Received the following e-mail after making contact on Kijiji :

Thank you for visiting our site and for your inquiry regarding our Female Great Dane Puppy NINA. We are familiar with this breed and have raised them over the years and we have made out time to properly educate ourselves on the breed  to be of help to you as a prospective buyer. Our lovely Nina is raised here in our home around kids and other pets that are dog friendly.

We own a small motel here where we live too and our pets are all raised right here together with us as one big loving family, We are both retired from the Military service though from time to time, we are called up for some duties as a result of our experience but that only happens 5 hours every month so we stay home with Nina almost all day and night. We have raised 6 children, all now in their 30’s and 40’s – So Nina is like our child now, and we are always with Nina and take her with us wherever we go. In the evenings, she always sit with us on the couch. She is never left alone for more than 2 hours.

We have 26 acres of natural beauty here, and Nina has loved taking her walks on it and exploring it. Nina enjoy meeting our guests quite often, and those who are dog lovers really have loved Nina. We constantly show our love for Nina throughout the day, and we very much appreciate her intelligence and personalities. Nina closely resembles her Great Dane mother in size and appearance. She has all her first and second set of shots implying that she is all vet checked and up to date on all shots and vaccines and is now ready and fit to move into new home with her new owner, 11 weeks is just a perfect age for re-homing. We breed more of family oriented pet than actually show dogs.

We do not breed to make money. We are hobby breeders so we do not depend on breeding as a business. We only do it for the sake of experience and for the love of the breed so our fees is affordable enough for any pet loving family as we leave Nina for $960.00 dollars that is for the 50% off. Nina is good for apartment life. This breed can be fairly active indoors and will do okay without a yard. Nina is a dog which enjoys lavishing love on her human companions as much as she loves the same treatment in return. Step towards getting Nina in your home within the next couple of hours. We welcome visitors once every week to take a look at our facility.

Responded to the queries above. Several e-mail exchanges took place and then they advised that I had been "approved" –

That sounds good, my partner just went through your emails, we feel good about this so we have decided to place Nina in your home, all our puppies are potty trained and housebroken. As for the paper work and shipping process, it normally takes a couple of hours to complete, though sometimes it could take a little longer, how ever the whole process hardly exceeds one whole day. We will meet the shipping agent and we will call all airlines to find out which of them has the most direct flight to your location then we can book the flight.

Nina will come with a handbook that explains more on the life styles as well as feeding, and toilet habits, some vet record which is well explained in the hand book as well as a Puppy Care Kit which includes some helpful information that should help you facilitate the transition process in your home. I’ll advice you to get the following grooming tools within a month or two from now: Shampoo, Conditioner, Pin Brush, Nail Clippers, Ear/Pad Trimmer, Ear Lotion, Scissors… (this e-mail went further to outline proper food, vet requirements, etc. They then wanted the following details to prepare the Adoption Agreement…

About food, I feed all my puppies with Wellness dog food, Grain-free or Purina One and NuVet Vitamin’s that are excellent for them. I choose to feed with these because they are relatively modest and readily available across the United States and Canada at most department or grocery stores. There are many opinions on which dog food to use. This is a decision only you can make, but keep in mind Purina has been making dog food for over 50 years and they do extensive research on nutrition and protein. Other dog foods may cost more but that doesn’t necessarily mean they are better.

However for us to prepare the Adoption Agreement and the Application, We need your full names and address as requested below, The information will also be used at the airport to transport Nina to you as the receiver.

1) Your full names?

2) House address?

3) Province & City?  

4) zip code?

5) Phone number?

6) Nearest Airport?

Then came the e-mail for payment. This was adamant, and suggested falsifying information, and then the transfer details were suspect.

You will transfer the money to us using Western Union or MoneyGram as they are much more easy and fast. You will use the information below to transfer the money. So you have to locate the nearest Western Union shop/store in your area and transfer the money to the information below. The transfer should be cash pick up.

You can also transfer the money directly online if you have a debit card following the below directives:

For Western Union Online Payment With Debit Cards Only:

1. go to www.westernunion.com

2. click send money

3. sign up

4. chose cash pick up as the way you want money to be received

5. chose pay with debit card only

6. Fill in receiver’s information listed below

7. click continue

8. You must chose the option "money in minutes"then follow the steps to complete the payment and you will need to fill in the receiver’s information. Below is the receiver’s information:

First Name……….  ADE

Last Names………… VONVOG  NJIE

Country………….. CAMEROON

State………. LITTORAL

City……………. DOUALA

Post Code…….. 00237

Amount…………$1,225.00

Little advice: In other to avoid paying high transfer fee at Western Union or MoneyGram, if they ask you to who you are sending the money, tell them you are sending to a relative or friend Ok. don’t mention anything like it’s for a business purpose or you are buying something. When you say to a relative or friend you will not be charge to pay high transfer fee you will pay about $18 for the transfer but if you mention anything like business or buying something, you will be charge to pay very high fee for about $100 for the transfer fee which you can save to buy food for the puppy. Let us know if it’s understood.

We will ship Nina on the preferred date that you will fill in the adoption agreement as soon as we confirm the payment from you. Once you make the payment we will immediately prepare the contract document and send to you.

Also if you are to make the payment online. When you complete the payment, you should receive a PDF email with the receipt, you just have to forward the receipt to me as confirmation for payment so we can proceed.

At this point I stopped correspondence and ceased any further contact. So I did not succumb to the fraud or lose any money, but I am disturbed by how it appeared to be quite legitimate.
