Hello Maria,

What do you mean for you to send me this kind of message.If you know you dont want to adopt the puppy you wouldn't have at least talk like that to me.Am going to report this case to the authority so that they will get you arrested for this kind of word you alter to me.

Best regards.

Hello Mare,

The pups I advertised has been taken by one Mrs Jessica Robinson and the pups were doing quite well with her and her family according to her recent update about the pups welfare at her home.

I want to refer you to one rev.james jonny who graduated from Concordia University in Ann Arbor, Mich., (B.A. 1982) and Concordia Theological Seminary in Fort Wayne, Ind., (M. Div. 1986 and Ph.D. 2002) and associates with Penticoaster Church of Nigeria.He bought two puppies from me as well,but know he has been to west africa due to the fact that he just lost his father who happens to be a native of Nigeria and his name is Honorable Gbenga Adeboye.He has been called upon to come and claim the benefit of his great father for his the only son of his father and he his the next of kins as well.His father works in the ministry of health as the HOD of the ministry.

He contacted me some days ago to find a caring parent that will love to adopt and take care of the puppies. He told me that he has no time for the puppie again for that the process of getting the benefits is too long and the money he spent on the welfare of the puppies is much,and the african weather is so harsh according to him and this is really troubling him so badly.He will love to read from you asap.
Contact Rev. james Jonny asap and tell him I refered you to him. He would be excited if he knows you are from me.
Below is his email address:

Get me informed as soon as you adopt the pups from him. I will send a starter-kit to you.

Best Regards.

Hi, wanted to know if you still had pups available, we could do a local pick up as well. Are there the so-called "teacup" yorkie and how big will yours grow into? Would love to hear from you, thanks, Mare

I too responded to one of this persons ads and got almost the exact same letter that she did, only for american bulldogs instead of yorkies. A couple of names were changed but not "Rev. James Jonny", which is how I found this posting. And thank goodness for it!. After reading this post I wrote a complaint to the website I found this person on, and then sent a message to the person whose bulldog pic he was using to lure people into thinking he had pups. Then, since things got a little nasty with the previous poster, I emailed him and said I had a sick family member and couldnt take his pup. Within hours he emailed back saying that he could still "help" me out and send me the pup free......all I have to do is cash a check for him because there are no check cashing facilities in Africa. Yeah right buddy. He said he would even let me keep 10 percent of the check for my disabled family member, I just had to send him the balance of the check. This guy is gutsy, and anyone wanting you to cash a check for them is full of bull and scamming you. He asked for my full address, full name, phone number and nearest airport. He also told me the pup would be dellivered directly to my home. Stay clear of Rev James Jonny and the so called "breeder" he has posting ads "robert lassen pets" I asked if the pup was papered and he said she was AKC registered....if you know the breed you know that the AKC does not recognize the American Bulldog as a breed they will register.
