A woman emailed me summer 2008 asking if I would sell her my highest price puppy for %50 less then I was asking.
I emailed her that I had less expensive puppies.
She replied that she already bought a very expensive puppy from a breeder in Fall 2007, paying $4000.
She said the puppy had arrived sick and cost her another $2000 so total cost $6000.
She then went on to say that when she tried to contact the breeder, she found the website and all contact information online GONE!
The woman made this statement to me about her puppy:
"My Chihuahua is triple the size promised by the breeder,
has a crooked jaw, long nose and is quite ugly"
Her email ddress looked familiar so I did an email search and found that she had emailed me Fall 2007, the same time period that she bought from the scammer! Here is the email the woman had sent to me fall 2007:
Date: 9/20/2007 10:45:22 P.M. Pacific Daylight Time
Do you have any itsy bitsy female puppies?
I really want one that will be 2 lbs or under as an adult.
She then requested that I promise her that Sherbert would be under 3 lbs grown
I refused to make such a promise, so the woman left me to continue her search for the "promises".
I am sure it was not long before she found a Scammer to guarantee whatever she wanted to hear!
How difficult is it for a con artist to lie?
Are you curious how I did on my adult size estimation of Sherbert?
.
Sherbert was sold to a family in Ohio. They flew here to California to pick her up .
They called me late 2008 to update me on her.
Sherbert is full grown and weighs under 3 lbs
She is pictured with her owner below.
