Looking for a Shiba Inu puppy. Search started on the web at Doggies.com. Input search criteria which led to breeders.net. First listing for Shiba Inu was "wonderworldpuppies". Still is. Address listed at Zanesville, OH. I emailed to the contact information. Received a return email with pictures, cut and paste questions, cost, address in Texas, no mention of a contract, poor grammer and spelling, the use of the acronym asap, and no name at sign off. Spidy sense tingled. Today, I received a follow up that I would be contacted by a shipping service with instructions to use a moneygram for full payment, I was asked again for my full information, though they had most of it in my signature sign off, and urged to provide this asap. No name was ever given from them. Just "Best Regards" on sign off. Wow! Searched the web for scam alerts and found there are. Checked the website domain and it looks like its registered in Copenhagen. Googled the address on Maps. One of the pictures of the white puppy shows a reflection with a fire hydrant and house in the background. Satellite map shows no street behind or hydrant across the street in front. And here I am filling out this form. I do not know for certain this is a scam. Thats for someone else to ascertain.
