"we can't keep the puppy (an alleged 14 month old Yorkie 'baby") any longer, as it does not agree with the Florida weather."
the notice appearing on Facebook .. and the Buffalo, New York caller ... the potential recipient of the alleged puppy available for adoption ... ... . had some questions ... here they are ..... prudent .. and specific .. and thoughful ....
we have not seen Facebook being utilized previously by the scammers in the African country of Cameroon.
Sounds like a reasonable story .. yet .. and there's always a hitch.
Here's the bait ... "it will only cost you $90.00" ... that's the hitch ... .. and that's before the switch.
and the "Florida resident" stated .. " you will give the money to Air Animal at the time of the shipping".
Please Note: Air Animal does not engage in the transportation of puppies where a commercial transaction is taking place between a seller & buyer.
When the Buffalo, NY caller asked the "Florida resident" ... for the name and phone number of the Florida families veterinarian of record to familiarize themselves with the pet's health issues ... ..there was NO answer forthcoming.
When the Buffalo, NY caller asked the "Florida resident" where they lived in Florida .. there was NO answer forthcoming.
The moral of the story ... when it seems to good to be true; it is too good to be true.
