Bad idea!! This is most likely a scam and you won't recover your money. Sounds fishy... it costs $250 to ship ONE puppy within the U.S. Find a breeder in the U.S.

When you hear about anyone wanting you to send money via Western Union to Nigera, it's time to run the other way. They have been doing this to people everywhere, and unfortunately, there is always someone that falls for it. You were smart to ask here first. So believe it, this is a scam!...you will send the money and will come to find out that you never received a puppy. U can even go to google and type in some words such as Scam Nigeria Puppy and i'm sure a whole bunch of stuff will pop up.

Why pay 300 dollars for puppies you have never seen in person? Why not avoid an obvious scam and adopt from your local pound or animal shelter. There are plenty of puppies you can go and meet first and make sure they are what you want and you will know for sure you are getting a healty pup. Check out www. petfinder.com (the recently teamed up with Animal Planet) they are a great site to find dogs near you and your dogs will already meet local and state laws so you wont have to pay a whole bunch of money to take them to a vet right off hand because most already have they're DHLPP shots before leaving the shelter. Good Luck, and I comend you for chosing adoption. "Don't Breed or Buy while Shelter animals DIE"

There are millions of puppies in the US. Get some from here and DO NOT SEND THEM MONEY It is a scam. They will make up fake shipping info and everything...don't you watch the news? If it seems too good to be true, it is. Why pay for shipping free dogs when you can just pay for the dogs themselves and pick them up.

It definately sounds like a scam to me. I would contact Nigerian customs and ask them what the charge is for this phone. Then get back to the clown that you ordered it from and tell him what you learned about that. You can contact the Nigerian federal government to find out about this "so called" law that doesn't allow them to send money to other countries as well. You may have to chalk it up to a lesson well learned if you don't get anywhere.

THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A SCAM!!!! Why adopt a puppy from another country when you can adopt one from where you are? Quit believing what those people have to say, especially when it involves money!
Also, if they needed money that badly, do you actually think that they will spend a whole lot of money shipping the puppy to where you are???

If it were me and I'm going to say everyone else i would wait till i get the dog and if it is excactly what you want send them the money and if it is a diffrent dog send it back or keep it then send the money.but I wouldn't send the money till you get what you the right dog or you can be nice and send the money even when you get the wrong dog either way make sure it is what you like.that way if it is a scam you won't end up as a victim and you get the dog for sure.you choice. good luck.

This is a scam. Just another ploy to get people's money.
Find a local rescue and save a real dog.

I'm with everyone else, there is NO reason to find one there,when there are hundreds here.Use the money to save some at your local shelters instead.... It's a scam big time!!!!
