This guy is a jerk and a fraud. He contacted me as well with the same b***s*** story that he gave everyone else who has posted before me. I am doing everything I can to report him and catch him.

I got a hit off my eBay classified listing for a senior dog from this guy. This makes me sick! I'm legitimately trying to find a wonderful home for my dog and this guy is running a scam. I was suspicious  for a couple reasons: he sent me a text at 1 am; refered to my dog as a puppy when she is 7 yrs old and then wanted all my info, as well as to ship her. On top of that he wants to send me a check and use western union and then give me $50 bonus!?! Um no thanks guy. I'm so glad I've worked in a bank in the past and was trained to be suspicious of stuff like this, especially with a western union transaction involved.

Do not conduct any transactions with this person!

Everyone contact the FBI's internet fraud page and report this.  The online form was easy to fill out.  Thanks, Nikki

He said he got my info from backpage.com

Same thing happened here. His sentence structure was odd and I could not understand emails well. I played along and will be taking his check to turn him for fraud. He thinks he can get away with this he is wrong. I already filed a complaint with the FBI. Hopefully he will get caught and punished.

I received the same the same thing as everyone else, I am in Texas.

I received a call from a person saying they were Paul Graber from phone # 781-951-3873 asking about sending me a check for a puppy I have for sale & me shipping it off...a convoluted situation. I checked this number & found this website & saw that others are reporting this exact same situation; The messages exactly the same.

He just replied back my email. What should I do? My instinct is to tell him off but, I don't know--he's now gotten my home & cell phones (SH*T). I guess I'll just string him along & make no more contact. I notice his sentence structure & grammar are odd; and with him not wanting to speak over a phone, I'll bet there's a reason! He just said he's in Texas.

OMGosh I'm SO GLAD I looked up this number & found this site with warnings about some kind of puppy scam. I received the EXACT same email, verbatim, & a text message from a "Paul Graber" from address paulgraber987@yahoo.com , phone # 781-851-3873. I was right in the middle of the deal & decided to look him up b/c I didn't like the thought of shipping a puppy off to gosh knows where!! I hope he emails me back so I can tell him a couple of things.
I fell for the hearing impaired statement & considered him trustworthy! I did have a wierd feeling considering his tone but mostly about the confusing part about getting my information & about the way he wanted to handle the transaction. Just read the original email he sent me and a couple of the others here on this site. Let's post it to FaceBook as well & ask everybody to Share it around! Whew!!!

Yep.  "Paul Graber" is still at it.  Just got a text  from 781-951-3873 to send him an email.  I should have known better (since he asked if I still had "the puppy" for sale, and I have 4).  Thanks for the warning.  I DID, unfortunately, send an email from one of my gmail accounts.  I don't use that email address much, but I hope he/she doesn't give me a virus.  I will obviously disregard further such texts or his emails.  (I had something similar happen a couple years ago when I put a truck on Craig's List.  These people are pernicious!)

I got this message too, just today in fact. I would never agree to an arrangement like this. I'm in arizona, glad I decided to google his info. Thanks for the original post, made me confident in how I responded back to him.

I got the same text as above I reported the number to police

Same here...
