Recently, my boyfriend and I have been looking to get a Great Dane puppy relatively young, but not pay outrageous amounts of money. I contacted 3 different sellers on a couple of different sites claiming they were giving the puppy away for "free" but we just had to pay the shipping costs. Peter Darcy- email address [email protected] said they were 12 wks old but sent me pictures of puppies that looked to be about 6 wks old. He described their personalities in full detail, which really tugged at our heart strings. He claimed to be giving them away for "free" because he can't take care of them because of his job as a journalist. DON'T GET A PUPPY FROM HIM. I contacted two others [email protected] and [email protected] (coincidentally he showed up in my spam folder) and both gave me about the same response except for a few differences. rhodesmark32 was in Africa and him and his wife couldn't take care of it. parkerjules5 is in Honolulu and says that due to their job and the moving that goes along with it they can't keep the puppy.
THEY ALL ASKED FOR THE FOLLOWING- name, address, nearest airport, cell phone etc.
THEY ALL SAID- that it would go through a shipping agent. What made me question the first person Peter Darcy was the pricing. He was asking 290, but the other two Honolulu was 250 and Africa was only 100. I decided to check out what the pricing was on shipping a dog and it was none of those prices at all!!
I asked Peter Darcy to fax me a copy of their medical records and their papers & an updated picture of the puppy, but he never responded back after that. Then he popped up on yahoo chat. I proceeded to tell him we weren't interested anymore and that we couldn't afford it right now. He then asked well how much can you afford.
DON'T BUY PUPPIES ONLINE!!! THESE EMAIL ADDRESSES ARE SCAMS.
