I've received several texts always with poor grammar, always wanting details of the puppy, (singular), always wanting the info sent to a separate email. The one time I went along with it, the group sent me a fraudulent bank check, including an additional amount for a shipper. I was to deposit the check and make a draft to pay the shipper. I thought it was suspicious from the beginning. The caller said they were in Washington, and the bank was out of Texas. I researched the phone numbers which were 3 people listed at the same residence in New York, all with different names. The police there said they knew them well. I took the check to my local bank and asked them to check the bank it was drafted on. My bank found that the check was a well produced forgery. The police said they were unable to do anything because no crime had been committed as I hadn't cashed the check. I did turn everything over to the PD.

I received emails from this number as well, who stated that they wanted to only communicate due to their hearing impairment. I knew this was too good to be true but I still went along until today, 10/06/12. I received another email from a "Paul" character & his email was written the exact same way! Poor grammer, that the puppy was for his sons upcoming birthday. That is when I knew I have been had!! It was all a scam!! Be sure to do your homework before submitting any information. They even gave me a Fedex tracking number, stating that the check was on the way. Now I know it was all a scam, I will just toss the check in the trash. Again, if it sounds too good to be true, it probably isn't!! By the way, the other number was from Indiana area: 317 203 9077.

This person wanted a puppy...had poor grammar and wanted too much of my personal info....wanted to send me cashiers check and me to cash  immediately and send him bk remainder of money..he was writing for more than amount....suspicious...
