DO NOT FALL FOR THIS. The global shipping company, and Qatar international
airport are also in on this scam I was ripped off and never recieved my puppy. I
sent the money via western union to this guy.
Name - Radebe Tutu Acholy.
Address- Bangkok -Thailand.
I knew something wasn't quite right when I received an email stating the
family loved the pictures, and I hadn't sent them yet! So with a little research
on Google, I came across your website.

money order check which will include the cost of the pet along with the shipping
fees and the payment willbe brought to you by a couries service e.g

Sarah,
Thank you for your response to Chewey. She is a great girl and I'm looking
for a great home for her. She is currently being fostered in Ponce De Leon, FL
but I am flexible about shipping. She is a rescue Lhasa. I will get pictures of
her and send them to you this evening. We are asking $150.00 for her adoption to
help cover the expense of her rescue. If you are still interested, please let me
know. She is white with light brown markings on her neck and back. She weighs
about 10-12 pounds. She is housebroken, but is sure to make mistakes in her new
home, until she adjusts. Your family sounds nice, your children are about the
age of my children and Chewey loved being the center of attention. She is truly
a lap dog and enjoys snuggle time.
Thank you again,
Angela

hello, i love the pics and my son like it as well. i am okay with the asking
price $150 but i will offer $180 for the pet as the amount added will serve as
the feeding fee till the arrival of my shipping company , as i have told you
ealier that i have a shipping company that are capable in shipping pets across
the coast and they assure safe delivery of the pet more so the payment will bear
the cost of the pet plus the shipping cost which means that the payment will
come in an excess. you can as well contact the shipping company at
flymit_shipping@yahoo.com , and they made me know that the pet will be picked up
right at your door step so you dont have to stress your self about the shipping.
so if you are okay with this kindly forward me with this information , name to
issue the check,your address to send the check to and your phone number . i
await yor response.
