Fun with Cameroon Pet Scams

Submitted by Adam on August 13, 2007 - 11:20pm.
  • Riding Shotgun with Adam

I really love English Bulldogs.

Recently I became aware of a common pet scam that is based on every other over seas Internet scam.

Someone from Cameroon posts a desired breed up for a ridiculously low price.

He/she asks for money plus shipping. You never get the dog.

Here is my recent correspondence with one such scammer.

I have resorted the posts from oldest to newest so you can enjoy the events as they occurred.

For reference, here are the photos the scammer sent with the email. Keep in mind that these are the actual size photos that were sent!

 thanks

Yes, it was centered like that and no changes were made to spelling or punctuation.

My reply:

Please send me your contact information. I am very very intersted in saving your baby!

Thank you,

I was 99 percent sure it was a scam, but I thought I would give them a chance.

Their reply:

 The formatting was a little better, but everything else was identical.

My reply:

Ya. I saw all that in my sister's email. How many dogs do you have? There were pictures of four different dogs with different markings. Do you have any larger pictures? I assume you are on a short vacation and will be coming back to Denver soon as Christ orphanage is very understaffed judging by the ads I always see on KKDNVR about their need for volunteers. I was wondering if you would be willing to trade it for a Mac p-p-p-powerbook. (I did not include this link in the actual email.)

I will gladly have one of  my friends in Cameroon pick up the dog.

Thank you,

Their reply:

i am sorry fo the ale reply,i went for evening prayers.that is all the pics i have for the puppy,and the pictures you see is the pics of 1puppy,and not different puppies.so how soon are you ready for the puppy?

My reply:


At this point I decide to really start seeing if this person will get irritated at my responces. Please note that I made up the names of breeds as well as the distinctive features of each breed.

ashley,

it is no problem. I am so glad you wrote back. Those pictures are still very small. I used my photoshop custom enlargement filter and the dog has a brown patch over the left eye in some photos but not in others. Does the patch move? Did the patch appear as he got older? You didn't use an bleach or other chemicals to remove the spot did you? The smell of bleach bothers my cats. 

The dog in the picture appears to be a southwithshire breed. Can you tell me if this is the case. If not, it may be a kanarvastshire and those are very valuable. Are you sure you only want $325? Even shouthwithshires are selling for over $3200 by private breeders. kanarvastshires are only licenced to be raised by two breeders. Does the puppy have a pink nose or black, this would really help me in knowing more about which breed it comes from. Either way I am interested, but if it's nose in pink (inside) I will  be especially excited.

Are the pictures actual size? Have you had the puppy vaccinated against elm beetle?

Any answers will be appreciated.

Adam

Their reply:

Hello

    i am just so sorry for emailing you very late,i was at a seminar,and only came back yesterday.the batch appears as she grows older. my baby is a southwithshire breed,and i am sorry you misunderstood me the $325 was for the transportation.her re homing fee is $1950.my darling has a pick nose.she  has been vaccinated against elm,re best and is currently on sorts.she will come along 1yrs health grantee.pls i will like to know how many pets you have at the moments,because my darling is so sociable with other house pets.in fact you will see that magic in her when you get her.

hope to read from you.

My Reply:

At this point I decide to make some of the same mistakes in my post as they make in theirs. Note that they were hoping that the dog would go to a good Christian home and that they work for Christ orphanage, yet she was delayed in a previous post because she was gone for evening prayers. Isn't that strange?

No problem ashley. I am in no hurry. For a shouthwithshire I will gladly take the time to get this right. Will you be coming back to denver any time soon.

I have a few other pets but they are also very sociable.I told my family about the dog and they are  very excited. We think we may take a holiday there and pick up the dog at the same time. Is this a good time of year to visit cameroon?

Thanks,

Alvin (I decided to make a change to my name to see if they would call me on it.

