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.
Change the name of the website from fun with cameroon to FUCK YOU CAMEROON. This was not fun.
SAME M.O. from ‘Dominic Ransom’ @ yahoo
sick fck using dead daughter to flog a Dalmatian.. had some fun with him … told him my husband -federal police officer doesn’t approve but will pray for him (not pay for him) .. interestingly the male puppy on offer photos showed him ‘sans penis’..
well spotted.. apart from all the other bad.ly,punctuated. .language clues!!
hello to you and thank you for your interest in my Dalmatian puppy.
Jimmy is a very adorable and loving puppy. He was a birthday gift for my
daughter who died last month.Jimmy was very attached to my
daughter, He always loves accompanying my daughter for walks.
Jimmy is 6 months old and in very good health condition with all his
vaccines. He has a health guarantee of of one year.I was in Australia
last month with Jimmy but after the death of my daughter I
decided to go and live far away from memories of my daughter and I believe that
the companion of Jimmy being with me,will give me the greatest pleasure because
he is the only thing that reminds me of my darling little girl.
But arriving in London I found that Jimmy has difficulties to adapt
with the climatic conditions over here,moreover,my landlord here does not cherish the keeping
of pets in his compound.This are the reasons why I decided re home Jimmy
and at a cheaper cost $300 including shipping fee to Australia.
But I want to be assured that you are a pet lover and will take good care of Jimmy
because that was the last wish of my daughter on her dieing bed knowing
that I can not take care of Jimmy.She wanted me let Jimmy to live in Australia
since Australia has the best climate for the survival of Jimmy since he is adapted to the climate already
so please if you see yourself or your family and your home able to show the love and care that my daughter had
shown to Jimmy.you are free to contact me for further inquiries about Jimmy and the transactions for his relocation
May God Bless you
I almost got scammed by these same people and I am so glad I checked out the resources before I gave out any personal information. I saw the ad on craigslist and was amazed at how fast I got a response. The ad was for a free yorkie which I already knew off gate was strange because yorkies usually go for 500-1000 dollars! I was anxious because I had been looking for an inexpensive yorkie for a long time. After receiving the email the women asked me a number of questions about me and told me she was giving up her dog because she had gotten a scholarship in Australia and couldn’t take the dog with her because of a quarantine law(which btw I lookd up also). After the 2nd email I was told all I would have to pay was 150 for shipping and that was it which I knew was also weird because she told me the puppy would be coming from cameroon. The next morning I received another email asking for my personal info which I wasn’t comfortale with in giving. I went back to craigslist to see if the ad was still up there and surprisely it had been took off! I emailed the woman back to ask her more information about the country,state that they the puppy would be coming from and the shipping company which I looked up also and saw where they do not even ship to or from all states. At first she did not answer my question and just kept asking for my address and phone number NOPE! I was not about to fall for it! I was a little heartbroken but I am also glad that I did not give out my info or send payment because I probably would of been scammed even worse. I have learned my lesson about craigslist and when I do decide to get a dog I will only reply to local breeders or go to the local shelter to purchase one. Here is the email and email address that the person sent me so you can add to your list. I do not understand why people want to treat other people this way, they don’t understand that we work hard for our money and that the country is in a recession. For them to scam people like this is a low blow!

Hey,
My Lovely Teacup Yorkie puppy is still available for adoption. She is Called Agie.She is very cute And Lovely Teacup Yorkie puppy. She is health registered and current on all shots and vaccines.She is an Assertive, Energetic, Affectionate and playful little baby.She has an Excellent temperament,Good pedigree and is house broken and Potty trained.She Just Weighs 2.4lbs So She Should Be Under 4lbs As An Adult.Agie is a very loving pet especially with kids. she is out for adoption to any home promising to take good care of her.Agie is 11 Weeks old.I am looking for any lovely home that can take Agie and give her enough care and attention which she needs,i will really love that you promise me that you are going to take good care of Agie for me,so in guiding me look for a lovely home for Agie,i will like to know the following from you:
Do you have kids?
If so,are they good with pets?
If Not then Do you have some one that will always play with her?
Have you ever raised (Owned) a puppy before?
Do you Own Other Pets?
How is your Working Schedule?
Are you getting Agie For your Self or for Some one Else?
Do you own a house if so Do you have something like a playground(Back Yard) where you can take the puppy to play on?
If not then is there some where like a A Park Near Your Home Where You can take her On Short Walks?
Do you want to Breed her?
How Soon Do you Want her?
