all those adds are SCAMS!!  If it's too go to be true than it is not true.  
People fall for these adds every day.  A friend of mine fell to a similar add 
but the people were in Thailand.  If the dog isn't in the USA and from a 
reputable breeder or rescue don't fall for it.  It's not easy to ship dogs into 
the USA. It's not just 280 bucks and they are here.  It costs a lot more than 
that to fly an animal around.  I get so irritated that people buy into these 
stupid scams.  If people would wake up and stop sending money to these cons 
they would go away.  Obviously there are enough easy targets for these kinds of 
scams to succeed.  There are plenty of cats and dogs to go around.....

Sorry these adds get me so mad!  

Trish

ps. this is a rant in general not directed towards anyone.  Just use your head 
and don't become a victim.  

Not all those who wander are lost....
