Hi All,
My partner and I have recently been looking for a puppy and we saw an advertisement on gumtree, Kent site, for a pair of Beagle puppies needing adoption. The advertisement title was: Lulu, the amazing Beagle puppy for adoption.
I responded to the ad and asked for some more details.
The email address that was used to respond to me was: [email protected] (KELLY JOANS). My partner then found another add on a website for ads in Cornwall. He also sent an email for more information and the email address that responded to him was [email protected] and the text in the mail was exactly the same as the one that I had received, word for word.
I carried on emailing and getting information on the beagle puppy, gave them my name and address for delivery etc I thought that I would give them benefit of the doubt, and then I didn't hear anything.
I have got an email to day from [email protected] asking for the payment of £180 to get the puppy delivered today. They wanted my card details. I checked over the email and the company was based in Cameroon, the vet that 'checked' the puppy was in Scotland. Everyone was everywhere??
Luckily, I have not paid anything nor given them any of my card info. I have told them that I would pay cash on arrival after I inspect the puppy and paperwork...not heard anything since.
When I get a chance, I will copy and past the email trail that I have and hopefully, it will help someone else.
