This is a puppy buying scam.

They texted me wanting  information emailed to an address with information about puppies. It sent up a red flag because my puppy ad pretty much said everything about them.

I received a text asking for info about puppies. Wanting me to send info to an email address -bushek100@gmail. Since the area code was 202- is 2000 miles away from me and my add said "i do not ship" I assumed it was to compromise my email.

Also txting about kittens. Glad I check out people before I send info for these precious babies.

They sent a text and want to know if I take credit cards. The text is in broken engrish and looks to be a scam.

They texted this message:

"Hello, how are you doing,i will like to know if you are available for Fitness training and exercise service"

It's a scam.

I got the exact same grammatically challenged text message. "Hello, how are you doing,i will like to know if you are available for fitness training and exercise service"

So dumb.

I got a text:
Hello, Do you still have puppies for sale ? if so get back to me with all puppies info to...scohol20@outlook.com
Since I do not do business like that, I req'd a phone call. The next text was more demanding. I blocked them . Is anyone that stupid?

1st asked about puppies and then dog...very suspicious

Just hd same experience.  Relieved this from a cell number 2026819472
Hello, Do you still have puppies for sale ? if so get back to me with all puppies info to...scohol20@outlook.com

NB:I will be paying you additional $50 to reserve the male puppy for me.

Seemed very sketchy to send all of this and not even ask my health guarantee or any info an puppy.   I told the puppy is sold.   I am not sure what would be the reason for this?

I'm not sure how he makes money from this or scams people, but I received the exact same text as above.  I told him that the puppies would not be available for another month and asked for information about him. He responded that while he was currently living in NYC, he would be moving to a 3000 square foot home with an acre of yard and a large enclosure within it.  He indicated that he would take good care of the puppy.  Why would someone do this?

wanted to know if i do full exterior house painting  says his name is scott hollan    Have also gotten same smack from a No. from Illinois   same broken english, different name......B.S. Scam

"The company is based on importing and exporting of Agriculture products such as Kola Nut, Gacillia Nut and Cocoa so I need a best of the best layout for it - Scott Hallan"

"Can i have your E-mail Address to proceed from there and you can send your previous websites you did to me - Scott Hollan"

I got a text saying, "Hello, Its me Thomas NIcolas i need know if you can handle website design for a new company." (Errors his, not mine.)

I don't do website design - I'm a copywriter - so I looked him up. Scam.
