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:
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?
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.
omg i am glad i googled st.cameroon because i just e-mailed a lady that tried to send me a FREE teacup yorkie
but after learning this information its all scammed

He uses the same e-mail ====> myloveone01@gmail.com
This scammer got a free web page as well ====> http://www.teningpuppies.4t.com/
ALL FRAUD! ALL SCAM!
I love what you said at the end. Recently I recieved an email about my missing cat. This is what it read, and I quote:
“Hello,I saw your advert posted,the pet interest me and i urgently want toadopt it because am loving caring for pet.I live in Ash ville NorthCarolina,As regard the shipping arrangement i will be responsiblefor that,kindly give me the following information the pet. what is the name of my loving pet?when last has the loving pet visited the vet?and The adoption fee?Hope to read soon from youNote:Be kind enough to remove the advert from the post because of other buyerRegards.”
This is what I replyed:
“Do u really think that trying to scam people like this works? U are amoral. And considering u can write fluently let me inform u that means without morals, u ignorant scamming prick!”
So beware of people in North Carolina too!
i too was taken advantage of. i sent two emails to two different people and when they both sent different emails saying they were in Cameroon i knew i was geting scammed! here is what was said
Thanks for the mail.All puppies come with a written health guarantee,Champion Blood Lines,crate trained and we even begin Paper Training prior to leaving for their new home.They are all registered,vet checked with health records that will be faxed directly from our vet,they are current on all shots and worming.They love to cuddle and get into things especially when they are indoors.They are all 12 weeks old now and very
affectionate and do weigh 3-4 pounds but will be 5 pounds when fully grown.Also they have very good health conditions and temperament,inactive indoor so can do fine without a yard.Our greatest wish is that these puppies should be taken good care of and be showered with love and attention.They are very lovely with kids and other house
hold pets and will love to make any new home spoil rotten.Do you have kids at home?,have you other house hold pets and where are you located?,sorry for the many questions just curious.They do come with 1year health guarantee,

Thank you so much for getting back to me as soon as you did. I wanted a Yorkie to give to my best friend for her birthday. I live with her and so if I get it it will also be mine! 😀 .. The home she will be living in does have children. There are three. The oldest is 4 then 3 and the youngest is 7 months. They have one little kitten no bigger than a Yorkie and is so friendly. They also have two lab puppies that they saved from the shelter however they are outside “watch dogs”. Watch dogs that lick EVERYONE. They dont even bark at people yet. I live in Elk City, Oklahoma. I think the website said you lived in Oklahoma, I would be very willing to drive to pick one up. I am looking for a little girl. We have a vet that we have taken ALL of the pets to and will also take this puppy to. I would like to see pictures and I would like to get one. Thank you for everything.

pet’s health profoundly by making one simple decision. All you have to
do is change his diet from commercial-brand fare to something you may
never have imagined giving him:real food.The fresh food you buy at the
market for yourself is the food you should give your pet, too."i
feed my puppies with Fresh food. Fresh chicken and turkey and beef.
Fresh raw vegetables and fruits. Fresh brown rice and oatmeal. Fresh
yogurt,eggs, and cottage cheese,they do not shed.the puppy will be
shipped from Wales Cameroon where i am presently located ok. I am

Yeah Cameroon is a huge scam. Sadly, when I found out. It was too late. I was scammed of $260 just for a “Teacup Yorkie Terrier”.
Heres some emails to look out for…

angelina peklin
Vanesa Mable
macelin moor ((She’s a GOOD SCAMMER))
antonio babarita ((He’s a GOOD SCAMMER))
I am very depressed about this whole situation. I went looking for an identical dog to mine who has passed, only to get scammed.

