[QUOTE="SuZir, post: 624951, member: 14557"] Most common scam in our hoods is to sell something you don't have. Usually electronics in Craig list and eBay-type places. Other lately popular, and also at times successful, has been puppies on sale ads. Around here small dogs tend to be pricey. Pure breads are usually from 1500 dollars to 2500 dollars, mutts or 'pure breads' without legitimate paper work are still closer to 1000 dollars. Even if we forget (often smuggled) puppy mill puppies that are sold with false stories, but are actually real puppies (if often in-bread, sick, poorly treated etc.) there has been ads about comparably cheap puppies, but when the person has bought those puppies, there has started to become extra fees to get them to country, for documents and shots and so on. In the end there has been people a grand poorer with no puppy. In these cases there has not been any puppies to begin with, but they have managed to scam quite a many people, because the starting prices have been so low, around 300-400 dollars. [/QUOTE]
