Scam contentsDear Sir/Madam,

Thank you for your interest in offering a loving home to our precious puppy. We are pleased to inform you that he is still available and ready to join his forever family. Our main priority is to ensure he goes to a caring and responsible household that will provide him with a loving and safe environment. He is sure to bring immense joy to your family.

Here is some information about Joe:

Name: Joe

Breed: French Bulldog

Sex: Male

Age: 10 weeks

Disposition: Joe has an excellent temperament—he is very loving, fully socialized, and potty trained. He is up-to-date with all vaccinations and shots. We pride ourselves on breeding healthy, happy puppies with great personalities.

Joe enjoys adventures and is always ready for activities such as playing fetch, going for walks, and exploring the yard. He has been eagerly waiting to meet his new family, and we believe you could be the perfect match. Once you meet him, we are confident you will feel the same.

I noticed that you are located in NSW, and we are based in Tasmania. The total cost for Joe, including the $350 shipping fee, would be $1,150, so $800 for the puppy and $350 delivery fee.

Before we proceed, I would appreciate it if you could answer a few questions to ensure that Joe will be going to the right home:

Have you ever raised or owned a puppy before?

Do you have a veterinary clinic in your area?

Does your living environment allow pets?

How soon would you be ready to bring Joe into your home?

Please find pictures and a video of Joe attached to this email. If you are interested in proceeding with shipping, please let me know.

We truly care about finding the best home for Joe, and I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Best regards,
