I want to buy a dog online, is this a scam?

this is the email i was sent:



Hello and thanks for your interest in adopting this my lovely Baby Zoey is still available for any pet loving family. i am just so concerned about her welfare and hope you can assure me of that.

she is barely 14weeks old and home raised, potty trained and well socialized and gets along perfectly with children and other pets.she is pure breed puppy . she is updated on all her shots and she comes

with a year health guarantee.she love to be carried around and cuddled and full of caressing and kisses.she comes alongside the following

- A year health guarantee

-A crate

-Vet record

-Food samples

-Puppy toys



I am giving her out for adoption because of my newly acquired Job as a law enforcement officer from Italy which demands a lot of my time and entails a lot of traveling. As such, i have little or no time to spend with her.she is

really in need of a home where she will be provided with all the love, care and attention she is being deprived of here.cost is $275 with shipping inclusive.I am currently on a 2months assignment here in Alaska (U.S.A)which is the more reason i am giving her out because I'm about to leave back to my country (Italy) because my assignment here in the U.S is coming to an end .however, i can have her shipped to you if you can assure me that you will take proper care of her by answering to the below questions



What state are you located.....................?

Do you Have kids who are playful to pets................................?

Will you love her to be ship to your location............?

Are you married.................................…

What breed do you want..................................?

Do you have other pets........................... ?

Do you promise to take proper care of her............?

To provide pictures so i see how they are doing.........?

Thanks so much and get back to me if you think you can provide a good home.

Similar letters are all over the web.



This is a scam, don't even bother replying. If you are really interested in having a pet, ask your local vet for recommendations of breeders in your area, or if there is an equivalent to the RSPCA or an unwanted dogs home near you, it will be cheaper and easier for you to go there.