I will be happy to get these details from you so that it can guard me in making a manual which the puppy can take along which will guard you on basics of taking care of her and also basics on feeding. My reason for Re-homing Agie is because I just got my Scholarship to further my course in Australia and the Australian Government does not allow Animals to get into their Country due to their Strong Quarantine restriction Law.I am Located in Northern Cameroon where the puppy will be coming from.I love my Puppy So much So i want her to go only to a loving and approved home.You will just have to take care of the shipping fee which will cost $150 for Agie and you will have to pay the money for the shipping directly to the shipping company that will be doing the transportation.I will be waiting to get these Information from you and you will assure me that you will take good care of the puppy for Me.
I wait to read from you ASAP.
Thanks
Hello.
So I do not know what to do. It seems like I am getting scammed by this lady who “lives in the cameroon, works for the peace corps, had a blue and gold macaw, and is willing to ship her to me free of charge.” At first she wanted $205 for shipping, cage and all, but now she says she will ship to me free of charge. The only thing she needs from me is my full name that will be on my drivers license when I pick her up at the airport. The ad appeared on Free Craigslist the other night and couldn’t believe it, but I replied anyways. Since free pets are not allowed in the free section it got wiped off, but she still replied to me later that day. Here are the emails. Please read, I need some help!
—-Me:—-
Hello!
If thisi is a legit ad, I am very interested. Please e-mail me back with info of when I could meet her etc.
Thanks!

Hi,thanks for your interest in my baby.Her name is Sandi.She’s 2yrs old
and in perfect health.She’s very friendly with kids and also enjoys the
company of other birds including cats and dogs.She’s well tamed and is a
real talkative.She’s very intelligent and always very curious to
learn.She’s not a screamer.She’s such a darling baby that I regret parting
with her but I’m left with no choice.I work with the American Peace Corps
and I’m currently in the British Cameroon where I took the baby to keep me
warm.Unfortunately the climate here is too harsh for her so I’ve decided
to send her back home to the U.S to anyone who can guarantee
her
welbeing.I’d be willing to let you
have her if you promise to take great
care of her and send me pictures from time to time to let me know how
she’s doing.You’ll just have to pay for her shipping back
home($205).She’ll come along with all papers including her vet
records,cage and other accesories.Below are some pictures of her.Let me
know if you can provide her with the good home she needs.I have some
questions for you,
1.Who are you living with?
2.Are they bird lovers too?
3.Have you had birds before?
Best Regards
—-Me:—-
Hi Valerie, (her full name appeared as the sender in my inbox)
Well I will definitely have to talk it over with my boyfriend first. He has been at
work at all day so I haven’t had a chance to talk to him. I would absolutely love
to take in your baby. I know how much mine means to me (I have a lil white
bellied caique) and I could only imagine how hard parting with him would be. I
have always loved birds and all other animals so I can assure you if I did take
her in she would be going to a fabulous home.
I live with my dad, lil bro and my bf and as of right now and my bf and I are
still in college. He lives with us right now because he just recently moved back
from out of state from another college. But I take the most care of Pogo and I
would be of Sani too, do not have a heavy load so I can still spend plenty of time
with mine and would be able to with her. My bf loves Pogo to death and he has
always been an animal lover like me so no problem there. It would take the most
time convincing my dad since she is a big bird.
The main problem I have is that I am rather broke at the moment. I definitely
have enough to feed my baby and if I got her, Sandi. Since she was posted on
free I was really hoping that I would have the chance to take in a bird that really
needed a home and I would only have to be buying food up front. The only for
sure thing I can say right now is, if you cannot find a home for her soon I would
absolutely love to take her in without the charge, we definitely have the space.
Let me know what you think, I can assure you she would be going to a
wonderful home.
Thanks!
-Dani 🙂
—-Her:—-
Hi,I’m willing to let you have Sandi.Atleast your experience with
birds reassures me she’ll be well taken care of.She’s very ready to
leave.I can dispatch shipment tomorrow if you’re ready.You’ll need to let
me know the nearest airport to you from where you’ll pick her up including
your full name as it will appear as the receiver’s name when you go for
pick up.Get back soon and we’ll proceed from there.
—So, she is willing to let me have her baby, free of charge, all she needs is my full name?—-Is this a scam or will I really be able to help out a bird in need?—-Please help!
Thanks so much,
Dani
I got cheated by an email ashley_mevu@yahoo.com.
who get cheated with this email as well?
I am so stupid that i bank in all my money to her and they acknowledge themselves by sending an email from the airport.This fucking fellow cheated me about $3000.I keep on sending money through western union and finally she didnot get back or update me anything anymore.I was like fucking disappointed I am having nothing now.I just wanted to present a puppy for my girl friend.In the end i got cheated!!
