Beware of the English Bulldog Puppy Scam

I have seen the lottery scams, work at home scams and several other scams, many of whom have landed in my email, usually in the junk mail thank goodness, but this one was new to me. It began with an email to my inbox, but was from someone I did not know. The subject simply stated Bulldog for Adoption and it had gotten passed by email junk filters. I opened the email and this is what I found:

MY NAME IS PASTOR WALLANCE CHARLES, I AND MY WIFE ARE ON A CHRISTIAN MISSIONARY TO WEST AFRICA AND I CAME ALONG WITH MY 2 ENGLISH BULLDOG BABIES, AFTER A WHILE I NOTIVE THAT THE AFRICA WEATHER HERE IS NOT GOOD FOR THE GORGEOUS BABIES AND I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO TAKE GOOD CARE OF THEM THE WAY I ALWYAS DO BEFORE, BECAUSE OF MY JOB, I NEED SOMEONE WITH A GOOD HEART TO ADOPT THEM AND TAKE GOOD CARE OF THEM THE WAY I ALWAYS DO, IF YOU CAN TAKE GOOD CARE OF THEM DO SEND A REPLY AND I WILL E-MAILYOU THEIR RECENT PICTURES.
CONTACT ME FOR MORE INFORMATION: pastor.wallancecharles@yahoo.com
I HOPE TO READ FROM YOU
REGARDS
WALLANCE

Ok, I immediately begin to think this is a scam, so I search the internet for this man's name and find nothing. Then I searched for this man's name plus English bulldog scam and find nothing. So, with some doubt, I send him an email back:

First of all, how did you get my email address? If this is not some scam and you can prove it, I would be interested in helping you out, provided it does not cost a lot of money.

Now I have made contact with this supposed missionary, and am offering to help him out, but all the time knowing full well that this is more than likely another scam. In a few days I get a reply to my initial email:

Thanks for the mail and Sorry for the late response, I you can see that i`m a Man of God, I was busy althrough having special prayer with my new church member and motherless babies. I got your e-mail from a mail list in google and straight i sight your e-mail the lord revealed to me that you are their new parent. I will want you to get back to me as soon as you receive this message and some kind of prove that you will take good care of my babies whenever they get delivered to your lovely home.

Get back to me asap to enable me to forward your their present pictures.
