Those are standard questions from any breeder,but the locations dont match. Dogsonline i have heard bad things about,however there is a site where people can put you in touch with rescued dogs or one of their own from litters - Australian Dog Forum
 
Years ago, I bought a Dalmatian from RSPCA in Sydney and I had to take it back before it would either attack me viciously or kill my other dog!

You just don't know where these dogs come from or how they've been treated/scared!

More recently, as I didn't remembered the lesson learnt, I went back to RSPCA to adopt another Dalmatian for my son and they tried to convinced me that a white Great Dane was a Dalmatian X, "for only $550" !! - Ouch!

We should all make enquiries with this guy, he would think he is in massive cash but then realise we are all messing with him and then he has less time to scam people.

IS THAT CARSONLINE? my friend had the same sort of response... "I WORK ON AN OIL RIG OR IM IN THE NAVY" etc....

I dont know how these scams work but I figure it must be more indentity theft then actual financial theft???

I was told they use a stolen credit card to deposit the money in your bank, then a couple of days/weeks later you have the federal police knocking on your door asking why you have that money. At the end of the day, you're left with no money and no product! :/
 
There are a few different ways this can work, but its what's known as an Overpayment Scam. They will either pay too much money into your paypal account and then invent an excuse for an overpayment, or organise to overpay you so that you can pass their money onto a 'third party' that their situation prevents them from doing. They will then ask you to refund/forward the excess amount via a transfer (such as a Western Union money transfer). They are hoping you do this before the paypal payment fails to clear. Have a read of this.

They can also email you a fake paypal receipt for the purchase price and overpayment which contains a phishing "paypal" link (to get access to your paypal account).

From what i have been told, the scam is that they do pay for the car/boat etc, via paypal, they then arrange to have the car picked up, then open a dispute with paypal & paypal legally have to return the money (unless sold on ebay) So at the end of it all they get your car/boat or whatever for nothing. We just recently sold a car on gumtree & i am telling you i had AT LEAST 200 of these 'requests' all the same, all working on oil rigs or similar. They also target many other sites, its important to include in the add that you wont except paypal payments, & then although you still get a few who try, they are not as bad if they know the chances are slim.
I guess there are many ways they could make this scam work in their favor though.

As for looking for a puppy.......i wish u were closer!! This is our little boy (our dog is the father & this was our pick, we got him today) He will stay with us for the next few weeks, then we will rehome him :(

Poor fella has come on hard times, is illiterate and needs to sell dogs and is slighty confused as to where he is so you decide to call him a scammer
Shame on you all
 
Yayayayayayay! Found my little princess a little maltese x ****zu pup.... I think those that if it was advertised as a "designer dog" it would be called a Maltishit....