Sorry for your loss but note that there is no such thing as a “good scammer” – there are bad scammers; they are NASTY CRIMINALS and there are no “shes” – there are ONLY RUTHLES MALE UNEDUCTED SCUMBAGS who spend their days and nights sending already scripted e-mails from Internet Cafes pretending to be a widow, a church or a mission worker even a pet breeder sometimes. IT’S ALL LIES – ALL SCAMS, FRAUD AND PHISHING USING FAKE WEB SITES pretending to be “A Pet Transporters”!
People, do get involved – search for other forums as well to place your complains with copies of your e-mails including ORIGINATING IP – this way more potentials victims will be warned!
There is a great forum http://fraudwatchers.org
As for lost cash, you NEVER GET IT BACK!
CAMEROON GOVERNMENT seems to be looking the other!
WESTERN UNION adds to the problem…. It’s all about money!
I was looking for a pup for my daughter for christmas. Because I am working most of the time I was looking on the internet for nice pups. Wile I was looking found that you could adopt. “VERY NICE CHIHUAHUA PUPS” I send a message to the person advertising that I am interested & got this mail back.

The dog was purfect. Then I got a feeling that things might not be as it seems. I started looking up cameroon & found your side. Still trying to see if it is a scam or not. I replied back to her again. Saying the following.
Hi
I will answer al your questions with love.
1. I am not a breeder. I can not have any more kids & now animals is filling that gap for me.
2. I do have a daughter & she is 4 years old & will be turning 5 in February
3. I had a poodle before & he died about 6 years ago. I do have 2 cats & I have had them for about 11 years now.
4. I would love to have Dolly for chrismas or earlier if posable.
I hope that my answer helped you in making a decision on wether I am a good candidate for her.
Regards
She or he replied back again with the following.
thanks for getting back to me,i am so happy that you are willing to have Dolly as a member of your family,i really appreciate that, i will be sending her over to you as soon as possible if possible tomorrow because i really do not have the time to care for her like she deserves, she was always with my niece Stephany but she lost her life in an accident 3 weeks ago so each time i see them think of her,when will you want her to be sent over to you,i am presently in Cameroon working with the UNHCR,i will be sending Dolly from here and it will cost you R1200 to have her delivered to your home,i will be very pleased to read back from you..
thanks and regards to your daughter.
After getting that I knew that this has to be a con woman or man. I send her the following e-mail.
I would love to have her now. Just to be sure that I do get Dolly at the end of this agreement I need to make a request. I have been reading about skeems going on with the puppies that people claim to have & people transfer money over & loose the money & do not get any thing. I would prefere that we make an arrangement that payment for the delivery will be made with cash to the courier when delivered. As I said I am not saying that this might be a skeem I am only taking caution. Please get back to me on this regard.
That is when she replied with the following.
hello,i understand what you are talking about.you just have to take ourwords because we do not take advantage of other people not to talk oftaking advantage of a family like yours who have promise to providelove and care for our puppy.i would have love to pay for thetransportation fee and have you send back the money upon delivery ofthe puppy since the delivery company does not offer COD.the problem isthat i have bills to take care of including some drugs for my kidbrother.for convenience sake,i will reserve a flight for the puppy assoon as i get your delivery data and deposit the puppy at the deliverycompany so that they can contact you with more information on how topay for the transportation fee directly to them since you are scaredof sending the money to me.you will have to pay the money directly tothem after i deposit the puppy there because they do not offer COD forreasons being that they have often transported pets to wrong addressprovided and at the end,they have no body to pay for the service.regards and waiting for your reply if you agree.
I am sure there is someone is cameroon that would take this cute pup. I am in Pretoria.
I still have not send back a e-mail because I am so mad at this moment that they would scam people out of your hard earning money. I just want to thank you for warning al of us that trust to much. I hope that I helped someone els with this message.

