Fun with Cameroon Pet Scams

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!

Original post that my sister saw on Craigslist in Denver:

Hello Thanks for the mail,i work for a Christ orphanage care center at Denver,but presently i am in New lakes Cameroon. i have come to discover that the weather/climate,is not good for my baby.she finds much difficulties in adapting,and due to the nature of my work,i find much difficulties in taking care of her,so i want to send her back to the States/Canada to any caring family/ pet lover or a Christian home.i hope that you will take great care of her ok? i will not refuse anyone from getting my baby, all i need for her is love and care and if you will accept in sending me update pictures of her every month.She is just 13weeks old so gentle to kids, a very good companion at home, she is good with other house pets.she is vet checked,AKC registered and up to date on all her sorts.She will run and play like a 3year old kids.She has very good temperament with kids and other pets at home she will make a very fine house pet.This little girl loves to run and play, Likes to stop and smell flowers.. She comes along with a 1-year health guarantee She comes along all her playing toys, including her menu booklet,and video CDs, which shows what she likes and dislikes.her asking price is $350.i will like to know how soon you will be ready for the puppy.her pictures are attached to this mail 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:

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.

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

  1. I put a wanted add on kijiji and got two replys at seperate times. I wanted a German Shepherd puppy for my farm I recieved the first reply in the morning and actually went through with it and sent them the money and everything. Now I am dogless and just now seen this website to know I was just scammed. The second lady was the christian lady and I told her I’m onto her games.

  2. Those people are shameless. They even reply to me after I called them SCAMMER!In their replies, they pretended very innocent and told me that they were not scammer, they just wanted to let their pets live in a nice home. I am getting furious with those ppl!!

  3. hey thanks for this post. I recently posted an ad that i was looking for a chihuahua puppy and i got an email from these people. at first they seemed really legit and i didnt pay much attention to the fact that it was from cameroon. i kept asking the lady how big the dog will be at maturity and she never answered. she just answered the question saying how sweet the puppy is and when to send the money. Im glad i read this blog before i sent any money. Thanks for having it up! Be aware of any people claiming to have puppies. they WILL tell you they are from cameroon. BE AWARE!!

  4. me too have informed british police, fraud squad,cameroom high commission..feel quite stupid now but i was always taught do as to others as you wish to be done by.seems it does not apply to these thieves,much good may it do them.meanwhile my daughter is distraught because she won’t get her puppy from scotland.and i am £396 down and still have to find a teeny tiny puppy

  5. OHHHHHHHHHHHH MYYYYYYYYYYYY GODDDDDDDDDD i just sent $150 to cameroon for a english bulldogg :(… is this a scam???? his name is ABAM FETUS and has 2 english bulldogs… he says his wife and kid were killed in a car accident andd there is noone to take care of the dogs… he was recently living in CALI but moved to cameroon on a business trip…. is this a scam… i hope not i want a english bully so bad…

  6. I ALMOST GOT SCAM! Okay so basically I had someone MSG me by email saying they have the PERFECT free puppy for me, all I had to do was pay for shipping in CAmeroon adn all that kind of stuff, But I researched and all of t was fake, SO I told them to screw off and they threat to take me to court, how hilarious. They pressure you to send money and act like we dont know, fuckeeers! I swear.

  7. Here is the one I encountered… it was in response to an ad I posted for a Female Shepherd Puppy I wanted. Her name is Daisy, they are “missionaries” in Cameroon and wanted $90:

    http://cosprings.craigslist.org/pet/1118369827.html

    I posted ALL our e-mails, my replies and the links to prove this was a scam… to warn people about this person and others like it… I ALMOST fell for it…

    The airlines the provided me with didn’t even exist T_T

  8. We are happy to read from you again.We have Billy`s pictures attached to this mail.All we will need is the change of ownership papers and so we can book a flight for Billy. The certificate for the change of ownership is a legal document that certifies that the puppy have been transferred to your ownership and care.The change of ownership papers will cost $99 I will be shipping Billy from the Madrid international airport.If you are ready we can have
    the papers done today and so we have him ship to you by evening or tomorrow morning depending on when the papers will be signed at the ministry of Livestock and Animals Transportation.

