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:

My reply:

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.
I really like jack rustles, well they are so cute when they are born but as they get older, some garde things and people and others are just excited. Or a bit of both they are my best dogs in the whole world.
hi im carly and im Sam

Reason for Re-homing the

Australia and the Australia Government does not allowed Animal to get into their Country due to their Strong Quarantine restrict Law.
I need an urgent home for them so badly so, you will only pay the
Shipping Fare of $67 for each puppy and $120 for both, I am not out to make money from them since they where just like my own children,my main concern is to give them the best they ever want.all I will like to here from you is to Promise me that you would shower them with lots of TLC .And I would never like that my babies should end up in a shelter or rescue.,feel free to mail me.If you are willing to get them,please e-mail me asap so that I would stop all other contacts .If you have any more question to ask I will answer you truthfully and
faithfully
Me: person stated in the ad on Ebay that they were in Long Island, so i then responded saying “where are you located, because then i can just pick them up?
mcmercy500@hotmail.com:
Hello,
Thanks for your Email, and i am very glad to read from you once more,my
prime concern is a good home for them where they will get all the love and care
which they need and be spoiled rotten to the fullest, they are of
exceptional quality, they are micro chipped with all their paper works and
shots up to date, they will come with a life time health guarantee, an excellent
pedigree since they are of exceptional quality.
Joce are Mark12 weeks old, and since i am located in ST ANTONIE CAMEROON for an
ecological field work, i am am leaving a non acceptable pet apartment
and every person in this area will want the puppies for breeding
purposes, which i will not want my puppies to be used for any breeding
programs or some kind of biological research, so that is why i am
looking for a new home for them and more over i have little time to care for them
because of my work schedule,I am asking 67$ per puppy for the transportation
fee to your home, and the puppy can be delivered right at your doorsteps
by a special pet taxi and you will have to just promise me that you will spoil
the puppy rotten and i will make all the necessary arrangements to get the
puppy transported and delivered to your home
Actually what i never wanted was them being separated but if you can take just Joce and leaving her brother Mark behind no problem,so email me right away with the following details
Your full names———————————
State/City——————————————–
Zip Code————————————————
House Add————————————————
Closest Airport——————————————
Phone number———————————————–
one, i really have no problems with that but please like i earlier said,
the care and affection which the puppy will get is my concern,
Thanks!Waiting!!
This is actualy the 2nd time that I responded to an ad on Ebay from these type of scammers, the first stated they were Christian and going to Africa, where the weather is not good for Yorkies, to help the needy. Utter crap!
I want a Yorkie. Just contacted 4 different sellers, all who turned out to be SCAMS. boy, do I pick them.
In my anger, i’ve set up a blog. ttp://petscam.blogspot.com
basically its a name and shame. names of sellers, things to look out for. Help me share the info, so others don’t fall prey! I’ve uploaded my correspondence to help people get an idea.
My biggest tip hwr: when you realize that you are being scammed WHATEVER YOU DO resist the urge to tell the scammer what tipped you off! I know it is VERY hard, but rubbing their stupidity in their face, and telling them where they went wrong, tells them how to fix their game to better catch their next victim!
I was looking for a yorkie on oodle and got about 15 or more emails from people that were supposedly in Cameroon for one reason or another. Luckily, since I got so many with the same story, I figured it out before I sent out money.

