[nubber]

I think this is a scam, below is an email I received from someone today who says they are in Cameroon. I was about to do it, but then found this site.

"Hello thanks for the mail, and i really do hope that now that this baby has finally get to your home from the loom of things you are going to give him the best of love right??ok, i just got off phone with the shipping agency and they told me that their next flight flight will be leaving in a couple of hours from now ok, so right now you will have to just get the fee to me right away so that i can pay for the flight and we get Kike in the next flight ok, they also told me to bring him up to the airport so that some test can be conducted on him so that is what i ahve to be doing right away ok so you will just head to the nearest money gram store to your house and get the money so that my driver can help me pick it up and meet me at the airport and we make the payments and say bye bye to Kike ok,, my dear Love Care and attention is all what i want you to give this baby and i also hope you will send me his pics in your home first thing tomorrow in the morning right?? so you will send the money via money gram using my husbands informations which goes thus:
Name.............Jones Mergan
Address........Foncha street
City /.State.......Douala
Country............Cameroon
Zip Code.............00237
Then you will email us the money transfer details as soon as you make the payments that the Ref # and the senders Full names so that we can get the money then update you withe the flight details ;ok,
thanks and waiting to read from you"


It sounds fishy to me....They sound so nice and convincing, and even sent me a picture of teh Dog! But then when she said she lived in Cameroon and the dog would be here in 4-5 hours....That was a little weird. And then told me to send money right away.

Im so glad I found this site, before I went through with it.

Thank you

[John Fairheart]

I think this is a scam

Why would you think it genuine? Some unknown individual offers you a live animal that is in another country? Are you a professional importer of live animals and pets in your country?

If not, read this => Buying Pets Online (http://www.fraudwatchers.org/forums/view.php?pg=fw_petsonline)

As always, if you have never actually met the animal face-to-face then you must NOT spend any money. Any mention of nations such as Cameroon, Nigeria or Kenya are ALL FRAUDS. Nobody should ever enter into a purchase across an international boundary unless they know exactly what they are doing and have approprite clearances already set up in YOUR country, if anyone tells you they can simply "ship to your door" from a foreign nation, is nothing more than a FRAUD.

Buy a pet from a local dealer and stay safe.

A few days ago i found a post on webpage for local pet sellers, and found someone giving away english bulldog pups for adoption.

This post was in spanish so i wrote an email in spanish, asking about the pups. After sending the email, i got a repply in an awfull spanish translation, clearly made via web.

Since it said something about Cameroon, i wrote back in english, asking about the pups, and this is what i got:

thanks for the mail, if you can speak english then that is better. well i do not have your contact number, i am located in Victoria Island Cameroon, and i am over here with the puppies.like i said the puppies are for free adoption and you only need to pay for the transportation to your location.i will have to get to the shipping agency that will transport the puppy and find out the shipping fee from here to Mexico.
i wait to hear from you soonest.
thanks

After a reply i did regarding the shipping of the dog and about the papers of the animal, i got this:

i am happy for the reply, well shipping a puppy is no problem because our vet take care of the puppy till its destination, so for that you have nothing to worry about,. CMR is short form of Cameroon, it takes 5 hours, that is the maximum time the puppy takes from here to you. the shipping is not a complicated process, its easy as i have been a breeder for 5 years and i often adopt and sell mostly in Europe and the USA.
i can assure you that you have nothing to worry about every thing is taken cared of.
waiting to hear from you soonest.
thanks

Thanks for getting back to me.I am now satisfied that you will take the puppies and provide them with a loving home.Lino is a male while Nina is female. They are very good pets that will always like to do as you will say.they listens to command and also loves to walk and play too with kids.they likes to sleep with people and also love to be carried in the hands.I know that they will be very glad to change a home.The reason i am giving my puppies out is because of my working conditions.My working hours are too much and i have no time for them.and also because of the hot climate here which i think is not good enough for the puppies.And so i don't want them to suffer and I want them ever happy.so i just want you to give them a loving home.I am located in Cameroon and i will be shipping the puppies to you And they will be coming along with their health papers,crate,toys and dresses .The shipping is going to take just 8hours to get to your location and all that you will pay is their shipping fare to your location which is $90 for one and $180 for both of them and i will ship them to you.So i will be needing your Delivery informations which are Your Names,State,address,Contact Number and nearest airport to your home .
I wait to hear from you asap


I asked if they took pay pal
this was the response

no i am not interested in taking any money from you.You will have to pay the money to the shipping agency directly and they will ship the puppies to you okay.All i need from you is your shipping address so that i can book the flight now and i will also give you the contact information of the shipping agency for you to contact them and pay the money online .So please get back to me asap.,

hi,thanks for the information.i will proceed with the shipping arrangements and i will be booking the flight for them now.And when they arrive they will be delivered to you right at your home.So all you have to do now is to make the payment for the shipping to the shipping agency through their website below:
http://doualapettransporter.info/id3.html
and as soon as you pay the shipping online you should let me know okay.
I am booking the flight now.
thanks


we checked out the website
http://doualapettransporter.info/id3.html
and tried to enter our credit card info, then it told us that their credit card machine was down and they wanted us to use western union
(then I canceled my credit card)

we then thought something must be not right, we asked for her id and this is what she sent us


http://i217.photobucket.com/albums/cc12/frankandkeren505/IDcard.jpg




we checked into delta airlines and they told us they do pet transportation from Cameroon. we told her that the only way we would do it is if she went through delta, then she never wrote back!

I'm disgusted that people are willing cheat other people out of their money!
does anybody know how to notify tripod that they are hosting scammers???

[John Fairheart]

I have raised an abuse report for the website. I did peer into the HTML and it does appear that the form submission is being sent to an email address: douala_airport_international@airportemail.com which is clearly a FREE webmail account pretending to be an International Airport.

Point to note: Never fill our credit card or other personal financial or street addresses on websites that DO NOT begin with "https://" -- The simple fact is that your credit card details may have been 'Phished' [wiki (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phishing)] and could quite easily be used to purchase goods and services in your name. Closing the card and warning your credit card company is indeed the right thing to do.

The ID is laughable. I really do not need to say anything other than "completely bogus".

Please read the following: Buying Pets Online (http://www.fraudwatchers.org/forums/view.php?pg=fw_petsonline) and look around at the other "Pet Scams" threads in this forum. In the end nobody should be attempting to purchase a pet without actually seeing the animal face-to-face.

If you cannot view the animal, or are refused, or the animal is allegedly in another country "WALK AWAY" and buy locally or visit your nearest pet shelter if you are on a tight budget.