    We will require the following information and so we can fill on the transfer of ownership papers:

    -your full names
    -Home address
    -The names of the closest Airport to your Home
    -Your phone number

    We will use the Delta Cargo because they are very efficient in pets transportation and they always insure pets before shipping .Delta also offers home delivery services but you will have to pay an extra $50 if you will want the puppy to be delivered to your door steps.They also have well trained vet specialist that will take proper care of pets during flight.As soon as you are ready to wire the money let me know and so we can have things started .You can call me using my universal satellite cell phone number 01123794679537 We hope to read from you.Have a
    nice day.GOD BLESS YOU.
    Thanks

  9. I got scammed from a Kelly holmes
    kelly.holmes93@yahoo.com
    I paid 280 dollars shipping and then after I sent it they want 500 because the Parrot is not insured and stuck in Qatar airport
    and the reason they are sending money through cameroon because the agency in uae is being audited

    Hello
    thanks for the email
    We are delighted to confirm that we still have her and that we are carefully looking for a loving home for her.She is called Linda and she is 13 Months old and purebred
    She will make a great family companion as she is an excellent talker with a large vocabulary and she uses words and phrases appropriately.
    She knows our names and all of the names of our other pet birds and calls us correctly. She is bilingual, using both English and Spanish. she says “Buenos Dias” (good day in Spanish) when she first sees someone in the morning and says “Hola” (hello in
    Spanish) in the afternoon.
    At lunch time or if she sees one preparing food or eating, she asks if we want to eat in Spanish, “Quieras de comer?”. She sings with a wonderful vibrato (her favorite song is “Con
    Los A nos Que Me Quedan” by Gloria Esteban)
    I have a few questions for you
    Where are you located?
    Have you ever had pets before?
    Are you married and have you got kids?
    Are you God fearing?
    What kind of accommodation can you provide for the parrot?
    Are you going to use the parrot for breeding or some kind of game?
    What is your experience with Birds?
    and sincerely
    Can you assure me that you will take her on her routine checks?
    I am so sorry for asking all these questions but We have noticed that some people excitingly buy pets but cannot care for them. As such we are reluctant to exchanging our baby for money but will prefer to offer her for free into loving homes who will accept the following conditions.
    If you will accept to permit us visit the parrot from time to time while with you, just to ensure and see that you are spoiling her rotten with love.
    Secondly if you are far from us, then you must agree with us to send
    us her pictures regularly as she grow up in your home,as well as related information on her well being and development.
    If you accept these conditions with your hand on your heart, then you
    are free to contact us again to let us know where precisely you are
    located so that we can arrange for you to have the parrot.
    Waiting to hear from you
    kindest regards

    she supposedly says she wants to give him up becasue she recently got married and her husband has allergies and when I tell her I wanna speak 2 u she says shes deaf , do how do u know what he says if ur deaf she says Ill give u my husbands number its international satalite phone

      ANN- THIS IS THE SCAMMER, THE STORY STARTS DOWN HERE AND GOES UP (SORRY ABOUT THAT)

    2. I decided to purchase a teacup for my upcoming birthday so I went online to see what the cost was to buy one when I came upon an ad that said: Beautiful yorkie for adoption, only $170.00. Well, I jumped at the opportunity for a great deal. I left a message in the contact form provided. Then I saw another ad with similar criteria and sent a message in that contact form. I received this first response from the first form I filled out:

      From elton.sandra@gmail.com:

      again now because they drive me to think of my daughters dead that is

      God,I am a Rev Pastor with the Winners Chapel in Cameroon and will be

      regards. you can give a call at +6078214254 and when you call please
      do ask for Rev.Victor. i wait for your responds.

      As you may well think I became suspicious so I wrote back asking if they had the pups listed under any other name and the Elton person wrote back saying that it must have been her son who listed them on another site. So, I decided to have some fun with them.

      I wrote:
      This is my problem with your ad. It is highly unlikely that two people with different yorkies, will have the exact same story about her daughter dying.
      If your daughter really is dead, please have my humblest condolences. But if this is a scam, this is an awefull thing to do.

      I then forwarded the Linda Cruz email to the Elton person and said who is this?

      She said she did not know this person, but if I still wanted the pups let her know. When I wrote back that I am no longer interested in her dogs, guess what? She (or whomever it was) wrote back simply “fuck you”

      Oh well, I guess you didnt get the chance to do that to me I thought!!