I really cannot believe that any of you people fell for these scams. You all really ought to pack your computers up in the original packing, and take it back to where you bought it from, telling the sellers that you are actually too stupid to own a computer.
What a self serving bunch of naive cretins you all are…

i contacted the fbi fraud they said they have hade problems with these people before doing this i have gave them all the info and copys of the emails they said that this guy Greg Mattisonhas done this several times before i have found out that it is best if you cant drive to see the pet and pay cash for it dont do it
Thanks so much for this article. I just emailed this same person, and they responded with the same sob story. Thank goodness I read this. Some people have no heart.
I was also scammed by a Christian Lady named Kelly Mascota from cameroon, Africa, she made up several stories very likely to yours! Beware!
well unlike some of u i was scammed , me and my fiance lost $150 trying to get a husky puppy , she told me it was her daughters dog . she told me her 7 year old girl was killed by a careless driver. and she wanted a christian home for the puppies .i had just recently lost my own husky , so i wanted to get the puppy i mailed her the money , and she “SENT” the puppy but the ‘airport’ need money for dog health insurance $780 . she told me it would be given back to me when the puppy arrived, i also gave her information to a friend so he can also get a dog luckily i found out before he sent his money in . i found out by looking up the address they gave me . but also the ‘husband’ called me and i could not understand him at all .so be carefull
ok hey I was going to buy a Rottweiler puppy form this people for 103.00 so yes cheap emailed her and her ad said located in Tulsa when she emailed me back she said she moved to Britism,Cameroon she was going to ship the puppy for free whated my home adress phone number nearest airport she just want the 103.00 do u think she is a scam too please email to let me know dont want to do somrthink dumb Thanks
yes it is definately a scam my husband and i were scammed the same way saying they needed insurance and a permit.
same thing hapend to me i put an add up on a website to see if anyone was selling a puppy boxer an this woman contaked making a story up that she was leaving for canda monday for a knee operation, she said she is a very god for spoken person, and she wanted a loving warm home for ” Bella ” pretending to be doing me a fava and giving me the puppy for free all i had to pay was the fee for delivery, cost me 141 pounds that i had to lend off my mum, i kicked up a fuss as i hadnt had a phone call off not one person i was gettin surspicous at this point.
so an african man called me i could not undrstand a word he sed. then i was definatly suspicous so i typed into the internet caeroon scams and found this website and many more so i emaild the “kind lady ” sayin this is a scam minutes later i received an emsil off ” jet set sayin they couldnt leave liverpool airport and that i had to pay £300 pounds more i was fuming and by this time i had relised and i called the police
i have names emails adresses i also have ther facebook acounts and i wont stop untill i get my money back
if i dont i will publicly humileate them like they humileated me
they have my address my number and full name im worried what they can do with that information scammers like this are a disgrace and i get cort
the fact that you have been scam does not mean that all cameroonians are scammers cause this is our legallise business you are dragging the image in mud.why don`t you have your puppies legally
yes you are all scammers u call that a buisnes scaming inacent people!!!!!!!!!! you make me sick i hope yuo and your ” buisnes ” live a gult ridden life in hell!
I was also just about scammed in the same manner. He loved his baby (puppy) so much, but was not allowed to bring her into the country. He is also in Cameroon (Victoria British) but he was on a malaria mission. He offered his purbread papered english bulldog for FREE if we paid the (undisclosed) transport costs. I knew something wasn’t right…. why can’t these people get caught????
I have been looking for a yellow lab and saw an add for one on a free add website in my local area. I sent an email regarding the pups and here is what I received back;
Hi .
Thank for your interest in our puppies. Tekila and Triny are 12 weeks old, and they are brave, very playful and friendly . they loves playing with kids and other pets at home . Tekila has been vaccinated, vet checked and comes with all his health records, passport, toys and crate.
We have Tekila and Triny as a gift for our 2-year-old daughter Alice. Unfortunately, she is allergic to the little angels and so we need a family or a person who can take proper care of Tekila and Triny.
We are currently moving to Victoria of Cameroon, where my husband is a lecturer at the Richmond American University. I am a nursing mother, so I’m at home almost all times. We would be pleased if we can find a good family or person that can take very good care of them . so Before we continue, we will know more about you and your family.
Do you have children?
Do you have experience with dogs?
Is someone in your family allergic to dogs?
Do you have a good vet in your area?
Do you have enough playground where Tekila and Triny can play?
We apologize for asking all this questions , we only want the best for Tekila and Triny.
