This was one of my first baits and it took place on Yahoo messenger. I had a lot of fun with this one!

I had the pleasure of speaking with a "Katherina Craig." The following conversation was simply in jest and to see how far a scammer will go with their lies. I play "Jenny Holtz!"

The saga begins with a search for free yorkies on google. I end up on Ad Flakes which brings me to http://kcraig011.member.adflakes.com/ She or He has quite a few ad's and I pick one to respond to. Send off a quick email asking if the puppy was still available and got a classic "The puppies are this big and just adorable and oh they need a home so bad" response right back. We then moved the conversation to IM. The conversation is as follows:

Katherina Craig: hello
Jenny: Hi!
Jenny: How are you tonight!
Jenny:
Katherina Craig: i am doing fine and you?
Jenny: Oh hanging in there! I don't know where you live, but where I am at
it is COLD!
Jenny:
Katherina Craig: okay great
Katherina Craig: i am presently in St.alberta cameroon island which i will be
transporting the puppies from here to your home
Jenny Holtz: Oh I see! What are you doing there?
Katherina Craig: i am presently here due to studies okay
Jenny Holtz: Oh okay!
Katherina Craig: so when are you ready to have this puppies?
Jenny Holtz: Well I thought you wanted to know a little about me first?
Katherina Craig: true and i willreally love to
Jenny Holtz: Wonderful!
Jenny Holtz: What would you like to know!
Jenny Holtz: ?
Katherina Craig: have you any pet care experience
Jenny Holtz: No I do not.
Jenny Holtz: I have never had a pet before
Jenny Holtz: Hello?
Katherina Craig: yes
Katherina Craig: how old are you?
Jenny Holtz: 25
Katherina Craig: married?
Katherina Craig: with kids
Jenny Holtz: No
Jenny Holtz: Single
Katherina Craig: still living with your parents?
Jenny Holtz: No
Jenny Holtz: Apartment
Katherina Craig: What do you do for a leaving?
Jenny Holtz: I work at McDonalds
Jenny Holtz: and at TAco Bell
Katherina Craig: i am sorry for this questions but hope you should understand
why i ask all this right
Jenny Holtz: Well of course!
Katherina Craig: So let me know when you are ready to have this puppies
Katherina Craig: and which sex you want
Jenny Holtz: How many puppies do you have?
Katherina Craig: 2 which they are both male and female called Kelly and Sparky
Jenny Holtz: Oh okay
Jenny Holtz: I would like both
Jenny Holtz: Now I don't have a backyard...all I have is a the front of my house
and that is a road
Jenny Holtz: I would have to tie them to my front door
Jenny Holtz: to let them out
Katherina Craig: i am very happy you prove out your truth
Katherina Craig: and i will be very happy to give the puppies to you
Jenny Holtz: Really!?
Jenny Holtz: That is wonderful!
Jenny Holtz: Now I cannot afford dog food
Jenny Holtz: I can only feed them with leftover mcdonalds and leftover taco bell
Katherina Craig: thats okay
Jenny Holtz: oh good
Katherina Craig: it will be possible for you to spend this christmas with them
but all will depend on you
Jenny Holtz: And during the day I would have to let my neighbors watch them
during the day
Jenny Holtz: but they like to knife fight a lot...
Jenny Holtz: I just want to be honest with you
Jenny Holtz:
Jenny Holtz:
Katherina Craig: i am sorry you make me scared
Katherina Craig: thats high risk
Katherina Craig: So what do you think you will do?
Jenny Holtz: It's either that or I will let them stay with my uncle who is
studying to be a taxidermist
Jenny Holtz: I don't know!
Katherina Craig: thats better
Jenny Holtz: No!
Jenny Holtz: He likes to practice on animals all of the time!
Jenny Holtz: They are safer with the knife fighters!
Jenny Holtz: I don't know...I mean it is such a good deal...I think I have to
have them!
Katherina Craig: okay Jenny
Jenny Holtz: And one more thing, at night I don't have a cage for them so I
would have to keep them in a kitchen drawer when I go to bed
Jenny Holtz: They are tiny enough for that right?
Katherina Craig: as you can see on their picture
Katherina Craig: You can have them as soon as you can provide their
transportation fee
Jenny Holtz: Are these dogs known for hunting?
Jenny Holtz: Just a quick question...
Katherina Craig: oh no
Jenny Holtz: I kind of have a cockroach infestation....
Katherina Craig: there are home companions
Katherina Craig: but are very sentiment
Jenny Holtz: there are a LOT or roaches...and I just want them to be safe at
night in the drawer
Katherina Craig: not to boarder all will be fine
Katherina Craig: Were are you located?
Jenny Holtz: boarder?
Jenny Holtz: Sorry I don't know what you mean
Katherina Craig: what is your state? city?
Jenny Holtz: I am talking about in my house! There are roaches and sometimes an
occasional rat...
Jenny Holtz: I live in NM
Jenny Holtz: So I need your honest opinion....
Jenny Holtz: will they be able to fight the roaches?
Jenny Holtz:

Hey Flipping, maybe you could try contacting Katherina again as your uncle the taxidermist, and asking if she/he has any puppies that "didn't quite make it" to practice on! Surprised