Thanks for the mail and interest in the little girl. She is 14 weeks
old and her name is Dian. Dian is our darling angel. We are 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 Dian and my daughter. They wont allow Dian 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 2
weeks to send her back to the states. So that is the reason i have to
find for her a home back in the states where she will be showered with
all that love and affection. Hope you wont mind if i ask you a few
questions:
Do you have kids?…………….
Do you have any experience with puppies?…………..
Are you a breeder or will you breed her in the future if i let you
have her?………..
Will you send us updates about her from time to time and
pictures?………………..
I am 45 just being concerned about the type of home she will be
going to ,so that is why i am curious to know. We love her so much and
we want to make sure goes to a family that will show her the affection
she deserves. She is health guaranteed,AKC registered and will come
along with all her papers,diapers,dog blanket,play toys, crate and
food menu. She is very playful and goes along with kids and other home
pets. She loves to be held and cuddled and sometimes wants all the
attention for herself. . So if you can stand the chance of taking her
home, you will only need to buy her a new travel crate because the one
she came in with is bad it will cost just $120 for a new crate ,this
money for crate will be paid directly to the airport to provide the
travel crate .. 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.Waiting to read from you soon
This was the inital communication that caused my family to get scammed:
Dear Friend,
I am glad to read from you regarding my puppies.
They are AKC REGISTERED and Vet Checked and will make a very good house hold pets and a
great companion.I am giving them out for adoption only to a good and
loving home.The reason why I am giving these puppies out is because I do
not have enough time for them since i just relocated for a research program to Banya Cameroon and i will be shipping the puppies over to you from here o.k
They are very sensitive puppies and portray the following:-
They eat 2 times Daily and have adapted to that…
They are very humble and smart puppies
They are Micro-Chipped-Hand Fed but can also eat on their own,DNA tested and USDA Standard.
They are potty trained and gets along well with kids and other house pets.
The Puppies are potty trained.
The Puppies like kisses that makes them get more adapted to you..
The puppy would come along side their,clothing s and
Blankets for Cold
The puppies are 10 weeks old and will be 4.5 to 5lbs more fully grown.
Note we are Christians
But before we go deeply about the puppies,i would like to know more
about you and your family like::::::::
Where are you located ?.
Are you Married?and with kids?And will they welcome these babies home?
How is the nature of your job?
How soon will you love to have the puppies?
If we let you have them will you send us updates as much as we need to know?
Do you smoke?
How is the nature of your Job?
Have you experience with pets?if yes what breeds?
Are you taking them for breeding purposes
Also get back to me with your your phone numbers,City,Zip code.
With all the information above,i would be able to know more about you
and the home that my puppies would be going to.Below this attachment
are the most recently shot pictures of my puppies hope you
adore them .The female puppy is called SALI and the male is DANI if you will stand the chance of taking them then you will only pay for their Transportation Crates so they can get you
they came down with their crates but as we were busy arranging stuffs for our new Home the crates got shattered so you will not spend much just $150 for a crate so if you are to take both SALI and DANI then you will be paying just $300 o.k So You get to me as soon as possible so we can proceed with the shipping re-arrangements o.k
Sali
Dani
HOPE YOU MAIL ME BACK
HAVE A NICE TIME
my husband and i almost fell for it. we realized it wasn’t right when we looked at their website. it was pretty shady. then i looked up other pet carrier agencies and found a website for Europe with the same pictures and text as the scam one. And in the email they said “hello call” which is our last name..ifffy?? how do go from being in kansas to cameroon with in a couple of hours?? and we found this article and knew for sure. thanks everyone you’ve saved us 250 dollars we can spend on a real dog. we want cavachon…so if you know where to get one let me know 🙂
THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! your post has brightened my day! i actually fell for this unfortunately but just knowing that someone took the time to mess with a little! thanks again!
I recently was searching for a toy yorkie same scam just send money to ship!!! British Cameroons I had a feeling about it was to good to be true!!!! So I emailed back call me and I will set up all the arrangments to have the dog shipped needless to say no response!!!!
i spent some time reading some of your comments and i don’t get one thing. so many animals are being euthanized in city pounds every day and instead of adopting a poor soul you are trying to find ways to spend hundreds of dollars to buy one. i can’t believe how shallow some people are. instead of throwing away your money to buy an animal, adopt one from a shelter or pound! there are so many dogs that need to be rescued, dogs that are kind and will give you their heart just for some kind words and a bowl of food. please stop this it is cruel and proves that you just care about the exterior, and not about what’s inside. for God’s sake!
I got one from an email named:
marie.carmen50@yahoo.com
Trying to adopt out her puppies. I wrote her back:
I think I didn’t understand that these are not for food. My english is not good and I have to use a translator website like google to write my emails. I live in china and I wanted to have them for my dinner. Those dogs are not a popular breed here in china so I figured that my family might try to like the taste. I can buy them here much cheaper and with hair already shaved off so that the skin peals off nicely. If you cannot adopt them out let me know and i can tell you how to prepare their meat for cooking so they do not go to waste. The eyes are the best part when they pop in your mouth as you chew on their juices. I get excited just to think of the wonderful taste. If you try it you will like it.
Sincerely,
Snafyu Changfiloka
I am still waiting for a reply back. Just an FYI I got a scam email from the same person wanting to adopt out her CHILDREN!
Hi
Thank you very much for getting back to me .Let me start my introducing my self once more,I am called Marie Carmen and i as i told you i have this two babies i am willing to give out for adoption . They are called Carson and Brenda . Carson the male and Brenda the Female. So the mail reason why i am giving this children out is because. I am unable to take good care of them and their father is no more . He died in a car accident on his way back from the little supermarket we had .So when he died i was 8 months pregnant so there was no time for me going to the supermarket so i looked for someone who can be there before i give birth so i meet one girl who would be selling at the super market .So she was there for 2 weeks and sold everything in the supermarket and ran away with the money with a guy . Till today i have never set my eyes on her . So i have been suffering all alone with this children . As for my husband’s relative he had none because he was just the only son of his parents and he did not let me know anyone was relative but as for his friends he had just two and all they where trying to do was just to have sex with me so i decided never to meet them again . So that is the main reason why i have decided to look for a good God fearing family who would take good care of this babies for me where they would be able to go to school and grow up in a good place not like here in Cameroon where they would become very bad when they grow up . So please all i need is a good home for the babies and if you can provide that i would be very much happy . So i would love to know more about you and your family. So here are some pictures of Brenda and Carson for you to see . So if you are ok then get back to me so we can proceed .
Thanks
Marie Carmen
Perhaps I should write back and ask if her children are edible? hehe

