i had one of those scams come across my world too, i got the whole, i don't have any pups right now but i know this missionary that wants to give his pups to a new home because the weather there isn't stable for them...the missionary had a really strange name too. i got their emails and politely declined that i wanted to have a pup that was not shipped to me and they wanted like 900 for shipping costs, more than i paid for my current dog.

geez these weirdos are really something aren't they?

You should play with them a bit. Maybe tell them you want their address and you will come get the dog. Say you are a FBI agent who gets free air fare anywhere in the world.

While I was searching for my first baby - i got the same thing from an online classified ad. almost word for word. they get you to wire money to them then all the sudden they have problems at the "airport" and need you to send them more to fix it, and so on and so on. needless to say that when you realize your being scammed theyve already gotten the money and theres no way to get it back because of the laws where they live. heres a website that is up for people to learn more about cameroon pet scammers.
Identify and Avoiding the Cameroon Pet Scammers there are places that you can add there email address to so as to help other people not to get scammed by the same person! this is a business for them. they believe the "white man" in america owes them something therefore its okay to scam us out of our money! a**holes!!

You could say you work as a flight attendant for any airlines and have free travel anywhere in the USA. Tell them your not comfortable without meeting the puppy in person and you could be there tomorrow with the money. What is their address????
