Is there any way I can get my money back?

No.

I have the transaction letters from western union and I used my credit card

You purchased a transaction with Western Union using your credit card, it was delivered, your Credit Card company cannot help you.

I have the people's information I sent the money to.

The details are fake and completely worthless.

I think that I am being scammed right now as well, I was talking with a man located in NYC about adopting his bird, he said that he was having a service send me his bird and this is what the service sent to me. Thank You very much for your site because I almost fell for it!! I did get pictures of his wife, the bird and a copy of his drivers license! If you would like that I will send it.

Any mention of payment before you actually SEE the animal is a fraud. Any mention of Cameroon or other African nations in conjunction with pets, free or otherwise are frauds. You cannot import live animals like this.

I contacted James Smith after an ad in the local Greensboro News and Record and was directed to the very same Winston Gale. I have contacted the newspaper and they have frozen his account. The local police have put me in touch with Federal Authorities. Did you find someone who was scammed by these same people? I would really like to put a stop to these ruthless theives.


I was gullabe and believed these scammers, too. Fortunately, because of my husband's keen sense, I googled "puppy scam" to find this site and many more. The scammers that emailed me followed the scam almost to the tee of what the scam sites have said. SICKENING!!!!

For the record - here are the names of my scammers:

Sharon Smith sharonsmithsss@yahoo.com

Winston Gale winstongale@gmail.com

They even sent pictures! GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
And all this was initiated by my response to an ad in our LOCAL newspaper!

my girlfriend fell for this and it cost us £300 so far and there waiting for another £250 which they wont be getting. first of all they where in my city which is in england when she made contact they told us they had just moved to scotland and the landlord wasnt going to let them keep the dog. if we still wanted the dog she would give it away for next to nothing but we would have to pay the shipping fee. so being fools she agreed we sent the money by moneygram and got an email saying the time the dog would arive. few hours later we got another email saying that the insurance hadnt been paid and that the seller should have told us we had to pay it and that we would get 9o% back in cash when the dog was delived thats when the alarm bells start to ring.lol

here are the emails so you can know who they are.

the person selling was

the shipping company was

English Bulldog Scam site:

http://www.dreamhome4bulls.110mb.com/

From this scammer dreamhome37@yahoo.com:

"i have two boys and two girls,like i said before, im not realy into selling my cuties, because each time i think im giving them away, it hurts,but then i don't have any choice, i can not keep them, not because they are not healthy, they are very healthy and will be coming with one year health guarantee and all paperworks,the only reason am giving this puppies away is because, ever since my wife and my daughter that worked with the dog rescue passed away, thinks have not been the same again,because after my author car crash, my doctors says i may not be able to use my legs again, and you know what that means, it means, there will be no one to carter for my cuties again, no one to take them out for a walk at the beach, no one to play around with them, so i think what is best for these cuties is a very lovely home out there, so that is the reason i only want to find loving homes for them on adoption. since they will come with all paperworks."

Similar deal here, I figured I'd let you guys know, I was suspicious from the start, but played along until cash was requested by paying at the post office. Here are the emails, the important things to note are fastwaypets_courier@deliveryman.com and harrison.wells@yahoo.com the former is obviously a fake email address, the latter is a free account.


Hi,

I saw your advertisement for a Maltese teacup ***** and am very
interested, I live in xxx, could you give my mother a call on
xxxxx or email me and let us know if she is still available.

Thanks,

Daniel.



The puppy is home raised, beautiful and cooled temperament.She is raised as a
family pet.She is given lots of love and special attention and will expect
even more love and attention with her new family.Thanks f or the concern you have for her.She is 12weeks of age.She is potty trained and has a good relationship with other pets and kids in the house hold.For the concern you have for my little puppy i will like you to promise me of monthly updates and pictures so i know haw she is doing with her new family.She is healthy vet checked,registered and is com ing along with a year health guarantee certificate. Playful to as she is,she demands lots of attention because she likes playing and rubbing her belly on the ground. You will not regret having her as a home pet,she will be a very nice and close companion for you and my priority is not the asking price but a nice home for her .. I'm presently located in Ireland and will be transporting the puppy from here.She will go for £210 including delivery..Hope to read from you soon.



Hi,

Yes monthly pictures/updates would be no problem, she sounds like a lovely puppy, she would get lots of attention from my mother and goddaughter, and probably our cat too, my aunt also lives next door with her cavalier king Charles spaniel who I'm sure would love a friend to play with.

Could you send more details, how you want payment (if you are delivering her cash would be easy), how she will be transported etc.

Thank you,



Thank you as well and i greatly appreciate the fact that you love her.she is called Lilly,so far all i want for her is a wonderful caring and loving home,that is my priority so monthly updates will be greatly appreciated.she will be delivered at your home by the delivery agency that i will be using.
All the same when precisely will you want me to get her transported and delivered?i need to know so that i can re-arrange my own schedule to get her to the delivery agency that will be coming with her.so i will probably need your full names,phone number and detailed address.with all that i will arrange the delivery.
When i get her to the agency they will get your information and contact you on precise time that she will be delivered to your address.you will be paying the transportation to the delivery agency directly.




