After a boring run of baits lately i got this in my inbox. I've always wanted a hairy puppy so i'm going to go ahead and buy it. IP addy shows Nigeria/Lagos location. The address he gives me is for his 'law firm' in Brooklyn, NY, complete with a US phone number.

I bet if you say you're in the UK, he'll find he's suddenly willing to ship there too, perhaps for an extra fee.

Gotta love hairy puppies! Very Happy

Here goes my paranoia: You are aware that Google will find these email addies, right?

I'd like a shaved puppy please, can that be arranged? Also they shouldn't worry abut freight - imaginary puppies travel quite well in a Jiffy bag.

That's a good thing - if one potential victim uses Google and realizes that its a scam, that more than outweighs any lost baits. Its even worse for a scammer to lose money than his dignity.

I think it's unlikely he'd google his fake name or email addy, but i don't have a lengthy/good bait going here, i have a feeling it's just a short bait job at best... therefore it doesn't matter too much. A very imaginative storyline he is using though, one of my favourites so far Wink

I wants me a hairy puppy too.

hannahlove7, Just tell the Lad, the Puppy is not for you, it is for your relative/associate that lives in the states..
And you think a Jiffy bag will be just fine, but could he send all of the shaved hair in a seperate bag please?...

I just Googled both of the addys and came up with nothing.

Google will take a day or two to index a new page, but it will be indexed eventually.

Didn't get a response from this lad yet, think he is a lazy one. I always get the lazy ones.
