Thanks for posting the details. I'm really glad you managed to get your money back.

This is worth mentioning. When you send money by Western Union, it's lost the minute the thief picks it up, but until that time, you can go back to the WU office and ask that the transfer be stopped.

This is the reason these criminals always ask that you send them the MTCN number and/or the Question and Answer as soon as possible. They waste no time in picking up that stolen money.

Thumbs down found another scam

I lost $1850.00 on this one. Supposed insurance and shipment from Cameroon was G Shipment. They had a website and everything. It's gone now. I wish i knew about the scams before hand. The names are Muma and schwartz. They are putting capuchin monkeys up for adoption $500 USD. The cargo got stuck in france for documentation and i had to send more money before it got quarantined. The monkey was sent back to the sender go figure! There are no monkeys.

I'm sorry you where scammed by these thieves.

We have reported over 70 of these fake web sites to Tripod in the past few days, an all where quickly shut down by Tripod. It shows the determination of these criminals.

What you describe is typical of their scam. The animal, be it monkey, bulldog, yorkie, cat, parrot, is stuck in transit and more money is requested for new documents. They hope that you have build up an attachment to the animal and are using that sympathy to extort money from you.

These crooks don't own a single animal, much less an airline as they sometimes pretend to.

Beware as they may try the Recovery scam on you as they have on other victims.

Please note that it's illegal to import primates into most countries including the U.S.A. and had there been a real capuchin coming, it would never have made it through custom and you would have lost all money invested.

Yes, it's a scam. Or at least it looks almost exactly like at least a dozen other examples of the bulldog scam. These people's only "mission" is to steal your money. There's no puppy.

I repeat, it's my very strong personal opinion that you should go to your local pet store, animal shelter or puppy breeder in order to buy a dog. Don't purchase dogs over the internet. Particularly not from people in other countries. This puppy is presumably going to be coming into your house as "part of the family". You should meet your prospective pet face to face before you adopt them and make sure they come from a good environment that you've seen with your own eyes, not order them from a total stranger like they're a pair of shoes.

Also, there are strict import/export rules on moving animals from country to country. Even if you get the dog, there's a good chance it's going to suffer hours in a cold cargo hold in some plane, then get shuffled around the airport like a piece of luggage, then be held in quarantine for some time. Is that really something you want to do to an animal when there are thousands of the same breed already in your own country?

In reply to kuuipo , this is a scam. Email address edward_john_pup@yahoo.com was used in scam postings in several places.

This is an extremely busy Cameroon criminal gang and they have placed thousands of ads all over on classified sites in North America and Europe. On many sites, their ads exceed the legitimate ones.

I have never seen a single legitimate pet export from Cameroon, every single one where a scam.

As Nyla stated, trying to import an animal or bird from Africa will most surely involve a scammer, and in any case, would hardly be fair for the animal if it was legitimate. And if you are after a specific breed, and the price is ridiculously low, or free for adoption, it's likely a scam.

Then he said he had the $60 all i needed to send was the $40. It took me like 2 weeks but i eventually sent it. He gave me the name FRU ELVIS to send it to because he said he couldn't pick it up cause he had an emergeny at his office and that was his secretary. Something inside of me knew it was wrong but i did it! The next day he & the airport emails me and say that the pup is at the airport and they needed the money i told him i sent it and they said no...the didn't know a FRU ELVIS. So they told me that i had been FRAUDED. So the airport emailed me the next day saying this:

Hello,
Thanks for your mail regarding my puppy,She is still available to any one
prepared to provide her with enough care and love,where she will be well spoiled
with all her need.She is 13weeks old and has very good temprament with kids and other pets,very playful love to play around with toys and kids,she is health
guaranteed and registered,vet checked.she is up to date on all her shots and
will be coming along side her health papers and vet records.As you can see in
the attachment below is her pictures and hopping you will love it.
The reason why I am giving her out for adoption is because working hours are
too much for me and it gives me no time to take care of her and also the weather
and climate here is not good for her living which might make her sick and you
know that I won't like that to happened so i decide to give her out to a family
where she will be well taken care of and treated like a daughter.and since you
are interested in adopting her,I am willing to give to you but you have to first
assure me that you will take good care of her and that you will send her pics to
me monthly so that I can see how she is doing in her new home.I am located in
Cameroon .Please if I may ask you some few questions.

Do you have kids?
Are you a breeder?
Do you have other pets?
Where do you live?
How soon do you want her?

Are you sure that you will really take good care of her? get her pictures below.I
hope you will love her, and if that is ok by you then I am waiting to read from
you as soon as possible thanks.

Yes, you can drop contact and ignore them. They'll go away soon enough.

They can't do much with your name and email but sell it to other scammers.

This began with my interest into a Yahoo ad of a teacup Yorkie that was listed for adoption. This is what I got....
rev.raymond.doglas@gmail.com

Hello,

Thanks for your interest in my puppies,i am out of the state so where i was now i brought my puppies with me thinking that i will see a well comfortable place for them to stay but to my suprice there is no space for them and the weather of the place is not well pleased with the puppies so i just decided to adopt them back to the state,they are well healthy and well ok and there shorts is up to date,am just asking for the shipping fee only and this cost just only $300 per puppy,if you are cannot afford the two you can also take one of the puppies i just have a male and a female,but if you are willing to have the two its ok,but just promise me that you will take very good care oof the puppies if not i will not be happy and i like to see the puppies pics as soon as you have adopt the puppies to your family,plz get back to me as soon as possible with you choice.

Thumbs down Maltese

We just got scammed for $350.00 for a 4 lb Maltese. We lost our a couple of years ago to congestive heart failure. This really hurt my wife and she still feels the pain. I would do anything in my power to help her. Well, I saw the ad for a Maltese puppy for $350.00. The lady said she was from Bell Fountain, AL. I saw the ad on oogle.com in the Spokane area. I contacted a local breeder and they said that they rquest wired payment for their puppies also. So I figured they were on the up and up. No such luck! I wired the money and then the nest day they sent me the shipping ticket showing the departure and arrival times in a ticket format. Leaving DOUALA and arriving in Seattle. Then I got the message of the need for insurance and then I knew that it was a scam. They wanted another $300.00 and I told them I did not have it so they lowered it to $100. Told them I still did not have it and I figured at that time I had lost the $350.00. I contacted the web site and informed them. It looks like the ads have been removed. I feel sorry for the other on there because I will not use it again. I have a letter to King5 news to sent because they are doing a special on internet pet purchases. And I will be sending the information to the IC3 site. I have all the e-mails and messgaes I have received. I still have the shipping form also.
I wish I would have heard of this site before I looked for a puppy. I just want to see the the light in my wifes eyes shine again, she has lost it since the death of Baby (our Maltese). What else can I do to help your web site?