Cheers Valerie,
Thanks very much for the mail and for your faithfulness. I really do appreciate the interest you have in adopting my little bird, i do believe your home will be the right home for lina because i love her so much and it is really hard on me giving her out for adoption but i have no choice for now than to rehome the bird to you as her new home.But before we proceed with this, it will be an agreement between the two of us that you will never give out my baby for sale.i have never intended to give lina up for sale. it will seem to me as if i am giving out my own biological daughter for sale.what i need from you as the reward for my baby is to make sure you treat her with great love and affection like your biological child and note should also be taken that i will not be giving out the bird on a first come first serve basics as i need total guarantee and commitment before deciding on a new home for my baby.lina this girl talks alot..she has an uncanny ability to mimic speech in a voice that sounds quite human.lina also imitate sounds with incredible accuracy, So you have be careful about uttering any words you don’t want her to learn, since she seems to have a knack for learning just what you don’t want her to learn!.lina is a great talker.If you are prepared to respect the above conditions then get back with the details below so that i can have the ownership papers of lina changed into your names is like distance is a problem of pick up since you are in Parker, Colorado and not around us. so we have to get lina deliver over to you .I will be needing the details to also reserve a flight seat for the parrot at the airlines here that will be delivering the bird to you.The airlines have courier services which means that we can have lina deliver right at your home so as to ease pick up from the airport closer to your home; Mail back the below delivery credentails
Your full names that’s the receiver’s names………
State…………
City……………
Street address,………….
House number……………..
Name of nearest local airport in your location……………

I am not selling my bird ok You will only have to cover her transportation cost to your home.Also i did inquired the cost of delivery from the pet express today they said it will cost $270. There is a flight schedule tomorrow at 3:00 pm so i will like us to have everything arranged by morning so as to get the parrot registered for the flight at 3.00 pm ttomorrow..You will have to transfer the flight fee so that i can pay for the air ticket of the bird and to get lina comfortable flight seat which is AC 000018AA .she will be coming alongside all her legal and health documents and a comfortable travel cage which i am going to send her inside.i will equally include some toys she enjoys playing with and also a hand book which is going to guide you on her likes and dislikes okay,..i want us to get everything arranged so that you can have the parrot soon.so that i can get back to my job site.I look to reading from you.Is like your email is block so could please compose me mail using this format katelinacherylatyahoodotcom

Hi ,
Thanks for the interest towards our lovely and friendly parrot .We called lina…To talk a bit about her,she is so funny,loves to be by the phone and will creamed when the phone rings. talk and dance with great personalities and will be perfect companion to your entire family. she loves being outside,Also she is very playful and have a very extended vocabulary,say’s hello, what, cracker, Caesar, thank you, shut up and many more. she is very eager to learn and play.she is very cute,vet checked and DNA tested to be a female,her feathers are exquisite looking feathers and colors.she is not a screamer,of course she has some loud moments too, but that is normal and to be expected with birds of her specie,she loves her shower, I put her on a ladder in the shower with me and let the warm water run over her feathers.her eyes will say it all if you see lina for yourself,lina also loves table scraps.she loves washing tv her favourite program cartoons.Once you earn her trust you can hold him like a baby upside down and play with her feets, she also love neck rubs or for you to help scratch the casing off her new feathers.she has good temperament with kids and other pets. We want to give out lina for adoption because I am very busy with my job and my husband too is a Cops so this girl is alawys in the house alone which makes her creamed always because she is lonely. I am presently in New Helense Cameroon ..We are therefore looking for a good home that can take good care of this parrot and also love her as if she is a real kid. Well i will be willing to give out lina to your home provided you are going to give her all the necessary care and attention she deserves in the world.i am not very much concerned about money now, all i want is to ensure that lina finds a good home that is why i am looking a home for her and selling. Get back for more details and her most recent pictures and also tell me a little bit about yourself and your family and where exactly you are located if you are ready to have this little girl .she will be coming alongside her veterinary and immunization papers,a comfortable travel cage including some toys she enjoys playing with so much. Thanks for your time and looking forward to reading from you again. N/B, If you are not located around us, we will have to arrange for delivery of the parrot okay…so, do tell us your location in time.