[pellospellou]

I am writing this regarding what you said about the scam. I almost fell for the same scam here in th UK. it was an ad about a pair of bulldogs. unfortunately i also gave them my personal info like you. I just wanted to ask you if there were any further consequences with your name, address of phone number being used elsewhere. thank you

-right now I'm in the same process and i think is the same people. but thank to you guys info i know its a scams I'm not going to do it here is the first email i got in response-

[Fran]

i did get an email from one of these scammers and replied back that i would pay through paypal or google checkout. but they responded that they needed my info, name, address, phone #, etc. They also wanted pics of my house 'where the puppy would live'. Do you think I'm in any danger? My e-mail signature does have my first and last name along with my cell phone. I did not give them any of my information, nor do i plan on it.

Thanks you! and please help!

[Rob]

Hello Fran,

there's nothing you'll have to worry about. Just don't reply if they email you and if they call you, just hang up. They'll try that probably a few times before they give up and drop you like a hot potatoe.

[Sambieno]

Hello,

I have been emailing with this fellow KETE CHRIS and I sent him an email because he said they are for free you just have to pay for the shipping. I told him that I would not pay for the puppys shipping until I had the puppy in my hands. He told me it would cost $100 (to ship from cameroon to canada) So I told him he could pay the shipping and once I had the dog I would pay him back. I got an email from the "airport" Im wondering if anyone else got one like this. I think its fishy because there is incorrect spelling... But he said that I wouldnt have to pay any money until I had the dog.

I got an email from the "airport" Im wondering if anyone else got one like this.

Of course it's a scam, how could it be anything else? You are being asked by an "airport" to pay a fee prior to delivery of an imported live animal. Importing live animals is not that simple. Please refer to the following article for further information: "Buying Pets Online (http://www.fraudwatchers.org/forums/view.php?pg=fw_petsonline)"

The airport email is a typical ploy to acuire money, and it removes the suspicion from the supposed seller. In fact they are one and the same. Do not fall for online pet scams. Any mention of another country and you should walk away from ANY deal because it will be a scam.

Only professional importers will have the right knowledge and experience to obtain live animals from abroad. Members of the general public cannot do that with ease.

[nclaxmom]

:(However, they are not charging me for shipping. They have only asked me to get with Cameroon Ministry of Livestock and Agriculture and obtain a form for Transfer of Ownership papers. That's all he is asking for over and over. No payment for the pups, no payment for the shipping, just payment for the Transfer of Ownership form. He sent me pics of the original litter, one pic of himself and Nina and one pic of his wife and Nino. He said that he has another litter about to be born and would not be able to give these pups the attention they need, so he feels he needs to give them away. He has answered all of my emails. I don't know what to do.

[nclaxmom]

However, they are asking me for nothing except the Cameronn Transfer of Ownership papers. They said that they will give me the pups for free and ship for free. He told me to contact the Cameroon Ministry of Livestock and Agriculture for the paperwork. He told me that he has another litter due next week and would not have time to dedicate to Nina and Nino, that is why he is willing to give them away. He's answered all of my questions, he's sent me photos of himself and Nina and his wife and Nino and the entire original litter. I don't know what to think? Could it be possible this one is not a scam????
:(

[John Fairheart]

I don't know what to think? Could it be possible this one is not a scam????

There is ZERO question as to whether it is a scam or not... You have been asked to pay in advance for "documentation" for an animal that DOES NOT EXIST! This is Advance Fee Fraud.

Please read => Buying Pets Online (http://www.fraudwatchers.org/forums/view.php?pg=fw_petsonline)

You CANNOT import a live animal from a foreign country as simply as throwing it on a plane... IT IS NOT POSSIBLE. Any solicitation from Cameroon or any other part of Africa (and beyond) which offers animals for *free* is a scam.

Use a local seller where you can meet the animal face-to-face. If a seller for whatever reason cannot let you meet the animal... WALK AWAY - It's a scam.

[cooki77]

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE EVERYONE OUT THERE!!!! PELASE NOTE THAT ANYONE "SELLING" OR "GIVING AWAY" A PET FROM CAMEROON IT IS A SCAM. I HAVE BEEN SPEAKING WITH THE POLICE HERE WHERE I AM LOCATED IN CANADA AND THEY HAVE BEEN TELLING ME TO STAY AWAY FROM ANYTHING HAVING TO DO WITH CAMEROON AND ANIMALS.

I FRIST HEARD OF THIS ISSUES WHEN MY FRIEND WAS LOOKING FOR A PUPPY ON KIJIJI.COM. I TOLD HER TO STAY AWAY AND LOW AND BEHOLD, THAT EXACT SAME NIGHT THERE WAS A WOMAN ON THE LOCAL NEWS WHO FELL FOR THIS TRAP AND USED HER RENT MONEY FOR HER 3 YEARS DAUGHTER AND HER (hence the reason I have 0% sympathy for this woman...I mean, come on, using your rent moeny to get another puppy when you already have 2!!) AND ENDED UP PAYING $150 FOR THE PUPPY, AND THEN AN ADDITIONAL $400 BECAUSE IT "HAD TO STAY AT THE AIRPORT OVERNIGHT! SO PELASE BE AWARE AND LET EVERYONE KNOW THAT THESE PPL ARE SCAMMING!!!

I think this is a scam, below is an email I received from someone today who says they are in Cameroon. I was about to do it, but then found this site.

"Hello thanks for the mail, and i really do hope that now that this baby has finally get to your home from the loom of things you are going to give him the best of love right??ok, i just got off phone with the shipping agency and they told me that their next flight flight will be leaving in a couple of hours from now ok, so right now you will have to just get the fee to me right away so that i can pay for the flight and we get Kike in the next flight ok, they also told me to bring him up to the airport so that some test can be conducted on him so that is what i ahve to be doing right away ok so you will just head to the nearest money gram store to your house and get the money so that my driver can help me pick it up and meet me at the airport and we make the payments and say bye bye to Kike ok,, my dear Love Care and attention is all what i want you to give this baby and i also hope you will send me his pics in your home first thing tomorrow in the morning right?? so you will send the money via money gram using my husbands informations which goes thus:

It sounds fishy to me....They sound so nice and convincing, and even sent me a picture of teh Dog! But then when she said she lived in Cameroon and the dog would be here in 4-5 hours....That was a little weird. And then told me to send money right away.

Im so glad I found this site, before I went through with it.

Thank you

Earlier this month I was looking to adopt a dog and found these bulldogs posted in random sites on the internet. I emailed the contact person and quickly figured out that it was a scam, researched it, was beside myself for a few hours, and then soon forgot about it. Today my grandma calls me and tells me she just bought a bulldog. I was so excited for her as I knew she had been looking as well. She forwards me photos of the dog, and attached are some of the messages she's been sending back and forth to the "breeder." My heart sank when I read the words "South Cameroon." Right away I knew she had fallen into the trap I found only a few weeks ago. We're handeling it right now as I type this - she's already wired the money and I really don't know how bad into it she is at this point - but please people - IT'S NOT WORTH IT. Don't ever buy an animal you can't see face to face, I don't care how legit. it all seems. Go to a local rescue group or animal shelter. I ended up adopting from a rescue group and he's the best thing that's ever happened to me.

