    Bound to be a scam. No doubt in my mind.

    I thought the same thing so i emailed them and here is what i got back....


    Hi
    Good to read back from you. She is up to date in all her shorts and vet
    checked. Attached is her pictures. She is well tamed and potty trained.
    She is a STAR. She is home raised and gets along well with kids and other
    pets. She is very socialized and playful. She is vet checked.AKC/CKC
    Registered. She is very loving and gentle spirit. She is very awesome and
    loves attention. She is very smart at this tender age. She is 11weeks old.
    So, if you would provide her with enough care and love, then
    I would give her to your family. Are you a Christian? Because I would love
    to give her only to a God fearing family. Also, I'm no longer in the state. I'm
    now in Cameroon and can only get her ship to you if you will be able to pay
    for the shipping cost.
    Let me know your decision
    Thanks










    ..and of course there were no pictures. Sounds like he is wanting you to send money and he won't send you the dog.

    I answered an ad the other day on Craiglist (Raliegh) and the car was in North Dakota. Yeah, OK, I'm going to pay to have a used car shipped. NOT! Scammers abound, that is for sure. :banghead:
