Cameroon Pet animal export scam

Don't let them use their scare tactics on you. They cannot do a thing, as they are the criminals. Glad you caught them.

That's an empty threat. He'll never ever do that as it would expose him. Seriously, you've nothing to worry about

[Sunny]

Hi, thanks for the replies I just hate the fact that he has my address and might use it for his other scams

[ThatGrrl]

Heya Sunny,

If they've got your address, keep an eye on your credit rating for a while. That's the most common use that a scammer has for an address, is to take out credit in a victim's name. And they may, possibly, try to send you cheques to cash and send back the difference by WU. If that's the case take the cheques to the police.

Hello Debs1, welcome to the forums,

I hate to say it but you've to accept that the money is gone forever. There's no way to get it back or to prosecute the scammer as all informations that you have are bogus. There's no dog, no missionary worker, no woman. Just you and the scammer. It sounds easy to say, but you can be glad that you didn't lose more. Many victims have lost 4 digit sums and more in this scam.

Debs1, you may sit down and take a deep breath and If you have any further questions, do not hesitate to ask.

One of the best ways I found to deal with these scammers is that when I get an e-mail form one, I report it to their e-mail hosting service for fraud. Many many have lost their e-mail accounts. yeah, they can just register again, but in the meantime,all the adds they posted with that e-mail are useless. Anyone they were trying to scam suddenly is out of touch.

Thanks fightthescammers, that type of effort is constructive.

Ha, this is an interesting takee 'you can have a free puppy if you post an add for me". Guess the website in question blocked the scammers IP addresses.

You don't give much information.

But...

1. Where exactly are these puppies supposed to be? NC? or CA? They're 3,000 miles apart!

2. The phone number is a mobile in San Antonio, TX.

Those two facts would make me awfully suspicious.

[poirot]

You're right Frazzle, 210-787-4125 is used in ads selling puppies under the name of Jily Brown (Austin, Texas)

and also Jillian Chappel (Santa Cruz, California)


and raymondpets of Schenectady, New York,

Is this a legit website? Or is it just being used by scammers.

Hi,

I think i may be getting scammed but i am not sure. I came across an ad on a website, for an english bulldog for adoption. So obviously i inquired about the puppy. They sent me pictures of 2 dogs that i could chose from, i chose which one i would like. Told me the cost would only be 70 dollars for the papers. The reason why they were up for adoption, is because they could not keep it because of work conditions or something of that nature. Then the guy calls me today from an unknown number, obviously didnt know english very well.. and asks me if i can send the money to him today. This is before i found this site, so i did. However, the guy is still emailing me.. and yet always is able to answer emails in a quick and timely fashion. I sent the money to a FRU CARLSON.. and everything seemed legit. however, i am supposed to receive the puppy tomorrow. which now i think is doubtful. but who steals 70 DOLLARS??!