That sounds good, any time would be fine, the details are

xxxx

phone xxxx

The price is still £210? And we pay that to the agency directly when they deliver the puppy? She has no credit card so cash will be easiest.

Thanks,

Daniel.



With the information i will be able to send her over without any trouble.I will be sending her with a hand book that will inform you more on her diet,feeding habits,hobbies including her like and dislikes. tomorrow morning is good because i will be free from morning till noon.so i can get her to the delivery agency tomorrow morning say before 8:00 AM and arrange for the delivery so that she can arrive in the afternoon.what do you think?
I will get all your information to the delivery agency and they will check her and inform you on how to make the payment and related issues like time of arrival.they told me that the payment is usually done through post office.i do not know much about that but they will direct you on haw to do that through phone or email! .so will you be comfortable to get her tomorrow?you will pay the agency directly and the amount is £210.best regards.



Hi Daniel,
Trying to pack Lilly's stuffs together.just an advise.before bringing Lilly Home make sure you have removed from her space any toxic house plants,chemicals,electrical cords that look like they would be fun to chew, small articles that could be swallowed, cleaning chemicals, or open holes in anything large enough for her to wiggle into.. You also take her to the vet within the first week alongside with the short records i will be sending,Your vet will be able to look at them and establish a vaccination schedule for her.i will be sending her over with her things,like toys remain of her canned food stuffs,feeding bowls and brushes? all that will have no use here.one more thing,the agency told me that they will inform you on payment and delivery via email tomorrow morning so make sure that you check your mails in the morning.i will talk to you when i get back from the agency tomorrow.thank you and best wishes.don't forget to inform me when she gets home ok.email your names please. talk tomorrow.




So what do you say? i am still expecting confirmation from as to if i will deliver the puppy tomorrow.




Yes that would be great, can you email xxxx tomorrow as I will probably not be able to check my emails in the morning, I will leave the rest to her.

Thanks again,

Daniel.



Ok i will do just that.stay well and extent my regards.i will get her to the agency very early in the morning.

Funny how they are both from the same network eh? I will report them to AFRINIC and see if I can get them blacklisted, little hope but I can try, I did consider a threatening reply, but it isn't worth the risk and hassle.

I find all of this too surreal. I recently found an add at buyandsell.com for two tea cup yorkies for adoption. There names are Bella and Cassie. I inquired about them and here's the reply I recieved.

Hi Dear

I am so impressed with your inquiry about adopting my babies.i have
been looking for a home for them for a while now but not only a home
but a forever home for them. firstly let me tell you about them.they
are called Cassie And Bella . they are registered with this animal
registration club Akc, and is veterinary checked and vaccinated and
have all health records till date and housing documents ..... So i am
giving them for free because of my work which makes me not to have
much time for them and the one who usually took care of them was my
late sister (Mariam) and she's no more so now i work very far and see
them about once in 3 days so thats why i am giving them away also the
are having shortage of pet food and also the harsh climate here makes
me feel sorry for them . they are very sensitive baby and possesses
the following

-they are house Trained
-they do not bark a lot.
-they eat 2 times daily and at afternoons she drink Milk .
-they are socialized with kids and other house hold pets .
-they are current with all her shots till date
-they are a portable Pure Breed Tea Cup babies.
-they likes to be carried a lot and be spoiled.
-they likes to be kissed
-they gets angry when you shout at her, so don't do that.
-they are 11 Weeks old and weighs 3ibs but are expected to weigh upto 4ibs at full grown age like thier parents.

*Registered

*Micro-Chipped (In case ever lost or stolen)
*Current on all vaccinations

So
for delivery i am in the North Western Region of Cameroon. and there is
no need for delivery problems because they already have a free Airfare
ticket to where ever they are to go and i am not charging any thing
from you but what is require is a fee for their ownership documents
and papers which will carry your names to prove that you truly own the
babies . so the cost for one of the documents is $80. so as soon as you
pay for the papers, you will have them home.so i am giving them to a home where they will be loved and catered for and i see you will provide all i need for them. so promise
me that you will take good care of them.

So i promise you that all you will pay and have this babies home is
$160 and thats to complete the documents with your full names on which
will prove that you now own the puppies . so please to show me you
will carter for them well provide me the following information
1. Will you take care of them.?
2. Hope you want them asap.?
3. How soon do you need them home.?
4.Where are you located.?
5. Are you a breeder.?
6. Do you think on breeding them .?
7.Do you have a yard where they could play there.?
8.Whats
your full names and where are you located so that we could prepare on
signing the remaining papers with your names on then you have them
home.? Also hope you want them.
N.B
you can still adopt one of them. so if you can't afford for both then
you can have if and only if you will spoil her with love and care.
Thanks for all and waiting on a positive reply from you .
below are the photos for both Bella and Cassie.
God Bless You


After I insisted the transfer of ownership could be done online, she ignored all questions there after, only insisting that I send her the money. Being soft-hearted as I am and after numerous "assurances from "sandra" aka Sirri Albertine, I gave in and sent her the money via Western Union. Luckily I caught the name difference and googled her. I found all of these postings with her name all over them. Fortunately I was able to recover my money before she recieved it, but she does have all of my information now...my name, address, telephone number. Thanks a million for posting her dishonesty and conartistry. You all saved me $100 and a lecture from my husband!!!

:cry:

I was also recently scammed.... they assured me that alll I had to pay for my puppy was the 97.00 return flight home fee and then when the puppy never showed up they called and asked for more money and even have gone so far as tell me that the puppy delivery people are held up in Atlanta due to them misplacing the papers.

They even went as far as sending me flight confirmation that she had arrived... and then later told me she was still in Atlanta. Were I received an email this morning stating she still was and needed some info before she could be brought to me. I just told them that I would have my brother who is an attorney in Atlanta come to the airport and pick her up, I still have not heard anything back from them, and after seeing the other posts like this I know for sure now this was a scam! Thank you for the info!

Here are the names, addresses, phone numbers and email addresses used

Achy Serge (cutiesnow30@yahoo.com) 011237 94260532. - the "seller" who was by all means the very niceset person I have ever come in contact with IF he wasnt a thief

EMBRACE VETERINARY PET INSURANCE, CAMEROON (contact-vpi@insurer.com) - they needed more money before she could get on the flight for additional shots _ I refused to pay so the owner had to (supposedly)


pet.animalsaway@deliveryman.com (Mr Dereke) This is supposed to be the guy delivering my animal who is stuck in Atlanta because he misplaced papers. And this was also the same email address used to tell me that my puppy had arrived from France, and was in my City and a bunch of other B.S


(this email address does not even work for the Ministry but was given to me from the person above to say I needed to contact them and get the city permit - Ive owned a lot of dogs and never heard of a city permit)

I played with this one for a bit just to see how far she'd go.

Jecy Reeves...advertised in Kentucky, then said she was in the UK, then when questioned on her location and told it's illegal to import monkeys to the States, she stated she was in Ontario California. Her IP(77.220.15.130) is actually in Africa. Her pet "Shipper" was also in Africa..Cameroon to be exact (no surprise there). Her email is: jecyreeves@yahoo.com; telephone: 07023010625

Hostname: 130-15-220-077.static.iwayafrica.com
ISP: Afsat Communications Ltd


Supposedly, she had a marmoset monkey.

The "shipper" actually used a real internet logo in their email from what appears to be a legit company in Virginia. However, that company has nothing to do with shipping animals of any kind anywhere.

Below is the response I got JUST HOURS ago on an inquiry for a yorkie puppy. I have been corresponding with someone from Cameroon for days regarding a bulldog puppy. I had told the person that I had been emailing with that I would pay the airline directly but by the sound of the stories here that would have been a giant mistake too! I would have NEVER sent money western union but after receiving this email & seeing Cameroon AGAIN I started to research & found this page. Thank you so much for the information!!

sent today from larrywood2007@yahoo.com



Hi,
Thanks for your mail regarding my puppy....she is still available to anyone prepared to provide her with enough care and love,where she will be well spoil with all her need.....she is 11 weeks old and has very good temperament with kids and other pets,very playful love to play around with toys and kids,she is health guaranteed and DNA tested.....she is up to date on all her shots and will be coming along side her health papers and vet records. a very intelligent and highly social puppy......she is called Tilly and i am actually giving her out because she belonged to my daughter(Jenner) but with a heavy heart i lost Jenner and she was all i got ,i work with a global,broad-based health care company devoted to discovering new medicines, new technologies and new ways to manage health.Jenner died in an accident last 3 weeks on her way back from her piano classes and i have very bad memories when i see this puppy around me,because she was always together with her since i am always busy in the laboratory.i really need to give her to someone who can really care and love her just the way Jenner used to.Tilly has been very lonely since Jenner passed away so the best thing i decided on as my colleague advised me was to send her to a loving home .i really count on you if you can be there for this puppy..I am located in Cameroon.....Please may i also ask you a few questions?
where are you located?
are you a breeder?
do you have kids?
Can you also promise that you will take good care of her?

How soon are you ready to have her home?
At least with this informations,i will get to know better where she will be going to.......See her pictures below.i just hope you will love her.....I will also like you to promise me that you will always send her pictures to me monthly so that i can see how she is doing in your home......Below is an attachment of her most recent pictures for you to see.i will be waiting for your mail asap.
thanks and God bless

This is the correspondence between myself & some crook. I was very skeptical to begin with but the fact that after I indicated that no payment would be sent until I had the puppy, & they still emailed me with info. is very convincing! Please do not be fooled!!

Wow! We were not expecting such a fast date! Is there any possibility of a flight at the end of this week to give us a few days to prepare? We want to be sure that we have everything ready for him when he gets here. As for payment, we would need to receive confirmation that the puppy is on the way to us before we can send money of course but that will be no problem. I hope that these arrangements will not be a problem for you as we are very excited!
We look forward to hearing from you!

