Hello,
My name is Scott Thomas, I came across your email address through a Google email surfing Affiliated (Surfing what?) and i just wanted to let you know i have some pure breed English Bulldog,Yorkshire Terrier they are so adorable but due to my job i am unable to take good care of these babies, So i want to find them caring & loving home`s who will take good care of them and willing to adopt one or all,if you interested in having one of them, please contact me immediately for more details and information.
Thanks

Scott 

The way this scam works is that the so-called puppy owner needs for you to pay for transportation of the puppies to your location.  You wire the money - usually via Western Union - to some third party to handle the transport, and guess what...no puppies ever arrive, and more funds are needed to get them out of quarantine or some other line of bull.  These types of scams are targeted towards the heart-strings of animal lovers, but rest assured, there are NO puppies, just a scammer trying to steal your money by luring you with the cuteness of puppies in need.  You're better off visiting your local animal shelter to adopt a homeless pet, if you really want to help an animal.  Remember...if it sounds too good to be true...