As for transportation, we will arrange for transportation and delivery
to your address. Money is not our problem, all we need is a good home for our puppies. so you only pay for the change of ownership document which will cost you just 120$ for one puppy and both puppies will cost you 200$ o.k .
so if you are ready to pay for the change of ownership document and take very good care of the puppies then mail us back with all this addresses below so that i can start the flight arrangement of the puppies at the airport o.k

country
city or state
postal code

I thought it seemed to good to be true but didn’t know where Victoria of Cameroon was, so I sent another email asking where it was located.
Below is the next reply I received;
Hi.
thanks for the mail back and the interest you have on my sweet babies . i am very happy that you will take very good care of this babies o.k so since as this babies are for adoption . all you will pay to have one puppy is just 120$ for the change of ownership document and my husband is the one to take care of the shipping cost . i am located in the Victoria of cameroon and the flight of this babies will take just 5 hours from here to your home o.k so before we proceed . mail us back if you will take both puppies or one?

At that point I was totally on guard thinking it was a scam and sent her a reply stating no thanks.
I know posting the names or emails of the scammers do no good since they can be changed easily, but I was hoping o get there style of emails out so people can be more discerning regarding adds. I hope this helped, even if it helped one person, I’ll feel better.
I as well was almost scammed. This is the first email I got. I am so glad I found these emails from others, however we need to get these people caught. I am sorry for the people who lost money to these A*****ES!
Hello,
I just relocated in Yaounde where i got my new job as a medical doctor.I have Two puppies but the climate here is is too harsh for the health of my puppies. also, the condition my new job does not give me enough time to spend with my pets, so that is the main reason why i really want some person from any part of the world to adopt my pets for FREE adoption.They are good with kids and other dogs, i just want you to promise me that you will take good care of my pets. i don’t just want them to die here in this bad weather condition,then i will ship them to you.stay well i hope to read from you very soon.Thanks and call +23798459630 for more information If the number doesn’t go through is because you haven’t filled in your phone with an international calling credit.You need to buy an international calling credit before you would be able to go through my number.
I Sent this so called Doctor $170 for a puppy for my family he sent me a email telling me he was going to ship them out which was a lie. How can I be so stupid? I guess I got too excited. He called me after I sent the money and said everything will be done on Sunday I called him Sunday morning and told me he was at church wow how can fall for this. I tried calling him at the above number and could not get throught this is the exact email I got.
I also heard from this person, & it was the exact same e-mail! I gave her my name, I’m worried about what all they can do with just that information!
You are all very greedy people . If you were not thieves yourself why will you want to buy some animal that cost about $1200 for $150. because you are selfish and greedy . go to a pet shop . You have enough on till you are looking for an animal to take care of while they are people here suffering of hunger and poverty .
First off it has nothing to do with us as the consumer being greedy or thieves. You can’t tell me that you yourself would not ve looking for the best quality and the best price! I myself will pay what I have to but I work hard for my money and who gives others the right to rip other people off in order to make their living!
Ok little miss b***h. First of all I work for my money and if I chose to buy an animal via internet,than that is what I choose. I take it you are in Cameroon and you know what, you all are a P>O>S>. People who try ROBBING others for a buck or two isnt that damn hungry!These people sure knew how to work and use a computer, that does not tell me they are hungry in any sort. Plus, I know english is not the first language, so tell me, what was their intention?

Hello,
Thanks for the prompt response. Due to your message, i am convinced that the puppy will be spoiled with the best of care and love. So the puppy will be coming over to your home with all health and vaccination records, some toys, a puppy bed, feeding menu and all other accessories since i will have no use for them once the puppy gets to your home.
I am located in Cameroon where my husband works as an American peace corps volunteer so i will be flying the pup over to you from here. It is going to take some few hours for the puppy to be transported over to your location . It will cost you $125 if you want to pick the puppy up at your closest airport and a total of $150 if you want a doorstep delivery. So which do you prefer, home delivery or pick up at your closest airport? In order to proceed with the transportation of the puppy over to you, i will be needing your complete delivery information as follows:
Complete names :
State / City / Zip code :
House and street address : ( If you require a doorstep delivery )
Telephone numbers : ( Both home and cell )
Closest airport to your house
As soon as you send me your complete delivery information, we shall discuss transportation and payment details. Once i get your complete delivery information and the money, my husband shall immediately proceed with the transportation of the puppy over to your location and as soon as he is done, i am going to send you a copy of the flight ticket, the flight and delivery schedule for you to know when the puppy will be arriving your closest international airport and when the puppy will be delivered at your house address by the doorstep delivery agents. I am really happy that soon you will be getting the puppy and cannot wait to see pictures and updates once you get the puppy home. Waiting on a prompt response

This is where my conversation ended. After we emailed back and forth I noticed an attack message popping up on my computer from my virus protection software. This person texted me at 12:47 in the morning stating that she needed a prompted response. That was my first red flag.
