I recently listed a littler of Irish Setter pups for sale on numerous web-sites. The very next day after I listed them, I started receiving tons of emails claiming to want to buy my pups, some even wanted 4! I sent emails to them (giving them the benefit of the doubt!) and finally started telling them, that if they were serious, they must phone, and we would no longer be responding to emails. All wanted to know "the condition" of my dogs! They're 3 days old! Alos, wanted to know "the final asking price", my price is firm! And, everyone has "their own shipper", well so do we, it's called DeltaCargo! I just thought I would send the info along to you in the next few emails, so you could post it on your site. I find it offensive, because I am seriously searching for loving homes for our pups. I thought others might be interested to know what's going on, too!
Thanks

Thanks for your interest, we would appreciate it if you would just give
us a call anytime at . This will be easier for all of us, if we

We have had many emails this morning, and we have found that most of the

This was the second email from this lady, after I responded to the first. It's very much like the "Dash for Cash Breeding" scam I read on your site.

Thanks for your interest in our pups! We will need to call the airline company to get all the info on shipping out of the US. Are you wanting a male or female? We have 4 of each, and they will not be ready to leave until early to mid July. Selling price for male or female is (US Dollars) $500, and that is firm. Shipping costs will be extra. Within the US, we charge $225, I am not sure if the cost would be any more going to the UK, I'll see if I can get that info a bit later today. Where in the UK would we be shipping to? I am interested to know which site you saw our ad posted? Of course, if you are serious about owning one of our pups, we will need to chat via phone, just to get all our info to you, and make sure you have the proper home for the pup to live. We would be delighted to have Gwynnie's babies living over-seas, but we must be certain they would be properly taken care of, and happy as well! If you'll get back in touch, to let me know where about you are in the UK, so I can get accurate shipping info, that would be great! Also, feel free to give me a call at 859-748-9567 any time so we can get to know each other a little.
I look forward to hearing from you, soon.
Thanks again!