Hello
Thanks for the mail and sorry for the late response. Well i was at the airport to verify if there was and available flight for your location. The airport officials confirmed to me that there is a late night flight for today.. So if you would love to recieve the puppy later today just go ahead and mail over to me the names of the nearest airport to your location and also you phone number so that the puppy can have a complete registration for your location. Well the puppy will cost 300 us dollars . This includes the transportation and home delivery charges of the puppy from my location to your location
Well as concerns the payment that will not be a problem for you are going to send the money via the westernunion post bank office. This will only be done when i have done the complerte registration of the puppy for your location .
thanks and hoping to read from you soon.
God Bless You .

Hi,

We definitely want to adopt one of your puppies! We would prefer the male but a female would also be fine. We have raised puppies before and my mother has our Westie with her now. We have just recently moved to a home with a large fenced backyard that would be perfect for our new pet! We are very excited about the possibility of a new member of our family! My fiance' has ALWAYS wanted a bulldog puppy so this would be the perfect time to adopt! Now we just need to know what to do to begin the adoption process & get our precious new puppy to us.. In the past, I have gotten our puppies from local breeders so I am new to adopting from a long distance away. Please send me any information you have or instructions & costs for having the puppy sent to us.


Thank you so much for your quick response & I look forward to hearing from you! We are so excited!!!

Sincerely,

Hello,
Yes this puppies are still available as you will see their recent pictures in the file attached bellow. We are giving this puppies out for adoption because we want to relocate back to Germany since we are here in Victoria Cameroon for Crusade , right now we have 1 male and 2 female puppies both of 10 and 11 weeks old, they are well trained vet checked and recently vaccinated they are raised among pets and other animals.
we are not selling this puppies because we are not sure you can buy the love we have for them so we are just giving them on adoption to any caring home.
so all will need from you is to promise us that you will take very good care of this puppies. so that you email to let us know how soon you need the puppies, if you have raised a puppy before, if you have yard for them to play on, and also you full names and addresses i wait to read from you Regards

Hello,
I've been communicating with someone in the U.K ( I am in the U.A.E) to send me a cat he is putting up for adoption, well I got this email which has the name of Ladyhaye , and I am just guessing if this is actually an email from them because when I came across your site stating some scams happening from the CAMEROON, DOUALA, 00237, I very much also trust this agency as I asked many, but this is kind of worrying me, but I would seriously want to know if this is for real, I also got a call from the number +23776246680, which is a Cameroon number, today asking me if I had done the payments and WHEN I will be paying and asking me if I read the email, this made me even more worried. The guy I was communicating with aswell did know how much I had to pay exacly (500dhs). I would be more than happy if you cleared my doubt. Thanks in Advance.
P.S. I even forwarded this email to Ladyhaye asking them the same, but I guess I get a faster answer here.

It's a scam, just like the other 52 pages-worth of pet scams. There's so much red tape involved in shipping pets from country to country that you can virtually guarantee any offer of a pet from another country is a scam.

Sending money by Western Union is like throwing cash down a dark alley. Once someone picks it up, it's gone, and you have no hope of getting it back or identifying the person who picked it up.

Hello,

Yes I have not found one yet, if you do have one with the specifications I mentioned then that's really great, but first I have to know where do you reside and would also like to see the kitten and know about it and if it's for adoption or for a price, because I almost fell for a pet scam and was advised to know about the seller before I give an ok, if it's even ok to see your kitten living in it's current environment if you live in Dubai or somewhere near Dubai. Thanks in advance.

I recently looked in MarketPlace in Facebook looking for a t-cup yorkie, and of course he told me the puppy would be free, just pay the shipping of $150. He/she?? told me his/her whole "sob-story" about how he's a doctor from New York, but he's been relocated to Cameroon for the HIV/Aids seminar... They told me how they just wanted someone to love and care for their "babies" and asked if i was a breeder and all these """"caring"""' questions... He kept telling me how he was a "God-fearing man" ...and his name was MARY KESTEN...isn't that a girls name? and his email address was kid.jessica@yahoo.com i never gave him my location, because things just were NOT matching up but every single time he emailed me he asked for my home number, cell number, home address, nearest airport...things that sort of looked legit. But I googled bamenda, cameroon, where he said he was, and this website was at the top and i clicked on it and found all this...this was his/her?? contact information he gave me :
+237 79369029 or 00237 79369029

full names..........NCHE CLETUS
country..............CAMEROON
home address........SAINT PAUL STREET NKWEN
street address........NKWEN
state....................BAMENDA
zip code................. 00237

.... and look, there's a 3rd name he's given me haha... so i wrote him back and told him i knew he was a scam and he told me i had no worries because he was again, a "God-fearing man" and that "this can not be if it were true God would be very angry with me".... DONT FALL FOR THIS!!!!!!!!!! thank goodness i found this website and didn't lose bunches of money!!!!!

Hello,

The Python is now in Belfast International Airport in Uk and has been held for refundable insurance they further explained to me that this money they are asking is going to be refunded back to you cash at the time of delivery of the python O.k so you have to get in contact with the airport now to see how you can do to get the python continue his flight to your location O.k.
I have already used all my money to pay for his flight not knowing that the insurance papers expiered so the airlines are saying that we have to pay in the money before the python can continuse his flight .

