And be careful when you advertise your puppies or anything like that online. I put up an advertisement TO buy a puppy of a certain kind and I was getting floods of "I will pay you 3000 for your puppy if you will agree to send me the excess amount within 24 hours of receiving the money order" kind of deal.

Pretty much...if they claim to be from another country...its a scam. Not always...but 99% of the time...its a scam.

I don't understand that letter. What do they want the dogs for? It doesn't say what you would be doing either?

I receive baloney like that often. I have emailed their site to people that check them out. Fully knowing they are cons. I've also heard of people traveling to Arica,for some reason that is where most of them come from.