Unfortunately i did not see any of the posts about cameroon scam till it was to late Thay got my husband and I 246.00 before i realized what was going on when they asked for another 1200.00 dollers.and when we called the air port they were supposed to be at they said there were no birds and last week it was a dog.
I’ve got a new one… pretty weird though… it was not for dogs or cats… but for birds…
I’ve just love to have birds as pets… so i browse through the websites franticly to see if anyone has them for adoption… and 1 pops up… it didn’t strike me even a bit that i was been fooled or the worse word SCAMed…
The person said that his lil’ girl was in the hospital and that there was no one to look after his precious babies… the African Parrots (Cacatoos) well i took the bait… he wanted to know if i was a genuine person and not some bird breeder or seller, who would sell of his birds… i gave him all the details unfortunately even my home add… but when he started to ask for money for shipment… i thought that it was not right for me to send the money b4 i got the product… so i requested him and for which he did’nt agree… and then i said sorry and i totally forgot bout this….
All this took place atleast 6 months back… he suddenly pops up on my chat and asks me if i’m the same person who wanted his birds… i say yes… he agrees to send them to me and that i should pay directly to the shippin company… i still refuse… he gets so pissed off that he starts calling me names… like wicked… and god only knows what all… i ask him to stop being rude and he still does not budge… so i ask him to f*** off and shove the pretty birds up his behind… he gets more angry and threatens me that he’s got my home address and that he’s gonna send men to coup my house and shoot me with a AK47… lovely isn’t it… all this for not taking his precious babies….
All these kind of people are sick… mentally… they want to make quick money without any kind of hardwork… may god give them the rightly deserved place in hell… AMEN!!
THE MOST FRUSTRATING THING ABOUT THOSE SCAMS IS THAT YAHOO IS VERY SLOW I REACTING AND MANY TIME RESPONDS THAT “ACCOUNT WAS CLOSED” BUT FEW DAYS LATER, CAMEROONIAN CRIMINALS STILL IS SENDING E-MAILS ASKING FOR MONEY… WOULD YAHOO PEOPLE BE ON IT?
MOST OF E-MAILS FROM THIS FORUM ARE STILL WORKING… EVEN AFTER 2 YEARS OF SCAMMING…
i olmost buy abeautifull golden but in money gram tellme that is was a fraud and i dident sedn the money i am happy for this.
I was just about to get scammed, with someone from cameroon. They sent me the samethings. She said she was from Northern Cameroon.
I have recently almost been scammed, while looking for a Teacup yorkie to buy. But luckily for the internet, I have done some research while i was looking for where Western Victoria Cameroon was located(which is where they said they were located), then came up, “dog scams in Cameroon”. As soon as i read these posts, all seemed identical to the emails i had received from them. I then read their email they had sent me recently and there where so many mistakes. first they told the were going to fly them, them, ship, then fly. then they were saying they were from Wales Cameroon… WTF. I hope these people get punished. and luck for these posts, it saved me from sending any information and money to them.
the email address they were using is: mycasteld77@gmail.com. here is the email they had sent me below.
Hello ,
thanks for the mail ,just from your word i can judge that you are the right person for my PUPPY/puppies and i will stop at nothing to ensure that they reach you in less than no time.so since you are located in *********. i will have to ship the PUPPY/puppies to you so to do that all you will have to provide is just the shipping fee which is going to cost you $120 each and $240 for the two puppies if you are willing to have them all .so let me know if you will be taking the male or the female puppy or both as you an have them both as well as one. so that i can used that to process their shipping documents.so the puppy/puppies will be ship from WALES CAMEROON..and to do that i will need the following information from you.
YOUR FULL NAMES………..
YOUR STATE…………..
YOUR CITY……………PHONE#………..
HOUSE ADDRESS…….(am asking this because the puppies will be delivered to you at your door steps by a delivery agent) AND THE NEAREST AIRPORT TO YOUR LOCATION.
So once i have your full shipping address i will just provide to you my full address that you will use to send the money because once i have the money i will just take the puppy/puppies to the shipping company and put them on board the flight to your location and the puppy/puppies will just take some few hrs in the air and you will have your puppies safely so right now am just waiting to read from you as soon as possible.
Wow! I’m really thankful to have actually came across somewhere which reassured my suspicion on the overly dramatic “life” of talk2penn@yahoo.com. He claimed his wife died 3 weeks ago on her way to piano lessons, from a car accident. Coincidentally, this person is from Cameroon too. -.- Although i only enquired because the location of the ad is in the country i was in. &in the end after i googled his email address, I found that he was “located” all over the world. -.- How can a teacup yorkie be 10 weeks old since Jan 09 and until the recent post, dated October 09, the pup is still 10 weeks old! This is so ridiculous.
Yea, he also said that he was a devoted Christian. Now i can thank God for letting me know of these scams and preventing them from cheating more innocent pet lovers.
Hmm.. I must have spoke with his dead wife, who informed me that her daughter had passed away returning from piano lessons!! Thank goodness I was smart enough to research!
Im a victim of this scam either.. And i juz transferred s$150 to them for the maltese puppies…I was going to get 2 and chg to 1 to be cautious but it really turn out to be a scam…WHen i say could i pay a deposit first, the person told me ‘ oh we are christian and wun cheat ppl out of their money’ BULLSHYT MAN! I HOPE THESE PPL DIE SOONER.

