Dogs for Adoption/For Sale by bigdannie - A SCAM? Please clarify in this Forum
I came across this ad in the QL adverts regarding dogs for sale/adoption. Since a close friend of mine is looking for one, I decided to send this guy a PM inquiring about the dogs.
Here's the thread:

But I thought the dogs are in Doha, Qatar? You never mentioned that the dogs are in Michigan.

But the response I got made me doubt if THIS IS REAL or a SCAM?

PAGING bigdannie, are you a SCAMMER?
What do you think, QLers?
Yeah, this advertisement is 100%FAKE! I also sent a PM to this guy inquiring about the dogs, and he didn't even answered.
And anyway, why he is in need to send the dogs from USA to Qatar?
And he had to much advertisement, so don't deal with him!
Yoour friend might send him the money, and no dogs will be received!
And another money to sneak to our pockets like those guys selling mobile phones and notebook for very cheap prices.
They have nothing to loose and if the money landed in their account they will be more than happy. SO the formula is simple. Just ignore any electronic mail transfer out of this site.
It really doesn't need any thinking whatsoever. It's simple.
$ Bank transfer = Scam ! (unless it's a well-known company or website)
a pet for sale on an international website...most pets sell quite well in the US without having to advertise overseas.....definitely something fishy here..
hey sis... i run to this ad a while ago...but i knew it was a scam while i was reading the said post...
anyways, i made an inquiry with the other post regarding an adoption of a bolognese... but no reply til now :(
we're still hoping to find one..soon...thanks ha!
That he's a FAKE when he started that bank transfer thingy...
I already got a dog (mixed breed-more of a golden retriever, I think) from QAWS, and this is for my friend who wanted a small dog for a pet...
I posted this so he could explain out in the open. I don't want people to think I'm rude or unfriendly or something (remembering the name & shame forum yesterday) :-)
indeed, these are the types of scammmers...the nerve of these guys..but we don't have control on this kind of advertisers..let's just be wise..:)
To be honest,it sounds for me as it is scam because he always is talking about money and didnt answered you clearly about your questions.Please be careful.

A word of advise, any advert that selling something in US $ is not genuine. Either ignore it or report it to Qatari.
they run a scam like that back home with cars...you send money and nothing comes to you...ask moombeam about adopting dogs from here..they need homes desperately! Besides which...when you get a dog, you need to see if it will fit your personality and lifestyle...how can you tell if its all the way from America and you've never even seen it???
