i was almost scamed yesterday. i recieved a phone call from a shipping agency WORLD WIDE PET SHIPPERS BRANCH FLORIDA (fake) telling me to check my email. i wasnt home at the time and i didnt have a computer near me. i told the person( who has a really strong accent) if i could get back to him later because 1. i didnt have a com puter and 2. i couldnt understand what he was saying. he started giving me attitude and telling me to check my email because supposebly my golden retriever puppy was already in san josh and the only way i could get her was to pay first. i found it strange since earlier that morning i recieved an email from the seller saying that she was only going to register her for delivery.
i also found wierd that the seller lived in san francisco and then all of the sudden she was in florida for 4 months. her add was posted on oodle.com
heres our email conversation. start from the bottom up to the top

im glad you saw us as a responsible and loving family for Dela. my family and i are very excited to have her join our family. Especially my daughter. We think she is adorable! i'm just a bit confused about the price. Am i only going to pay the $ 400 for the delivry or am i going to pay the delivery plus the $350 you requested for Dela? Also, i understand the delivry will bring Dela to my home but do i pay when i recieve her or how does the process work?
i'm going to send you my information, but if the price is over $400 maybe i can wait until you are back to San Francisco. if you have time, maybe you can call me or my wife to clarify.

Hi Herbert ,
Thanks for your reply and above all your promise to take good care
of Dela.I just needed to be sure that Dela goes to the right home
that is why I wanted an assurance that you will take proper care of
her.I have received the assurance I wanted and I am willing to hand
Dela to your family.
Like I earlier told you the state of my job always keeps me busy and
entails a lot of traveling.Presently I am in a 4 months job call in
FLORIDA.I am here with Dela but since you have promised to take good
care of her,I will register her at a Pets Delivery Agency for home
delivery to your door step.You are only going to be in charge of the
delivery cost which you will pay to the delivery agency before they
commence with the delivery.I made some inquiries and was told that the
delivery of Dela to your destination and door step will cost you
$400.
I will need some of your contact details for the registration of Dela
at the delivery agency :
your full names?
your city?
your zip code?
your house address?
your telephone numbers?
These are the information's that will be needed for the registration
of Dela at the delivery agency.Once I am through with the
registration,the delivery agency will contact you both on phone and
e-mail that the delivery status.If I can have these details on time,then I
will drive to the delivery agency with Dela for the registration.
As for me all I want is for you to keep to your promise of taking good
care of Dela as promised.Greet your kids for me and tell them that
Dela will be very happy to meet them she loves the company of kids so
much.While waiting to read from you,best wishes to you and your family
THANKS

hello lural. its nice to hear from you. My family and i have been looking for a golden puppy for a while now and like you said they are a bit pricey. We live in San Jose, ca. we would love to adopt Dela and i can promise you that Dela will be in good hands and 100% safe.. She will also get all the attention she needs. Plus, Dela will get all the exercise she needs since we like to go walk everyday and in the summer we go to beaches often. Pretty much, she will be treated like a princess with us. My family and i, which includes my 17 year old daughter, 13 yr old son and my wife, are dog lovers. we Love dogs and animals. My daughter is the one who is crazily in love with animals(mostly dogs). she works in an animal shelter. She is the one who will mostly be taking care of the puppy as well as the rest of us. We have a 7 year old chihuahua mix but you dont have to worry about him because he mostly keeps to himself now. He recently had surgery on his ear because he had a hematoma( swelling of blood in ear). the surgery was expensive and we didnt have that kind of money but we didnt want to give up on him. luckily we found a clinic that helped us with a low cost surgery. what i'm trying to say is that if anything were to happen to Dela that neede medical attention we would not give up on her. We will also make sure she is up to date with her vaccinations and check ups.
We will be happy to send you pictures of her whenever you like. you can send us an email or even contact us at (H) 408-XXX-XXXX or (C) XXX-XXXX
We hope to hear from you soon!

Hello and thanks for your interest in adopting this my lovely golden retriever puppy...she is still available and she is by name call (Dela). 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..Dela is a pure breed golden retriever puppy and A KC registered.Dela is updated on all her shots and comes with a year health guarantee.She loves to be carried around and cuddled and full of caressing and kisses.. She comes alongside the following;
- A year health guarantee
-A KC registration papers
-Pedigree papers
-An air conditioned crate
-Vet record
-Food samples
-Puppy toys
I am giving her out for adoption because of my newly acquired Job as an auditor 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.It is very obvious that golden retriever puppies are very expensive breed you know but i don't sell my puppy all need is an assurance that she will be well taken cared of..Her adoption cost is $350 which is for her shipment as I am currently on a 4months auditing assignment in FLORIDA which is the more reason i am giving Dela out for adoption. 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;
Which State are located.............?
Are you Married.............?
Have you kids...........................
Do you have other pets.................................?
Do you promise to take proper care Dela...................?
To provide pictures often...........?
Thanks so much and get back to me if you think you can provide
a good home for her.
Thanks And Stay Blessed..
