Hi..
Thanks very much for your response. I would be buying PUPPY you have
for sale so kindly reserve it for me. You have to bear with me that I
called with relay service, its because am hearing impaired. I am
sending you this email to make final reconfirmation of the PUPPY
which am willing to buy for my son as his birthday present and I also
want to let you know that payment will be by certified Check or Money
Order. However, I want to alert you on the fact that you will be
receiving the Check or Money Order this week or next week and payment
will cover your cost and as well as the shipping cost to be paid to
the person that will take care of the pickup in your house. So please
as soon as you receive the payment, get it cashed immediately, deduct
the money that accrues to you and send the remaining balance to the
Head Office of the company that handles the shipment via Western
union. Moreso, I will pay you an extra $100 if you can reserve this
for me. So in view of the above, Here are some of the details I will
need for final issuance of the Check or Money Order to you.

(1) Full Name
(2) Mailing address, no p.o.box please
(3) your direct telephone number both home and cell.?
{4} Acceptance of my offer
(5} Final asking price

Once you get back to me with all the above informations, the check or
money order will be issued out immediately and it will be sent to
you.

Regards
Roberto
 
What can we do to put kibosh on this kind? First nigerian scammers were using the relay and now this. We need to do something but what?
 
My suggestio

Contact the FCC & your elected representatives. Have them change the laws so that the operators are allowed to screen the relay calls. This guy admits to having attempted to call me on the relay. You are welcome to use my post or have the authorities contact me. PUppy love from Tipppytoes & furry folk
