Catweazle Posted December 5, 2011 Report Share Posted December 5, 2011 String them along and make them waste as much time as possible, it's fun. I had one going for ages with "mistakes" at the Western Union money transfer point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dastardlyandmuttly Posted December 6, 2011 Report Share Posted December 6, 2011 (edited) you want to hand all of the details over to the police and rspca investigators to deal with and catch them. .

Hamster Posted December 6, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 6, 2011 you want to hand all of the details over to the police and rspca investigators to deal with and catch them. . I get this sort of enquiry all the time via Autotrader but when I call them they're not interested saying it would be extremely difficult to do anything as the culprits can just switch e-mail addresses. Typically goes something like: Hi, is the car still available and what's your final price? So you e-mail back all excited and then you receive a pigeon English reply saying things like I'm buying it for my father and work at the North sea off shore so please forthwith supply your full paypal e-mail details for facilitation of money before my agent collect car from premises after funds are made apparent etc, good health to you and wishing you a marvellous sale. The pics are so beautiful it has upset me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hamster Posted December 6, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 6, 2011 They look absolutely lovely, the light coloured one (wheaten) is what we want. You didn't say if our friend from Sandown down the road from you can come and see them? She will bring cash and take the puppy if that's OK? We will then either go and stay with them over the week end or they can come over and visit us with the puppy. Regards, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hamster Posted December 6, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 6, 2011 Hiya, It was nice reading from you once more,I now believe that my baby is going to a home that she will be spoiled with plenty of love and care,I would have love that you come up and collect the baby but due to the nature of my Job,I will prefer we use a courier for the baby to be deliver at your home okay.if all that is okay by you then get back to me with your full delivery details like this FULL NAMES........................... YOUR CITY............................ YOUR POSTCODE....................... YOUR HOME ADDRESS.......... HOME NUMBERS........................ MOBILE NUMBERS................... EMAIL ADDRESS................. When i have these details,I will first fax it down to my Lawyer for him to take it to the Kennel club for the Change of Ownership Document and when that is done,I will then start with the delivery arrangement for the baby to be delver at your home okay. Thanks ///////////////////// Oh really? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_evil Posted December 6, 2011 Report Share Posted December 6, 2011 Just reply with, my friend lives down the road from you and I'd like him to pick it up and pay cash on collection so we know the "baby" is alive and real I do not believe in posting puppies so this would be much better for my conscience Please advise on a time for collection Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
