It's a scam, I guarantee it.
He'll charge you for shipping, but you will never recieve the dog because there IS no dog. They always say they're missionaries or Christians.
He's actually in Nigeria, this is another variation on the Nigerian scam. It's very well known.

Most definately. Ask for proof as vet records being scanned or a picture of the pups witha newspaper showing the date to prove there are pups and I guarantee you won't get he's also had Yorkies withteh same excuse for over 6 months now.

Please don't fall for this scam.Anyone from UK offering free pups is a scammer and if you send any money to him ,you will loose your money and never get the pet.If anything sounds too good to be true,it usually is.Try going to some of the sites below and check out the scammers list on site.You will probably find this person on them.

All free dogs are a scam. They seem to all be in Nigeria. Don't ever even email these people and report them for abuse or spam.

I feel that this is a 419 scam, where you will be lured in to part with cash and or meet with the person and be robbed or held to ransom.
See http://www.419eater.com for more information.

There's no such thing as a free puppy, easy as that. Anytime they ask for money up front (pay for shipping) is a huge red flag.

i definately think that is rediculous. Why would a person offer to fly their dogs to another location? surely there is a person in that country who would want them.
If you do not know this person, or know how they got a hold of your email address, i would ignore it completely.
