All sounds a bit suspicious to me.

I'm about 15 miles North of Newcastle if I can be of any help to anyone?

 

[Janimal]

Im in County Durham....about 25 miles from Newcastle.(40 mins by car)

Hi all k9ers, i've replied to this very suspect ad, just saying can you give a bit more info etc,etc but i've had no reply but i just wanted to say im so impressed with all of you prepared to go and visit and look into and foster etc etc absolutely brilliant :thumbsup: if i was not in London i too would be up for checking it out as it does seem dubious, but as i say i have emailed them but nothing has come back if something does i'll let you know :thumbsup:

 

[05whippet]

Well lets hope that someone finds out something very soon...can you post up as soon as anybody gets a reply please???

I think perhaps we should be aware that if too many people reply to this advert it may create suspicion on the part of the seller. I don't know, I'm no expert at this sort of thing, just a thought.

That said, if anyone who has replied gets a response, it would be good to hear.

I replied to the ad the last Sunday, the day it was posted, but have heard nothing.

I reckon its some kind of scam but happy to do what I can if anything transpires.

I was wondering the same thing, or if they are already in Newcastle and if so why is the map on the ad of Edinburgh?

Then my imagination ran riot and I wondered if it was a scam to get ppl to e-mail and give out personal details of their own dogs etc, then following on from that their addresses for the 'delivery', only to find they are being targeted by dog thieves or whatever. Seems odd that the ppl who have tried to contact the seller have had no response though.

still no reply from this very dubious add :- "

My guess is that they were hoping for someone at the other end of the country to want to buy these "dogs" and then they would probably require that the new owner send the money for transport or some such. They'd pocket the money and dogs would never appear.

Call me cynical. :- "

I can't understand what is going on with this? Oh well, if anyone hears anything and I can help in any way then please get in touch. I just worry for these poor dogs.

No Evie, I think you are probably right, but it still begs the question why haven't they replied to the e-mails sent? It smacks of some sort of scam to me but as long as it doesn't involve some poor dogs suffering as a result.

If the emails they have recieved so far are from people that are willing to travel to view the dogs, perhaps that is why they haven't responded. I've a feeling there aren't any dogs to actually be seen. But I could be wrong.
