When I was looking for my new puppy. Almost every add here that was in the local paper (online) was a SCAMMER FROM CAMEROON!!

Don't trust any of those emails. I finally just started calling people who gave local numbers. I am going to say that 90% of the ads listed were SCAMS. Burns my #$#

Don't give up your search and you wil find a precious baby. NEVER SEND ANY MONEY BEFORE YOU GET THE DOG.

When I was looking for Chloe I got about 5 replies from Cameroon and one from New Mexico. They were all clearly scams.

I got 2 or 3 with very poor grammar like the one you got. One was from a "minister." Every other word was something religious trying to entice me into buying it. He even said something about being so happy that he found a wonderful Christian to adopt his puppy. All I had said to him before then was "How much is your puppy?"

There are so many scams out there and I hope no one gets sucked in, though I know many do.

They don't even make sense. If you look up about scams on the internet from people selling puppies it will flat out tell you do not buy anything from Camroon. I had somone trying to sell me two AKC registered Yorkies for $280 and that covered shipping. They were only like 8wks old. When I told her my husband wouldn't let me buy them she asked me to sneak the money behind his back let her ship them and said somone down here wanted to buy the puppies from me for $600. She made no sense!!! She was going to do anything to get my $280. lol

This maybe lengthy but I to have something regarding Cameroon. It was posted on the local craigslist that i just happened to be snooping on. First is the email then the conversation threw yahoo messy.

Thanks for getting to me in regards of my
puppies.They are 3months old and presently
weighing 2pound.They are expected to get up
to 3.5-4.5pounds in full growth.All my puppies
are presently deworm,vet checked and with
health record perfect.They are also going to
come with a health guarantee of one year.
I just wish that any person who is
getting a puppy should take good care of the
puppy cos that is just all i want.The reason
i am giving the pups away for free is that,i
am very busy with my job and have little or
no time for them since as my wife is no
more.Please if you will not be able to give
the love and care they deserve then pls
don't contact any longer.What any interested
person is required to do to get a puppy is
that he/she is going to pay for the flight
of the puppy either to me or directly to the
airport so that as soon as they confirm to
me that they have the money,i am going to
take the puppy for the airport for the next available flight.What i will need from you
is that you get back to me with your full
address and closest airport to your
location so that it will be clipped onto the
crate in which the puppy would be in to
avoid any delivery mistake.get back to me
for more info and pics. I am going to be responsible for the
shipping and the delivery fee to your location.All what you are required to
pay for is the flight crate
which is 102$ cos the puppy will be ship from my location Cameroon
Which is just 7hours flight to the states.I am very
sure
that this is going to be save cos i always fly pups
during their sleeping hours to avoid stress and more to
that they is a PETCARE SECTION of the plane which
always do
watering and Feeding of all pets on flight.