The day we were “supposed” to get the puppy the scammers called me 27 times asking for more money. At 11pm they called saying the dog went to a diffenent state and promise we would get it the next day and it was leaving at3:45pm The next day at about 12pm they said it couldnt leave in tell the next day. The next day, they said they could not delivery in tell we payed another 1500!!!!!! the good thing is i was able to pay with my credit card and cancelled the pay meet. The people called and would not let me talk and told me to shut up and then the guy said he was going to call the cops on me because i called his company a scam. Talking to them was fun because they make up the stuped things. they also told me to stop calling them and they didnt give me a shipping numder and used more then one shipping company……
the shipping places they use was
Uship
uniquepetshippers.page.tl/TRACK-YOUR-ONLINE-DELIVERY.htm
and if you want to find out yourself call
757-818-8556
the message tell you it is a scam.
the scammers called me 27 times told me to shut up and to stop calling and asking questions. they wanted me to pay another 1500. they must of thought they were talking to another person bec they gave me 2 shipping places
uship
and
unqiuepetshippers.page.tl/TRACK-YOUR-ONLINE-DELIVERY.htm
if you want to hear it your self call…
757-818-8556
some of the people i was talking to didnt no anything!!!!
But it was fun to mess with them that was the best thing about it.
I’m on line right now with someone from Cameroon selling Yorkie puppies. Her name is Samantha Ngoria. Her Address is 23 St Helena Cala’s Village, Tiko, South West 00237. Another name she gave me (the person I’m supposed to send the money to is Hattie Babila. I told her I’d send her money after the deliver of the puppy. She said that was okay, we’ll see how that works out.
Don’t Fall For The Scam We Were Talking to Some Girl Name Ashley_holman@yahoo.com About 2 Cup Tea Yorkies Of Course She Was Christian And Bla bla She Wanted 300.00 to Ship Them From GA here in the US We Give Her Our Cellphone # When She Call She Call With A Private # And Sound It Like A MAchine She Wrote This Long Email Then I Decided To Google Her Email It Ashley_Holman@yahoo.com It Came To Be A Well Know Scam From “Cameroon Pet Scam” I Send Her Emails Of How MAd I Was Including The Picture Were It Said She Was A Scammer And I Got Nothing Back!! Really Weird When I Was Interested She Was Emailling Me Back Evey 10Min..
I think it is a scam. I also responded to an ad about someone giving away 2 Yorkie pups. The people said they were doing work with the World Health Organization in Cameroon. They wanted 120 to ship one dog or 240 to ship two. When I emailed and said I needed to check to see what the states rules were for bringing dogs into this country from Cameroon, I got an urgent email back saying not to worry they had already sent one pup to someone in the states and there had been no issue. They then asked that I give them my personal info and send the money right away. On the World Health Organization’s website there was a notice (when I clicked on contact)about the scams. I forwarded them them email the man had sent along with his claim he was working for them. I then emailed the man with the pups and told him that after finding out there has been a problem with scams from that area that I felt it better to purchase a pup closer to home. If someone is going to try this I would suggest you contact a US airline to see what the procedure is and pay the airline yourself.
I almost fell for this scam too! For 2 teacup yorkies. The red flag was when we finished corresponding at 6:15 AM on a Saturday and about an hour later he had just come back from making the arrangements at the “pet delivery agency”…so, unless the pet delivery agency is right next door there’s no way he could have been back that quick. He claimed to be in NJ; his name was Greg Mattison and the pet delivery agency name used: Azongwa Elvis Fru in Bastos Yaounde Cameroon. Hope this helps and prevents others from falling for this scam!
Yesterday I almost got scammed. I wanted a yorkie puppy also. I was suspose to Western Union money to a Lesley Ekinde in Tiko Camroon. I bought it from a Waren Gary in Portland Oregon. So this must be another name they are using. I just want people to know.
