They said: \u201cNow I understand we were silly to pay the deposit if we hoped to get it back (though she said that was fine), and as I said at the start, I&#8217;m certain they&#8217;re no scammer, I think they&#8217;re probably just hoping we&#8217;ll give up.\u201d<br><strong>Checkaco Comment:&nbsp;<\/strong>underneath the article someone had written: \u201cHere\u2019s a picture of some puppies \u2013 now send me a \u00a3100.\u201d Essentially that\u2019s what has happened.
