Approved homes wanted for
bulldog puppies and parents

Hi,
I am looking to place a litter of five adorable bulldog puppies and also the parents. They belong to my late mother-in-law who I was really close to and she passed away unexpectedly. These puppies are so cute with correct conformation and excellent dispositions and with shots and worming up to date.

They do the funniest things. You just can't get enough of their playful antics. And they are growing so fast, contact me immediately if you are interested in them. Have a nice day. - Dorothy.

This letter unfortunately turned out to be a scam. There are no puppies and all that is wanted is your purchase money - beware! - Ed