[ripped off]

My wife just fell for this today.....
She wired them money....
Emails were from torostar.bulldogs@gmail.com

Their site http://english-bulldogs.110mb.com/

I sure its too late for us, but I wanted to warn others.

If anyone can help me return the favor or somehow get these people please email *Removed by the moderator

I responded to a craig's list ad, here are the two responses that I recd:
thanks for the inquiry.Lula is still available and to let you know, Lula is currently on all shots, worming s, micro chipped and examined by our vet. Lula will come along with a puppy pack with food, coupons, toys, and a snuggly baby blanket and a scrapbook which will be of help.

Lula is 13 weeks old and weighs 16.8 lbs.lula loves to be pampered ,she is very calm and adores playing with her toys .she is house trained and gets well with kids, adults ,and other house hold pets.she is loves taking rides.Thus she will make a good companion when going for shopping.

We are presently in Canada in the state of Ontario we have been here for the past one month On a research on the "lake Ontario"..it has been difficult for us handling Lula out here because of the increase in the time and the intensity of the research. This makes it difficult to offer her that full love and care.and being Religious persons it will prick our Conscience if we Deprive Lula of her happiness. She has not been happy all this while because most of the time she is left alone.It is as a result of this that we have to look for good an experience home for Lula were she will be spoiled and rotten.

Given that our Coordinator have not made known to us a stipulated time that we will have to back in State. We want some one back home to have her because we will love to pay visits some times to see how hula is doing lol.

To adopt her,i will like to know this from you.

Are you a breeder.?

have you had a bull dog before?

will you be willing to send me some regular pics of Lula so we can see her progress. .?
will you permit us pay you a visit when we are back to State ?.
and i will be glad if you can convince me that you will spoil and rotten Lula like your own kid. I will be grateful if you are able to provide me with answers to these questions.i have just attach her recent pics to this mail.

As for your further training of Lula I will send you a puppy training booklet to help you . I will also be sending you some basic guidelines to you ,so that you follow as soon as she arrives you.I will send her along with some food stuff and direct you on how she takes her meals and how to follow her feeding schedule through out the day and subsequent weeks to come.If you have any more questions to ask, just let me know.will also like to know when you will like to have her. Do have a nice day and get back to me at your Convenience.
Stay blessed and have a nice day.

We are God fearing and we are just so happy to let you have her we just want to belief and trust your words and at one point we will not want to think that Lula is so desperate .We have your full trust. We are expecting to read from you again

WARNING: THIS IS A FRAUD!! BEWARE

[Unregistered100]

Hi my name is Lacie, and I wanted to tell you about how I got scammed out of $500...
Well it started off that I emailed a supposed animal shelter...and the man on there told me my puppy got adopted but there was a minister from Nigeria who had two english Bulldog puppies...So I email the guy,who was going with the name John Akins...HAHA... Well I'll let you read the first email he sent me...
Hello Crystal Hixon,

Yes!!! I sent the breeder to find a caring parent for my babies. I use to live in the
USA before I got a divine call to serve God and humainty here in west africa and this
gave me little or no time for my babies. The weather here is also not lenient with my
babies. They hardly come outside with me because of the weather. I want to get them
adopted back to the USA where they will be sent back to the weather they were acquainted
with before.My babies are 3months old, they are AKC registered, current on all shots.
health certified. Loves to be cuddled and loves to play. They are home trained and they are 2 months old respectively and their name is Romeo and Juliet.

I am asking $900 for my two babies and one for $500.You will promise me that you will be
sending their pictures to me in every 1months as an update with regards to how they are
doing with you. I love them so much but they will be missed. They are my real babies.
Please treat them as though they were your babies. Their names are Adam and Eve

I am attaching their pictures for you to view them.
I can't wait to hear from you
God bless you
...Well if you read it you can tell that there are many things wrong with it...Well first thats not at all my name!!! Second what is the age of the "babies" 2months...or 3??? thrid of all what are their names...Romeo and Juliet...or Adam and eve..??Well mr.Akins told me just to send $200 for the "babies" to get shipped to my house...so I did...The very next day he says that he needs $400 more because they were "stuck" in Gwana?? So I tell the man that I dont have the money I told him That I thought he might be a scammer and he said that he was very disapointed and that he opend up to me...so I told him that I would only send $300 and no more!!! HE said okay...Then just yesterday morning he says he needs $800!!! I was like umm no!! So he calls me beging me to send it saying he will pay me back...I said no more money until I get the puppies!! Now to day he is still bothering me with emails saying he just needs me to send $200..Ive already told this guy that I knew he was a scamer!!!! But when I sent him teh money the first 2 times it was through Western UNion...He goes by the name John Akins, His email is "pastor.johnakins@live.com His sending the money name was Wallance Charles! PLeas get this name and information out he his still bothering me so I know he is still out there...Thank you..Lacie

[KJB_CARR]

EVER HEARD OF THAT SHOW DATELINE NBC..WELL AS SOON AS THIS PERSON SAID HE WAS FROM CAMEROON..I WAS LIKE THAT'S IN AFRICA...HOW THE HECK ARE THEY SENDING ME THIS DOG AND BE AT MY HOUSE WITHIN 48 HOURS??? IMPOSSIBLE!!! FIRST:

Just for future reference, you should NEVER have a puppy shipped via air. They are almost always set in cargo, which means they have no temperature or pressure control. They are terrified by the loud engines and arrive at their destination covered in urine and feces. If the plane gets delayed for some reason, there is a good chance that the puppy won't get additional food or water. Puppies have died in transit and the sellers will not give you your money back.

HERE'S THE EMAIL THEY SENT ME FOR EVERYONE TO KNOW:

Hi,
My name is Janys. Thanks for the mail and for the interest for my female baby called Simba. She is still available for a good home.I have alway wanted her to get the best of love from next home.The decision to let her go was hard but finally,i came to conclusion that she needs a new home since our new apartment does not permit us to own pets.I want her to have just what she has always had...She has so much love to offer if you will accept her with open arms.

She is 16 weeks old.Very friendly with kids and other house hold pets. Please let me ask you some questions:?
Have you own pets b4?
What about religion, are you a Christian?

She is AKC reg,current on all her shots and dewormed,vet checked with all vet and registration papers available and up to date,potty,paper and crate trained. Simba will be coming along with all her play toys,air conditional travel crate,health and reg papers. The adoption fee will be $200 shipping included. What I am concern about here is your assurance on her health and safety. She needs love caution and stability in location.If your home is open to this darling.How soon do you need the puppy.Get back soon lets see how she gets to your home. I have put pics of simba to this mail. Hope you love them. waiting. My husband says he will like to talk with you. Can we have a phone number to call you at?

