Yorkie Scam from Cameroon

I have several addresses to list here for everyone to be aware of. I have been out of work and looking for weeks to adopt a yorkie. I am very gullible and it took my husband showing me this site to open my eyes. That and the fact that I lost nearly $400. So here are some of the ones I have come in contact with:

rosemarygilma@gmail.com
This lady I even told about the scamming and she said that I could just pay the airport for the flight and when I received the puppy pay the $200 adoption fee. I will post the email from the airport at the bottom.

jennypez4eva@yahoo.com
She is advertising a japanese chin for adoption.

evangelisejane@aol.com
She is a missionary in Cameroon

The one that I sent the $400 to was Mike Samuel of chenpup2008@yahoo.com.
He was very professional sounding:
Hello ,

Thanks for the email ,i have to do the paperwork and the cost of the paper is $350 and the shipping to you is $150 so get back to me the exact name you want on the paper and your full address so i will forward you the agent information for the payment

Hello xxxxx,

Thanks for the email,that is the agent will do the paper and the paper will be an hour to be finish once the agent confirm the payment i will ship you the baby asap,Await your quick response for you to have the baby today once the payment is done.

Hello xxxxx,

It's seems you dont understand me very well, the agent that will handle the papers work instruct that you should payed the money through western union for the urgency of the matter and plz immediately you received the puppy,kindly send to me my balance ,i dont want you to betrayed me ,i'm using this opportunity to beg you with the name of God.
As soon as you make the payment,get back to me with the information as this below here:

await your quick response.

Mike

Hello xxxxx,

Thanks for the mail, i should be the one to be curious about my balance but i'm doing this based on our conversation and plz dont let me down as soon as you received the puppy.

I've gave you the agent information to give them at the western union earlier and here is it again:

DEMOLA BALLEY
140 Bath Road,
Hayes Middlesex,
UB3 5AW
Phone Number: +447024023640

Immediately they confirmed the receipt of the payment,the puppy will be shipped and i will also get back to you with the information to received the puppy.await your quick response asap.

Hello xxxxx,

Kindly be more specific and let me know what's going on,how long do you want me to hold the puppy ? just let me know between now and tomorrow so that i can know what to do at the right time.await your quick response asap

Hello xxxxx,

Top of the day and how is your family? i dont expect you to talk like unbelievers because i'm 100% honest with you, i'm very very sorry for the delay in shipping the puppy ,we got a little problem,after the agent has finished all the papers work we proceed to the shipment and it's sadding when they told us that without the puppy is being insured we will not be able to shipped the puppy out. and we've already booked the flight and also i bought a new cage as well. so kindly respond back so that we know how to pay the insurance fees asap.

Hello xxxxx,

Top of the day and how you doing lately? you funny somehow do you really serious that you've not heard of puppy insurance before? though puppy has to be insured and the agent advice we do it immediately so that we can finalise this matter asap and also he's ready to do it at the cheaper rate. await your quick response asap.

Hello xxxxx,

Plz i'm very very sorry for this delayed,i knew how your husband might have feel but it's not my fault as well if not the insurance policy that caused all this mess the puppy might have been with you now.

Honestly speaking I should have payed the insurance earlier before now but due that i've concluded my plan to sell the lovely baby that's while i dont bother to insure the puppy,as a matter of facts,the agent has been to three difference insurance company and here is their price ,1.$1200 2.$1500 3.$750.

So he advice we go for the lowest amongs them all and the puppy is ready to come , as a matter of facts, the puppy insurance is for the benefit of you as well and she is coming with all the papers including the insurance receipt as well. await your quick response in other for us to know how to pay the insurance fees of $750.

i wouldn't caused any problem between you and your husband,just let me know what you can afford then i will also know what to do to assist you on insurance matter,as a matter of facts,i should be the one to payed it but since i've decided to sell the puppy that's while i dont bother to pay it anylonger.as i said earlier i'm very very sorry for the delayed in the shipment.

Those are the majority for him.

There are still ads for hatson petscare@yahoo.com petscare@yahoo.com carlpets00@yahoo.com , danwhitepets@yahoo.com , carlpets00@yahoo.com , danwhitepets@yahoo.com and they answered three of my queries to different ads, one right after the other.

lynn pups@yahoo.com , badgercrest101@yahoo.com,claire stacey@yahoo.com.

Hello and thanks for the mail.they are both female and male yorkies.they are 13weeks old. well, they will be costing you $350 for the adoption fee and shipping fee ok.right now, i am not concern with the shipping ok because the cameroon airlines have their own policies of shipping pets. you will have to pay this money at the pets department in the cameroon airline and get back to me after you have pay the shipping and adoption fee at the airport, then i will take the puppies to them and they will ship them to you.i am not in the possition to collect any money from you ok. untill you receive the puppies, then they will have to release the money to money. that is the way they do things here ok. i hope this will keep both of us at the safe side.i promise you that , they is no need to be afraid because your money will be keep in holding untill you receive the puppies. you can contact the airport via this email cameroon_airline1@mail2world.com, thanks for writing.

MY REPLY: Maria Sanchez <UNDISCLOSED EMAIL>
Beautiful puppy, are the both the same or two different ones? What is the age of them and what do you expect for costs? I do not really feel comfortable with sending full payment, can we negotiate something? Let me know your thoughts and I promise you that I would take very good care of the puppy, I am not a breeder just a family that is looking to have an addition as part of our family. Thanks again

Thank you, this now gives me peace of mind, I didn't not mean to sound offensive, there's much going around the world-wide web and it's very difficult to immediately put trust into someone. I'm sorry, I will be in touch. I really love your teacup yorkies, do you have additional pics of them? again, my apologizes and I thank you very much for your reassurance of yourself.

