Karenmartens@yahoo.com. emailed me about a pup luckily emailed sounded strange so i looked her up .. and i found out scam. She cant get none of my pups... trick no good

This "Karen Matens" , phone number (903)732-6787 ....contacted me saying she wanted to buy one of my bloodhounds! I am CRAZY when it comes to who I sell too and therefore luckily figured her out pretty quick, HOWEVER I am so angry that she is out there scamming people! She is sick- literally sent me the exact same emails and texts as posted above!

I got the same but from a different number in Seattle Washington but it was to buy a puppy. The number was 360-967-5487.

I sell puppies and have seen this kind of scam for many years on other items, like Craigslist items and now someone is trying to do it with puppies.
Definitely a scammer....this person will text you and ask you to e-mail him or her your information to karenmatens@yahoo.com  for them to send you a check.
They will take care of the shipping and even send you extra money for you to send the difference back to them.
BEWARE!

Weird if you want a dog come get it!!

thats why I always punch the # in google. to find these peeps.

Scammers:

Hello this is Karen if you still have pup or dogs, for sell email the details to this email address.......karenmatens@yahoo.com

Yes, I too am selling pups and getting these text messages. It is definitely a scam.

I wish there was something we could do, she now text me this long message this morning, explaining why she needed to email:(2/3) email and i also want u to know this reason why i am using hearing impaired deaf internet text message pls email me to this...(1/3) ok fine i want u to know that i can,t be able to talk due to my hearing impaired deaf that is why i want us to put the comunicate via...and a lot more! I have just ignored her so hopefully she stops, I will report the email as spam also. Any other suggestions appreciated!

Yes that's what I said you just don't know how strange these people are!

Is there anyway we can red flag or hook them too you know there doing criminal if not pervert sh%# to these animals. Can't they be tracked n investigated. N what Can they do with my email? I did email them jus to tell them to jus text but when they did I was asked to send the pics of the pups (any breed)which all of that was provided on craigslist n eBay class. I've also had someone else txt asking info that ws already posted as well that said they wanted to purchase for there own personal use,....needless to say I've gone off on both these freaks but there's got to b more to catch them up. ANY SUGGESTIONS????

Notice the pathetic grammar  and a mile long sentence.  "Bless you" - a common closing for a scammer.  "I live in this state".  Someone will pick up the pup.  No post  office  box (avoid postal inspectors).  Yahoo email address.  Your daughter had the right idea but it would probably be best to completely ignore the" buyer".

Same thing!

I got the exact same thing!  I'm so glad I looked it up.

Thank you for this message. I got the exact email you stated you received. I had a bad feeling about it and now I know for sure that she is not getting a puppy. Thanks

I got a text from them to email them. I'm selling puppies but I got all kinds of alarms going off! What is your experience?

Has anyone had problems with this number?

Just got a text from the same person about puppies. Karenmatens @yahoo. Thans for the warning. The phone number is from Seattle WA.

i just got a message on my phone from the same number.  something told me to look up the number =before I replied by email.  Thanks for the heads up!

I got a text about a puppy. Wanted me to send the puppy and they would send a check that would bounce for her hearing impaired son. Saw right through that . too bad she had to involve a child. true or not.Anyway i reported the email as spam. email was karenmatens @yahoo.com

Scammer....they will text you and ask you to e-mail them back.

Definitely a scammer....they will text you and ask you to e-mail them back.