ANOTHER THOUGHT...ITS A THIRD WORLD COUNTRY SO HOW THE HECK COULD THEY AFFORD TO GET THIS PETS REGISTERED AND CHECKED AND WHAT NOT??? AND ONLY FOR $230 CAD....SOUNDS PRETTY SUSPICIOUS TO ME....


BEWARE OF THIS SCAMMER I WISH WE COULD REPORT THEM...IF ANYONE KNOWS HOW TO REPORT THESE PEOPLE PLEASE CONTACT ME AT <removed - please DO NOT post your personal email addresses!!> IT'S NOT VERY NICE TO PLAY THIS KIND OF SICK JOKES TO PEOPLE..

[Unregistered67]

A. i would've seen the scam coming a mile away

B. I'm not blaming anyone. but is there anyway we can all help eachother out, this guy is milking people from around the world. and if you goto the site you saw the ad on. they can't do anything. the cops won't. why can't wee? get some IP addresses. surely this guy isn't really in Cameroon? or maybe he actually is. But he's gonna keep ripping people off, and i think its soooo sad.

[Sarah P]

On 6/19/2008, I went to www.puppiessale.org and I saw this ad about free Yorkies for adoption. I emailed this person and he gives me this website http://bamenda.987mb.com/ to pick the dog that I want to adopt. He says he's located in Victoria, Cameroon. I researched the location and found that there's no such place called Victoria in Cameroon.
I answered all his required questions such as:
-Where are you located?
-Will you take proper care of my puppy/puppies?
-Are you use to pets?
-Are you a breeder.?
-Do you think on breeding them.?
-Do you have a yard where they could play there.?
-What is your marital status?
-Do you have kids that loves pets?
-Will you send me pics of the pups when you have them?
-Whats your full names?
-Do you have a vet you will take the puppy/puppies to?

Emails after emails he wants me to wire the $90 for the crate + shipping to him ASAP and he didnt even ask me which puppy from his website I would like to adopt! So I went online to look things up and then I found this website. I'm so glad I didnt fall for it entirely! But I am emotionally hurt...

SO EVERYONE BEWARE OF THIS PET SCAM!
It's not just pets, they can scam you for everything!
They are still out there! Think before you act...

[dickie]

i went onto kijiji a few weeks ago and found an english bulldog for adoption. i recieved an answer immediately and recieved pictures of a cute little bully named charlie. the seller (theirry_mix@yahoo.com) said he was away at school and his studies prevented him from giving the puppy the proper attention. all he wanted was shipping price. i got his info and he requested payment western union or moneygram. once i saw cameroon i figured i'd better do some research. then i demanded a safer procedure of payment and he recently offered to do business via escrow. i found this is a safe and secure method. so the question is if this guy is from cameroon but still wants to take the safe route for my sake, is he still a scammer. i don't wanna be a victim.

[John Fairheart]

dickie,

Do not be under any illusion. ANY AND ALL offers of a 'free' pet, especially one with any African connection IS GUARANTEED to be a scam.

* Free Pet
* You pay for delivery
* Western Union
* Cameroon

Escrow is not safe if they direct you to a fake website.

It's a scam, WALK AWAY

[dickie]

thank you john. i'm so relieved...a few years ago i adopted a puppy from our local shelter and i started looking for another...i felt it was time for my daughter to have her own pup as i did at her age as they are loving pets. thankfully i didn't mention this to her and i can carry on searching. i'm so glad she doesn't have to endure the heartache so many people have gone through with these scams.

[MollyM]

Hello,
I regret and ashamed to admit that I was scammed out of $2800.00 this week assuming I was getting a beautiful english bulldog puppy. I have contacted Western Union (filled out a fraud complaint), contacted the Attorney General (filled out fraud complaint), and local police department which is doing the investigation. Please I urge all of you to fill out the proper paperwork with your local and state authorities when this happens. The more people that report puppy scamming the more investigation will go into stopping these people. Here is the emails I received from the puppy scammer:
Hi Molly,
Thank you for your email and the interest in the english bulldog puppies.
There are two english Bulldog Pupppies left,One of the males has been adopted by a lady in New York.I sent him out Yesterday.
The puppies are current on all shots and wormings and examined by my vet. All puppies are AKC registered and have Champion lines. Each puppy comes with a puppy pack with food, coupons, toys, and a snuggly blanket from home with the scent of their littermates and mom and a scrapbook of their first weeks of life! These guys were all raised around kids, other dogs, and in our home they are well socialized and pre SPOILED! They will go to approved homes ONLY. Please do not reply if you are offended to answer a few questions. These guys are my babies i have hand raised them from birth and i want to make sure they get the right homes.
There is a male puppy,he is called Jake,he is 7 weeks and 4 days old.He presently weighs 12 Lbs and is 5 inches tall.He will grow to weigh approximately 52 Lbs and about 15inches tall.He is courageous and at times very stubborn.He is friendly with kids and other dogs.I have sent his picture in this mail for your viewing.To adopt him will require an adoption fee of $500.
There is a female called Kathy,she is 7 weeks and 4 days old,She presently weighs 11.9 Lbs ad is 5 inches tall.She would grow to weigh approximately 49 Lbs and about 14 inches tall.She is calm and friendly with kids.
I am in need of a home for the puppies where they can be treated with lots of love,care and attention.I need a christian and responsible family.To adopt her will require an adoption fee of $500.
The less expensive the puppies are in no way less healthy.I try to evaluate each puppy when it comes in based on appearance, conformation, temperament, pedigree, health, energy level, and rarity. Please keep in mind that I cannot guarentee show quality puppies.I can only offer my thoughts. It is extremely difficult to tell what a puppy may look like as an adult at 8 weeks.
I am married with two sons.I am a presbyterian Christian and i am here with my husband.It's hard for me to believe that my two sons are both in college.Steve and Allan.Both of them are students at Eastern Michigan University, and both work part time at the ICT Help Desk there.
I am looking for a family for the puppies because i have relocated from Boise,Idaho to Changi,Singapore for work.I am a teacher working with the Voluntary Service Overseas Program in Singapore.I teach students who are deaf or hard of hearing. Some of my students use sign language; some use lipreading and their hearing aids or cochlear implants.Some go into a regular classroom with an interpreter.They are all cool kids. I love teaching them.
I brought the puppies here by Air Transport,i will use same means to send the puppies to you. I acually work with airplanes (my real job) and shipping is completly safe for your new baby. There are certain temperature requirements that do need to be met so we do our best to get your new friend to you ASAP. However their safety is my first concern.
You will need to pick them up from the closest international airport.You can send your full names,address and the name of the closest international airport for the flight reservation.The flight information stating exact departure and arrival time and flight number will be sent to you when the flight reservation is made.
Please how many puppies do you want and which do you prefer among the two puppies?
I will like to know how many persons live with you at home and are there any pets or kids in your home.I will also like to know if you have any experience dealing with an english bulldog before?
My term of adoption is that you will agree to take full care of the puppy when you adopt the puppy,you will take care of the puppy's up bringing,feeding,health issues,medication and other related issues as concerns her well being.
I will send some information on what you need to know about your new puppy shortly.
Please feel free to ask any question you have if there is anything else you need to know.
I will end here while waiting for your reply,Sincerely.
Nancy.