Hello ,
I am very impressed for your sound response and your brief description
of yourself and environment.As you can see, prices for a scottish terrier puppy
varies, if you want to buy from a shop,I hope you understand.You might
be wondering why i am
giving one gorgeous and healthy scottish terrier puppy is £150.Firstly i
will like you to know my status first,I am an Electrical Engineer and
not a breeder.The person who was breeding
these puppies was my wife but i lost her a couple of months ago in a
surgery operation.I had no intention in selling these puppies .But the
puppies were so lonely at home since i got up very early in the
morning ,go to my job site and only back home in the evening and some
time late at night.So i was advised by one of my friends to offer the
puppies for home adoption.I had to decides to do so.They were five of
them and the only one left now are these male and female.
I am based in LIVERPOOL
If you can not make it up here, then do let me know so that i help you
to arrange on how it will be delivered over to your home.Please the
£150 is total cost including the delivery charges of one
puppy,delivery fee and the money
will be paid to the delivery company for them to deliver the puppy
over to your home,
This is our list of emails from these scammers. We lost our beloved Scotty last week so we were hoping to get another one fairly soon. After the first reply I guessed this was a scam, as in his advert on line he was ‘based in Edinburgh’, then in the reply he was ‘based in LIVERPOOL’, in capital letters. Also in the UK, we do not have zip codes and states, we have postcodes and counties. Sorry you will have to read from bottom to top. Hope these scums get what they deserve very very soon.

Hello ,
I am very impressed for your sound response and your brief description
of yourself and environment.As you can see, prices for a scottish terrier puppy
varies, if you want to buy from a shop,I hope you understand.You might
be wondering why i am
giving one gorgeous and healthy scottish terrier puppy is £150.Firstly i
will like you to know my status first,I am an Electrical Engineer and
not a breeder.The person who was breeding
these puppies was my wife but i lost her a couple of months ago in a
surgery operation.I had no intention in selling these puppies .But the
puppies were so lonely at home since i got up very early in the
morning ,go to my job site and only back home in the evening and some
time late at night.So i was advised by one of my friends to offer the
puppies for home adoption.I had to decides to do so.They were five of
them and the only one left now are these male and female.
I am based in LIVERPOOL
If you can not make it up here, then do let me know so that i help you
to arrange on how it will be delivered over to your home.Please the
£150 is total cost including the delivery charges of one
puppy,delivery fee and the money
will be paid to the delivery company for them to deliver the puppy
over to your home, since they are the one to process the change of
ownership papers to your names, provide a travel crate and issue a
delivery tickets for them.If you are ok,then get back to me with the
following infos below.
Full names
House address
Phone numbers
Post code

As soon as i have the following then i will arrange the paper works of
the puppy ok.But i need you to make a choice among the puppies and