Their reply:

I begin to sense that they are getting a little irritated at my wavering interest in their baby.

ok Alvin if you will come to pick her up here,then that will be very great.this is the rightful time to visit Cameroon,when you want to come do let me know,so that i can help make some reservation for you. i have close to 3months to be here in Cameroon,and the weather it really not good for the pup.so pls the earlier you come the better.

thanks.

My reply:

 This should be my final message to them. At least until they get to Denver with the southwithshire.

Sorry, about that last note. It was written by my friend Alvin. He is always replying to my email. I have three other friends that often respond to my email their names are Simon, Theodore and Dave. You don't have to reply to their messages.

I just realized that Cameroon is in AFRICA! Did you know that? I thought it was in Detroit or  something. That is too far for me to go to pickup the dog. I will wait until you get back to Denver. Let me know when you get here. Please keep your dog in doors I heard that some places in Africa catch stray dogs and put them in baby food. I would hate for you to have to utter the words - "A baby ate my dingo"

I am sure you will find another interested party in Cameroon with air conditioning.

Thank you,

Aaron

scammers on gumtree australia

Submitted by Smart Computer User on September 6, 2008 - 4:28am.

here is a scammer that contacted me regarding a chihuahua. i caught on the minute i received the email. i've noticed that they ALWAYS apologise for the 'late reply' i guess this is because the emails come at odd times, ie. this one came at 3am - because of the time difference i suppose. they advertised as being in sydney and even offered to deliver the puppy to your door however when he emailed he said he has relocated already to tasmania.

here is the correspondance between us below:

"Greetings
I sorry for the late reply. Is because we just left from sidney three days ago. We have
relocated to Tasmania.My bussiness requires alot of travelling
That is why I most rehome Lira.
Inline with this email are some of the photographs of Lira.
This adorableTiny Tcup Chihuahua Male Puppy is vet checked,registered and of good temperament,

This little guy is very social, loves to play (prefers fingers and toes v.s. toys) and I have been working with him several weeks now and he gets out of his bed and does ALL his business on the puppy pad/newspaper.
He is very smart, and is extremely photogenic, he absolutely loves to have his picture made! (such a Ham!) You will fall in love with this little guy before you know it! He is extremely fit for a chihuahua. He is CKC Registered and will come with his registration papers, appropriate wormings, and a Health Record, showing all his wormings/weights/and vaccinations. You see It has been difficult for us handling Lira him out here because of our present job. Moreso my daughter who was the initial caretaker of Lira obtained a schoolarship and travel overseas for studies. This makes it difficult to offer him that full love and care and being Religious persons it will prick our Conscience if we deprive Lira of his happiness. He has not been happy all this while because most of the time he is left alone.It is as a result of this that we have to look for a good and lovely home for Lira were she will be spoiled with love and care.
To adopt him,i will like to know this from you.
Are you a breeder.?

have you had a bull dog puppy before?will you be willing to send us some regular pictures of Lira sowe can see her progress if you have her adopted?will you permit us to pay you a visit when you adopt him ?MoresoWhere are you located ?How soon do you want the puppy? Do you work all days?Do you have kids?When you are gone to work who will take care of my puppyAre you on a permanent income that can help you take good care of mypuppy?Do you have any idea on what food to place the puppy on?Please just want to be sure my puppy is going to a good home because I careso much about its
welfareand i will be glad if you can convince me that you will spoil androtten Lira like a kid. I will be grateful if you are able toprovide me with answers to these questions.Because I Need to see where he is going, i dont mean come visit you regularly but at least make sure that she gets the care andattention that we use to give him.I truly love and want the best for this puppy.Where ever Lira goes im sure he will bringtears and laughter to anyones family.If you have any more question you can get back to me at your you can get back to me at your ownconvinience.RegardsNicholson"
______________________________________________________________
Hi,

You say you have already relocated to Tasmania therefore I will not proceed with this as I am not 100% certain that you are not a scammer. I will also draw your attention to the fact that you ask if I have had a bulldog before when it is a chihuahua you claim to have.
_______________________________________________________________

If gold should rust what will iron do? When salt loses its taste does it become saltless or tasteless? I have you ever felt like going when you are suppose to stay? That is how I just
felt immediately after receiving this your last email. You are really formidable in insulting.
I will be grateful if you can teach me more insults. As for the chihuahua you donot need to
bother yourself as I also have some families out here in Tasmania who are really willing to
adopt Lira but they are mostly breeders that is why I most look for a different family that is ready to provide me correct answers to the questions i have.
Anywhere thanks for your interest and goodluck in your search to adopt a chihuahua.

