hi i just think i got scammed by a guy in africa. he claimed he was a vet adn he was in africa for commission and then he was going to china next week. he had an english bulldog for sale and he was only asking me to pay for the shipping. i have desperatly wanted an english bulldog so i thought wow i need to jump on this offer. i sent the money through western union to him and he told me that there was a problem that the puppy broke the crate and that they needed his insurance certificate and that was going to be another 300.00 i told him to forget it that i dont have that kind of money he then said that he came up with 200.00 that if i can send 100.00 i told him no that im on to his lies that i have been reading about these scams and that if i dont have my money in the next week im calling the cops |

 gee do you think you got scammed? of course you just got scammed,but i don't think calling the cops is going to help,although go ahead and try.and by telling this guy you were going to call the cops,i really don't think he cares,he's laughing all the way to the bank.sorry for your loss but i don't think you'll be getting your money back. |

Im trying not to get scammed. I just got two emails in response to my ad for schnauzer pups. They both came from "hearing impaired" people who want to send me money and they will take care of the shipping. One is in New York. I am in TX. The other does not say. I know its odd so I have not replied. They want my address to send the check too. Just want to know if anyone else got this kind of response from anyone. |

That is almost guaranteed to be a scam. I would highly recommend not doing that.
I am hoping right now that I just didn't get scammed for a crap ton of money. I won't say anything else until I know more after this weekend. I am hoping this is just an honest mistake type thing, but I am mildly concerned at this point. |

These folks sure make it hard to trust anymore. I am sticking to the people I can see and talk too. Thanks for the quick reply. My head told me it was not right but sometimes Its nice to have someone else agree. Good luck on your transactions. |