tea cup yorkie. 120 all included. Jenner (the womens daughter passed away on her way back from piano lessons)
Tina Dawson.
What gave it away was the phone number! I went to see how you would call africa, and looked up the country codes, and I got Ashton, South Africa, instead of cameroon. 🙂
hey so this one is a scam… dang that sucks because i was really excited. and yes this lady told me the same thing about her daughter dying and all i need to pay is 120…
DO NOT BUY OR SEND ANY MONEY TO ALEXANDER GALA!!
He is a SCAMMER!!!!! This is how I almost got scammed. Its seemed like it was all true but once I researched his name on google there were two other stories about the same guy and that he supposely works for the American Peace Corps. People please beware do not get so caught up on the puppies and the peoples story!! Just try to put all the pieces together and please open your eyes that they might be lying.
Beware!! he sells macaws & chihuahuas! & yorkies!
I found this on : puppylounge.com
He has several pictures of the yorkie puppies he supposely has which he doesnt! anyone by these email addresses is a scammer : alexandergala200@gmail.com alexandergala13@yahoo.com

>Hi , Its a pleasure to hear from you and knowing that you love Yorkies. I hope you will be able to provide a lovely home for any of my puppies. Which of them do you like, the male or the female. Mimi is at the right of the picture looking a bit bigger. I can guarantee you will never regret having my puppies. Yorkies are the best amongs home pets . Through a shipping company, they take care of everything till your puppies arrive at the destination airport. All i want is a lovely home for my puppies. The shipping fee is $220 for one and $440 for both. If you are ready then i will need your full names, contact numbers and the nearest airport to your home where you will pickup the puppies. Regards Alex

I replied to him that he is a scammer and that I saw his name on the internet trying to cam other people he hasnt wrote back cause he knows I’m on to him! >=P
He thought I would send him money he cant fool a smart 17 year old!!
it is extremely risky to do business with cameroonians without first consulting an investigator to verify the legitimacy of the company/individuals you want to do business with. write to me personally(marksman7647@yahoo.com) and i will connect you with an investigator in cameroon who helped me from losing my life’s savings.
I’ve got one now! He is trying to sell piebald ball pythons which generally sell for about $1500 depending on their patterns. He sent me pictures of the same snake and said that they were different snakes. I confronted him about it but he said that they were related. That is impossible for related snakes to have the same pattern let alone similar ones like he was claming. I sent him a picture of them next to each other.
He also seems to have forged a document saying that he is alowed to ship pythons to “USA WORLD WIDE” I wonder if I could get him in trouble for forging a legal document. His name, or at least what he cals himself, is Ndonwie Calvin F. and his email is funwiecal@yahoo.co. I tried to hack into it but I couldn’t although I did find out that he only created it on the third of november.
i had the very same thing happen to me, ican only say this, i have learned a lesson and luckily only $310 was lost. i had seince enough to not pay the insurance fee of $800, this was obiously so fake, how could i not have known? the whole time i felt weary about it but the excitment of having a puppy got the best of me. if it feels wrong, dont do it, that it the best advice i could ever give and the best motto t follow in life. i wish i would have listined to what i was feeling

well I also was about to fall for the cameroon scam for 2 english bulldogs. what gets me is i found the adds in my local news paper. i sent an email to 3 different adds and got the basically the same response. the more questions i asked about the transaction the more pissed they became. i think they said ok after every sentence. they asked me to send the money western union in euro. western union only sends in the currency of that country. cameroon doesn’t do euro. there is a special place in hell for people like that. why cant something be done?
