I have a cousin who heard that one friend's friend wants to get a dog (a good breed with MKA cert) from a supposed seller but the person only giving the dog out because she said she wants someone dog loving to take the dog.
However, the recipient needs to pay about RM600 to the transporter company and the sender is requesting Full Name and IC Number and Address for the receipt of the dog.
Could this smell like a scam or does such service exist?
first of all, i believe your friend got this seller's info from petfinder, mudah or else where. secondly the seller claimed to be a widow and from sabah and give the pure breed pet with cert for FOC. its a scam and i almost kena when i wanted to get a cat.
see "her" email below
