Did someone have 2 GW's "accidentally" have babies? Ugh. ...and if they didn't have to work so much, they're implying they'd keep them all? :52:. That's not a breeder's ad for sure!
Edit: Oh! I just looked at it again and this time I saw it said FREE! Who in the heck would do that? It's ridiculous.

It's a scam.....contact them & they'll want you to wire them $$$ for shipping.....check it out, I did with one scammer a couple of years ago, had some fun & I think I posted the various contacts with the guy around here somewhere.....

I'm sure it is. Although when I read it I figured the person was just "real stupid" thinking that most scammers would have a little more sense to word it a little "better"? No... Come to think of it, I've seen some pretty bad ones!
Don't feel bad RG, at least you've not donated to any of these scammers' health/welfare & retirement funds, have you?
Most of these scams are written by someone whose 1st language is not English, though a couple of scammers have been caught living in the Mid Atlantic states and one I know of living in the Carolinas, though two were from Nigeria, can't remember where the third was from.....

Nope. Not I...
someone tried to get my husband to share his (this person's) wealth just because! HAHAHAHA! Someone "didn't know what to do with all their money" so they contacted people through email randomly. We thought no you've got to be kidding me, a first grader could make up a better story than that! :11:- Thread Starter
