i've seen it before. there was an ad in one of those local free "newspapers" in english that you can find on the NC. yorkies to give away.
i sent email and the response was along the lines "we are poor missionaries in zimbabwe (or some other sudan) and we will send you our precious doggie with god's help and few hundred bucks for transport".
so: old nigerian scam :)

Total scam. I can't believe how bad some of these scams are getting. Talk about lazy. Whatever happened to the imagination of "you just inherited untold billions and we need $200 to get things moving". Just think how many German Sheppard puppies you could buy with untold billions.

A side note to dv8. I love your MD's name Dick Titball. That took some imagination.

yeah, scam, years ago in Sosua I saw the ad, too, for a couple of free Yorkies.  I asked my friend and she said she'd take one.  So I sent this guy an email.  I got back a story about a couple of missionary workers who needed a home for these dogs.  I would have had to pay half the shipping from Africa.  I was amazed to see the Nigerians work their way even to our classifieds.  I had already known by then that all dating sites were infested with Nigerians and there's the email where they need to park like a trillion dollars and you get a piece, but this was freaky, they really stay up nights plotting their next goofy con.

There's a constant to their scams: they're poorly written regardless of the language. They are funny though.

I got one from the UK shortly after I used my Visa Card for a train ticket. They had my info.
"OXFAM Lottery Winner'' , I had won one million pounds stirling and just had to send a few hundred pounds stirling and the funds would be released.
Response: Please redirect my winnings to Oxfam Canada as they are raising funds for the latest disaster in the world.
I live on Sable Island with 500 horses and we have no need of currency as we simply barter with horse manure ; on the other hand you seem to be peddling the same thing; "Horse Sh*t".
I felt better ... but it kept up for a year or so.
Never use your Visa to prepay train tickets in the UK!
Nigerian Virus is everywhere.
For those who do not know Sable Island is the graveyard of the Atlantic ... no inhabitants ... just horses there from the
1600's. Governed by Nova Scotia ; oil and gas rich coastline.
