So i think i told everyone about how i am helping my friend rehome her boyfriends dog. It is not so much rehomeing it, as it is helping him get her adopted or sold. He took her out of a bad situation, from his friend who was not treating her well. He has been training her and socializing her for the past two months and has been very successful. Her two main problems now are very husky type problems. 1 is that she has an intense prey drive and 2 is that she is an escape artist and can clear a 6 ft fence like its nobody's business! Well, a little over a week ago while my friends boyfriend was in the hospital getting surgery, she got loose and has been in impound ever since. He is unable to get her out, my friend can't get her out. So i have been trying to contact a husky rescue that can take her, and i posted an add to try and sell her on ksl.com. This was emailed to me last night and i am not sure how to take it. ksl is a utah based site, but this person says he is from the uk. read it and tell me what you think:
Greetings, I saw your advert posted on the internet for sale and i'm very much interested in buying it from you.I'm currently based here in uk. I will be responsible for the shippment from your location to my base, so I would want you to get back to me with your asking prize and recent pics and also I would await a reply from you.
I've always been told to wonder about posts like that from another country. What is the reason he can not get a rescued husky there I wonder. Theres no way to know if he will be sent to a proper home without someone checking out his living situation, unless you go there. He could easily lie and take pictures of someone else's yard to make you happy.
That's a scam. I can guarantee it. The 'greetings' part is what does it. When I was selling a car on the internet for my husband, I got so many of those 'greetings' emails. And they were worded almost the exact same way. Email them back and say some made up asking price, and I would bet an arm and a leg that they will come back with some cashier check/money order thing and how they are going to pay you like thousands more than you'e asking because they owe someone else money too or something like that.
