well, that's exactly what I thought when I first saw this message in answer to my ad on a UK gun-site!
Unfortunately I had just - a couple of days before - lost my last dog of 10 1/2 years (an English Springer Spaniel) - so I was not quite compos mentis! but I seem to have been lucid enough to see the scam!
(if anyone would like to see pictures of my old friend 'Charles' - only ask, I will be only too pleased to share a pic or two of my old friend who is no longer here - many a tear has been shed in the last few weeks!)

Best regards
