Shiba Puppies scam
From: alvez sanchez <alvezsanchez @ hotmail.com>
Subject: RE: Shiba puppies
Thank you very much for contacting me and for your interest in our Shiba Inu puppies.We still have both puppies (male and female) which we are willing and ready to give out to another loving and caring family. Our puppies are 12 weeks old.They are current on all vaccinations and we take them to vet for checks after every 2 weeks to proceed.
male is called (Caleb) and the female, (Dixie),They are home trained with children and other pets, potty trained and therefore are very socialized and friendly with strangers and other pets. We can assure you that you will live to love them very much for they are very special.
We are going to be shipping our puppies with the following items.
-Documents and papers
- Pedigree
-Book & Food menu
-The transfer of ownership documents.
- Health Documents
-immunization records
-Their food samples
- Micro-chip
- Vet document
We have been looking for a good home for our puppies and we have had many contacts,but we have to be careful so we make a proper selection. we are presently located in ....Perth ...I am 38 years old and i work for a pharmaceutical company while my wife is a nurse at a private hospital here.
These Puppies are very lonely now because our jobs have been very demanding of late due to change in our working time tables and we can not keep them home any longer, because we have no time to take good care of them like we used to and to give them the love and care they deserve. So my wife and i have decided to give them up for sales to another pet loving home at **($350 Each and $660 for both)** including shipping and delivery over to your location.
We are going to be very happy if we can find love and protection for the puppies in your home.
please get back to us as soon as possible if you are interested so we can make all arrangements for the puppies to get to you and for some photos of them .we will also like to know the following from you.
1) Are you a breeder?
2) Were are you located?
3)Are you interested in both or one? (male or female)
4)Have you ever had a puppy before?
5) Will you be okay to have them delivered to you?
Sorry for too many question, but i just want to be sure that my puppies will be going to the right loving and caring home.
Thanks again for your concern and i would be waiting for your response as soon as possible For PICS AND INFORMATION
best regards

From: "Admin Staff"<adminacresec @ hotmail.co.uk>
Subject: Final Mail From : Heir Hunters
Greetings,
I understand that through Internet is not the best way to link up with you because of the confidentiality which my proposal demands.
However, I have already sent you this same letter one month ago,but I am not sure if it did get to you since I have not heard from you, hence i am constrain to reach you through the Internet which has been abused over the years.
I wish to notify you again that You were listed as a Heir to the total sum of (Five Million Six Hundred Thousand British Pounds) in the codicil and last testament of the deceased.(Name now withheld since this is our second letter to you). We contacted you because you bear the surname identity and therefore can present you as the Heir to the inheritance funds.
Please indicate your interest immediately for us to proceed. I shall feed you with full details of this transaction upon receipt of your reply towards this proposal.
All the legal papers will be processed in your acceptance. In your acceptance, we request that you kindly forward to us your letter of acceptance; your current telephone and fax numbers and a forwarding address to enable us file necessary documents at our high court probate division for the release of this sum of money.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Yours truly,
Admin Staff.

Subject: I wait your quick response !!!.
My Dear,
I know this proposal letter might be a pleasant surprise to you as we don't know ourselves before. I am from Central African Republic, now seeking asylum in Dakar Senegal. I contacted you as a cause of my serious search for a reliable and trust worthy person that can handle a confidential transaction.
My Late father former owner of a Diamond Mining Company, but was assassinated by the rebels during the recent civil war in my country, and properties destroyed, but I narrowly escaped with some very important documents of (US$4.5Million) Four Point Five Million U.S Dollars deposited by my late father in a high financial company here in Senegal in my names as next of kin.
However, I'm seeking a trust worthy foreign personality like you to help me transfer this money pending when I will come over to your country for us to meet for investment of the money. Furthermore, I only want this to be done this way because your country is politically stable for any profitable investment, and I also want to add here that if accepted by you, you will serve as the original beneficiary of the money.
I feel confidence therefore, to introduce this offer to you, for your participation and all your assistance regarding this transfer, I have decided to give you 20% of the total money immediately the money arrive in your account. Therefore, you are requested to furnish me back immediately you receive this request to transfer this money from Senegal to your country resident account or any account of your interest.
On commencement of this transaction I want to let you understand that the future of myself depends solely on this money. So please keep this business to yourself only to avoid raise eye brow of any third party.
I am eagerly expecting your urgent response.
Yours Sincerely,
Mr David.

Assistance Required - Emelie Ingemar
From: Emelie Ingemar <web @ baers.com>
Subject: My sincere wishes
Hello dear,
I know you will be wondering why I must contact you to do this but this is the only thing I could think of now since my husband's relatives are after me. I am Emelie Ingemar and I was married to my late husband for 21 years without any child. He died in auto crash and before his death I had cancer of the lungs which affected me severely denying me the ability walk well. Doctors advised that I could live for less than half a year though I still believe that God will help me.
He has some money deposited with a bank in Europe. I made up my mind to use the money for charity organization, the needy and orphanages instead of my husband's relatives having it.
If you are capable of handling this project, then I will like you to get back to me immediately. You will assure me that you will use the funds judiciously as I have stated herein. I will be waiting for your response.
Thank you,
Emelie Ingemar
