WARNING: Internet Scammers Forging Paperwork—STAY ALERT

A drawn red circle with a white exclamation mark inside of it.

Internet scammers are forging documents including AKC registration certificates and bogus AKC sales contracts as well as images that they swiped from the Internet. Stay smart, watch for signs. Read the examples and make sure you do not get scammed. It can happen with any purebred or mixed-breed dog, and they may forge any club or contract. On some AKC papers, they have even listed a dead man with the address of a Holocaust Memorial as the breeder.

We live in Miami FL, but if you can't come up to Miami FL then i will have to arrange for a home delivery service that will get the Puppy delivered over to your home. So if you are ok with the idea kindly get back to me with your full delivery details such as your,

Hello;
I sent your requested info,

I really need to see pictures of the parents to verify that these pups are NAID's or at the very least, proof of registration. If you can give the names of the registered parents I may be able to verify their papers from the NAID registry. Please give me all your contact information including address for verification. Once I can verify, I will wire transfer funds into your account.

Thanks

What is the address where I pick up the puppies and see the parents? Does he keep them at the college? Near Nigeria? Do I need to get a passport to pick them up? I thought they were in Florida? I will only transfer to a bank, moneygram is not a reliable means for money transfers. How about I transfer the funds to your checking account being that you are in Florida. Then u can money gram it to him. I will call you tomorrow to discuss this further. Tomorrow is a holiday so I can't transfer funds until Tuesday. I see that you did not send a copy of the mothers AKC papers. I will call AKC on Tuesday. Being I have the AKC and member number of your son on the registration certificate, they will be able to provide me with copies of the females certificate. I can also notify them that they have the wrong address for your son as I'm sure any mail or certificates that they sent to the memorial has been returned.

From Scammer

hello
thanks for the email and also as for the pick up of the puppies you are going to come to
address:
Mr/Mrs, Clinton Deen & Paula Deen
153 Apt New Port Street Ave, Miami FL, 32129

you do not have to get a passport to come and pick ok, yes the puppies are in Miami Florida so you are going to come to the above address i gave you to pick up the puppies the reason i asked you to transfer the money to my son is because he needs the money very urgent for his exams and also for his keep ups so transferring the money to him via money gram is fast and a reliable means for him to get the money for this exams and needs,
if you transfer the money to my check account here it will take 2weeks for the money to get to my son and for that delay he may disrupt his final year exams so he advice me the fastest means i can send the money to him is via money gram to this mail i have attached the pedigree papers of the puppies that is the family planning of the puppies so i will love it if you can transfer the money tomorrow morning to my son so he can start school please do understand with me ok
thanks and waiting