Hi Molly,

Here is a list of items that you may want to have on hand for your "new arrival".

A harness bulldogs should really have harness to prevent any stress on their necks and shoulders.

A leash make sure to get a strong one as your bullie grows you will understand why.

Food and Water bowls even if you have other pets letting them have their own will make them feel more welcome and at home.

A soft blankie or doggie bed something that they can snuggle up with something that again is theirs. Make sure that if you are going to get them a bed you get them a big one because they will grow into it.

A clock or a Mommy Bear that has a heartbeat you can find these at Walmart or Target in the baby section your puppy is not used to being alone here it is with it's littermates. This will help calm and sooth its nerves and make it think there is someone else there with him. Turning on the TV or radio while you will be gone is also a good idea.

Toys PLEASE DO NOT give your new puppy any kind of rawhide or pig ear type of toys these can get stuck in its throat very easily. Stick to Nylabones and Gumabones. Something hard that will not break apart. Just like babies they are teething and need something to chew on. Stuffed toys usually do not last long as they like to rip them apart limb by limb and the stuffing can get caught in their throat. High quality toys that are more expensive usually are the best bet for durablity. Kong toys and items like this are usually best for your new baby.

If you are going to crate train get a crate that will expand as your puppy grows most have a gate that you can use as the puppy gets bigger. REMEMBER you only want enough room for the puppy to lie down and rest. Crate training is always recommended but if you are like me I have a hard time putting them in there. There are several methods under housetraining.

Please feel free to ask any question if there is anything else you need to know.Sincerely.

Nancy.
Hi Molly,
Thank you for the email and the decision to add Jake as a new member of your family.He would make a good pet and companion,he is house trained,good with kids and other pets and above all,his health is perfect,Jake is current with shots and vaccines.I will be sending him along with his health/vet records.The record will give you information on all medication,vet visits and treatment Jake has had prior to coming home.Please it is advisable you carry Jake to your vet when you receive him along with the health/vet records to establish a vaccination schedule and also for health check up.To adopt Jake will require an adoption fee of $US575 which is distributed as follows,$300 for the adoption fee and $275 for his flight fair from here back to the States.

I am going to assist you untill you get Jake and even after that i will keep assisting you.
Jake would be flown from the Changi International Airport,Singapore through Air France and you will receive him from the closest international airport.
Please send your full names,address and the name of the closest international airport for the flight arrangement.
I am going to send some more pictures of Jake.
Please feel free to ask any other question if there is anything else you need to know.
I will end here while waiting for your reply,
Sincerely.

Hi Molly,

Here are some things I have learned when dealing with Bulldog puppies and i think it is better you know and come to understand them as you are about to take in a new puppy into your family.


#1 They are stubborn!

All puppies chew you need to give the puppy a toy if you find him mowing down your wooden table like a famished beaver.

Older puppies are far better for younger children, puppies that are 12 weeks and older are ideal for kids that are younger than 5 years old. The puppies generally that age and older are past the puppy biting stage and are more mellow and less likely to nip on fingers etc.

Bulldogs DO NOT KNOW THEY ARE DOGS they really think they are human and demand to be treated like the are.

If you develop a habit like letting your dog sleep with you be prepared for it to sleep with you for the next 10-15 years. Or you will will not be able to sleep until you let them in your bed.

You will get your bulldog home and at some point you will hear this noise kinda like a baby crying. No need to worry that is just your bulldog letting you know that you need to pay attention to IT. Don't expect this to stop until they get what they want. Usually just to be talked to.

The best way that I can describe a Bulldog to anyone is this: A Golden Retriver will bring a ball to you and will shove it in your face or lap until you play with him. A Bulldog will wait for you to pick it up and want to play with him. He plays usually on your terms. However a Bulldog will follow you everywhere, they usually get very attached to one family member and they are their constant shadow.

They have the worst gas you have ever smelled, you will need airfresherner. This can be prevented by keeping them on a regular diet and avoiding table food.

They are SNUGGLERS in alot of cases they like you to give them kisses on their mugs! They like to lay their head on your shoulder.

Please feel free to ask any question you have if there is anything else you need to know.Sincerely.

Nancy.
Hi Molly,
I have sent the pictures of Jakes parents you requested in this email,the dad was called allen and the mom was called nina.Jake will be okay during the flight,the flight is completly safe for your new baby. There are certain temperature requirements that do need to be met so I do my best to get your new friend to you. However his safety is my first concern.He will get to you safe and healthy. (six pictures sent of parents)
Thank you.
Nancy.
Hi Molly,
Thank you very much for the assurance to take good care of Jake,i will appreciate the pictures Jakes new family members(Mike,Tater and yourself) this weekend.
Jake is still young,so he has not been fully trained,he will be full trained until he is 6 months or older so you will need to continue the training him when you get him.I am going to send some information with regards to taking care of the puppy when you get him.
Please feel free to ask any other question you have if there is anything else you need to know.regards.
Nancy.
Molly,

I am sending this information to you because you mentioned your husband and your self knows nothing about potty training a puppy.


Below are several methods of housebreaking your new puppy. Your puppy may not be fully house broken until they are 6 months or older. SO remember he is a baby and you must be patient with him!



NEXT JOB-HOUSETRAINING!
Secondary in importance only to socialization, you must teach your puppy how to be clean in the house. This is extremely easy if done properly. Once your puppy is housebroken, it will be a lot less stressful for both of you to share your home. Many dogs lose their happy homes because their owners are unable to housebreak them. Even an older dog can learn proper toilet habits. I once was hired to housebreak a two-year old dog who was living in a shed outside instead of with her family where she belonged, because she had never been properly house trained.

The way things are...

Puppies are naturally clean. They are usually mostly potty-trained by 4-weeks of age. While still with the litter, the puppies learn to "hold it" until they are able to get out away from the nest or denning area. They will automatically try to relieve themselves in an area away from their sleeping, playing and eating quarters. This makes a lot of sense when you think about it. With just a minimal amount of effort, your new puppy will transfer what he has already learned at the breeder's home, and learn to go in the desired area at his new home.

Some facts about the "plumbing"

Puppies have very tiny bladders. They can't hold it for very long at one time. Puppies must be taken outside many times each day, and given an opportunity to relieve themselves. Puppies also spend a great deal of time sleeping and playing. Each time a puppy wakes up, he will feel the need to empty himself immediately. Each time the puppy has had an opportunity to play, he will want to eliminate, also. And, after eating, the bowels feel the urge to move, and he'll need to go again. What ever goes in, must come out. If it goes in on a regular schedule, it will come out on a regular schedule as well. Puppies naturally choose an absorbent surface to urinate upon, because then they will not have to slide around in it or slip on it.

