Just a reminder, folks. There's no point in showing a scammer this site. Showing them that there is a thread that contains details about their scam is not going to make them quit scamming. The most they will do is go out and change their email address and fake name, which actually makes it HARDER for other people to find this information and avoid being scammed.

It may make you feel "one up" on the scammer to point out how you spotted their scam, but it accomplishes nothing useful. It may even prevent others from finding out before it's too late.

DO NOT BUY A PET FROM k_willystore@yahoo.com. HE IS A SCAMMER AND SAYS HE IS A MISSIONARY OF GOD. BE CAREFUL!! I ALMOST LOST MY MONEY!

This message definitely helped me. I inquired about a precious little puppy listed for adoption in the classifieds of my city's largest paper, and I got the same story as detailed below. Missionary doing work in Africa and wanting to ship her precious puppy back to the states becasue she could no longer take care of it. Carolina Mathew is the supposed Yorkie owner (and missionary) and she too asked me to contact a pet transoprtation company, after requesting my first and last name as they appear on my drivers license - which I did not provide! I was obviously very suspicious at this point and contacted the pet delivery company. I recived an e-mail from petdelivery@rocketship.com stating that the company name was Delta Pet Airline, then a subsequent email stating the name was Virgin Pet Airline.....Big red flag. The pet coordinators name was Kelvin Mike. I was researching the web to see if I could find any informaiton on pet shipping scams and luckely found this website...THANKS!!!!

They are hiding behind God saying they are honest people only taking honest peoples money. DON'T FALL FOR IT!!!!! They aren't that good, this man even emailed me thinking i was another victim it's rediculous. He even went to the extent of calling me. It's craziness and needs to be stopped. he called from number 234-802-9475189 . well i hope this helps someone i know this web page helped me.

[missamerica32]

I'm on a roll, I suppose...I've stumbled upon yet another Yorkie scammer! Here's the email I got from this lady:
-------
Thanks for your mail ,I am giving out the puppy coz I will first wish to inform you that i just relocated to Cameroon from the USA, as a result of my new job as part of a large team working to alleviate the conditions suffered by victims of HIV/AIDS in Cameroon and other countries,my puppy have been my favorite companions for the last 9weeks but since i got this job and moved with her to Cameroon i have hardly spent adequate time loving and caring for her. I am really disturbed since love and concern is what the puppy need most to carry on. Hence i have decided to give her out to any loving and caring home out there which will show her lots of love and concern and carter properly for her and the weather and climatic condition here is not good for her living which may make her sick even to suffer,and i don't want that to happened to her.I will always want her to be happy for the rest of her life,so just wish to give her back there to a good loving and caring home as well .All you have to do is paying just her flight fees to your location and she is yours and you must be able to keep in touch with me on phone and email to let me know how she is doing and equally send me pictures of puppy at your home once every month. If you agree to accomplish all these,then i will be very ready
to give her out to you,

waiting to read back from you...................

This person is calling themself Nina Wallace & the puppy is Jenny...here is the ad:

Here is her email address:
ninawallace4real@gmail.com

------------------------

I'm not planning on wasting anymore time corresponding with this idiot.

They almost got me. I thought that I was to go to the custome department to actually pay the money for the papers and the dog. I googled the name Camair pets Health Care so that I could get a physical number to speak to someone in person to see what was going on with the dog. Sending money via electronically just did not make sense. I am so glad I followed my first mind:
this is the email confirming that the dog had arrived:

Those are usually satellite services that serves West Africa.

[Nyla]

Canadian and US IP addresses may actually be the free webmail server as opposed to the IP of the sender. It's rather unlikely the sender is actually in Canada or the States.

Looks like I was going to get scammed to. Thank god I googled the pet service and found this web page. Look what they sent me...I had 2 different people trying to scam me.

Good to read from you well you can still pay is that ok by you so can you contact the airport via mail (camair_petservice6@myway.com) for that is that ok by you so Regards my location, well as i said am Re-located in British Cameroon and you don't have to bother coz it will takes just about 7hrs 36mins to arrive your Location is that ok by you,and Regards the shipments you don't need to worried about because they will be ship safely ship(micro chipped) and guarantee against (congenital defect ) .and they will be delivered to you at your home by the delivery agent (micro chipped agent), is that ok by you?