      Please beware people, because I think I’m pretty intelligent and almost fell for it. They may have gotten me if they hadnt messed up by sending the second email from a different address!

    1. my husband and were just scammed by the same person over the weekend asking the very same questions and for the same breed. i was interested two weeks ago and that is how the process was. the sender supposedly in michigan( add was on kiji. said it was in atlanta. It was the same story about the puppy 12 weeks old.

      1. oh.my.god.
        i just got the EXACT same email, it was about adopting maltese puppies.
        im glad i found this website and didnt give her the money.
        this digusts me.
        i guess i got excited for nothing -_-

  11. My husband and were just scammed by the same guy over te weekend $620 with an add on kiji for a free Maltese. the shipping fee was$120, the same plot as the bulldog story. this guy is a pro. con artist and preys on people minds, also. he said it was stuck in the erie airport(where i told the sender we were from) and we had to pay $1000.00 insurrance fee then this “maryjen, the sender, said she would pay half. We are thoroughly upset and angry. i found the same add on kiji today and there is no way to let people know about that add through kiji. so be aware. the email he used was maryjen51@yahoo.com Posed as a woman in Michigan(spelled Mechegan) as the sender. the add is based in atlanta as it was when we first were interested. ended up wiring money to him in cameroon he was saying he was the pet shipping agency. he even gave me the phone number:01-123-797-716-045 and converesed back and forth about the money. which the number is no longer in sevice as of this morning.(may 3, 2009) this happened to us about 14 hrs. ago and he posted the maltese add the same time after he got our money. he used an address as: Monong polinus N
    City: douala
    address:12ave,akwa
    cameroon
    00237
    then another address:
    same name
    douala
    cameroon
    bonibera

      her response
      i will not be by then,i will be traveling.

      my response
      what about this saturday

      her response
      i will be traveling to London on Thursday,last flight

      i just can’t believe how evil people can be.

      1. this is exactly the same story i got when it was a maltese!
        the same death story and piano classes. i also can’t believe this person is doing this!

        1. I live in England and had nearly the same email as this concerning a beagle puppy! I was told that he had 2 puppys, rocky and rose, which were his daughters but she was killed in a hit and run 2 weeks ago and everytime he looks at them, they remind him of his daughter! I was asking questions and never said a definate yes, yet he was really pushing for my details so he could ‘send rose first thing in the morning’ I was askin what company he was going to use to send ‘rose’ and can i have some more pics? When i looked at the pics again i did think it was strange that it didnt look anything like the puppy in the add i saw online (which was mysteriously taken off all of a sudden) I then noticed the pics had a website on the bottom? When i checked it out i realised he had taken the pics off an american website and was trying to pass them off as his ‘daughters dog’ which currenltly lived in Aberdeen, scotland! When i emailed again asking if he was 100^% sure that was the picture of the dog i would be receiving he replied with a quick ‘yes thats rose!’ followed by more pushing for my address?! I then googled the number he had given me in the email and found he had adverts all over the place, under different names, advertising different dogs! What sort of sick person fakes a dead daughter just for a bit of money?! I suspect he is still putting adds on the site i previously found him on, but as he keeps changing names and email addresses I cannot prove it is him! These people are sick and twisted and need to be stopped!!!

      2. omg i had that same person contact me with the same story only she had to yorkies a
        i had a posting on two or three different sites looking for small breed , and she responded , right now im like totally upset and very hurt and out of 78, dollars because these people that go by (marebel forever-baby @yahoo.com said she had a yorkie her husband even called mine we sent it to the airport and now no yorkie the dogs name is diamond be careful

      3. I litterally just got that same e-mail from that exact same person only it was a little different:

        Hi,
        Thanks for your mail regarding my puppy….she is still available to anyone prepared to provide her with enough care and love,where she will be well spoil with all her need…..she is 10 weeks old and has very good temperament with kids and other pets,very playful love to play around with toys and kids,she is health guaranteed and DNA tested,KUSA registered…..she is up to date on all her shots and will be coming along side her health papers and vet records. a very intelligent and highly social puppy……she is called {Duran} but her nick name is T BONE.and i am actually giving her out because she belonged to my daughter(Jenner) but with a heavy heart i lost Jenner and she was all i got ,i Just relocated to my new apartment in TEXAS{AUSTIN}.i will like you to come and pick the puppy asap but if the distance is far then i suggest we arrange for a home delivery which the puppy will be delivered directly to your home door..Jenner died in an accident last 2 weeks on her way back from her piano classes and i have very bad memories when i see this puppy around me,because she was always together with her since i am always busy in the laboratory.i really need to give her to someone who can really care and love her just the way Jenner used to.Duran has been very lonely since Jenner passed away so the best thing i decided on as my colleague advised to me was to send her to a loving home .i really count on you if you can be there for this puppy.Please may i also ask you a few questions?
        where are you located?
        Are you a breeder?
        Do you have kids?
        Can you also promise that you will take good care of her?

