Ok. Buckle your seatbelts.

Chef,

I am trying to sell a good used car, if you're interested. We are looking for a local buyer, but are willing to make an exception in your case. I'll throw in a pomeranian if that will seal the deal.

 

If you have $5k I have a dog for you.

I'm also a Nigerian Prince ... You can totally trust me. My dogs don't have parvo.

 

I wouldn't say that took balls. It took balls to keep going back to you and getting you to pay $1,450 for a $300 dog that may or may not have even existed.

This was just them getting greedy.

 

I think it would be almost worth SJ.com pitching in the $1,000 just to see what the next money grab would be.

 

Dude, call the authorities. This is criminal. Dont start paying a lawyer until you get these fucks arrested.

 

Elements of Wire Fraud

Wire fraud is very similar to regular fraud, except that it takes place over phone lines or involves electronic communications. The legal definition of wire fraud has four elements:

• The defendant created or participated in a scheme to defraud another out of money;
• The defendant did so with intent to defraud;
• It was reasonably foreseeable that the defendant would use wire communications; and
• The defendant did in fact use interstate wire communications.

For the purposes of wire fraud, “interstate wire communications” could mean telephone calls, electronic communication such as fax machines or the Internet, or even television.

I didn't know people bought mail-order dogs anymore. ... Ever, actually.

There are some nice-looking Russian brides on the market, though. Asians, too!

 

We got ours that way. He's an asshole, but he definitely exists.

 

I remember my wife talking about her father buying a purebred hunting dog from a breeder about 4 states away and the family driving 18 hours or something each way to go pick up the dog.

What a fool my father-in-law was. He could have just wired the guy a bunch of money and saved the trip. And probably the dog.

 

You bought a Russian or Asian bride, and he's an asshole?
