		<description>I received an email back to day  this is what it said!  I was so excited to think I was going to be able to get my daughter a puppy, thank god I came accross this page

Thanks for the mail and your interest toward our puppies. They are
still available for  adoption to any family prepare to provide them
with enough care and love, were they will be well spoiled with love
and care and also provide them with all their needs and also be the
light of the family . We have two puppies , Nelly (male) and Kelly   (
Female ) and we presently located in st Helena  city of Cameroon  and
is going to cost you just for for the transportation of the puppies
and.Both of them are 12 weeks old . They are pure breed babies ,
registered, vet check, updated in all shots.  Well-tamed and potty
trained, good associate of kids and other house hold pets also very
Energetic an eager to learn. They are intelligent, independent and
courageous. Quick to determine where they fits in a household&#039;s
&quot;pack.&quot;Good companionship and friendly towards new people.My reason
for giving them out on adoption is because i will soon be relocating
into a new apartment were pets are not allowed so i am forced to give
them out.Also i am some how to bu
with my job so i have little or no time to care for the puppies which
really hurts me so all i am in search for them is a home willing to
show them that Quality love and care and also treat them like the
Prince and Princess they have always been.All i need for the puppies
are homes willing to provide them with that the love care and concern
they can ever get.I really would love both puppies to go into the same
home because they are already used to each other but if you prefer
one. To begin I will start by asking you some questions and please
don&#039;t feel bad wt the questions O.K am only trying to make sure the
puppies get  into a good home.

1. Do you intend breeding? Or are you a pet lover?
2. Where precisely are you located?
3. How many puppies do you want? Male or female?
4. Do you promise to take care of the puppies?
5. Do you have enough time to spend with them?
6. How soon do you want them?
7. Do you have a contact  cell phone number?
8)Do you mind if we deliver the puppy to your home address ?

And I will also love to know how the new home of my puppies will look
like so more information and if possible pictures of your home will be
highly appreciated .Sorry for all this Questions but just that i
really need a very loving home for these puppies ...lol
And I will be very happy if you can get  back to us with all the
Answers to the Questions.
Below are some photos of  Kelly  and Nelly just take a look of
them and let me know if they are  lovely O.K and please i will like to
have your cell # so that i can call you
Once again i really want to appreciate your inquiry toward  the
puppies  and waiting to read from you asap.........</description>

Her location on Oodle MarketPlace was in Pa, and then she gave the I&#039;m a God Fairing Woman in Cameroon. I then knew that was a scam. I was also scammed by Jennifer Kims, and Ella Saad.</description>

		<description>I found an add for a female Daschund on http://www.pennysaverusa.com/classifieds/merchandise/animal-services/usa/arizona/maricopa/phoenix/85001/potty-trained-dachshund-puppies-52594328.html I emailed the person through the site and here is the list that has been going on back and forth since.

Me
Do you still have any female puppies? If so, how much are they?

Them
Hi 
It is with great pleasure that I am writing to you and I am very happy that you are interested in the adoption of my puppies. I am part of the congregation invited to attend the 3rd Water Cycle Symposium. This is the Third Global Earth Observation System of Systems(GEOSS), hosted by the The Republic of Gabon in Libreville. By the Grace of God, I will be staying in Yaounde to make sure the projects laid down here in this area are well carried out after the conference. But due to the nature of the work, I will not have the time to take care of my babies, since the work takes all of our time. I am willing to give them to anyone who is willing to spoil them with all the love, care and attention I can not offer them. I want a family that is ready to welcome them and treat them well because I don&#039;t want my puppies to be used for other purposes. So please if you think yourself, your family and home is the best for these precious babies, just get back to me with some few details about your home and family so that we can start the necessary procedures for you getting them. Thanks and you can text me through +23798761167 or call the same number, okay. If the call does not go through, it is because you have not filled your phone with a an international calling card. So, you will need to buy an international calling card before you will be able to go through my number. If you cannot get one then then just write me through my email.

Me
Alright. Just some basic info of our home. The reason for getting the puppies is they are for my daughter and little sister, so the puppies would still be together daily. I am a stay at home mom while my husband works and the households that they are going into have another dog each. They grew up together and need another companion to share their open space with. We have young children who come over to the house often to play with the dogs (niece and nephews) as well as older siblings. They will both be spoiled rotten beyond all reason by all of the families since the last time there was a new puppy was 3 years ago (my male pure-bred doxie). If you think this is a suitable environment for them I&#039;ll send you the address for shipping.