Kijiji reply to my add : wanted american mastiff breeders

Submitted by Smart Computer User on September 5, 2008 - 8:52am.

I have been scammed into believing i was going to receive a dog which breed costs more then 1500 dollars for free, only catch i was to pay for shipping cost. I am so glad i thought this was too good to be true, but how many ppl have actually paid and recieved no dog. I am still being contacted and "stringing "this person along in hopes to recieve an address or name or phone number or something i can use to help track the original scammers. it is sad in our world that an unsuspecting citizen just in search for a family pet can be scammed out of money. Western union should be notified of this scam aswell , as it seems this is the method they use to pick up there money. goodluck and hopefully ppl think to google before they loose there money.

Re: Male And Female Teacup Yorkie Puppies For Adoption

Submitted by Smart Computer User on September 3, 2008 - 5:53am.

I mailed divilo4real@yahoo.com before knowing any of this, got replies, just for more information i googled his is, and voi·là , got to know a lot about him, just for more info, here's the mail i got from person from Cameroun (thats what he had written in his mail), i wondered how he spelled his own area wrongly.

Hello,
Thanks for the mail and interest in my Yorkie
puppies. well they are still available to good homes.
all i wanted is to give them the best home they ever deserve.
well i know it might sound strange for someone to
offer a dog just like that but i want you to know that
i am being serious. i know there must be an
explanation.

Well the reasons why i am giving these puppies
out is because i am in "Limbe" which is
located in Southern Cameroun , well i just came here 5
weeks ago and i came along with my little pups. well i
came here to work as an engineer at the MTN mobile
phone network in Cameroun and i hardly have time to
spend with this dogs and i feel bad to allow them all
alone . so i hope you understand what i am trying to
point out because if you were in my place, you would
have done the same thing. well i will need to know
where you are located? well below is some detailed
Temperament of my puppies.
they are good companion dogs. Courageous,
extremely lively, proud and enterprising, they gives
and demands affection. Bold and saucy, they moves
swiftly to avoid being stepped on. they are
strong-willed, intensely loyal and become very
attached to their owners, even to the point of
jealousy. they are undeniably suspicious of people except for their owner.
When strangers are present, theu follows the owner's
every move, keeping as close as possible. .

they are intelligent, learn quickly, and
respond well to proper, gentle (positive
reinforcement) training. they can be noisy and may
require patience to housebreak. Be sure to socialize your
them as a pup to avoid excessive aggressiveness with
other dogs as well as reserve with strangers. they are
well-socialized with strangers and other dogs.
well the male weighs 1.8lbs(8 weeks old) and the female weighs 1.9ibs and their parents
weigh 4.8lbs to 4.2lbs respectively.
Well i will need to know if there is any thing
you will need to know about them and if there is
, please do feel free to ask ok. .I would like to ask you some few questions if you do not mind.
1...Are you a breeder??
2...have you been keeping pets??
3...Do you have kids at home?
4...Are you going to keep her or give her to someone?
5...How soon will you want to take puppy?
6 ....Where are you located??
7....Do you need two or one??
8....male or female sex???
Awaiting your kind response.
Get some picture's below

