I responded to an ad on craigslist about a woman and her husband selling two Boston Terriers. The ad was targeted for the district of columbia area but the woman said that she recently moved to El Paso Texas. She asked me several questions about my environment and my experience with dogs and after sending emails back and forth she told me that I was chosen to gift the dog to. Since the dog was being gifted to me all I had to do was to pay the shipment of the dog to me. I got a call by a so called representative from Oasis Shipping Express and he told me he would take good care of my dog and that it will be sent to my address in less than 24 hours. He asked me to send $300 to an online payment service and that he would be in contact with updates about the dog. I was also given a tracking number but the tracking number was never activated on the website.
