I raise Gordon Setter puppies once a year or so, and I get scam buyers all the time. I get an email/phone call (can always tell by the accent) and they say I want to buy puppy - without asking questions. Red flags galore! I do NOT sell puppies without checking the people out. They say that they will send a money order for the amount of the puppy, and will include $400 extra dollars for shipping the puppy and $100 extra for my trouble. I am to take the $400 and western union it to the shipping company - who will be picking the puppy up at my house. Yeah, right. What happens, is you western union the $400, and then a week or so later you find out that the money order that they sent you was bogus and you are out the $400.00 I didn't fall for this, but alot of people do!