My response :
Well there is nothing I can do, I suggest you get your snake back to you. I have also forwarded all our emails to the international fraud department. So I can file a claim against this airlines and have sent them your name and all of your information. The United States does not allow other countries to do this. If the snake does not get here then there will be a minimum fine of $10,000.00 for false holding.

His response:Hello
do not bother i will tell the airport to bring them back to me today, so please stop email me o.k.
bye

Hello!
I want to give You some information:
They works in Latvia now, "selling" dogs.
I think, that this persons are criminals?!
Why police is not working with it???

Most popular e-mail adressess in Latvia, what they are using:

dace9689@inbox.lv
jasmin9689@inbox.lv

They had post information in many Latvian portals in very bad latvian:

http://www.tanks.lv/slud/lv/slud.php?id=65356

All, what they wants - money.

They wrote to me:
"Hello ,
Thanks for the mail ,thanks very much for the reply and interested in my puppies , i see how much love you have for Animals from your interest in these puppies, i have this strong feelings you are going to give them the best of your love and care , well i have these two puppies male and female and i need a new home for them full with lots of love and care ,

My reasons for giving these puppies out to a new home is beacused i am currently not in the country right now , i traveled out to Cameroon with my two puppies for my new job and i will be here for a long time. I have been here for 3 weeks and i have come to discover that the weather / climate is not good for my babies ( puppies ). they find much difficulties in adapting with the climate here and due to the nature of my work i find much difficulties in taking care of them .

Our fist visit to the pets doctor was last Friday , where i was also advice by the Vet doctor to send these puppies out of Cameroon as soon as possible due to the bad climate. so i want to send them back to any caring family or pet lovers of a Christian home .

I hope you understand me and can help this puppies out with a home full with lot of love and care, this puppies are 15 weeks old so gentle to children they will make a very good companion at home, they are well checked,health registered and up to date on all vaccines. They will run and play like 3 years old children.they have got very good temperament with children and other pets this puppies will comes along with a 1-year health guarantee, playing toys, including a menu booklet,and video CDs,
which shows what they likes and dislikes .

I am very happy.i am sure that love and care would be there for the puppies when they arrive possibly soonest. wow you sound just like a nice person i feel the love for animals in your mail, i can not just wait to see Amelia and Teddy ruining and playing around your house it will be so so lovely, hoping you will love them as well as they will love you.
All i will ask of you is to pay for the puppies transportation fee back to Riga International Airport , if that will be ok by you then you will have to get back to me with the following information regarding the puppies shipment

In arrangement to the puppies transportation i will need the following information:

-Your full names and house address for the paper work here
-Nearest airport to your house for the puppies safety delivery
-A contact number with which you could be reached at upon the puppies arrival at the airport.

Immediately I have this information alongside the transportation fee I will book a flight for the puppies and get back to you with the full flight details on their departure time here and arrival at your airport.
N.B: Remember to take along a valid ID card or a Drivers license bearing this name you will send when going to the airport to pick up the puppies. i wait your call at any time .

Best wishes

Why police is not working with it???

Mostly because it's difficult to impossible to identify someone using a fake name, a free, anonymous email address, and (probably) fake ID, if any ID at all. And even if they could identify them, the scammer is probably in another country. Even if the police located near the victim wanted to help, the police in the scammer's country may not care. It also costs a lot of money to conduct such an investigation.

I am interested in getting a Siberian Husky puppy and found an advertisement for one online with an email address (kellybella@ymail.com). I sent off an email in good faith, and received a well-meaning email, outlining how well-loved this puppy was, etc etc. I believed that she was in Scotland, UK and I was interested in driving up there to see the puppy in its current home ( I believe all good pet owners-to-be should do this) but felt pushed to pay the fees for the 'safe' delivery of this little one. I asked how much these fees would be and was surprised when she advised it was as little as £180. I re-read both emails to be sure of no hidden charges and couldn't help but notice how broken the English read, surely even in these times of 'text talk' it would still read properly and also thte fact that she started the email and kept referring to me as 'my dear' startled as I didn't know this person from the next. Call it instinct but I decided to check out the given email address on a popular search engine and a few advertisements for various puppy breeds. I also came across this site. I only hope more people have a serious think before purchasing an animal online & if it sounds too good to be true...
PS
:idea:ALWAYS ALWAYS ask to see the animal in their current home, and if the breeder/seller refuses, no matter their excuse, walk away, no matter how cute the picture is:idea:
This is a much wanted pet for our home and it pains me to think would have wasted our money when there is genuine breeders/sellers with animals who need a new home.

I have the same case, but i wrote to web page and they give me his IP address. IP address is 41.204.79.39. So this will be easier to track him down. I hope so. I call police and Western Union and report him.

Nyla
6 November 2008, 04:32
About the only thing that IP address tells you is that he was probably using a computer in Cameroon, unfortunately.

