Ok, e-mail coming from Cameroon, but the ‘owner’ of the ‘dog’ claims to be in Boston, and the dog is supposed to be in California. Their English is barely readable. They send us a supposed Swiss Air e-mail address to set up ‘shipping’ that doesn’t work. They send another, that is coming from Cameroon, written in very bad English, and asks for the money to be sent to Cameroon and the animal is being shipped from Cameroon. Sigh….

I wrote back:
You must have sent me the wrong address because I sent an e-mail, and it bounced back.
Scammer made up the excuse:
here is the address SWISS_AIRWAYS@AIRPOST.NET
SORRY for that ok just try now pls so soory.
I wrote to airport address (a free e-mail hosting service by the way. Why in the world a major airline like Swiss Air would be using a freemail service, we’ll never know) This is what they answered back…Note, in my e-mail, did not mention what type of dog, or the name of the person who they were holding it for.
Mail to fake Swiss Air:
Hi, I was told to contact you about a puppy you are holding for shipment.

Luckily I looked for Cameroon on line after finding bulldog puppies for free 10 weeks old on Craig's list in Orange County. I sent a note and they responded sounding a little to good to be true. Everything for only $100.00 This is horrible of people to do it is a disgrace. What is the world coming to.
ReplyDeletethe e-mail for my incident about craig's list was kmobit@yahoo.com
ReplyDeleteThank you all for posting your experiences you have no idea how stupid I feel for actually believing this bull. I got a pretty good liar actually. I wish puppies weren't so darn cute.
ReplyDeleteNot fair...
Thank you all!! NO PUPPIES FROM CAMEROON!
this happened to me i almost got scammed by a person who their e-mail was divilo4real@yahoo.com and by was is that this scammer (also from Cameroon)deleted their yahoo because well here is our conversation.
ReplyDeleteMe:hello i know this is late but i want to know if the puppies where still available?
Scammer:Hello,
Thanks for the mail and interest in my Yorkie puppies. well they are still available to good homes. all i wanted is to give them the best home they ever deserve.well i know it might sound strange for someone to offer a dog just like that but i want you to know that i am being serious. i know there must be an explanation. Well the reasons why i am giving these puppies out is because i am in "Limbe" which is located in Southern Cameroun , well i just came here 5 weeks ago and i came along with my little pups. well i
came here to work as an engineer at the MTN mobile phone network in Cameroun and i hardly have time to spend with this dogs and i feel bad to allow them all alone . so i hope you understand what i am trying to point out because if you were in my place, you would have done the same thing. well i will need to know where you are located? well below is some detailed Temperament of my puppies. they are good companion dogs. Courageous,extremely lively, proud and enterprising, they gives and demands affection. Bold and saucy, they moves swiftly to avoid being stepped on. they are strong-willed, intensely loyal and become very attached to their owners, even to the point of jealousy. they are undeniably suspicious of people except for their owner. When strangers are present, theu follows the owner's every move, keeping as close as possible. .they are intelligent, learn quickly, and respond well to proper, gentle (positive reinforcement) training. they can be noisy and may require patience to housebreak. Be sure to socialize your them as a pup to avoid excessive aggressiveness with other dogs as well as reserve with strangers. they are well-socialized with strangers and other dogs.well the male weighs 1.8lbs(12 weeks old) and the females weighs 1.9ibs and their parents weigh 4.8lbs to 4.2lbs respectively.Well i will need to know if there is any thing you will need to know about them and if there is please do feel free to ask ok. .I would like to ask you some few questions that..
1...Will you be keeping them or give the out?????????
2....have you been keeping pets?????????
3...Do you have children????????????
4....if yes do they love puppies???????
5...when will you be taking the puppies??????????
6 ...were are you located????????????
7....Do you need all the three puppies??
8....if no then how many and which sex do you need???????
Awaiting your kind response.
Me:Hello!
I feel in love with the puppies as soon as we saw thier pictures! They are so adorable and tiny I have sent you some pictures to show you that this is not our first time being around pets and we know how hard but fun it can be to take care and be around them. Let me explain the pictures I have posted.
Picture 00001: The family's seccond puppy named Tibus (tea-boos)
Picture 007: Tibus sleeping with our cousin
Picture 013: My little brother's pet bunny named Little Jones
Picture 026: My sister with my puppy Bubbah
Picture 049: This is a picture we took while taking care of our neighbors dog.
Where are all our animals now? We gave Tibus to my grandmother becuase she loved being with her.
Scammer:well the shipping fee will be 364.
Me:i only have 10 becaus i went and bought the things for the dogs
NEXT THING I KNOW SHE DELETS HER ACOUNT
i was so disapointed but i am still looking for puppies please e-mail me if you know any one who i giving away a teacup yorkie for free (not in Cameroon)thanks God Bless
I found them on dog search i was looking for a yorkie. they said they had two named haily and hope and that i had to pay shipping but the dogs were free.. they gave me the same email for swiss airlines and said they were shipping them to me. the cost was 400 and i had to western union the money to them.Guess we all need to watch out. so glad i found this website or i would have bought them, thank god for that.