Where it all goes wrong...

Knowing what you now know about the puppy's plumbing, it is very easy to snatch him up and take him outside when he will need to relieve himself. The problem is when you don't put forth the effort to BE THERE when the puppy wakes, plays or eats. This forces the puppy to relieve himself where ever he can, and it is no fault of his own if he chooses to use your rug. Some people can't arrange to be with their puppy as many hours during the day as would be optimum for proper housetraining. But even this doesn't have to mean that your puppy will learn poor housetraining habits. The big problem is when you place the responsibility on the puppy for "accidents." If your puppy had a chance to be clean, he would, so somehow you must be falling down on the job. Please don't blame the puppy.

If you give your puppy free range of the house, you are asking for trouble. Would you leave an undiapered infant home alone all day and expect not to find baby poop all over the place? You must confine your puppy to a small area, so his choices are limited. If he must urinate or defecate where he eats and sleeps, he will choose to hold it as long as he can rather than to soil his living space. If you are not right there to take him outside at intervals during the day, you must provide an absorbent medium, like the puppy litter made from recycled newspapers, or the housebreaking training pads you can buy commercially. If you don't have these handy, regular newspapers will work, but often, the puppies prefer to "redecorate" their living space with the newspapers after soiling them.

Make Potty Training FUN!

Other than keeping his den area clean, what's in it for your puppy to relieve himself outside? You have to attach some kind of positive reinforcement for the puppy using the outdoors to eliminate, instead of using your carpet. The puppy has a full adult brain at age 7 weeks. He can begin learning immediately. If you create a positive association with proper elimination, he will STRIVE to eliminate in the manner you desire to earn that reward. I highly recommend clicker training as an excellent means to teach the puppy proper elimination habits.

The clicker is a device that makes a snapping sound, that sounds unlike anything else in the puppy's environment. Paired with food, the puppy learns that this sound predicts the arrival of a treat of some sort. Once the puppy makes this association, he will make a conscious effort to repeat whatever behavior he is performing when he hears the click.

When your puppy awakens, pick him up and carry him outside. Don't expect him to walk that far after waking up without peeing on the way to the door. If you make this mistake more than once, go get a rolled up newspaper and smack YOURSELF soundly, as you say "BAD OWNER, BAAAAAAAD OWNER!" Remember, the puppy is NEVER to be held accountable for "accidents." Everything that comes out where it is not supposed to is YOUR fault, so don't even THINK about punishing that sweet, innocent, helpless puppy for something you did wrong. Do the same thing each time the puppy plays, or eats.

Take the puppy, some treats and the clicker outside to where you'd like the puppy to relieve himself. Wait until the puppy squats. Get ready. You can gently give a "keep going" cue while he is going, like, "Good Potty Outside...." When the puppy is all finished going, click the clicker once to mark the behavior (the behavior you are marking is the "finishing up" of going potty), and give the puppy a treat. You don't want to click at the beginning of the squat, as the puppy will stop eliminating and run over for the cookie. He will also learn that he doesn't have to really go to the bathroom to get the treat, he merely has to "look" like he's going to the bathroom, and if he's cagey, he can get several treats out of you by "faking it" in several places. Wait until he's finished and is just starting to straighten his legs from the squat position before you click and feed. Do this every time you take the puppy outside. Give the puppy a chance to urinate and defecate each time he goes out. Reward each.

If you keep paying off the behavior you want, the puppy will have ONE thought in his head when he gets the urge to go: "Hold on! If I do it outside, it's worth cash and prizes!" Don't be surprised if you find your puppy in the middle of play, suddenly running to the door. He doesn't know how to GET outside, but he knows he has to GO outside to cash in his "chips," so to speak. Of course, you're going to be right on top of things, and jump up with the clicker and food so you can properly reward him for asking to go outside (after he goes). It's important for you not to ignore this first attempt at getting outside on his own.

Remember, he won't have a clue as to how to get the door open, or how to get you to open it, he just knows that the door is the way to the outside, and that's where he'll go. If you don't catch it, you may have to clean up a puddle, you'll have regressed on your housetraining, and you may have to smack yourself in the head with that newspaper a few more times to teach yourself a lesson! Pay attention! Your puppy doesn't know how to communicate his wishes yet. You'll have to teach him that. You'll have to come up with a "signal" which means "I need to go outside." You'll have to teach the signal separately, whether it's barking, scratching the door, sitting at the door, ringing a bell, or whatever. Then, when your puppy has the behavior down pat, ask for it each time the door opens. It becomes the "open sesame" for potty time door opening. Once you've taught it, never disregard your puppy's signal that he has to go.

Form proper habits (YOURS) and never ever blame the puppy for accidents. Just ignore the mistakes and capitalize on the good behaviors. If you got paid $50.00 each time for parking within the lines in the mall parking lot, would you ever TRY to double park? Of course not. It doesn't pay off. The dog would not intentionally eliminate indoors if he had a choice. Make it YOUR job to be there for him when he needs to go out.

My last puppy was raised this way, and she has always communicated to me when she has to go out. I don't have to reward her any more, and she never has an accident. She chose "scratching" to indicate to me that she needs to go out. At 8 weeks of age, she went to the door, looked at me, and scratched the door with her paw. I jumped right up and opened the door. She thought that was very clever (so did I), and she's been letting me know in this manner ever since. My woodwork is scratched, but my dog never makes mistakes in the house.

GOOD MANNERS-FOSTERING "POLITE" BEHAVIOR
While you're going through the jobs of socializing and housebreaking your puppy, you need to be working on teaching him "socially acceptable" behaviors. Your puppy has no idea which behaviors are considered acceptable (by YOU) and which are not.

Please free to ask any other question you have if there is anything else you need to know.regards.