I was so excited to get my English bulldog puppy too, from a seemingly very caring owner who would miss her baby. Found out today after I had sent $265 Western Union for the airport ticket that it had to be a scam after reading some sites like these. I decided to look for more information on the airport, well the fake one, to find out more about another $500 they had to have to put insurance on the puppy. Once I began to look for the information I starting coming across tons of fraud cases involving pets in Cameroon, so I refused to send anymore money. The woman claiming to send the dog and the airport both have emailed me back claiming to be upset and explain their policy as a last minute attempt to try to get me to send the money before the puppy missed his flight. The airport emailed me back and said they can send my money back when I let them know I thought it was a fraud and would not pay the insurance fee. That was just today, doubt the money will ever come though. The ad I read the classified on is now gone saying that is had been reported as a scam by another person who had probably been scammed too. I typed the name of woman in the ad and found other ad sites where she currently has ads posted. I sent an email to one notifying them it was a scam, but the other ad is located on a UK site. The name of the woman was Christine Muilla email was christinmlla@yahoo.com. Claimed she was from the US and was in Cameroon as a rep. The money was sent to an airport "cashier" Akah Elvis in Buea Douala, zip code 00237 airport email was pet_control@AirportEmail.com phone number: 23799122876 Supposed to be Douala international airport. I take this as a lesson learned. Saw a dog I adored at a great deal and jumped at the chance without thinking enough and checking things out enough. My intention was to check things out through the airport, but that don't work when it is a fake set up airport. I did try to look up the real airport number, because that airport does exist, but the number they have listed is not longer their current phone number.

i was trying to get a dog from doh bertrand he told me all he wanted was 90 dollars for the flight back because he wasnt able to spend enough time with the puppy. and then he had me transfer it using western union to his son frunwi Fredrick. and then the next day tries to get me to send him 220.99 for insurance because they wont send the dog w/o it but when i pick up the dog they will give me 200 back...i was like uh im not sending you more money and he even went to the extent of creating a new email and saying he was the pet carrier(Cameroon continental pet mover) that was going to transfer her here...but he also said on the phone, yes they called me saying they were 2 different people when they sounded the same, and on the phone said he was the one who had been emailing me but then was like no no no i have your email i havent been emailing you. so i finally sent both email address' an email saying im not sending money i will sign something saying that i will pay them when i get the dog or whatever and they stopped bugging me. i wasnt worried about eh 90 bucks but i dont want some1 else to send them money so i thought i would share.

Another email address received today: Lina Smith - linasmith1@gmail.com

[fallen angel]

I had made a post on a local board looking for a basset hound puppy for a gift. I had recieved an email stating this person had a puppy, last in the litter and asked me to email them back as soon as possible.
After a few emails back and forth about this puppy, health ect. They stated their information, and requested payment by western union and how they would take care of the adoption fee for me and all i had to pay was the 260$ to get the puppy sent by air to me. They also stated how the airport would even deliver the puppy to me free of charge.
Well after speaking with my sister about this puppy and all, we thought it would be a great idea to get it. She was all ready to run out and get the money sent by western union. Ive been fighting with myself trying to decide wether or not to actually go through with it. Well I decided to check my email one more time to see if there was a message left by the owner of this dog i was supposed to purchase. Something just didnt feel right to me, so i did a google search which led me here, and i am so thankful i did!!
The email came from a Nillo(pets_lover2003@yahoo.com)
The information they sent me
Receivers name........................................................ ..Mbah Nche
Country..................................................... ................Cameroon
State....................................................... ..................Limbe
Address..................................................... ..............#12 airport road
Zip code........................................................ .............00237
Test question.................................................... .......Who??
Answer...................................................... ................God

There was alot of talk of religion from the sender in their emails and how they could be trusted, ect and trying to assure me nothing would happen.
If i didnt google and come across this site, i might have been out quite a bit of money.
Thank you to everyone here! You saved me alot of time and money!
