Re: georgeous maltese baby for adoption

I wrote:

Hi,

We would love some more info on the puppy you have up for adoption.


Scammer Responded…

hello and thanks for your interest in Betsy. she is still available and in very good health. i am much more concerned with the welfare of Betsy and hope you can guarantee that. as concerns Betsy, she is barely 3 months, home raised, potty trained and well socialised, thus loves the company of kids and other pets. she is updated on all shots and comes with a year health guarantee. regarding myself, iam a human rights researcher and iam presently at Los Angeles, Ca where iam on a 3 months human rights research programme. this job of mine entails alot of busy schedules and travelling that givs me little or no time to provide Betsy with the kind of love, care and attention she deserves. this accounts for the reason i am giving her up for adoption to a home where she'll be treated with much love, care and attention. infact to a home where she'll be treated as a family member and i hope i can be assured of that. the adoption cost is $300 with shipping inclussive. its gona be a 3 hours flight within the US. where precisely are you located?. get back to me for more information if you can provide a home for her. recent pics are attached below.
thanks and get back

I answered:

Well, that's cool, I'm just outside of LA and can come by to see her and pick her up. When would a good time for me to come by be? Just need your address.

Scammer responded:

ok that sounds great. so when are you ready to come for her?. let know as soon as possible so that we can just have everything started. waiting on you.

I answered:

Well, I need to get your address. Would tomorrow morning or afternoon be better for you?

Scammer Responded:

ok here is my address, but please i'll require that you pay atleast $175 for assurance and preparations. this is because i am too busy and will not be able to make out time to get her prepared when you are already in LA. i want to hand over Betsy to you immediately you come over to LA. here is the address

Jacqueline Molina
200 N. Spring street
Los angeles Ca, 90012

So let me know if you are paying the money and what time will like to come for Betsy. get back to me asap.

Scammer answered, after a delay:

hello Amanda and sorry for the delay in getting back to you ok. just that i had to leave to catch up with an important appointment. remember i told you my job is soooo time demanding. however, regarding the payment, i'll prefere that you pay the $175 via Money gram because i'll need physical cash for the preparation. you know credit card and paypal will take some time for the payment to be processed. besides Money gram is just besides me and payment will be made available for pick up within 10 minutes from the time of payment.You can as well use your credit card in doing the payment online at www.moneygram.com(select the emoney transfer option). all you need in doing the payment is my address which i already provided to you. as soon as you done with the payment, an 8 digit refference number will be provided to you and you'll have to email it to me inorder to let me pick up the money. so when are you willing to have the $175 paid?. let me know asap so that i can make out time to have the money picked up and have Betsy prepared. i'll just hand her over to you asa you come over to LA. also what time are you willing to come for her. get back to me asap so that we can just have everything started.