        How soon are you ready to have her home?
        and if needs to be deliver, then get back to me with your:

        Full Names…………………………………
        City…………………………………………..
        Postal Code………………………………..
        Home Address……………………………
        contact number……………………………

        NB:The fee for the delivery is $200(USD) which you will have to pay directly to the delivery agency.

        Thanks and God bless.

        It’s a damn shame that people resort to acting as though they’ve lost a child. The way I found them out was due to the fact that they said in the title of the e-mail that it was a BROWN Yorkie and in the pictures it was your standard colored black and gold Yorkie.

        Please be careful and all I ask is that someone do their homework. I’ve also just become a member on http://www.kijiji.com and I made a forum topic in the pet discussions sections. Names to also look out for are Nester Jawana and Frank Ngwa

        1. Last night the same thing happened to me. Im still a teen and even im smart enough to realize they were a scam. FREE TEACUP YORKIES? are you kidding?! theyre worth 1000 dollars. anyways i got happy i herd the word “free”. i emailed them and they rushed the whole paying process. i remember when i got my current dog, i watched my dad go through this communicative process. these scammers werent communicative at all & they had bad enlglish. it seemed like i was talking to a robot. THEY GAVE ME QUESTIONS TO ANSWER AND I DIDNT EVEN ANSWER THEM! BUT THEY STILL WANTED MY MAILING INFORMATION!

          apparently i emailed 2 people from different websites. and what are the odds, they were both from Cameroon.

          BRADGASTON@YAHOO.COM & SAPINAMANDA9@YAHOO.COM
          (the 2 scammers)

          THESE BITCHES DESERVE TO FUCKING GO TO HELL.

        2. I just last eve and today had the same scam on an umbrella cockatoo. The add was for cleveland Ohio or northern ohio on kijjii. When they ans me they were in victoria island southern cameroon. they had to get rid of the bird by order of landlord and it was free except for shipping fees $250 to my door. I was being nice and trying to back down and the wife offered to spend $100 of their money to save me. When I ask about it being delivered to my door what shipping co were they using since all I ever heard of had to be picked up at airport they wrote back asking for all info full name address phone and local airport. I had answered another add several months with simular emails but I didn’t take it as far as I did this one. Heart braking to think we want to adopt and give good homes to a scam artist empty whims.

  12. i just got scamed this evil person who said he was from hollywood, ca there were no dogs fake pics that he stole from other sites. fake airlines fake person real money. people are evil.

    1. a pastor williams tried to scam me with bulldogs. possibly the same. from hollywood and sent bogus pics..

  13. i saw this add for a free tea cup yorkie. i emailed him and this is what i said.
    i’m interested in your puppy pleas contact me asap. thank you.

    My Response:I am looking for a female for my mother for Mother’s day. Do you have a female? We have had small dogs our whole life and recently my brother moved out and took the chiuwawa (Cheech) with him. My mom misses him so much that every morning she drives to my brothers house just so she can walk him and spend time with him. Last night my brother was over for dinner and she insisted that he bring over Cheech. The problem is that Chich needs to adjust to his new home because he has already snuck out a few times and attempted to run back to my mom’s. She mentioned that she was considering maybe getting a Yorkey so after speaking to my brother we decided if we could find one for a decent price we would get it for her. We know once she sees it she will be in love. I live in Fort Lauderdale so I do not mind driving to pick up the puppy and my brother would like to see it too before we make the committment. We are available to see it this evening (after 5pm) or tomorrow. Please let me know. My number is 954-XXX-XXXX in case you would prefer to call. Also, if you wouldn’t mind sending the pictures in the mean time, the email you sent had no pictures. Thanks.