Them

Thanks for telling me about yourself, your family and home, and I know you will take good care of my puppies and give them all the love they need. You are the perfect family I want them to be with, I still care a lot for them and I want the best for them, and I hope you understand that. They are both male and female and are 14 weeks old. Karl is the male, he is very adorable, and loves to greet you at the door when he hears you coming or opening the door. Carlyn is the female, she is relaxed and loves to sit on your laps when you read or watch TV. They are both AKC registered and are up to date on their shots. They will be coming with their delivery crate which you can keep since I have no use of it, also included with their toys, blankets is a one week food sample so that you will be able to know what and when they feed before you start think of buying them any food. I am giving them out to you because I want you to keep enough money until they arrive so that you can care and feed them. I have already reserved them for you and I will make sure that they are been shipped as soon as you provide me with your shipping information under which i will have to book their flight so that you can receive them either in your house or pick them up from the airport if you prefer to pick them up from the airport.

(They have now restated what the puppies are like)

Me
(I sent them my parent&#039;s shipping info)

Them

 Hi, I got the information but I still need your phone number for the airport to call and inform you when they would be coming with the puppies. Get back to me with your phone number. Thanks and waiting...

Me
(Gave my cell number)

Them
Okay, I got the information, I will take the puppies to the airport to make the arrangements. It will take about an hour for for me to reach there, I will let you know when I am through. I just want you to promise me that you will take good care of the puppies once you receive them. Thanks once again..

(I now receive calls about the wellness of said pups and how I will get another call in a few minutes regarding their final check up. After said time has pass this company Bafut Air and Transportation Services says that the kennel they were in does not meet code and the need $153 for a temperature controlled crate. I then email this person back seeing if they can take care of it since it was a problem on their end. I had just started to suspect it was a scam.)

Me
There was a mix up with the crates, I received a call saying they were not able to pass inspection and required temperature controlled crates. I will try giving you a call so we can work this situation out. Thank You.

Them
Hi, I received a call from the airport about the issue of the crate which they need a deposit which is refundable to you when they deliver the puppies. Just let me know as soon as everything is okay for their flight to take off. Thanks and waiting..

Me
(Knowing now that this is a scam)
I do not have the $153 needed for the crate and was under the impression that all of these things would be taken care of. I would like to give the puppies a good home, but as you said before I do need to save the money for when they get here. If you cannot rent the crate, which is refundable, then I cannot take them. I am sorry.

Them
I wish I could make the deposit but right now I am short of money since I paid for the flight of the puppies. If I had the money I would have paid.

Me
I am sorry then. I hope you can find them a better home.

Them
How can you say that when I have already paid for the flight and register them in your names. What am I going to do now. I thought you wanted the puppies and now you are saying I should give them another home when you promise me you will take good care of them. Is is because of the deposit that you are telling me this? I don&#039;t understand how you can say that.

Me
I know this is a scam. The pet service where you were having them fly out is not a legit one and has already been listed on Western Union&#039;s scam watchlist. I am sorry you are out this money but I refuse to fall victim to their greed. Again I am deeply sorry and I will pray for you.

Them
How did you know that, I checked the airport before taking the puppies to them, through their website.

Me
When they called me it sounded legit until they sent me an email from their so called site. It was riddled with errors and when I tried to click on their Discover card link to pay it sent me to a site not authorized by Discover. They then tried to have me wire them money and when I double checked through Western Union&#039;s site there is a list of names based from Cameroon. It was on that list as well as the fact that the pet service that emailed me has no website what so ever.

P.S. If you really do have these puppies and want to find them a good home then send me your info so I can personally send my friend to come pick them up otherwise if you are part of the scam I pray that god have mercy on you when judgement day arrives.

The airport agency called me again reporting that they are a legit company but are now asking for a holding fee. It wasn&#039;t until after I emailed the person saying I knew it was a real company that they started to call me. Please don&#039;t be scammed by them

		<description>For those of you getting these follow up comments...I just thought I would add that some of the scammers are coming here and cussing out people who tried to &quot;steal&quot; expensive dogs for little money.  So I wanted to address this so they can read.  I can&#039;t think of one person in the world that wouldn&#039;t want to save money on something they want to buy so trying to make someone feel bad about looking for a better price is not going to work.  You know that people look for better prices because you use them in your scams along with nice pictures taken.  You also know that using religion and pleading for help from people also makes people ---GOOD PEOPLE-- fall for your evil.  There is nothing you can post here that will make people feel sorry for you.  You can rant and rave but you know that in the end you will be judged.  People are not thieves that try to help someone or looking for a better price for a pet.  People everywhere are suffering from the economy and not just you.  What makes them different from you, the scammer, is they are not stealing people&#039;s money using religion, God, and pretending to be in need of help.  You will get it all back in many ways before you leave this earth and then again after.  Think of this before you take advantage of one more soul and ask yourself &quot;was it worth it?&quot;  Money comes and goes but deeds stay with you forever</description>
