Как я покупала-покупала, но так и не купила собаку

В местной газете увидела об’явление о том, что люди добрые отдают щенков Йоркширского терьера бесплатно. По описанию, такие собачки могли бы быть проданы минимум тысячи за полторы каждая. Чемпионская кровь, выставочные экземпляры со всеми причитающимися причиндалами. В общем, слишком все хорошо, что бы быть правдой. Ну, я по своей простоте душевной уши развесила и пошла изучать новую территорию. Закинула “товарищам” письмецо и вот как они меня пытались развести на бабки.

Hello,

I saw your ad about the Yorkie Puppies. I’d like to adopt one.
Could you please tell why do you give puppies for free? (Sorry for this kind of question)
and can I come tomorrow (21 of November ) and chose my new friend?

Arina.

Thanks for your interest in my lovely Puppies. They are still available
to any family prepared to provide them with enough care and love, a home
where they will be well spoilt with all their needs. They are;

  • Male and Female, 12 weeks old,
  • champion bloodline,
  • registered AKC, and vet check,
    They are also up to date on all their shots, Well-tamed , potty
    trained , good associates of kids and other house hold pets. They are
    very Energetic and eager to learn. They are intelligent, independent
    and courageous. Quick to determine where they fit in a household’s “pack.” Good
    companionship and friendly towards new people.
    They will be coming with playing toys, crates, food samples, and some cloths.
    Please, I will like to know a few things about you and your environment;

-Are you familiar with Yorkie Puppies?
-Do you have kids? Will they be loving to them?
-Do you have a vet doctor?
-Where exactly are you located?
-How soon do you need the babies?

You will be having them home as soon as we can sort everything out.
All I need is a capable and competent person to take care of them. This is so because my present job schedule does not permit me to take care of them the way they ought to. I am not selling them since I value them as my own children. Children should not be sold. Hence, what I am asking for is just your assurance to give them the best. Get back to me with answers to my
questions.

Hi Tery,

Thank you very mush for your quick reply.
I never had a Yorkie, but I was the owner of a Maltese for 14 years and a Persian cat for 12 years.
I have a son lives away from home. My husband works abroad. I do not work, so I live in Mountain View alone and have plenty of time to care for my dog. Some of my friends have pets. They will be able to recommend me a very good vet.
I’d like to have a dog as a birthday present. My birthday is on Tuesday, November 23rd, and it will be the best birthday in my life because I wanted to get a dog for the past 2 years because my cat passed away.
Tery, I like how your treat your dogs. When I got kittens from my cat, I was very careful about whom to offer ownership, just like you.
The only problem which I can see is that I cannot decide on the sex of my new dog. Male or Female? My Maltese was a male and he always wanted to run after girls. Anyway, I already have a name for them: Zhorik for boy and Frosya for girl.

Tery, if you decide to make me happy for the next 15-20 years, I will be available to pick up my treasure today at any time.

Arina.

Thanks for your mail and your fine assurances. When I read through
your mail, I felt like we have found a home already for these puppies. Hope you love the pics attached. Well,we just relocated From 408 East Huron Street to 405 Nebraska Street English Cameroon where we work with the World Health Organization (WHO). We work out here so much that there is little or no time to care for the puppies. they are so lonely that we thought it
wise to get them a new home. So we are glad you are willing to give them
just that home. Our main concern is that you give them attention and
care for their needs. You will be getting the babies by tomorrow if we
can sort out everything now. So if you can get back to me with the
following information it will be great.

Full names…
Home address…
Phone number…
Nearest Airport…

As soon as we have these, I will immediately work on the adoption process
and then go make arrangements for their shipping with the next available
flight to your designated location. they have all their papers so it is not a
process. I assure you that you will have the babies asap. they will be coming
in a puppy travel crate with your full contact address on it. Upon arrival,
you will be called by the delivery agent to make sure you are home so
that he can hand over the babies to you in person. they will be
delivered to you at your home. So get back to us soon with all the
data required for the shipping so that we can start making all
necessary arrangements.

All you are paying is $150 and the money will be used as follows:
$50 = pets traveling crate
$100 = To activate the flight ticket of the puppy
Giving a total of $150.*
If you want her to be delivered to your home,
you will have to pay $50. That makes a sum total of $200 to have her
at your home.

I want to assure you everything will be fine and you
will be having them home with no problems whatsoever. Hope to read from you soonest with the above details. please can you tell the name of the puppy you are interested in. You can call us anytime on 011 237 9440 6967.

Thanks

Thanks for the information. I just talked to my wife and we are really happy you will be taking Joy home. Please, promise us that as soon as you have her home you will send us pictures and updates on her as she grows. We will arrange all the necessary papers now while we await the payments.
When we get her registered at the airport, we will get back to you with details on the flight and the arrival time. You will be called by the delivery man when she arrive your nearest airport. You will have to make the payments to us since we will have to pay for the registration at the airport. Since you are taking just one and are ready to pick up at the airport, you will be paying just $150 but we can also give you the both puppies at $250 if it is ok to you. Just let us know. Below is my information for the payments;
Full Names…Tery Kitle
Address…405 Nebraska Street
City…Littoral
State…Douala
Country…Cameroon
Zip Code…00237

Money Transfer Test Question…When?
Answer…Now.

