A few indications that it is a scam when communicating with them:
* very poor english grammer
* they dont want to give their location unless they know where you are located, the reason for this is that they can demand shipping/transportation cost.
* they dont answer your questions directly.
* they praise you for being a animal lover.

My sister wanted a english bull dog realy bad and came upon the website desplayed above she saw that some one was giving away free bulldogs! It just did not sound right to me so I went and send the person Maria mariamontserra12@yahoo.com a request to also have a puppy, after the first mail she send i knew something was not right. It turned out I was right she started asking for shipping costs and a few other things the first thing that got me thinking that some thing was wrong was that she stated in her advertisement that she was from South-Africa but when she asked for the shipping costs she suddenly lived in Scotland. I am just glad that my sister did not fall for it. Please guys watch out for this scam.

A dipshit called DAVID PALMER scammed me...and I lost R1600 on a deposit for a beagle puppy. This guy was shameless. People refer to him as "THE IDIOT"...because he has poor grammer...and generally he is just stupid when you talk to him. He has a french accent. When I confronted him...he threatened me. That was THE LAST straw. NOBODY frikken threatens me on MY turf. Police are advised...and I am on a huge mission to bring this idiot down. I have all the evidence of his threats. There are a couple of them...and they work together. Watch out for the numbers: 0780181561 and 0711667214. They even went so low to play the "christen" card. May they rot in hell...and die a slow painful death. I'm pissed!!!

I have been trying to shut down these phone numbers through mtn, vodacom etc.
Here are three more to be wary of:
James Hamilton - 073 972 6798
Patrick - 083 242 6482/071 914 7500

The only option (fornow)is to phone them and harass them until the Rica cutoff happens at the end of the month. (I hope) I doubt the police have the resources to deal with them considering our serious crime rate. Also report any suspicious ads to the actual websites or flag them as spam/fraud etc.
The giveaways are:
'Trained' puppies, mis-spellings, bad grammar, the photos too are generally taken of the web. Google the images of that specific breed and you will find the exact picture they use.
SHARING THIS INFO ON SOCIAL PLATFORMS WILL HELP THE SITUATION THE MOST.

I GOT A MAIL FROM
lucia-marisalive.com
we are based in 24 Poseidon Crescent, Bluewater Bay, Port Elizabeth, Eastern Cape. it takes 2 to 3 hours for the puppy to be delivered .R1800.00 this money will cover all the expenses and flight/delivery charges from my address to your home address . I will be able to send the puppy over to you tomorrow or when you are ready depending on when we get your details and the funds from you.You will get the puppy within the next hours flight depending on your destination from the time i send her from here . The exact flight time and all information will be sent to you as soon as we are done with the arrangements.

I hear about this all the time, there are still a lot of scams out there!
Always try to see the dog and the dog's parents and then ask a lot of questions.
Rather stay with registered breeder with a registered kennel. Check QTPie Kennels' Breeders list for Yorkshire Terriers

Meet Smith. He is 12 weeks old now and goes for R2500.! He is not just a puppy but a once in a lifetime companion. I believe the little things I do now make a difference throughout the lifetime of your companion. He was born and raised inside our home and has started his house training. I have introduced him to basic commands like sit, kennel, off, ah-ah no and come. His adoption includes papers for pet registration, complete medical record, health examination, and health certification. I also provide a daily schedule including current diet, feeding schedule and potty routine. My goal is to raise the healthiest, happiest puppies possible and place them in a loving home.

And this is just half of the mail that was sent to me.

Thanks once again for the warning.

I am amazed at how many scams there are. It must be heartrending to lose all your money to a scamsters. Please be careful, and never pay over money to Western Union. Clearly a scam! You can find reputable breeders on www.dogworld.co.za or www.showdogs.co.za or www.dogbreedersgallery.co.za. Please check their references before ever paying over any money.

Has anyone heard of ChrisLawrence20 11hotmail.com. His cell number is 083 342 8719. He claims to be a breeder. Add reads as follows:

So I googled his email address and he also "breeds" with schnauzers and Siberian huskies (and I’m sure there are others), using exactly the same words in all his ads. And now I found a site where he also sells quality tigers and cheetahs... seriously??? But I have a big surprise for him. I will be scamming him as much as he is scamming me. I will fax through a fake EFT and see what happens.

PS in hindsight, the fact that there are NO SA Breeders for old english sheepdogs is a dead give away that this is a scam...

K, last update. The puppy "arrived" last niht but the "manager" was not there to sign the release. DR Morgan is the delivery man for Animal Travel. So I get a phone call to say the puppy has diarreah due to stress and is being threated, but now I have to pay an additional R2,500 to have ths USA kennels or whatever to release the puppy, money refundable tomorrow. But is has to be paid directly into FNB today. Account details: RT Nganmenwi, acc 62279971719, branch 250655. So I phoned FNB Group Forensics, gave them all the details, and although the agent couldn't divulge any info she instructed me not to pay anythhing, that this is a scam and has put a hold on the account immediately. Ths is flagged at all the financial institutions. I will make a case against him and forward the case number to them tomorrow and a full investigation will take place. Now that's or Morgan. The update on Chris Lawrence is pretty much the same. I phoned nedbank, gave them all info I had... to be continued

Oh, and I fowarded all the correspondence to Nedbank as this might assist somehow in the investigation...

Thank you, I suspected something was wrong when I asked him on the next litter his answer was: as soon as possible... WTF... To those whom have been scammed: I'm sorry for your loss, but THANK YOU for doing this, you have saved us!

I cant believe I was scammed!! I feel so incredibly stupid!! I was looking for a puppy and the exact same thing happened to me. Suddenly a crate cost etc ughhhhhh

Stay away..... He use other website pictures as hes own.