Second Mail,

you to know some thing that taking these my puppies first thing you have to do
is to trust me and i trust you ok so if we don't trust each other ok so i
will like to know if you do trust me first before taking my puppies because for
me i do trust that you will take very good care of my puppies so as you have
promise to take very good care of my puppies i will give you this puppies for
free that means no adoption papers but for you as the next person to take very
good care of them you have to show some responsibility that is you will have
just to pay for their shipping fee just to to prove and convince me that my
puppies are going to a caring and lovely home ok so please don't say that i
don't trust you i do but you know that i cant just give out the puppies just
like that ok so if you can do just that then you can have the puppies and i will
be shipping the puppies from Cameroon to your location which will take just 6-7 hours to reach you ok and the shipping fee for one puppy is $110 and if you will like to take both of the puppies then you will have to pay $220 for both ok so for your responsibility as
their new gaiudian you will have to pay that money so that i can \take the
puppies to the airport and book for their flight ticket to your location as soon
as possible so if you really need and love this puppies the first thing is to
trust me and the second is to provide money for their flight ticket and that all
i will need from you ok and please you will have to send the money only via
WESTERN UNION ok because it the fastest and legalize way in were i am located ok
all the other way of sending money is not acceptable in my location ok so if you
can provide all i have ask then i will like to have your shipping informations
so that as soon as you send the money to me i will just take the puppies to the
airport and bok for their
flight ticket to your location and i will like to know if you will like the

Another email: Same scam

Greetings There,
Thanks for the mail and interest in the puppies. I am sorry for the late response,we were busy trying to get some stuffs for our new home. First of all here are a few pics of them,hope you like them too? . They are 8 weeks old and their names are Manu and Flavy. Manu and Flavy are our darling angels. We love them so much but its unfortunate that we cant even give them the love and affection we have in our hearts. We came on a volunteer mission to Cameroon together with the UN malaria committee ,in regards to the disease in pregnant women and children. We traveled up here together with my daughter and Manu and Flavy. They wont allow the puppies into the country for reason being that, pets are not allowed into the country from other countries and i have been given a maximum of ten days to send them back to the states. So that is the reason i have to find for them a home back in the states where they will be showered with all that love and affection. Hope you wont mind if i ask you a few questions:

Do you have kids that love puppies?
Have you had any experience with puppies before?
Are you a breeder or will you breed them in the future if i let you have them?
Will you send us updates about them and pictures from time to time?

I am just being concerned about the type of home they will be going to ,so that's why i am curious to know. We love them so much and we want to make sure they go to a family that will shower them with all the love and affection they deserve. They are health guaranteed,both AKC and CKC registered and will come along with all their papers,diapers,puppy blanket,play toys, crate and food menu. They are of perfect bloodlines and will weigh not more than 4.5 ibs fully grown.They are very playful and goes along with kids and other home pets. Manu loves to be held and cuddled and sometimes wants all the attention for himself. They were shipped here in their own new crate that i bought for the trip up here. So if you can stand the chance of taking them home, you will only need to renew their flight ticket which will cost $120. But i am sorry i first of all need to know the answers to my questions before i will know if we can proceed with the re-shipping arrangements.Below are a few collection pics of our babies. Hope you like them too.Waiting to read from you soon.Greetings.

My last reply:

DO NOT CONTACT ME AGAIN WITH YOUR SCAM. I HAVE READ OVER 50 EMAILS FROM PEOPLE YOU HAVE SCAMMED. MY HEART IS BROKEN I HATE PEOPLE LIKE YOU. LOSE MY INFORMATION OR I WILL REPORT YOU AND I HAVE ALOT OF YOUR INFORMATION AND YOUR PHONE # AND I WILL GO TO THE AUTHORITIES!

New Scammer!!!

Submitted by Smart Computer User on August 29, 2008 - 3:50pm.

Hello,

I just got myself out of a scam. Unfortunately, the scammer got $50 out of me, but that was it!
The scammer used this email:
roxxane_little@yahoo.com
And after reading the above messages, it was the same thing. The $50 was for the so-called paperwork and right after I sent in the money through Western Union to a friend, because "Roxanne" was going to be too busy preparing the dog for departure, I sent it to a Fru Carlson Asaah. After that the so-called Douala Airport International stating that I needed a special thermal crate for the puppy. Of course this was an additional $280-$470, $470 being the best option! This almost went through, but the fishy thing was that the fee had to be sent through Western Union as well and to a specific person by the name of Rabiu Mohammed. Interesting, right? Don't fall for this, I'm just glad I realized this soon enough.