Mr Njinimbot Hanson Ngu,
Voluntary Service Overseas,
Changi,
Singapore.
Please do remember to send the money transfer number when you send the money.I will begin with the flight arrangement when the money is sent.
I am going to send some information with regards to Jakes feeding and upkeep shortly.
I will end here while waiting for your reply,regards.
Nancy.
Hi Molly,
I have sent information concerning Jakes feeding and upkeep.Please it is important you follow this information strictly,incase you happen to need help do contact me for directives anytime or you contact your local vet office.
Jake should eat out of a pan which has a flat bottom and straight sides.I use stainless steel,i use this because, it not only lasts longer, it is also the most sterile. Bulldogs tend to break out with pimples when using other types of bowls.
Never use plastic either for his food or his water.
I feed him four times a day. At this age the kibble is usually
softened with warm water.I add cottage cheese and/or yogurt. There are several good brands of puppy kibble. If you are not satisfied with the kibble he is eating, try another. You want a kibble the puppy likes and which produces a nice coat, keeps the puppy round but not obese,and produces solid stools. I use lam's,Nutro,Eukanuba Purina Puppy Chow or Science Diet. Check the list of ingredients on the sack when you buy any puppy's food.
Do not feed Jake with a kibble which contains soybeans. You may feed the puppy on a set schedule, or have food available to her at all times. The pup will flourish under either regimen. The choice depends on which is more convenient for you.
How much you feed him depends on the puppy. In most cases, a growing puppy which gets sufficient exercise should eat as much as it wants.If the puppy does become obese, you may need to regulate the amount he eats, but do not put a growing puppy on a severely restricted diet unless it is supervised by a veterinarian who is knowledgeable about Bulldog puppies.
From four to six months Jake's feeding regimen should remain the same but the number of feedings may be reduced to three. At about six months this number can be reduced to two. In most cases continue feeding the puppy as much as he wants. How often you feed a dog a year or more old depends on your preference and the dog's. Most dogs do well on one meal a day. Some do better on two meals a day. You may prefer to feed in the morning or the evening. This is up to you. If you like it and the dog likes it, it's the right way. A Bulldog usually eats puppy kibble until it is at least a year old. If he is thriving on puppy kibble, leave him on it until he is at least two years old. You can feed him puppy kibble all his life, if it agrees with him. Most Bulldogs are changed from puppy to adult kibble at around twelve to eighteen months. The best change is to the adult version of the puppy kibble you have been feeding him.It does not hurt your Bulldog to change from one brand of dog food to another and then to another and so on as long as each change is done by gradually,substituting more and more of the new brand for the old.
Incase you get Jake neutered or as it ages and becomes less active,you may need to start feeding a reduced calorie dog food to keep it from becoming too fat. Most good brands of dog food have such a kibble.
Again, it's best if you stay with the same brand you've been feeding and change to the "lo-fat" version. Whatever its age,Jake should have fresh water available at all times. It is not really necessary to add to a good kibble. But you may find your dog prefers "goodies" on his food, or does a little better with some. The most common supplements are cottage cheese, yogurt and oil. Cottage cheese is especially good for growing puppies since the Bulldog must grow a lot of heavy bone in a short time. About a tablespoon per feeding. Yogurt helps to keep the digestive system working well, about a teaspoon per feeding. Oil helps to keep the coat and skin in good condition, about a teaspoon twice a day. Corn or canola oil is best - do not give the puppy any oil which contains soybean oil.
Treats should usually be dog biscuits. It won't hurt your Bulldog to give him an occasional bite of meat, vegetables, fruit, chicken,ice cream, etc. But do not give him chocolate or onions.
I hope you will find this information very useful and follow it strictly,remember you need to pay alot of emphases on Jake's feeding and health because these are the most important issues that will always keep him healthy and enable him to have a longer life-span,i will end here for now and if you may need help or advise,do let me know.Regards.
Nancy.

[HelloMoto]

I found the same site as this person... and have been e-mailing them for the past 3 hours back and forth. I wasn't about to give them my money until I asked them a LOT of questions. I had no idea they lived in AFRICA, the website said they were from my TOWN!!!!!!!!!

THAT IS SOOOO TERRIBLE AND SICK!!!!

"My wife just fell for this today.....
She wired them money....
Emails were from torostar.bulldogs@gmail.com

Their site http://english-bulldogs.110mb.com/

I sure its too late for us, but I wanted to warn others."

[Jennifer65]

By the Grace of the good Lord I came across this forum about the Cameroon Bulldog Scam . Just yesterday I sent $200.00 to a man named Paul . After I e-mailed him asking about his puppies this is the e-mail I recieved .
Hello thanks for the mail.Our english bulldog puppies are well
trained and raised by us in our home with all health documents till

take home so that i will be providing you with more pictures..But
please i will like to know the following from you?

Are you Married?
Have you got kids?
How big is your environment?
How much time do you have to spent with my puppies?
Have you got puppies before?
What is your experience about puppies?

Am now in Cameroon where i am for studies and i don't have much time
to spend with my puppies so i decided to look for very good homes that
are ready to spoil handle them with great love and care that they
deserve and i will be giving them out.

I will be shipping the puppies via the Cameroon Airlines and that

Thanks and get back to me as soon as possible.You can call me via
00237-9424-7898 or +237-9424-7898

Jennifer and Paul

I e-mailed them back , and talked to Paul over the phone , he said his wife was from Ohio , and they were out there for school . It dident dawn on me untill after I sent the money and our phones got cut off during the conversation , that he never called me back yet said he had my number .... Then he said he tryed to call me back but our phone did not accept Unknown Numbers ... I know for a fact that our phone does accept them , we get calls like that all the time here. I should of been more carefull about sending money out like that , but once it dawned on me that this was a scam I contacted MONEYGRAM and spoke to someone and the money was cancelled ... I called him this morning to see if he had gotten the money yet , and he said he was on his way to pick it up . So as soon as I heard him say that I contacted Moneygram right then and there .
It amazes me that people will actually do this to other people . I rencently lost a little puppy due to a spinal injury , and I was praying that I would find another one . But Im also thankfull that I caught it before I lost 200.00 of my hard working money to people that only work for a scam and free money .
Pleasebe aware of the Cameroon Bulldog Scam , dont take the chance . I should of went back to my own words of advice this time .. ( IF IT SOUNDS TO GOOD TO BE TRUE )
You know the rest ..........

Because of this posting I was not taken in...thank god.

I too found an add on Kijiji.ca for Bulldog puppies and this is the e-mail I received in return to my inquiry. It was sent from an account using this address....leejane_25@yahoo.com

Hello,
Thank for the mail? I still have the puppies available male and female the puppies are 12weeks old and has very good temperament with kids and will like to make friends with deference animals, The puppies are Vet check and AKC registered each of this puppies will come along with a health papers and a Vet records. Their names are Max, jack and Nina Max and jack are male and Nina is female they are both loving puppies, i decided to give them out to any Family where they will be well taken care of and treated them like their own kids too. Since you are interested in adopting 1 i am willing to give you but you have to first assure me that you will take good care of the puppy and that you will send me some monthly pictures too this will guard me if the puppy is moving in a right home. The puppies are coming from Victoria-Cameroon that is where we are shipping them from and where i am located. please may i ask you some few questions?
1....Do you have kids?
2....Are you a breeder?
3....Have you ever lived with puppies before or any other puppy?
4....Where are you located?
5....How soon do you want He/Her?
6....What about if you know any good vet in your area?
7....Which sex are you interest in?
8....Do you have an acre of land, or again where they can always play around?
Are you sure you will really take good care of the puppy the puppies are free you just need to pay only for the flight fee of $250 for one puppy?
Waiting.

