kittybee Posted May 15, 2012 Report Share Posted May 15, 2012 there is an advert from "jessicagray034"on the classifieds page. her number is a 070 number, which may be international. be VERY WARY of contacting her about these pups, there is a lot of scams going on (i cant figure out how to report hmy suspicions on here....) can anyone tell me how?

MJ Posted May 15, 2012 Report Share Posted May 15, 2012 roughly doing what you have, as all the mods are volunteers and have lives of their own, it may be a short while for one of them to get round to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kittybee Posted May 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 15, 2012 I might be wrong, this might not be a scam, but just be wary folks .... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saltire Posted May 15, 2012 Report Share Posted May 15, 2012 If you are concerned then google the number, its a mobile and she is based in Leeds, still dont know if genuine but she has these pups advertised on a few diff web sites and there is an email address for her if you dont wamt to phone.

Fjool Posted May 15, 2012 Report Share Posted May 15, 2012 Rather than investigate properly; I've just ditched the advert. Don't have time to look more closely. Apologies to jessicagray034 if this was genuine; please get in touch if so. Either way, it seems to be an abuse of the Shetlink classifieds as this is for Shetland, not Leeds.

kittybee Posted May 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 15, 2012 its ok, did my own investigation as i ken you are all busy wi jobs etc, and i was bored............ she said she was in kirkwall, and would send the pup if i paid 150 pounds delivery.... i replied and told her my fiance was in orkney working, and that he would come and view them - (har dee har)..... this was her reply.......... "i am a shop owner and hardly have time as i work from 7amtill about 7pm with no assistance so the only time i have is spendingwith my family.so delivery would be the only option" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scorrie Posted May 15, 2012 Report Share Posted May 15, 2012 Fjool: How about automatically dumping any 'pet' advert that doesn't have an obvious base on Shetland? Eg: No 0195- number or a comment to the effect: "Near Aith" if a mobile? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
