| 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.

| 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. BEST REGARDS yahoo messy: * Mellisa * (3/24/2007 9:55:38 PM): hello kelly briete (3/24/2007 9:56:37 PM): I AM WRITING IN REGARDS OF THE YORKIE PUPPY * Mellisa * (3/24/2007 9:56:52 PM): hi yes i was just reading your email * Mellisa * (3/24/2007 9:56:58 PM): where are you located at exactly? kelly briete (3/24/2007 9:57:23 PM): cameroon kelly briete (3/24/2007 9:57:36 PM): were are you also located pls * Mellisa * (3/24/2007 9:58:31 PM): where's that at? * Mellisa * (3/24/2007 9:58:35 PM): arizona? kelly briete (3/24/2007 9:59:13 PM): cameroon is 7 hours flight to your location * Mellisa * (3/24/2007 9:59:18 PM): i'm in california (now i am in az not cali but i didnt want to tell her the truth because i knew she was a scam) kelly briete (3/24/2007 9:59:28 PM): cameroon is a country on it own * Mellisa * (3/24/2007 9:59:33 PM): oh kelly briete (3/24/2007 10:00:17 PM): all i will required from you is your full address ans closest airport * Mellisa * (3/24/2007 10:00:58 PM): i've been warned not to buy yorkies out of the states due to frauds * Mellisa * (3/24/2007 10:01:16 PM): and i'm not in the position to be scammed my monies i'm sorry * Mellisa * (3/24/2007 10:01:26 PM): i do hope you find forever homes for your pups kelly briete (3/24/2007 10:01:48 PM): i can asured you that is going to be secuid kelly briete (3/24/2007 10:02:23 PM): if you dont believe in me i can go and register her with the shipping company and you booked for her flight Mellisa * (3/24/2007 10:04:47 PM): let me look into it i'll get back to you.. i'm sorry i just worry when i'm being scammed and when i'm no t * Mellisa * (3/24/2007 10:04:48 PM): ss kelly briete (3/24/2007 10:05:07 PM): ok kelly briete (3/24/2007 10:05:43 PM): but i promise you that u will received you new baby today * Mellisa * (3/24/2007 10:06:18 PM): they only way i would be willing to do that is if you sent the pup cod and i paid for her at the airport or send you pymt as soon as she's picked up * Mellisa * (3/24/2007 10:06:33 PM): w/o that i cant w/o looking into it further kelly briete (3/24/2007 10:07:08 PM): i dont know about that kelly briete (3/24/2007 10:07:23 PM): you will have to discouse that with the airport kelly briete (3/24/2007 10:07:40 PM): all i want is a home for my baby kelly briete (3/24/2007 10:07:51 PM): i dont need your money * Mellisa * (3/24/2007 10:07:58 PM): and i've been searching for my baby for over 5 yrs kelly briete (3/24/2007 10:08:00 PM): she is for free adoption * Mellisa * (3/24/2007 10:08:29 PM): and i understand that i really do but i'm a single stay at home mom my income is there and i can afford care for the pup but i cant afford to throw away money * Mellisa * (3/24/2007 10:08:37 PM): and thats what i'd be doing if i fell into a scam * Mellisa * (3/24/2007 10:08:54 PM): thats why i said if its not the money then you should be able to ship her to me and once i receive her i will send you the money kelly briete (3/24/2007 10:09:29 PM): i can understand you very well kelly briete (3/24/2007 10:09:55 PM): but i just pay for my bills here in Cameroon kelly briete (3/24/2007 10:10:18 PM): so the only money i have with me now is 40$ kelly briete (3/24/2007 10:10:45 PM): i will have love to ship her to you and then you send me the money * Mellisa * (3/24/2007 10:11:01 PM): i understand kelly briete (3/24/2007 10:11:42 PM): thanks kelly briete (3/24/2007 10:12:35 PM): i am a woman of respect * Mellisa * (3/24/2007 10:12:52 PM): and so am i kelly briete (3/24/2007 10:13:06 PM): i am here for a 4 months reseach kelly briete (3/24/2007 10:13:15 PM): are those your kids * Mellisa * (3/24/2007 10:13:22 PM): yes kelly briete (3/24/2007 10:15:45 PM): just say hi to them kelly briete (3/24/2007 10:15:57 PM): i love kids very much kelly briete (3/24/2007 10:19:27 PM): are u there kelly briete (3/25/2007 2:40:07 AM): HELLO kelly briete (3/25/2007 2:40:12 AM): are u there? kelly briete (3/25/2007 2:42:12 AM): can i trust * Mellisa * (3/25/2007 3:11:46 AM): yes i am trust worthy * Mellisa * (3/25/2007 3:12:01 AM): i'm not a liar i cannot lie its not the type of person i am kelly briete (3/25/2007 12:30:40 PM): okay kelly briete (3/25/2007 12:30:47 PM): i will trust u kelly briete (3/25/2007 12:32:51 PM): as soon as i have the money i will booked for her next available flight okay |
