Micky and Sandra are Potty Trained pure breed KC registered puppies with all shots,vaccines and vet records updated. Micky and Sandra are so lovely and friendly and ready to go to any caring and lovely home who will spoil them with lots of love and care and that my reason for placing them up for Sale. I'm looking for a reasonable,knowledgeable and cautious person who can offer the puppies with lots of love kisses and hugs .Micky and Sandra has great personality and good temperaments with kids and other home pets and they will be a great companion to your family. The puppy would be coming along with their vet records,and all their papers attached to their package with lots of play toys and other accessories .You have nothing to worry about their feeding, because i will also enclose their hand book and feeding menu to their package ok. Promise me that you would show them lots of love and care. my reason for search them a home online is because i would never like him/her to end up in a shelter or a rescue center.
Well,before we proceed,i will also let you know more about me. My names are Brian Smith, I'm 28 years old still single and I'm a photographer by profession. my main reason for placing out this puppies for Sale is because i got a contract work in weston FL which will last for four month ,So i Move there with the pups unfortunately i have a very busy work schedule and i got know time to take care of the puppies so that is the reason why i am looking for a caring and loving home for the puppies ok. so please if you can come down for the pick up then i will be very happy to let you have the pups but if otherwise then i can still used an alternative by using A Pet Delivery Service that will get the pups to you at your door step and all you will pay is just 300 including delivery fee and nothing more for i really need a re/home for this pup for i got no time to provide the pup with the best forever home that the pup need at the moment o.k. So if you need me to deliver the pup then i will be very happy to do that when ever you are ready to get the pup home so please if you are interested just let me know your location and the sex you are interested in so that i can get back to you with his/her pictures ok or will you prefer to take both the male and the female?Just get back to me let me know.

[email protected] Puppy and Parrot scam

Edit to add 14- Jan - 11
[email protected] is associated with this gang and uses the same telephone number.

Hello Mike,

I have received an email from [email protected] about selling her puppy. They called me exact number 707-812-6667 of a U-shipper shipping company http://ushippers.webs.com/aboutus.htm. This website might be real. The shipping company asked me to transfer the money through Weston Union to Cameroon but the receiver is individual not company. They did send me the departure and arrival time. But all of our conversation through email is forwarded by Emma. Did they do that to you, too?

Thank you for posting the information. This is a scam and the website is just part of the scam and will be reported and taken offline.
Some additional information on the telephone numbers listed on the contact page.

Tel:+447023037565 This is a UK redirect number that can forward caqlls to any location in the world.
Tel:+1707-812-6667 This is a Magic Jack telephone number that work with a computer and the called party can be located anywhere in the world.
Tel:+23776250352 This is a mobile telephone in Cameroon, Africa and the two numbers above probably forward the calls to the mobile telephone number.

Welcome Heleon,

As Mike said, the website is a definite fake. It is a free website, and if you look, you can see that most of the content was copied from this legitimate pet shipper website.

The scammer is located in Cameroon. He (whether he is playing a male or female, he is most likely male) has no pets to sell. Anyone he sends you to is fake, and is part of the scam.

The origianl contact page containing the telephone numbers has been removed but the fake webstie can be seen here: http://ushippers.webs.com/

They are now using the name Rico Smith and have a website SmithHomePuppies.net but it's the same people out of Cameroon. My husband almost got taken by them just 1 hour ago, he was doing it as a surprise to me. I found out and then due to Cameroon being next door to the biggest scam country in the world I did a little research which lead me here. That and the pics of the puppies they use I found on Google images. The breeding website looks real it's a good job. But a pure breed pup going for $160!?! If it sounds like a Great deal on the internet, it's a scam. He first found them on Craig's List but I can't find the ad, he sent me the email where they talked and to me it reads just like any scammers email reply. It has a lot about God in it and talking about trust and stuff like that. But I can see how someone could be easily taken by them. They're website looks real and it as all the right "buzz" words like AKC but there's the rub they aren't in America so why would they're dogs be reg through it? I don't know maybe little things like how they talk and stuff like that stands out to me cause I've been on the net for so long. I just hate to think of someone getting taken.

Thank you very much for the welcome, and for just being here. Here is the email (I hope I do it right) They also are advertising Pomeranian puppies on the website. Once my husband told me about it I knew it was a scam right off but finding the post here is what made my husband believe me. He was suckered cause of the great price. But come on!! A English Bulldog with papers for $160 (shipping fee only)!?! Please!!! I know any price under $1,300 is a scam!