why can’t someone develop a virus and attach it to a file to send back to them and shut them down
My Fiance and I have been looking for an English bulldog for our son and my father who is a retired Marine. When I FINALLY found an add that i was sure to be too good to be true I decided to jump on it. I was responding with this man that calls himself Maxuel Jacklins. He wanted everything to be so rushed. He wanted all my info to change the licensing papers and such, he told me to be at home at 9am the next morning for delivery even though i told him multiple times I wouldn’t have the money for another week and a half. I felt so horrible for him considering he told me some bullshit story about his wife being killed by a drunk driver last week. and that him and his kids were too sad looking at the pups. I received a phone call this morning from the shipping company and it was a man i could barely understand and was calling me from Portland, OR even though the man said he was in Savannah, GA. Then he called me again later in the day from Montana! HE also sent an email that was totally bogus didn’t even look professional. So i looked on BBB and called the company they were pretending to be and they told me there was no reservation for the dogs and it was a scam. The man on the phone kept telling me I needed to pay the money. Then he said he would pay the 400 reg. fee for the ticket then turned right around and said he would pay 200 of the fee and when i paid he would get reimbursed. Luckily once I knew once he wanted me to pay through western union it was a scam no legit pet Currier uses Western Union. When i kept telling him i wasn’t going to pay until he was standing on my porch with the pups i could tell he was getting madder and madder, he kept pushing me to pay and when I finally screamed at him that i wasn’t making any kind of payment until the puppies were at my door he told me not to shout or he would take the puppies back. I knew there were no puppies so I told him to take the damn puppies back and he hung up on me. All i know is that he will meet his judgment when he dies and he will burn in hell along with the rest of them for taking advantage of innocent people. Later my fiance and I went looking for another pup and yet again I was duped, by a man that calls himself Pearson Elisha from water town, SD. selling the same type of dog, when i demanded to know who would be shipping the dogs and how to contact them he gave me a GMAIL account(southdakotapetsairport001@gmail.com) and a satelite number of 011237-9948-2643. I called the number and sure enough it was from Cameroon. This time I was cracking up because I had found another little fucker that thought he would get over on us. Thank god neither of them got any of our money! I hope all of you are more careful shopping for puppies and you dont get ripped off. They better hope I never travel to Cameroon or theyll all be regretful for telling lies and using Christ as their lies!

I too was closed to being “gotten” This lady name Brenda Mollin from Belton TX was giving away 2 Maltesa puppies. She was trying to keep them together and to a good home. Stated they had all shots, pottey trained, 13 weeks old, send cute pictures, named them Leorna, and Leo (I think)I saw the add in the pennysaver. I got a email within minutes. After telling me about them she ending her email with God Bless you. I replied I only wanted one and was in Ca. next thing she says she will contact a pet shipper and it would only cost $50 for one or $100 for two dogs and I would have them at my door within hours, that I would have to pay to delivery company directly. When i asked why she was giving them away she never answered that ? or others. I told her I couldn’t get one until April 1, next email she said she took the dog to the airport. Which means she must have lived 5 min’s away. Within an hour I got a call from someone who could not speak clearly. Telling me “just” check my email that he was from the shipping location and “Mr.” Brenda Mollin just dropped off a dog for me. When I tried to get info from him he hung up on me. Then I called the number back and it was no good. Reading the email it stated to send $100.00 via western union or walmart in Cameroon. Once sentence it said they will ship it via the airlines at no charge to me, next sentence it said I would get info on how to get the dog to me. Badly written email. Signed Dr. Lee Lee Roy. Worst part of this rip off is how she used the lord’s name in vain. Something has to stop this fraud. I see it has been on going for years. well they didn’t get my $50 or 100 nor did I get a $400 dog. The old saying “if it sounds to good to be true it probably isn’t true.”
Hello Tiffany,
I am sorry you had to pass through all these. Actually, in every country, there are scammers who take it as a means of making their own living. Nevertheless, I want to assure you that you can make a good find even here in Cameroon. Godd a thing you did not fall intt the trap. Plaase do not have a bad inpression about this country. Infact, I love it the way it is cuz it is even better than others. Hope you finally got one. If you need any assistance from here, you can always count on me.
Thanks, PHIL.
Ik was verkocht aan een chiwawa hondje dat gratis weg mocht! Na een mailke kreeg ik te horen dat ze 150 euro wilde voor het vervoer en 50 euro voor de adoptie. Ook verhalen zoals hierboven te lezen staat….
Ze zijn nog steeds aan’t oplichten! Kan hier dan echt niets aan gedaan worden?
People, this discussion does not make sense. Yes there are scammers out there. They earn their bread at our expense, it is illegal and some of us bite the bait and pay. Naming e-mail addresses is futile. They change names at will. Understanding their systems and informing people is important.
I’m trying to warn people who have not yet been scammed. The mode is similar in all these cases. a new twist today: a young girl was stupid (excuse my wording)enough to give her account number to the scammers. They now have her name, address, phone number and account number, as well as a few of her credit card numbers for good measure. They just wanted to be helpful when the payment to Western Union didn’t go through. That was a week ago. I told her to close all accounts and cards and go to the police on Monday.
