. I am giving this babies out for adoption, due to that fact that i lost my Husband and son in a car scratch, so i don't have enough time taking good care of this babies, i need a lovely home that will shower them with lots of love and attention. I have also moved into a new and non pet apartment, so am desperate in getting them re-homed....

Thanks And waiting for your reply.....

I'm a little concerned. The skyline in one of the pictures of your puppy was clearly not in Utah.
Thanks for your quick response.

Nancy: Hello
Thanks for getting back to me again regarding my puppy . i trust you so much now that you have assured me a loving home for our puppy .I have choose you people as the new owner of the puppy. To tell you a bit about my self,i am 52 years old .I have been with dogs all my life as my Grand Father was a breeder.i usually go there on holidays and would spend much time with the animals and house pets there..I got Sadie (the puppy's Mother) as a result of my wedding .their mom put them to birth and then pass out.What makes me willing to give them up for adoption is that i don't have much time asking care of them since my husband died in a car scratch in Mid Way Cameroon (West coast.) So i decided to give them out for free adoption. my duty here is tight up that i even regret bringing them with me. So i will very much give them out for adoption as soon as possible to reduce my work load. So the puppy would be shipped to you from Cameroon where i have been appointed to and it shall take just about 6 to 7 hours to get to your location. so please i will need the following address so that i can use them to ship the puppy to you ok.

Me: Oh Nancy,
It is such a relief to finally meet someone dealing online that has values. You are right that the judgement day will come for those who are not honest in their dealings. I was just thinking, my husband and I are planning a vacation in the next three weeks. What if we just came to you and picked up the puppy. That way he won't have to fly by himself on the scary plane? Where are you located? Also, is my newest addition to the family a boy or a girl?
Thanks,
Also Waiting

Wow, your full name is MBAMTE MIRANDA BONGNIWI? I'd got by Nancy too.
I just have a couple quick questions before I send the money. (There is a western union right down the street so it will be super quick)
1. Is my puppy a boy or a girl?
3. I see Cameroon is right next to Nigeria, are you sure it won't be too long of a flight?
4. I don't mind flying out there to pick him/her up. Can we talk over the phone to clarify the details?
5. It might be easier to just give you my credit card number would that work for you?
6. I really liked your test question now I have one for you. How much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a wood chuck could chuck wood?
7. I skipped number two just to see if you were paying attention.
Hug, hug, kiss kiss

Me: Nancy,

I sent the western union on my way to work this morning. Did you receive the money? What time should I go pick up the puppy?

Nancy: Hello Becky.
Thank you for the email back. what is the MTCN number and the full senders names.
Email me the info now.
Thank i will be waiting as soon as you give me the info.

Me: Nancy, I have really enjoyed talking with you. The MTCN number is 356-637-5309. I just sent it to your name. You seem a little pushy today. How are things? I was thinking, maybe we could come out and visit on Jack's 1st birthday? Is that too forward? Let me know. Becky

Nancy: what are the names full senders names ???

Me: Oh, sorry I misunderstood. So my name is Rebecca but I go by Becky.

Nancy: i need the full names you use in sending the money
(15 minutes later)
Nancy: i need the full names you use in sending the money ok.

Me: Simmer down, Nance. I get it. I sent the money under my husband's name Chris Harrison. So what do you think if we brought little Jack and came to visit?


Nancy: it is possible you scanned us the westernunion receipt??

Me: Sorry, I hope you can read it. I took it with my camera phone.
(Courtesy of google images and a little help from photoshop)

Nancy: Ok so i am on my way now to the airport i will be back soon ok

Me: Thanks Nancy. Maybe you'd be interested in some ESL classes. If you send me a payment of $130 via Western Union, I'll hook you up.

The End. So what's the verdict, do you think my puppy will be waiting for me at the airport? ;) She hasn't taken me up on the ESL offer. I'm thinking she WAS just in it for the money and we are not longer pen pals. I guess I better cancel my trip to Cameroon.

Caleb used to sing me this little song that I think would work perfectly here:
Don't mess, don't mess, don't mess with the best cuz the best don't mess.
Don't fool, don't fool, don't fool with the cool cuz the cool don't fool.
