Check out the emails below (start from the bottom and work your way up). In fairness I knew that this was a scam from the get-go, but there are obviously a lot of gullible people out there.
Anyone that asks for money upfront is a fraud, so be careful.

Hi,
I feel like I have entertained you for long enough now, so I'm just going to tell it how it is.
Firstly, before you try and scam any other people into believing that you actually have a puppy for sale you need to check your story for flaws, because believe me, yours has plenty! One minute you said that you were moving to Scotland, now suddenly you're off to live in Wales for three months- yet some how you can still get the puppy to this 'pet delivery service' which is based in Cameroon?! Unlikely.
Secondly, your English and grammar are awful! Your emails rarely made any sense and it was quite clear that you weren't the business savvy person that you were trying to (badly) masquerade as.
Thirdly, your little website 'Pet Air Delivery Cargo' has been deleted by the host Lycos after being foiled as a fake. So it's obviously time for you to create another one. Although I would suggest that you spend a bit more time on the graphics and layout of the new one if you expect people to believe that it is genuine.
Another point to bear in mind is that no reputable (or genuine) company would expect people to pay in advance for a pet to be delivered to them. Payment would always be settled once the pet was delivered safely to the recipients address.
And last but not least, there are already plenty of people out there that are onto you and your lame attempts to extract money out of innocent people. Check the link below.

In fairness, I knew that you were a fraud from the start, so I have probably taken up a lot of your time that you could have otherwise been focusing on scamming other people- you may have even lost money through it. I guess that's what they call justice!

Hi,
That's fine, I can come and collect her when you get back from Wales.
I think it would be best for you to meet me in person so that you can check my references etc.
If that isn't convenient for you I can arrange for a pet delivery service and will pay them once the puppy arrives.
Thanks

Thanks for getting back to me.
Would it be possible to come and collect the puppy from you directly?
That way I can give you vet references etc.

Hi,
Thanks for getting back to me.
I am not married and I do not have any children. But I do own my own house and have a large back garden.
Can I ask how much the adoption fee is?
Thanks again
