Kindly let me know which of the puppy you are interested.They are all 13 -14 weeks and available for free adoption. The 1st, 2nd and 5th picture is female while the 3rd and 4th picture is male. But sorry, I'm now presently in Africa on a Missionary program with the puppies at Methodist Church here in west-Africa, I left for west-Africa on Friday 03/18/2008 and the climatic weather here is bad for the puppies.

They are AKC registered, healthy at full grown and there shots are given up to date. I can arrange for the shipment from here via Express Pets Delivery on next day delivery through a shipping agent.I'll ship along with all their bath and a brand new crate, toys,food sample,and dog kits.

The shipping cost is 200 Pounds. each....But i will need your full assurance to take good care of my baby because I'm giving you 100% assurance on his heath and I'll ship along with all his paper work and heath guarantee. Payment method for shipping will be through Money Gram.

Also email me the follow details below for delivery purpose,
Your name:------------------------
Your Address:----------------------
Your Day phone#:--------------------
Your fax#;---------------------------
Nearest Airport:----------------------

Note:I am just willing to give them out for free adoption as a result of the unfavourable weather condition of the location i am presently,and i can not take care of them they i use to so when i was still in the state.Just need the shipping fee send to a shipping agent to have
them delivered to you.

Kindly let me know which of the Bulldog puppy you are interested in.

You can call me on 009 234 7037955821 for easy communication on Shipment.

Await your response,
Thanks and GOD bless

Hi

We would prefer a male, the 4th. is lovely.

Regarding collection, my husband works for an airline so we could arrange this on our own cost or he could come to Nigeria to collect the little boy and we can pay you in cash.

Please let me know. We are so excited about this.

Thank you

Sally

That's mental Shocked

Have you let the magazine know?

Posted: Mon Apr 07, 2008 7:24 pm

Yes, I have notified the magazine and the actual publishers of the advert. No doubt they will deny that it is a scam and ask for 'proof'.

If anyone would like to email these people here are the emails, but please be civil, it is not their fault and I am sure there is no intent on their part to mislead.

Hi

Thanks for your fast answer but there are two problems. Did you read my email? I said that my husband can come down any time to Lagos to get the little one and we would like to do this then we can save the shipping cost, but we will gladly pay you something in cash for your kindness. Also could be please have a copy of the AKC certificate?