Given that most scammers use public web cafe machines for their scamming, the same machine may not have the same IP address two days running and that the police in Cameroon will probably not care even if you could give the scammer's real name and home address, the IP address isn't really all that useful for tracking down the scammer. With proxy servers available for free, it's not even certain that the website actually recorded the IP address of the machine the scammer was using at the time.

Finding out if the IP actually leads anywhere useful would require getting a search warrant or similar court order to get the required information from all the parties it passed through. It would take a lot of resources and time. To be honest, most scams don't net enough money to make that worth the police resources.

Western Union might add the receiver name and address to a list and warn other customers that try to transfer to that scammer, but that's about it. WU doesn't actually verify ID, identities, names and addresses of receivers. The chances of your scammer using even one piece of real information is slim. He's likely used a fake name, address, and possibly ID.

I have just been involved in a near scam... i seen the cutest little teacup brown yorkshire terrier puppy online for sale £100 and enquired about it...the advert was dated June and location being London... so i asked if it still for sale...AMAZINGLY IT WAS!
Well cut the story short it was a scam as he insisted he airmail this pup to me from Belfast and insisted i pay £200 by western union...
I actually got suspicious when in his first email to me he asked me my religion!!!
Anyway i took his email address and goggled it and thank you fraud watchers website i discovered i was being taken for a ride long before i even considered sending money.
I wonder why this advert is still posted online? There are several of the same little dog Nina.
Scammers are very easy to spot nowadays... never send money for anything unless you are buying from a secure well known webshop.
Puppies by airmail would be the biggest giveaway to a scam i think!
Plus i also believe a yahoo email address is a giveaway aswell.
Don't be caught out some people nowadays are unreal!

Understand I am gulable to start and my daughter wanted a bird. My daughter called me regarding this bird, I told her to make sure it was US currency and what about quarenteen and a couple other things, the lady " Jean Dawson=crazyjean@ymail.com " assured her all was covered with the birds vacc and paperwork, Soooo I gave her the initial $120 for the bird, then she called me and said that the company " Flight Global Pets Shipping Agency= flightglobal_intl@rocketmail.com= 00237-7465-2805" needed $350 for insurance on the bird and that it would be refunded to her upon arrival of the bird. I should have pushed more for her to wait on a bird, when I saw the pictures, there was no quarenteen band on it, however the lady reassured that there would be no prob. I wish i wasnt so trusting, and now Ive helped my daughter lose her money.
So here is some of the conversation, you may find it familiar.

hi,
Thanks for your mail regarding my bird....she is still available to any one prepared to provide her with enough care and love,where she will be well spoilt with all her need.....she is 8months old and has very good temperament with kids and other pets,very playful love to play around with toys and kids,she is health guaranteed,DNA tested,well vaccinated .....she is up to date on all her shots and will be coming along side her health papers and vet records.She also speaks English and has a vocabulary of about 100 words and she often say words like "Hello" and "Whats Up". she is called Nina and she is really a lovely and intelligent bird......I am also located in Cameroon .Please may i also ask you a few questions?where are you located?are you a breeder?do you have kids?Can you also promise that you will take good care of her?
How soon are you ready to have her home?
At least with this informations,i will get to know better where she will be going to.......See her pictures below.i just hope you will love her.....I will also like you to promise me that you will always send her pictures to me monthly so that i can see how she is doing in your home......Below is an attachment of her most recent pictures for you to see.i will be waiting for your mail asap.
thanks and God bless.

Thanks for getting back to me and i will be very happy if you will provide a loving home for Nina.
i am actually giving Nina out because she belonged to my daughter(Jenner) but with a heavy heart i lost Jenner and she was all i got ,i work with a global,broad-based health care company devoted to discovering new medicines, new technologies and new ways to manage health.Jenner died in an accident last 3 weeks on her way back from her piano classes and i have very bad memories when i see these baby around me,because she was always together with her since i am always busy in the laboratory.i really need to give her to someone who can really care and love her just the way Jenner used to.Nina has been very lonely since Jenner passed away so the best thing i decided on as my colleague advised me was to send her to a loving home .i really count on you if you can be there for these baby.And i will also be shipping her to you from Cameroon and all that you will pay to have her is $120 .
I will also be sending her alongside her toys,grooming and feeding kits in her new cage okay..So please assure me that you will take very good care of her and i can also ship her to you through the next available flight to your location today.
So get back to me asap with your delivery information such as your Country.......,State/city.....,phone number......, address........, and the name of the airport closest to you.So i shall be very glad if you provide me with this information so that i can start the flight arrangements for her okay.You can also Call me at 00237-9914-7923 or +23799147923 .

Thank you for the information about the Cameroon English bulldog scam. He is using a new email address now (tonysantana50@yahoo.com). Here is the email I just got from him. I am so thankful I saw this. I thought this sounded very fishy. So sad what evil people there are in the world.

