But get this for a reply to a friends Westie add
Thanks for your swift response,I have been on Medications for some weeks now but i am feeling better now and i am ready to continue with the sale of the Pup,I'm very much interested in the (puppy) And the asking price is OK with me.Well I read and understand they are in good health condition.However I'll instruct my colleague to issue you U.K Bankers Draft in your name with an advance which will cover the shipping to our home and having it in mind that business is based on trust,The reason is that i can not issue out a separate cheque to my carrier on a single transaction like this due to my company's policy.

As soon as you receive the cheque,Take it to your bank,Have it Cleared in your Local Bank,Deduct the cost price due for the purchase and the rest will be used for the pickup by my reputable shipping company's staff Doug Clark who also happens to be a Vet doctor he will take care of the pickup at your location,So you should be expecting a Bankers Draft in a couple of days.If this is clear please do write me back with all the details below in order to make the Draft Payable: :-

Info needed are as follows:

(1)Cheque payable to:
(2)Home Address:
(3)State:
(4)Post code:
(5)Country:
(6)Telephone number/mobile phone:

Note :- Am ready to offer you an additional £50 plus your sales price,If you do consider the pup sold to me and turn away every other interested buyer's that the Pup has been Sold.

My Contact details are shown below : As the new owner

Name........Mr and Mrs Danny Western
Contact........91 Irish St

My reply would be as follows

Dear Friend,

Thankyou for your enquiry regarding "the pup". Unfortunately, shortly after receiving your email, I succumbed to a condition referred to as Doyoutakemeforanidiotis - according to my GP it's becoming a common affliction and one where there is no cure. Due to my illness, I have decided to keep "the pup" as walking the dogs is the only respite from its persistent irritation.

You mean the email? It's a scam you're open to when you advertise anything online. There are several variations but these types generally involve shipping fees for products or livestock.

My favourites are the ones we get in the adopt a dog north east inbox. Usually along the lines of "my dearest! I am a very sad refugee, but my family have huge amounts of money and I need your help getting hold of it. Along with a UK visa. my name is Glorious Lovely. Lets get to know one another. I'm already in love with you."

Another is "FROM THE DESK OF THE HEAD OF A BANK IN X AFRICAN COUNTRY! Dear Sir/Madam, we have a client who carked it in a plane crash (they will usually cite a real crash, often a small private aircraft. Pretty sick). They have no relatives. Their estate is worth millions of dollars, and I must send these dollars to you for reasons I am unable to properly articulate. Send me all your details so that I can send the money to you for some obscure, convoluted reason. Then arrange for me to get a visa, so that we can meet in person, to finalise our deal".

I had one going for a short while as I kept emailing him back, insisting that I was incredibly keen to help, but worried that I wouldn't be able to use US dollars in UK shops.
 
It must be a really big property looking at the number of different names that live there!!!!

Various people, all trying to buy pups and willing to add on the extra £50!!!
Danny Western,
Doug Bradley Clerk,
Adam Smith

Don't even think reporting it would help, someone eventually will get suckered in and get ripped off.