I WOULD LIKE TO REPORT THAT I HAVE HAD TWO DEATH THREATS TO MYSELF AND MY SON FROM THESE PEOPLE TODAY. I WROTE TO THEM AND TOLD THEM I HAD REPORTED THEM AND THEY WROTE BACK AND TOLD ME THAT MY SON AND MYSELF WILL BE MURDERED SOON. THIS IS NOT A JOKE. I AM PETRIFIED.
I am still having serious problems with this person. I saw an ad on the net for a certain breed of pup, and contacted him. His replies were very sparse and the questions I asked were not answered, but questioned he asked me, I answered, then he asked me the same questions again in the next email. I Googled his name, and after much searching, found people who were shouting from the rooftops that he is a scammer. I wrote back and told him I had no interest in the pup now, and the reply was very very scary. He told me that myself and my family need to watch our backs, and he was sending two assassins from his UK based company to execute us in our road. He said he knew where we lived as he has friends who can search email servers and find addresses, and the executions would be carried out in typical Taliban accordance.
This is not my real name above, I would not give you this for fear of reprisals.
I hope you will take serious note of this email, the police are also aware of the situation.
Thanks for reading this and please, do take this seriously.
I am enjoying messing with this idiot claiming to be in Spain. I knew in my heart this was a scam when I read the original ad in the Beaumont Enterprise. He has just sent me 12 pics of “Leroy” and asked for money for “change of ownership papers.” Here is the email from “Dr. Arnold M” :
Great to read from you again. We want just the best of care for Leroy and you have gain our trust on that.We have Leroy`s pictures attached to this mail.All we will need is the change of ownership papers and so we can book a flight for him. 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 laws here in Spain are quite different from the laws in the states and so the transfer of ownership papers must be done here if not the Spanish custom authorities at the airport will not allow the puppy to to be shipped out of Spain.The change of ownership papers will cost $100 .I will be shipping Leroy from the Barcelona 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 or Air Europa cargo. because they are very efficient in pets transportation and they always insure pets before shipping .They 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 every flight.As soon as you are ready to wire the money let me know and so we can have things started .We hope to read from you.You can call me using my universal satellite cell phone number +2288475919 cal the number just as it appears making sure that you include the + sign.Have a nice day.GOD BLESS YOU.
Thanks
Dr Arnold M
My daughter has wanted a dog forever, so when she and her boyfriend found this ad in our local paper, dreams were coming true. I told her to check to be sure it wasn’t a scam, looking for husky, not bull dogs she didn’t find anything, now when I talk to her today I will have to break her heart… why are people so mean!
Thank you all for this information, and saving my family from even more heart-ache

Thanks for the interest in regards of the baby boy Jeff.
He is 12 weeks old very healthy with a great personality and lot of
skills.He is home raised and kid friendly & also gets along well with
other pets.He has been vet examined,AKC registered,potty trained and current on
all his shots.Jeff is very obedient and has been trained to walk on leash
during the day when he intends to go out for a walk.
He is now available and ready for adoption.We look forward only to a
caring home where he can be spoil rotten.We loved this boy so badly
and giving him out for adoption is due to the fact that we could no
longer give him all the care he deserves from us.
We would like to let you know why we want to get rid of him.
My wife and i works with UNICEF(United Nations Children;s Fund) and
we recently relocated from the States to Cameroon for a mission that
will last for about three months and we took along our baby puppy
with us just for companionship since he is our only child. Our mission and tour here
could not give us enough time to take care of him and we look forward
to give him out for an adoption fee of $150.00.He is ready with all records and toys.He is going to come
along with a one year health guarantee certificate.we would be shipping
Jeff from here which is going to take less than a day for him to arrive
we would need the following information from you in order to make
arrangement for his delivery.
Your Full names?
Home address & phone numbers?
Closest airport ?
Permit us asked you some few questions.
1.Have you lived with Husky before?
2.If you adopt him are you going to treat him like your own child.
3.Who could look after him in your absence?
Reply us back,we would get back to you with more pics.
Thanks
I wish my husband would have been smart and listened to me when I told him to go make sure it wasnt a scam and now he’s out of 250 dollars because he didn’t listen….I was pissed and still is….
I got scam last week from Cameroon.I contact a lady in Cameroon about getting a female Piebald and discovered my self in a scam.be very careful about this Cameroon pets scammers.the email address of that lady is angelapride18@yahoo.com
I recently want to get a bulldog and I found one on internet. they are very cute and the owner of course told the same story about relocate and could not take care puppies. one dog 270 and we love dog so we were willing to get 2. but here is how you identify scams, I asked owner what is name of agency and he is tupid enough to told me the headqurter of agency is in Britsh Cameroon. that raise the red flag and I reply that I has friend in your city that he can go to pick up the puppy. then he reply that he already sent the dogs to agency and the agency require 100 dollars so called feed fee. then I reply to this mother fucker (sorry my language) said that my friend will meet you at agency and pay 100 dollars to get the dog. then you know what happen, never hear from this SOB anymore. I just don’t understand how could people do such thing and take advantage of animal lovers. I hope this email can help everyone try to buy animal thru internet. sometime the price is too good to be true then it’s scams. Trust me.
i am so sad i dont understand why they are doing this…i have spend 15000 rubles for puppy and today they want 2000rub……………….why i havent seen this website before'((((((((((((((((((((
What is being done to arrest this bastard named SIMON BESONG?