Hello ,
Its nice reading from you and thanks for the mail and interest you have in my lovely puppy ..Well as a matter of fact I had a Two lovely male and female puppies, but now i am left with one Jessy but due to her smartness we call her (Buster) Buster is potty trained and poli vaccinated and is up to date on her shots .I am having a lot of difficulties taking care of her because I am busy with a project with WWF.We are tracking a rare bird specie called the Banner man's Turaco here in the St Helena's of Cameroon. Please I have been looking for someone to adopt and love Buster. We are so busy with work such that we hardly have time to devote for her love and care for her. She is so lonely here with us especially after her mate was shipped to his new home in Dallas .That is why we have decided to give her for adoption.Buster is microchiped and has had all her vaccines up to date. Very playful and fund of other pets and kids.Very social girl I would say she is too pretty for words can explain. you will adore her.She is not De sexed and has all her health papers up to date. Selling animals is not our thing and we feel it is not right. My wife and I have decided to give only to someone caring and serious. I just shipped Nelly (Buster's mate) to a the Morgans family in Dallas ....Please if you are interested then get back to me, so we can arrange on how you can get her.I will like to know the kind of accommodation you have and your experience.Please we will be grateful if you take care of the shipping fee only. My friend paid approximately $195 to ship Nelly and some of our equipment from Douala International airport,Cameroon to The Dallas forth-worth international airport back home. It might a bit higher or lower depending on your location or nearest airport from where you can pick Buster . We also have some equipment which we are willing to send along.. My shipping agent shipped Nelly via Charles DeGaulle and so succeeded in avoiding the 30days quarantine.For example the last shipment to my friend took 7hours to get Nelly (Buster s mate) to get him to Dallas . Please get back to us by email or call us using 00237-75-08-41-32 so i will really love to get more assured from your words so please i will really appreciate if you can immediately give me a call or get back to me with your house/cell phone numbers so that i can give you a call and we talk more if interested.So below are the most recent digital photos of Buster hope you love them and get back to us as soon as possible so that she can come over to you as soon as possible for she is ready to spoil a lovely home with much love and care
Thanks a lot and just hope I found the right person.
Stay Bless

Its nice reading from you and thanks for the mail and interest you have in my lovely puppy ..Well as a matter of fact I had a Two lovely male and female puppies, but now i am left with one Jessy but due to her smartness we call her (Buster) Buster is potty trained and poli vaccinated and is up to date on her shots .I am having a lot of difficulties taking care of her because I am busy with a project with WWF.We are tracking a rare bird specie called the Banner man's Turaco here in the St Helena's of Cameroon. Please I have been looking for someone to adopt and love Buster. We are so busy with work such that we hardly have time to devote for her love and care for her. She is so lonely here with us especially after her mate was shipped to his new home in Dallas .That is why we have decided to give her for adoption.Buster is microchiped and has had all her vaccines up to date. Very playful and fund of other pets and kids.Very social girl I would say she is too pretty for words can explain. you will adore her.She is not De sexed and has all her health papers up to date. Selling animals is not our thing and we feel it is not right. My wife and I have decided to give only to someone caring and serious. I just shipped Nelly (Buster's mate) to a the Morgans family in Dallas ....Please if you are interested then get back to me, so we can arrange on how you can get her.I will like to know the kind of accommodation you have and your experience.Please we will be grateful if you take care of the shipping fee only. My friend paid approximately $195 to ship Nelly and some of our equipment from Douala International airport,Cameroon to The Dallas forth-worth international airport back home. It might a bit higher or lower depending on your location or nearest airport from where you can pick Buster . We also have some equipment which we are willing to send along.. My shipping agent shipped Nelly via Charles DeGaulle and so succeeded in avoiding the 30days quarantine.For example the last shipment to my friend took 7hours to get Nelly (Buster s mate) to get him to Dallas . Please get back to us by email or call us using 00237-75-08-41-32 so i will really love to get more assured from your words so please i will really appreciate if you can immediately give me a call or get back to me with your house/cell phone numbers so that i can give you a call and we talk more if interested.So below are the most recent digital photos of Buster hope you love them and get back to us as soon as possible so that she can come over to you as soon as possible for she is ready to spoil a lovely home with much love and care
Thanks a lot and just hope I found the right person.
Stay Bless

IPATA and AirAnimal those were the names of the companies that were asking for money.



Hi there, and sorry to learn that you were taken in by these evil scumbags.

Just to clarify a couple of things, though....

IPATA (www.ipata.com) are a not for profit organisation. They don't ship pets, nor do they ask for fees to ship pets.

Also, AirAnimal wouldn't be involved in any sort of scam at all. I know the guy who owns that company and whoever it is that's running the scam is being cowardly enough to hide behind the guy's good name.

Can you give me the website addresses they claim to use? I want to get them shut down urgently.

Many thanks

I sent yesterday via Moneygram 160 euros to a shipping agency named GK shipping agency with a new branch in Cameroon so that they deliver me a Yorkshire Terrier. They told me the puppy had to be checked in France and then enter Europe. Then they asked for 355 euros to make a life insurance for the puppy! Fortunately i didn't transfer the money. The e-mail of the seller is bellyhall@googlemail.com. Please if anyone knows anything about it please reply and let me know! The information she gave me to send the money are the following :
name......Gordon Ashu T,
address....GK pet shipping building,201 comm ave,
city.........Douala,
country.....Cameroon,
Zip...........237.