    Thanks

    My response:Your ad said that you were in Fort Lauderdale but then you tell me you are in Cameroon, so I research Cameroon and the first thing I find is articles about puppy scams from Cameroon. They display actual emails from scammers and they are exactally what you have written to me word for word. Now why would I wire you money for a puppy you cannot even produce a picture of? I guess there are some idiots out there and that’s why you are thriving. I am only interested in dealing with local breeders and do not believe in flying puppies across the world.

    So now that I know that this is a scam, and you are full of sh@@t, you can take your fake puppies and shove them up your a@@! I have reported you to the websites I found your ad on so that everyone else will know you are doing illegal things and stealing. Just so you know someone was recenly arrested for doing the same thing in the States and I hope that you have the same fate. Every dog has their day.

    Do not contact me again. I am turning your information over to the police so that they can investigate. I hope they find you.

    P.S. – You are going to rot in He%%. Have fun.

    1. Hilarious this is what i sent him, as well i got some similar guy with the same exact story;
      Hey Keanie,
      So I did some research and found it very odd that so many people have been scammed with the same similar story. I’m not mad by the way I just wanted to tell you though you fucking disgust me you piece of ignorant shit, your a waste and its sad to see you using gods name in vain, I hope you catch aids and malaria in fucking africa your taking up space in this world and I hope satan makes sure you pay for all the money you’ve stolen from innocent people, have fun in hell and if you end up in jail I really hope you drop the soap everyday let’s see how much faith you really have. Have a Good shitty life you fucking bum. Lattaz shove the 2 yorkies up your ass if they fit.

      P.S. Change your email and your info because I will be posting up all your information on the net warning people about you goodbye.
      Sent via BlackBerry from T-Mobile

      1. ahh thats a great reply. these people are awful feeding on people who want to give animals a good home

  15. I recently received one about a Maltese pup as well from Cameroon Airways. They wanted 90 for a new crate. Luckily though I did not send any money before I found this cite. We are a family in the US military and I used it as a threat to them so hopefully they will not be emailing me anymore. This is pathetic that people must sink so low to scam others out of money in such a mannor. I hope other people are like me and research before they wire money.

  16. hi i got two of my friends who are scammers and they are still doing it, please if you have been scammed, just contact me i will try my best to lead you to them ok,

    1. Yeah right!
      I also almost got scammed by one of these and i noticed that they all say “ok”, at the end of everything.
      “I will send you the yorkie puppie ok.”
      “I will just need your address so i can get you my babie ok”
      etc.
      low lifes like this discust me.

  17. I recently came across 3 of these scammers. I’m glad I did research before I wired any money to these assholes.

    Here’s an example of how they tried to con me:

    joan joan (terrybulls@yahoo.com)

    Hello, Actually, i am located in the Western Region Of Cameroon, where i will
    be shipping the puppies to your location, which they will be delivered right at
    your door steps in a crate and all play toys, with a 1 year health guarantee.
    But, before i give this puppy to you, you are to promise me that, you are going
    to always take him/her out or a walk, take proper care of them, and always send
    me recent pictures of them. They will be coming with all work papers, food
    menu.They are AKC registered, and on all recent shots up to date. If the

    right at your door steps in about 18-19 hrs time since they will be taking a
    direct flight to your location. And for you to get these babies, you are require
    to provide just the shipping fee to your location . So we will also like to know
    where you are located.. So how are you preparing to welcome these babies? Have
    you got more play toys for them, will you always take them out for a walk?And they will be
    coming along side with their resident permit STATUS FOR THESE PUPPIES. They are 11 weeks
    old, they love the company of kids and other house hold pets. They are house, toilet, table trained.
    Are you married……………………….
    Do you have kids……………………
    Are they friendly with pets………………..
    Have you ever kept bulldogs before……….
    Where are you located……………………..

    Will be waiting to read back from you soon.

    My response:
    Before I decide which one to adopt, I would like to ask a few questions if that’s ok.

    What’s your name?
    Have you done business with other people?
    How will I be paying you?
    Is there a written guarantee that I will be recieving one of these puppies if I pay upfront?
    If there is a problem, is there any other way that I can contact you?

    Their response:

    below are the answers to your questions.
    What’s your name? Ade Collins

    Have you done business with other people?am still doing one now, i have some whom i can give his address too you, his about to get one.