Yesterday she got back to me. She had discarded my advice. Suddenly a lot of money had been transferred into her account. This was a windfall and she had gone on a shopping spree. Then the threats started to arrive…
I informed her that she was now a “mule”. She had zero idea what this meant. When she was told that she had to pay the money back to those who thought they were paying for a puppy, her answer was “I cannot do that, I have spent it all.”
For her sake I hope that she goes to the police before the police comes to her.
What to look out for in scams:
1. Rather helpless language translated by Google.
2. A wonderful picture of the animal. No wonder, the scammers have the net to their disposal.
3. A wonderful price. The animal is either free for adoption or ridiculously cheap.
4. No way to contact them except by mail.
5. The answer to your inquiry is in bad English/Spanish/German or whatever language you have used in the first place.
6. The ensuing story is one of suffering and religious zeal.
7. The payment is to be made to Western Union or similar.
8. Cameroon is the most common place for the scammers but Easter Europe is popular for scamming Europeans.
What we need is an effort to make the ad pages responsible, and force them to stop the scam ads when they are reported. There are many helpless and gullible people around. Those who have been scammed must swallow their pride and help newspapers and other media making people aware of what is going on.
i am in how can i help

Good luck dog lovers
if i could help i would , ik a few people who know how to make web sites . i was thinking of making one about these a**holes sorry but im extremely upset at them .
I know how you feel. I was almost scammed out of $150 for a teacup yorkie puppy. Thank God for google and you people on these sites i was able to catch them. I figured out that it was a scam. I decided to have some fun with the low life s.o.b. by the name of Mr. Billy Brown. He said he was from Anchorage Alaska but then gave me this bulls*** story about moving to Cameroon temporarily for “business reasons”. So i asked him what business he sold me this line about it wasn’t really business but a higher calling that he was doing a missionary trip red flag #1. so i asked where the dog would be shipped from he told me anchorage alaska when just an hour before he told me that due to size restrictions in his housing complex that the dog could not stay with him anymore(in Cameroon). DON’T BELIEVE A WORD ANY OF THESE LOW LIFES TELL YOU!!!!! THEY ALL NEED TO GROW A PAIR AND GET A REAL JOB LIKE THESE UNFORTUNATE PEOPLE THAT HAVE FELL VICTIM TO THESE SCAMS!!! THESE A** HOLES NEED TO BE CAUGHT NOW BEFORE ANYONE ELSE IS SCAMMED!

Had the same thing happen to me. I recieved an email from the so called shipping company in cameroon. email looked legit said it was located in anchorage alaska. This is where the guy(Mr. Billy Brown) was located. But im from Tn right on the NC state line and the shipping company’s phone number had 828 area code which is an NC area code. So i emailed the guy and he gave me some B.S. story about that was one of there branches. I looked on through the email and it gave me instructions to send money to Ngwa Calvine in Cameroon. The guy said that Ngwa Calvine was the Cameroon branch manager. Thanks to you people i was able to catch this guy before he scammed me out of $150 for a teacup yorkie. Gave me the same crap everybody else is getting. Free for adoption pay shipping only then when i caught him he sold me that bulls*** line that he lost his grandma and the dog makes him think of her. Please people if you see this before you fall victim to these low lifes, Please don’t believe any of it. These s.o.b’s are selling the same lines to everyone and its all BULLS***!!!!!
We came across this scam from a susanlewis2011@live.com who claimed she was giving up two sibrian huskies for free adoption. The post read she was in Albuquerque New Mexico but then when we emailed her she said she had to go to florida. All she wanted was $260 for the pups ok harmless enough. Then a guy started to call saying they wanted more money and like idiots we payed. In doing so we lost it all and wouldn’t you know it no pups. If we had only come across this sooner we would have only lost the 260.The information was all the same and the same events took place only it was Douala Cameroon and to a Benjamin Quintin Akoegbe.
I responded to a craigslist ad in the baltimore, md area about some rare color morph ball pythons… Her name was theresa chebesi… She said the snakes were free but u had to pay the shipping which she stated was $320. I told her that I would rather come look at the snake in person b4 I get it… She said she was located in new lakes kamerun (I’m guessing cameroon?).

I have this scam and another in my email right now. the other is.. “360$ Two Female English Bulldog Puppies For X-mas(james.deddy@yahoo.com)”
this is the best article ever, serious but funny!
I agree with the make sure they are local. besides why would you want to ship an animal.. specially a puppy. I dont think that puppies are aloud to ship until a certain age anyways.