I feel this sounds quite fishy to me, on you posting, your location has been reported as in Canada, YOU ARE NOT IN CANADA, you must be a scam artist, if no, prove by providing your legal name, address, and telephone number, otherwise, I will confirm this transaction cannot be trusted.

Thanks for your mail and the interest in my puppy.She is still available. She is Akc registered and vet checked. She will make a very good home pet. She loves moving and smelling flowers.She plays just like a 3 year old kid.She loves her name so much so that when you call her she will just jump and bark.She is potty trained and current on all her shots. She will come along with all her documents and toys in her puppy packet including her vaccination schedule. She is very friendly to kids and goes along with all house hold pets.She is the best companion to have around. So if you are adopting her, you will have to promise me of not just taking great care of her but loving and caring for her.So get back to me with your full names, address, phone number.I will be shipping her from the great lakes county of Cameroon. I just left for the great lakes county of Cameroon 4 days ago and when i arrived, i discovered the weather conditions here are no good for her. More so, i do not want any thing to happen to her so i want to ship her back to any one ready to take good care of her. Also do get back to me with the address of the nearest airport to you where you will like to pick her up so that we can proceed with how she gets to arrive to your home. hope to read from you soon.

MY REPLY: Maria Sanchez <UNDISCLOSED EMAIL>
Hey there, I just spoted your ad in tradepoint.ca, do you still have her? Just wanted to know why you were giving her away? Is she purebred? She is absolutely beautiful.

He then attached his "so-called" permanant residency card which I can send to you if you need to see.
Thanks, Maria from Winnipeg, Manitoba

Maria, there is no "maybe". IT'S A SCAM.

The I.D. card likely belongs to one this thief's previous victim so it's best not to post it anywhere. Simply delete the file from your computer.

BEWARE OF THIS EMAIL ADDRESS, IT'S A SCAM

mrandmrsvilcapoma@gmail.com>

SAYS his wife is a diplomat and there will be no money asked for. That is until he suprisingly finds out that there is a shipping cost of $256. Then he offers to split it with you and provides a US bank account to wire transfer funds. Beware of his partner this web site for shipping. It's all a scam.

Cry There is a Paster too... What is this world

Hi,

I am sorry that you came a bit late and the puppies have been sold to one Mr Nicky Veron some weeks ago who is now willing to give these two beutiful Yorkshire Terrier puppies out for free adoption to good home . He is now in West Africa on his missionary work and still praying that your home fulfill his babies dreams.

His name is Rev Nicky Veron and you can write him at the email below. Tell him the breeder that he asked to help him put the puppies on adoption refered you to him regarding his 2 cute Yorkshire Terrier puppies (Larry & Debby) that he wants to give away for free to your good home.

Let me know when you get the babies. Please you have to assure him that you will provide the best home for the babies so that he will consider you for the babies.

Email Rev Nicky Veron at revnickyveron@yahoo.com contact him asap.

Best Regards.

Jeff Eigenberger.

That is the best way i can help you ok.i am still waiting for my wife in canada to transfer some money to me. if she do that earlier,then i will ship you the puppy.
thanks.

thank you again, i will not be proceeding with this tranaction, contact via email with the airport is not sufficient for me to proceed with this transaction. I have not been able to contact a live person to speak with on my occassions that have tried to call the airport, i am not going to just leave a message. They have given me several reason for not being able to answer the telephone (a death, network problem, person on duty was not at this desk), this is not acceptable to me especially for an airline company, there should always be some that should be answering the phone, thank you, please make another transaction with another buyer.

It's a scam. It looks exactly like the, literally, hundreds of other pet scams from Cameroon. Please see the link in my signature for more information.

Great Watchout

Thanks to all who have posted, is nice to know there's others in the same position and who clearly have honest heart to continue to look out for others. I will continue to do the same and disheartens me that there are ppl who do this kind of s**T, it really ticks me off! I'll keep posted as I come across more to warn others!

Now, I don't know much about Air France or Cameroon, but I'm quite sure that Air Frances head office isn't in Cameroon.

45, rue de Paris
95 747 Roissy CDG Cedex
Where the actual head office is.

I haven't heard anything of a scam involving shipping animals before I started sending e-mails to people claiming to have puppies and claiming to live in a certain place. More than half of their replies were containing the country of Cameroon.
I started getting suspicious straight away. So, now I'm in talks with another person claiming to be from Aberdeen, UK. Air France is the selected airline to ship the puppy (if there actually is one) but the money will be sent to Cameroon, where the head office is...

I got an e-mail from this person saying I would need to pay before getting the puppy. Now, I immediately got suspicious again and said that I wouldn't make a payment before seeing the puppy, I asked if they would pay and I'd promise to pay them back. The person then replied that they only could afford 40pounds of the supposed 90pounds shipping fee.

Am I right to be cautious here?

The person replied back to me about 2 days ago saying that if I couldn't trust them then the puppy would be going elsewhere. So I sent an e-mail back saying that I would just go up to Aberdeen and collect the puppy. I said I could probably get up there next week. I asked for the address and phone number.

2 days later no reply.

I also sent an e-mail to the alleged airline people. No response.