I have recently been looking for a puppy...I was looking in the OCregister and found the cutes multese puppy!! I was talking back and forth with this guy for about a week now...He kept mentioning that he could ship me the dog...but according the OCregister it showed that he was 5 miles from my home...He said I could pay half for the dog now and when I got him then I could pay the other half...I googled his email address address and see that he has the same dog for sell in TN...BAD BAD BAD...Below is a few of his emails to me:

1.
Hello,
Thanks for the inquiry in regards of the puppy boy zack.he is still
available and up for adoption.
zack is 11 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.he will be very healthy at maturity when fully
grown.zack is very obedient and has been trained to walk on leash
during the day when he intends to go out for a walk.He weights 2lbs
and when he is fully grown she expected to weight about 3.5
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 are missionaries and we recently relocated from the
State to Cameroon for an evangelical tour that will last for about
three months and we took along our baby boy puppy zack 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 her out for an adoption fee of
$280.00.he is ready with all her records and toys.he is going to come
along with a one year health guarantee certificate.we will be shipping
Zack from here so we will be needing the following infomations from
you.
Full names?
Home address?
Closest airport to your location.

Permit us asked you some few questions.

1.Have you lived with maltese before?
2.Do you have kids and other pets?
3.If you adopt her are you going to treat him like your own child.
Reply us back with our home email address.

Thanks and God bless you
Cedric and Constance

I sent 160 euros through moneygram to a person in Cameroon. I really wanted a Yorkshire Terrier and there was a "lady" giving them out for free. I didn't guess what was coming....When the "imaginary" puppy was to sent to me they asked for 355 euros to make a life insurance. Fortunately i didn't transfer the second amount. I asked a friend to send her an e-mail and ask for the same puppy. She answered that the puppy was available and then i realized i was scammed. Pay attention to the following names. Don't make the same mistake i did.

"belly hall" <bellyhall@googlemail.com
"genna pollard" <gennapollard@gmail.com
asleycain@gmail.com

They also gave me these information to transfer the money:
name......Gordon Ashu T,
address....GK pet shipping building,201 comm ave,
city.........Douala,
country.....Cameroon,
Zip...........237.

And these are the last e-mails after i realized the fraud!

belly hall says:
the mail was sent to her on weekend when you asked me to wait money
and beside i was just trying to help her look for a puppy so that she
don't fall in the hands of scammers because at first i told her some
body is asking after the girl puppy(which was you) but when i taught
of Ashley i told her to come for the puppy ,i was thinking of linking
her with Ashely Cain the lady i told you had free puppies.hope this
makes you clear?

me:
Unfotunately, for you, no! The e-mail was sent today! So you have two
> options. Take your "imaginary" puppy back or send me the EXISTING one
> tomorrow at 8p. And i didn't pay the insurance money. Just to inform you.

belly hall says:
ok then will see what to do tomorrow,so that you get puppy.i was just
wanting to help the lady(your friend),didn't know it will end up this
way.anyway am sorry for helping her by telling her the puppy is
available.
i will not be happy until you have the puppy and thats when i will
have some peace of mine.


I found her add in this address: http://www.adoos.gr/post/3720394/adopt_cute_yorkshire_terrier_puppies_for_free

Those people are criminals! And i hope there was a way to punish them! They take advantage of our feelings.I'm not sad for the money i've lost, but for the disappointment i felt. I really believe in God and i'm sure they get what they diserve!

I was recently looking for a pug puppy on the internet and lucked out-or so I thought. I found a woman named KELLY HARRISON on Craigslist that posted her puppies in the city where I grew up as a child, so I thought it would be no problem to pick up the puppy and pay when I saw the dog and made sure it was healthy. This is when she informed me that she was out of the counrty for 8 months doing research and the dog would be shipped from Douala, Cameroon. I thought I was being smart to look up the city and country on Google Maps, and sure enough they did exist. I thought at first this was legitimate and went to work the next day bragging about my new puppy. When I gave details about how the transaction was going to happen, EVERYONE in my office told me I was being scammed. My husband and I talked about it for a long time and came to the conclusion that worse case scenario we would take this experience and learn from it. A day later, I was $160 poorer. I sent the money Western Union as she instructed and just like that I was scammed. This morning I got a phone call from 'Cameroon Airlines' where I was informed that there was pet insurance ($350) that I was required to pay in order to ship the puppy today. He was quick to tell me that it was refundable...I would be given the $350 cash back upon safe delivery of the pup. Good thing we didn't have the money or I would have sent them that also! So, needless to say, I had to hear a lot of -I told you so's- this morning when I got to work. I have read other people's experiences and I'm glad to say I was a lucky one-some people have spent a lot more money than I have just to be scammed the same exact way. If you have any question whether you are being scammed or not, one thing I've noticed is most of these e-mails have poor punctuation and end many phrases or sentences with "ok". Keep this in mind. The e-mail that KELLY HARRISON gave me is kellyharri01@yahoo.com. You would be wise to do extensive research on your purchase and on the seller.