    How will I be paying you? via western union

    Is there a written guarantee that I will be receiving one of these puppies if I pay upfront?if you wish i write something then no problem..

    As assurance,the first thing i will tell you is we do all things on trust,you
    trust me and i trust you too.I can assure you i will have the puppies been
    shipped to you and they will deliver them right at your door step.Well,before I
    put the puppy ad for adoption,I have already obtained a legal Cites Export
    Permit from the Ministry of Livestock Fishery and Animal Husbandry here to
    shipping out the dogs.I think this will be as a clear Proof that what Am doing
    is legal and transparent.So you are to have all my full address that you can
    take any legal action to me if i get your money and don’t send you the
    puppies.If i want to rip or get money from a person i will not be taking your
    money,in the name of puppies that can bring done my reputation right that is too
    small,i am a Christian ok.

    If there is a problem, is there any other way that I can contact you? well you can use a long distance call card to call me at 00237-9439-7134

    I really hope that no one else falls for this BS like I almost did.

    There’s also another scammer who I’m talking to.
    I’ll be sure to post about them next!

  18. Oh my gosh! I cannot believe everything I have read! Its safe to say that I was about to be scammed by the same guy in Cameroon! I was offended when I found out he wanted me to send money to some country outside the US. Luckily I refused and then I never heard a single word back from him. How do we put a stop to all this! I have also been talking to a few other people from different ads and now I am afraid they might be scammers too! How do I know?? And that agent George guy is an absolute liar and definately helping whoever is doing this!

  19. He’s moved up to horses now. I answered an ad for a friesian gelding of 12 years old for sale in Black Diamond Washington. After many emails back and forth, he tells me the horse is actually located in Maine. This is AFTER he finds out IM located in Washington. I guess he was afraid I would actually want to SEE the horse before we bought it. Well this guy is clearly an idiot because he sent me the registration numbers of this horses parents which I traced back to his owner who is happily living her life with this horse and clearly had no intentions of selling and knows nothing about ads being place to sell this horse. The info and emails look just like the countless ones posted here, same thing, send money to Cameroon, blah blah blah. This time he was calling himself Williams Dawrson (I think he was shooting for Dawson) and claimed to be a pastor and that this was his daughters horse who has left for college in the UK and he “is just to busy to care for his baby”

    If enough people start complaining to the FBI something might actually get done about this. Although, since they arent commiting the crimes on US soil, they’re most likely isnt jack shit the FBI or any other agency in the US that can do anything about it which is why they’re still scamming. But, I hold out hope that maybe a law will get changed and they are able to charge these people since theyre money grubbing the US citizens, so I have filed my report with them. I hope you all do too.

  21. I have been experiencing the same e-mails. Gosh once they get your e-mail, e-mails come in from all sorts of people. Always, different. Gee it is kinda fun playing with them, but it also makes me angry that people like this take such advantage of us. I feel badly for the people who bought into the scam. I am certain the reason the dog is so inexpensive is because of the laws. They are probably just under the amount to be charged with a felony. Below my most recent correspondence.

    THE PUPPIES WILL BE SHIP FROM WALES CAMEROON JUST AS I TOLD YOU THE
    ONLY ADVICE I WILL GIVE YOU SI TO CONTACT THE SHIPPING COMPANY THIS
    WAY AND FINE OUT IF YOU CAN MAKE THE PAYMENT AT YOUR OWN AIRPORT AND
    THERE WILL SHIP THE PUPPIES TO YOU BECAUSE FOR ME I DON’T HAVE ANY
    PROBLEM IN THAT SO THEIR ADDRESS IS (safepetsrelocators@hotmail.com)SO
    JUST CONTACT THEM RIGHT NOW AND GET BACK TO ME I WILL ALSO NEED TO

      ISN’T IT THE SAME EXACT MESSAGE, BUT MIGHT BE LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT!
      THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!

  23. I’m a little suprized how many people fall for this. After E-mailing back and forth a few times it became obvious they were shady. I hope the have to walk a long way to get there western union because I’m bored and intend to send them on as many wild goose chases as possible. After reading up on it these guysare pulling a similar scam on everything from cars to monkeys! So I’ll just have to tell them I’m sure I sent the money, just wait a little longer, I’m at western union right now, they say the money should be there HA HA! Maybe if everyone takes a moment a sends them of to get there “funny money” they can get some exercise!
