i replied with this

helllo yes i am interested. very. how old is she? she would be in great hands. i absloutly love children. when will you be coming down to Missouri?

he responded

Thanks for your reply, she is two years old. So that means you are caring for her (Ella) from 8:30am to 4:30pm Monday to Friday. Transportation would be in my vehicle as I want her totally in your care at the above time frame. The time frame is within May 20th. Get back so I can have you booked as I am rounding off plans and allotting money to issues that should be settled prior to my arrival. What’s the total price estimate for the time frame? Get back to me ASAP
Thanks

Andrey

Hi , There Thanks for the mail and the interest in adopting my dog.she is still available and ready to go.Spectacular pure breed AKC registered with all shots,vaccines and vet records updated. I am a ventinary doctor but i have been relocated to Cameroon for a seminar. so i took my baby with me to keep me warm but for the time that i have been here i noticed that the climate and food here is not what i have wanted for her. In placing my dog out for adoption,i am looking for reasonable,knowledgeable and cautious person who can offer her tenderness,nursery with lots of love kisses and hugs.I am not giving her out for sale.she is up for adoption.I am willing to pay for her shipping fee to your location.This adorable,cute and gorgeous dog 4months old.She would be the perfect match for you.she will be the best playmate you’ve ever dreamt of.With her great personality and good temper with kids and other pets,she would be the one to steal your soul.she would be coming along with she vet records,and all her AKC registration papers attached to her package. Promise me that you would shower her with lots of TLC .And i would never like that my baby should end up in a shelter or rescue.,feel free to mail me.If you are willing to get her,please e-mail me asap so that i would stop all other contacts .If you have any more question to ask i will answer you truthfully and faithfully .I would like to ask you some few questions if you do not mind. 1…Are you a breeder??
2…have you been keeping pets??
3…Do you have kids at home?
4…Are you going to keep them or give them to someone?
if this sounds okay then what i would be needing from you now are your full names,full address,phone number,fax number and the nearest airport to your location. as soon as you provide me with this information i will immediately process this papers work and book her flight and get back to you with all the information you will needing to pick them up at the airport.i will you information so as to process her custom and adoption papers which will bear your names and will show complete legal transfer of Nina to you, this paper work will be attached together with her registration papers and your full address on her travels create to guarantee safe delivery to your home.
Thanks Awaiting your kind response.

I am interested in the puppies. Can you please tell me what
breed they are, and a little more about them? Also, I would
love photos if you could possibly send a few to this email,
and tell me where you are located? I am in the Denham
Springs area. I am happily married & we have 3
children. We are looking for a puppy to keep inside as a
family dog. We have lots of love to give, & she would be
spoiled rotten! Hope to hear from you soon!

Kindest regards,
(my name)

I then noticed the ad was removed from craigslist. (which was this morning) I just received a response, and this was the email:

Calvary greetings to you and thanks for the interest in my lovely baby. Her name is Emily, She is still very much available for her new home, She is such a playmate for kids and other animals, 12weeks with 4 days old now,She weigh 15Lbs right now and at full grown 50/55Lbs. She is Calm and Quiet and very playful too, She is AKC registered and her shots are given up to date. will come to you complete with her veterinarian health record, registration papers, a blanket that smells like “home,” and several feedings of her food. Want you to know that she is Free “BUT” but for only someone who will provide her with a sweet, loving home, all we desire from you is love and care for her and not to make her feel like she is not with us anymore because my girls really adores her so much, we will also need an assurance from you that we can come and visit her anytime to see how she is ferring with you. Right now we are in the Christian Missinary home with my family
so that’s where we will be shipping her to you from all you need to provide me is your name:- , City:- , and your nearest airport to have her delivered right to you. And all you will need to pay is her shippment fee, which i will let you know after i find that out from Express pets delivery they can have her delivered to you next day. Please if you know that you are not going to take very good care of my baby or you will not be able to have time for her please don’t bother getting back to me as my daughters will not forgive me for that. After we have shipped her to you I will let you know when we will be able to make it to check on her while she is with you, we just need a loving home for her. Will await to read from you Asap, Susan

And attached was a picture of what LOOKS like a purebred english bulldog to me. I find that too good to be true. Plus she never mentions the BREED of the dog. My husband’s been wanting a bulldog, and I’d take it in a heartbeat if this was in fact not a scam. Someone please reassure me this is a scammer? And where can I report it??? Does this go on often on Craigslist?
Here is a link to the puppy I was sent photos of!

http://i431.photobucket.com/albums/qq34/faeryfantasy/Emily.jpg

Ok, thanks everyone. That’s what I was afraid of. I know the ‘going price’ for those puppies, so it kind of sent up a red flag when I opened the photo and saw that gorgeous pup staring back at me!
Thanks for the suggestions – I am going to send a response right now asking to come pick the dog up in person. Will let you know how that goes, but I doubt I will get a response back since this goes on all the time. Pretty sad!

Hi,
I did get your response concerning the AD I posted on craigslist. The house is still available but presently I’m not around.. I did bid for a portion of petroleum land sometimes ago in West Africa and fortunately I won the bidding so I have to move quickly down to Africa to have my company set up because I will still have to rebid for it in the next 10 years. I came over here with my wife, we both built the house when we got married. As soon as we settle down here I had a thought of selling the house so I have to look for an agent, after getting one, we got a deal but later my wife advised against that. She said we may not be able to win the bidding next time, in other to keep our head when we return that we have to keep the house. I reasoned with her and accepted her advise. So I contacted the agent back and requested for my keys and documents. Later we decided to have the house rent out, we would have give the same agent this job also but the truth of the matter is that the agent would want to handle it professionally and the occupant may not be able to reason along with him later. If you notice, you will discovered that the price we are offering is far below standard price, this is enough for you to know that we are not after the rental fee but the absolute care for the property. I know there is no way I can be sure that you are the right person to live in the house because we won’t be able to see physical before sending you the keys and the documents to occupy the space. But I just had a feeling that anyone who knows what it takes to put the kind of structure down should know that maintaining a building is mandatory, so if you belief you can take good care of the house and handle it like yours then I will be more than happy to let you rent the house.
Please if you are ready now to occupy the house kindly provide the information below for record purpose
