Default What do you guys think........

This is not on the topic of boats but I do want to get somebody's opinion of this reply i recently got from an online add I responded to for some French Bulldog puppies that i enquired about, keep in mind that most frenchies go for anywhere between $1200-$4500 per dog, I originally asked for a phone number and this is what they replied back with....................

Hi
Thanks for your inquiry.We do have just two pups remaining.They are so
beautiful and lovely to be re home to just proven families.They will come
spoiled with abundance of love and desire great deal of attention and
love.They are 11 weeks old and just fully grown to be Re-home

We are asking nothing but just $380. We are looking for reasonable,
knowledgeable and cautious person who can offer them tenderness;
nursery with lots of love kisses and hugs.We are not out to make money
from them since they where just like our own children
and has been our perfect companion, our main concern is to give them
the best they ever want. ROY is the male and MIRIAM is female.

Each puppy will be micro chipped,vet and deliver with all health and vet
certificates from our vet,play toys and a puppy package.

Attach to this mail below are their pictures.Take a look at them and get
back to me with your choice and when you are ready for the puppy to be
shipped.

Where are you located?

-Have you ever kept such big pups before?
-How much time are you always free to spend with pups or other pets?
-How often do you vet check your family pets?
-When are you ready for the pup to come etc


Looking forward to hear from you.

Thanks

Jaason - I have been looking for an Eliminator Daytona. How do you like your 28? Have you found any bad points? Would you buy another 28 or would you go for a different size? What drives are you running and have you had any isues with them? What speed are you seeing?
Thanks
Steve

What if it was a puppy mill? Maybe not, but theres one close to me, and the dogs are kept in outdoor cages - they're treated like wild animals.

I'd go see for myself before dropping serious cash...

This is almost certainly a scam to get your money.

Rule 1. if it is too good(cheap) to be true, it is a scam.

The only response I would want from the seller to prove otherwise is what is your address and phone # I want to come a see the dogs before I pick one out.

If they give you anything but an address and Phone # you know it is a scam.

I breed German Shepherds and get that crap all the time. Cash & carry is the only way I'll sell my pups. Tell them you will pick the pups up in person and watch the excuses...

Ask if the parents are champions or just AKC registered. My guess is that this is a puppy mill.

How can you guys not spot this scam from a mile away? Look at all of the grammatical errors in the e-mail.