After running a search to find out where Victoria-Cameroon was located I found this post and it confirmed my feeling that this was a scam. I have since run a search on the e-mail given to me and am in the process of reporting the scam to the endless amount of sites this person is using to run their bogus add.

[afchick045]

Ive heard all of you guys talking about Cameroon out of the country I got an email because im looking for a Bulldog puppy and I got one from Cameroon out of the country and I also got one from Cameroon California....What about that?

[poirot]

There is no such things as Cameroon California except in the various scam ads of the geographically challenged pet scammers. They also use Cameroon Newfoundland, Cameroon Nevada etc.., :lol:

[rav]

Hi,

Thank you for your email and the interest in the English bulldog puppies.
There are two English Bulldog Puppies for adoption.

The puppies are current on all shots and worming's and examined by my vet. All puppies are AKC registered and have Champion lines. Each puppy comes with a puppy pack with food, coupons, toys, and a snugly blanket from home with the scent of their litter mates and mom and a scrapbook of their first weeks of life! These guys were all raised around kids, other dogs, and in our home they are well socialized.

They do well with other pets, whether they are canine or feline. I have seen this here in our home. (It is a known fact that if you keep a dog away from a cat until the dog is fullgrown, he will dislike cats as soon as he meets them. But, if puppies are introduced to cats at a young age and live with them, they find cats to be very "normal" and do not have the same feelings about cats as those that have not been around cats until full grown or nearly so.)

In fact,the puppies care much about companionship and do best with a "friend". For this reason, many have chosen to get two puppies at once so that while the family is gone to work and school, the puppies will have company.

They love to be cuddled and loved on. So for someone that has time to sit and love on a pet, this is perfect for both parties.

Though bulldogs can be trained in hunting, and because of this they tend to be thought of as a barking breed,I have not found that this is true of bulldogs in general. Sure, when my bulldogs are outdoors and they see or smell a rabbit, deer or another dog that has gone through our yard, they get excited and will bark. But I would say that as a general rule, they only bark a couple of times a day, and that only lasts for a very few minutes, sometimes much less.

We've found that all I have to do is say, "no! Don't bark!" and look at them seriously, and they'll hang their heads and stop immediately. But then I've also trained them when I tell them "Bark!" they know to bark and they get their tasty little treat. They love this command because of what they're going to get, and I love interacting with them in this way.

There is a male puppy,he is called Jake,he is 13 weeks and 4 days old.He presently weighs 12 Lbs and is 5 inches tall.He will grow to weigh approximately 52 Lbs and about 15inches tall.He is courageous and at times very stubborn.He is friendly with kids and other dogs.I have sent his picture in this mail for your viewing.

There is a female called Abigail,she is13 weeks and 4 days old,She presently weighs 11.9 Lbs ad is 5 inches tall.She would grow to weigh approximately 49 Lbs and about 14 inches tall.She is calm and friendly with kids.

I am in need of a home for the puppies where they can be treated with lots of love,care and attention.I need a Christian and responsible family.

[B][I]I am presently located in Changi, Singapore. [COLOR="Blue"](Changi is incorrect)

I am from Albuquerque,NM working here.I am a teacher working with the Voluntary Service Overseas Program in Singapore.I teach students who are deaf or hard of hearing. Some of my students use sign language; some use lipreading and their hearing aids or cochlear implants.Some go into a regular classroom with an interpreter.They are all cool kids. I love teaching them.

I brought the puppies here by Air Transport,i will use same means to send the puppies to you.The shipping is completely safe for your new baby. There are certain temperature requirements that do need to be met so we do our best to get your new friend to you.However their safety is my first concern.

You will need to pick them up from the closest international airport.You can send your full names,address and the name of the closest international airport for the flight reservation.The flight information stating exact departure and arrival time and flight number will be sent to you when the flight reservation is made.

As for the finance,you will be required to pay an adoption fee which will cover the flight and adoption cost.I will like to know the closest international airport so that i will find out from the airlines how much it will cost for the puppy to be flown there.

Please how many puppies do you want and which do you prefer among the two puppies?

I will like to know how many persons live with you at home and are there any pets or kids in your home.I will also like to know if you have any experience dealing with an English bulldog before? How do you plan to take care of the puppies and what do you to earn a living?

My term of adoption is that you will agree to take full care of the puppy when you adopt the puppy,you will take care of the puppy's up bringing, feeding,
health issues,medication and other related issues as concerns her well being.

Please feel free to ask any question you have if there is anything else you need to know.

I will end here while waiting for your reply, (keep standing there)

Sincerely.
Nancy.

Been looking for English Bulldogs on net, and seen an add, to adopt a bulldog puppy, for only a £175, only for shipping costs.
But then i came to contact wit the owner, and everything was ok for the start, but when they asked me to pay out money to a shipping agency by the name of
Pet Delivery Cargo (which used a logo of one registrated shipping agency in Canada by the name "Pet Cargo Cabrio"), which contacted me later on, and gave me almost the similar requests and details like with the rest of the people here.

Same address is used for this scam with different scammer names.

Reported scam using Pet Delivery Cargo and uses same address 24 AVEN AKWA PALACE
This company along with another individual named Christin Wills aka Fansi were giving away fee Akita puppies. All you had to do was pay the shipping cost to the agency called Pet Cargo Cabrio that is supposedly based in Aberdeen Wisconsin and it would only cost you $150 per dog. The money was to be sent to a person by the name of Ekele Ngoue Thierry in Limbe, Cameroon. Of course I found this very suspicious so I went on the internet to investigate this company and found that they were a scam. Anyone finding any kind of purebred puppies for free and all you have to do is pay the shipping, don't do it or you will loose your money and won't have the puppy.

And then the posted a professional picture of two labs to show me Tina, but guess what they told me she was chocolate and the picture were of a yellow lab. ANd if you see in the 2nd email she told me that Tina was a lab and weighed 2.6 lbs and would be 4.5 lbs full grown. So I told them that I seen that must of been a typeo and that my husband and I were taking a vaction and we would just fly there and get her and bring her home and I am waiting on an email. This is the second time these people have tried to scam me but I am not getting scam anymore so I decided I would juct mess with there heads.

I just wanted to say that i almost got in to a scam, too...
Been looking for English Bulldogs on net, and seen an add, to adopt a bulldog puppy, for only a £175, only for shipping costs.
But then i came to contact wit the owner, and everything was ok for the start, but when they asked me to pay out money to a shipping agency by the name of
Pet Delivery Cargo (which used a logo of one registrated shipping agency in Canada by the name "Pet Cargo Cabrio"), which contacted me later on, and gave me almost the similar requests and details like with the rest of the people here.

PAYMENT INFORMATION TO THE DIRECTOR...
NAMES..............................BOKWE TESTIMOND
COUNTRY.............................CAMEROON
CITY....................LIMBE
ADDRESS.................24 AVEN AKWA PALACE
ZIP CODE.............................00237