Hi
I live in Jersey Channel Islands and have just nearly been scammed. A lady posted an advert selling Husky pups. I emailed her and she sent me photos I picked a puppy and she said she would sort our shipping to me. The Courier contacted me and said I had to pay £250,00 by money Gram to this account
NAMES………….Ngu Louis Nji
COUNTRY………Cameroon
CITY…………Douala
ZIP CODE……….00237
AMOUNT………£250
But it rang balls at the post office and they told me to check it out. The company had copied a logo from an American air pet company and just changed phone numbers and faxes to theirs.
I was lucky I did not send the money but was disapointed as I really wanted the puppy.
It makes me so angry to think that these people get away with stealing money from people who can not afford to lose it
i am talking to a MORGAN JAMES email is morganjames100@yahoo.com I am trying to get 2 macaws and they said that there is only a charge of 500.00 for the transport and then when i got up i recieved another email saying from the TRANSALLWORLD PET TRANSPORT that they need 950.00 for the insurence i have been trying to find out more info for my birds.. so pissed rite now it ain’t funny i could bite fire. let me know if anyone else has had problems with this MORGAN JAMES dude.

UK LONDON BRANCH
YOUR PET LEFT CAMEROON SOME HOURS AGO
Dear client,
The Pets Control Department, after our custody on transit of your parrots at the final check Point Terminal 1 at UK LONDON wishes to bring the following to your attention:
1. Following the UNITED STATES Aviation’s Commission Rules and Regulations on Pets Transportation and section 12 sub paragraph 2, “… the life of all animals being transported from One country to another must be fully Insured by an Insurance Cooperation at the country of Origin against any eventuality.
2. Following a compromise between the US Aviation’s Complaint Commission and the African Financial Commission, it was concluded that “..the life of all pets being transported from Cameroon to any other country or state will be insured and this insurance fee should vary from one pet to another depending on Financial Value of the Animal.
3. We also wish to let you know, according to the US Price Determination Commission, the price of any GREEN WINGED MACAW breed is $950.
From the above, the Life Insurance fee you are supposed to pay for parrots which is $1900 for your parrots and your parrots can travel through its life time without any problems.
Due to a good number of complaints by clients about this Insurance Scheme, the Management of this International Airport authorities in collaboration with the US aviation Commission came out with a Partial Refundable Animal Life Insurance Scheme,which provides for the following:
* You could use our Partial Insurance Scheme to Insure your parrot’s Life for half the cost of the full Insurance fund for the parrot which will be refunded to you once your parrot is delivered to you this afternoon .
* This means you will have to pay the sum of $950 for your parrots which is half the initial Insurance fee for your parrots which gives you a total of $950 of which $950 will be refunded to you when your Parrots are being delivered to you at your home by our pet carrier
* Insurance Cost……………………$950
*
You have no need to worry because the Insurance company will refund you with $650of the money you send since they give up to100% coverage.
NB:YOU ARE REQUESTED TO DO THE PAYMENT WITHIN THE NEXT 30 MINUTES SO THAT YOUR BIRDS CAN BE ON FLIGHT AT THE UK AIRPORT AND WILL GET TO YOUR LOCATION WITHIN 3 HOURS MORNING WITH YOUR MONEY FULLY REFUNDED TO YOU
REASONS WHY YOUR PARROTS NEEDS INSURANCE AND WHY WE IMPOSED A RESTRICTION TO SHIPPING PETS WITHOUT A LIFE INSURANCE
1.) WE RECENTLY PAID CHARGES OF $16.000USD TO ONE MRS ANNE MARIE CASTELLANOS BECAUSE HER PUPPIES CONTRACTED AN ILLNESS WHILE IN OUR CARE , WE WERE TAKEN TO COURT AND WE HAD TO PAY HER FOR THE CHARGES AND WE LOST ALL THIS MONEY BECAUSE HER PUPPIES NEVER HAD INSURANCE AND THAT’S WHY ADOPTED THE NON-SHIPPING POLICY FOR PUPPIES/PETS WITHOUT INSURANCE ……..
2.)PET EXPRESS -INSURANCE SECTOR WILL COMPENSATE YOU FOR ALL YOUR SPENDING S IN CASE OF ANY ILLNESS YOUR PARROT CONTRACTS WHILE IN OUR CUSTODY ..
3.)IN CASE OF ABANDONMENT OF PARROT/PETS AT OUR CUSTODY, OUR INSURANCE SECTOR WILL CARE FOR THE PARROT IN TERMS OF FEEDINGS AND HOUSING AND WILL CHARGE THE OWNER OF THIS PARROT FOR THE ABANDONMENT OF PETS-LIVESTOCK IN GENERAL.
All payments to the insurance sector is made directly to where the pet was initially shipped.