One more thing.. the scammer had the nerve to call me with a (237) 751-03054.. just a heads up!

Submitted by Smart Computer User on August 26, 2008 - 1:36am.

I too was looking for searching for a Yorkie and found them at $150. Such a deal so I sent a email to see if it was true. According to all of the emails I have been reading about being scamed it sounds similiar to this one only they are changing them. One thing to notice is the broken English or sentence they apparently cannot write or speak american English so that should be a clue to us, that and the price.

Submitted by Smart Computer User on August 18, 2008 - 4:34pm.

Well ive been talking to this lady also. Her name was Angela Penalda.

Email - angela_penalda@yahoo.com

I really believed her, until my mother told me to watch out for scams. I was looking for a Shar Pei Dog. She said she was giving hers away for adoption. Free of no charge. She lived in Cameroon, and i didnt know where that was until i saw this site. Africia woah. Anwways she was being so generous and kind and caring. But she just said. ' When will you people have my money' It just sounded like some dude was like HEY , you , you in the blakc shirt listen here. Like it was soem man who just wanted my money. Anyways. I told my boyfriend and she agreed it sounded supicious. I google the place she worked at. New Lakes Christ Orphanage. Yeah, this site was the first to appear. I was furious and mad. But reading the email you sent her, just fooling around, made me wanna do that. But i am ready to write a complant letter with vicious words. Thanks so much for this site. And i also feel insipired to let people know.

Babies for adoption in Cameroon

Submitted by Smart Computer User on August 16, 2008 - 1:08pm.

I live in the US & talked to a woman from Craigslist who had a baby boy "Jerry" for adoption. Elizabeth emailed me this sad sob story telling me all about her live in Cameroon & how she was from Ireland & when she became pregnant her family disowned her & this "Parish" had her son. I thought it was for real so I emailed her several times a day. I also spoke with the parish & even gave him my cell phone number. He called me every day telling me information about the baby & wanted me to wire him $3000 for the baby & another $1000 once Jerry arrived here in the US. I decided to email a lawyer in Cameroon to be sure this wasn't a scam & he emailed me a day or so later & said it was a scam. He said the address for the "Parish" wasn't a real address or street & the phone number for him wasn't a working number. It was for outgoing calls only. I emailed them both 2 weeks ago & they haven't emailed me back since. I decided this past week to begin my search on Craigs List. I searched all 50 states & each city for each state. I also searched all of Canada & 10 other countries. I found around 25 to 30 women on there stating they have a baby for adoption. I emailed each & every one of them & they all email you back with the same sob story about how they are now stranded in Cameroon & all of the babies daddy's have died in some way or another. One girl even emailed me pictures of a baby doll claiming it was her friends child that they wanted me to adopt but it had HIV AIDS. I have contacted the fraud department as well as craigslist. I can not get anyone from either to contact me back. I have also contacted the local police department here in the US where I live. I have filed out a police report. If I have to I will email each & every news channel in each state & country as well as 20/20 & Date Line. Something needs to be done about this. Some poor innocent person is going to end up sending them money for a child & never get a child. And trust me it will happen because I almost did. Thank goodness I emailed this lawyer instead. If anyone knows how to help me please email me A.S.A.P. Thank you,

Thanks for your smart as* reply. I hope you never get old and your eyes, brain,and fingers do not seem to work sometimes, !!

If this site had a "spell checker" on it I would have used it. Most sites that one replies to do not have one ( to the best my 78 year old brain can recall ) !

I can't believe all the so called smart people fell for the crappy scam !!

I wonder how many other similar sites to Rick'e have had many many email from " STUPID " people who fell for it !!

By the way did you fall for it ??????

Spell Check your comments

IF you followed Rick's advice and used Mozilla Firefox, you WOULD have spell checking anywhere on the web...even in these comments. I am not an ageist and my wrath towards poor spellers knows no bounds.
