I was contacted...same type of situation. For a puppy and using the name Mary White now! Claims to be hearing impaired. Said her agent was another individual in California! Check came from PA. I did not cash!

Sorry I forgot to tell you that the bank can clear the check but after 4 or 5 days they realize that the check is fake and you are gonna loose that money. Be careful do not deposit it you will have to pay it back.

Tell this lady that the check has been hold by the bank and that they are investigating.  Try to mention FBI.

this ashley madden been texting me about my pups and sent me a check for $610.00

i am going though the same thing now i am selling my pups for $350.00 and she just sent me a check for $610.00 and it game from the same place as your's from ashley madden. i am gonna monday go to the bank with the check and her address thaT SHE GAVE ME AND SEE WHAT I CAN DO. something has to be done with her.

Glad I could help.

exact same thing happened to me today from 'Ashley Madden'. Good thing my spider senses told me to google her name along with 'hearing impaired' and I found these posts.

I got another text from the same lady "Ashley Madden" (not her or his real name) stating the she is interested in one of my puppies.  She forgot that she already tried to do the same thing last week.  This time she texted me from this phone number (562) 666-8061.  I'm going to send her this address: FBI, 1200 N. McColl Rd., McAllen, TX. 78501, so she can send me the check with extra money.

I was about to fall into the same scam, but thanks to reading you all postings, I was able to recuperate the deposited check.  I was scammed by a lady named "Ashley Madden". She sent a UPS envelope with this info: June Baxter, 904 Lincoln Parkway, Oviedo, FL.  The check was made from Shepard Exposition Services, Inc. P.O. box 798, Philadelphia, Pa 19133, She made the check for $250 more than the sale amount, and while we were waiting for the check to be clear we found out that was a scam. I notified the bank that the check was part of a scam and luckily the bank believed me and returned the check to me.  She texted me from these phones 562-661-6676 and 562-371-8159

I got a message from June Baxter about my puppy. She sent a text too with all the same baloney as the other posters stated...could not get cash, had to send check, I had to pay her agent. I called ALL of the numbers listed for Shepard Expositions listed on the internet and only got voicemails from them and no call backs. The scam is that I would cash her check and immediately send her agent, via moneygram, his fee of $250. So I am then out the $250, the price of the pup and bounced check charges. I wonder how many people actually send her the money? My friend was contacted by Linda so I think they are all the same person. If all these posts are any indication she has a full time job just scamming people!!

I received a few texts from a woman who was supposedly interested in my puppies I had for sale, she texted from 1-562-371-8159, stating that she was interested and would send cash via UPS and then make arrangements to pick up the puppy. I didn't hear anything from her until about 6 days later. She texted from this new number 1-562-661-6352 stating that she was unable to get cash from the ATM but that she had instead issued a check and sent it UPS. I received the check and it was for $810.00 and my puppies were for only $350.00. She told me in the text her name was June Baxter but on the envelope it was from a Diane Shipman and the check was from Shepard Exposition Services P.O. Box 798 Philadelphia PA 19133 and the signature on the check I could not make out but this is a big scam and I will not be cashing this check nor will I be having any more correspondence with this person trying to scam me.

Sending fake checks through the mail is a crime so contact the US Postal Service Inspectors:

Or take it to your local Post Master.

You can also file a report with the FBI:

Linda Bright just sent this check
Thank God I search Linda Bright on the internet.
What do I do

We got a text on one of our puppies from Linda Bright.  Her first texts were from 707-902-8255.  She was going to UPS cash with next day service on Dec 11, 2013.  Each of her texts were spread out.  She also wouldn't provide any information on an address despite repeated requests and claimed that she was going to have an agent pick up the puppy at my house.  I figured it was a scam, but played along.  I was a Crime Prevention Officer for a number of years and have had numerous people in my city hit with this scam.  Gave her my address to see if she was going to do a bait and switch with a check.  My wife called her number, but she didn't answer, but she didn't leave a message.  Liinda Bright texted back later, claiming to be hearing impaired.  On 12/17/2013, she sends a text from 801-980-4759 stating that she could not get cash at a cash machine, so she wrote me a check.  I replied back that the puppy was sold because I did not receive the money as she stated she was going to send.  When I checked my mail on 12/17/2013, a check was sent to me for $350 over the sales amount.  It was written on the account of Shepard Exposition Services Inc out of Philadelphia, PA.  I have sent an inquiry to the company to let them know about the check.

I got a message two days ago from this women. This morning she said she is interested in a pup. Thought it was weird she takes awhile to answer back.

This person says they are interested. Says they'll send cash. For one reason or another they have to send a check. The check is stolen from a company and they send more than is needed. This way you wire the money back to them. If you cash the fake check you will be charged for the fake check. I was called from both of these numbers, she refers to herself as Linda Bright! Careful, don't get scammed!
