Another way to scam? Posted by Sherri on 6/17/2009, 11:47 am ftowrycoker@yahoo.com Hello, Kindly, note that i have two Boston terrier pups which i'm willing to get a new home for. I have a male and a female. The female is named Terra while the male is named Cached. They're both 10 weeks old. My call to do missionary work in Africa has necessitated that I get them a new home. I and my wife and three kids together with the pups are here in Africa for our missionary call. So, after a while, i noticed that the weather here in Africa is very bad for the pups health and I'm thinking to get them a new home back in the states. Also, please be informed that I'm not selling these pups to you but I'm giving them away for free to a good home where they'll be at rest and cared for. I don't know if you'll prefer to take both pups or, you prefer to take either the male or female. Please let me know if you can create a good home for the pups. All papers regarding their health status will accompany the puppies when shipped to you, Due to our long staying over here in Africa, and the bad weather my Wife and I have concluded to get good home and care for our babies. They are VET checked. We are going to ship to you via a Diplomatic Courier Service Company with Express Delivery on next day delivery, And also i don't know the amount of the shipping right now. If you are interested in having my little babies, i want you to get back to me with your Full Name, Home Address, direct contact phone number and name of the Nearest Airport to you where you'll be having the puppies picked up on their arrival. i want you to promise me that you would take very good care of the puppies. Thanks and God bless you  Post a Response

Re: Another way to scam? Posted by Jill on 6/17/2009, 11:55 am, in reply to "Another way to scam?" It kind of sounds like it because the English isn't quite right. If the owner is American, I can't imagine the sentence structure would sound foreign. Sorry, just my take on it from an ESL teacher view point. I hope I am wrong.  Post a Response

You can generally tell a scam and it is sad that they pull "missionary work" into it because I totally support true missionaries and their work. I wouldn't touch something like this email with a ten foot pole.  Post a Response