There is a western union store just few meters from our home and we are more use to it. So if you can make the payments via western union, that will be great so we can get the money in time and pay for the registration so we can get them a suitable flight. Get back to us soonest.

***Hi Tery,

I will definitely send you picture as soon as I bring Joy home and keep you informed as she grows.
Tery, I think it is a very big responsibility to keep a dog and I am ready for one, but not for two dogs.
I never used Western Union for transfer money, is there another way to pay?

Arina

***Tery Kitle
to me

show details 21 Nov (6 days ago)

Yes there is definitely another way of making the transfer but western union will be the fastest and most reliable for the moment because we will be using the money for the registration of your puppy and we prefer western union because it is closest to us. So just go to any western union store close to your location and tell them you want to make a transfer to a friend, then use the information we provided in our last mail to make the transfer and once you are done, get back to us with the MTCN and senders information so that we can proceed with the registration.

thanks and we wait to read from you

Another way of making the payment is by pay pal. But ours doesn’t work over here.

I talked with my wife and seeing to it that you are serious, we want to trust you. So we have decided to get the puppy registered and you will be making the payments to the delivery agency. They will contact you when we are done with the registration and will provide you a tracking number. We will get back to you.

Я до сих пор жду ответа, но похоже - не дождусь :slight_smile: :blush:

Вывод: не только в интернете, в местных газетах тоже устраивают лохотроны

любое обьявление, когда собаку/кошку/птичку предлагают вам послать за [shipping fee] - лохотрон.
Еще один совет: никогда не пишите “я живу одна”. Тем более, что потом дали этому проходимцу свой адрес.

Lucy, дык в том-то и дело, что я же не одна живу. У нас тут народу … боюсь даже сказать сколько. Я тут как царевна среди 33-х богатырей. :slight_smile:

После камерунского номера телефона и слова WesternUnion переписку продолжать не было никакого смысла. Обычный африканский scam\fraud.

Согласна на все 100%. Продолжала переписку чисто из женского любопытства (типа … а что там дальше спрятано?). :blush:

Продам мост. Денежку высылать в большой коробке. Только наличность. Встретиться не предлагать.

Летом решили купить симпатягу йорка для детей (давно обещали). Попадалась целая куча таких объявлений: йорки - в добрые руки бесплатно, но даже и желания не было начинать переписку. Купили в Бруклине за $1200 :slight_smile:

а ведь их полно в шелтере и [rescue organizations] за $100-250…

:bayan: честно .

2 года назад я этих же йеориков чуть не купила. :lang:

Очень весело было читать этот классический развод, особенно, когда сам через такое прошел :slight_smile:

Пару лет назад, вот примерно так же покупали Ниссан Мурано, самый прикол был в том, что машина реально была и стояла на дилершипе в соседнем штате, куда я даже съездил и всю её перещупал, схема развода была составлена настолько изящно, что мы чуть не купились, помог друг, психолог, которому я форфардил нашу переписку с продавателями и он их разкусил.
Потом как и положено, включились в уже игру и довели до белого каления этих продавателей, отняв у них массу нервных клеток и времени :slight_smile:

А ещё был случай, когда я покупал себе ноутбук, продавало их(несколько шт. было) одно, не то консульство, не то посольство, тот же вестерн, тот же пэйпал, и так дешего его отдавали, как сейчас помню, это был Делл Д620 в полной комплектации, по смехотворной цене.
Неделю с ними переписывался, мурыжили, мурыжли, я даже оплатил им пэйпалом.
Самый прикол был в том, что нотник я получил, причем в полном соответствии с описанием. А продавал технику сын какого то сотрудника этого посольства, но денег он получать напрямую не мог и их нужно было в африку оплачивать, но имел этот мальчик комиссию от проданого, короче африканский цирк был.

Все эти разводы, в некотором случае, даже полезны, если ты через них сам прошел, получаешь хороший опыт и в дальнейшем, на кидалово вырабатывается нюх :slight_smile:

Всем привет!

Ну то что это кидалово - было ясно с самого первого письма. Я обратила внимание на то, что мои адресаты писали письмо абстрактному человеку.
А ведь я свое письмо подписала, так, что мое имя у них было. :slight_smile:

Господа,
Попробуйте пользоваться Google Maps с street view. Если вы имеете дело с организацией, но на фото показан частный дом, то возможно стоит задуматься.
Лично я пользуюсь Google maps когда вижу что-либов интернете за слишком хорошую цену. Если на фото “левый” небольшой магазинчик, то сразу же отступаю. Review покупателей об таком продавце практически всегда помогает, но… Короче говоря, ещё одна идея для вашего расследования.

а можно подробнее

вроде это на 100 проц безопасно

так это же здорово!
в чем вообще проблема, в чем кидок если товар уже получен и дешево проплачен палкой???

Я когда искала йоркширского терьера , то наткнулась на такое же предложение. Мы переписывались, но я быстро поняла,что меня просто разводят на бабки.
