Not only is it illegal to import monkey's...

But, capuchian monkey's are an endangered species. So it's illegal to export 'em too. Not that the scammers care about such things. Remember folks, if you do foolishly try to import a monkey (not that the scammers have any) the animal will be seized by customs and destroyed. The person importing it will also be prosecuted to the full extent of the law.

Importing and exporting animals is not as quick and easy as the scammers would like you to believe. Remember, we're talking about dealing with various goverment agencies here folks.

Our reader responded:

You do realize it's illegal to export monkey's from Cameroon into the US, Canada, or any of the European Union countries, right?

Naomi Jose stacydeva@yahoo.ca wrote:

it is legal

Our reader answered:

No, it's not. Check US, Canadian and European Union law for yourself. It is also illegal to import them into Australia and most Asian countries.

There was silence for about a week, then, the scammer answered back with...

sorry it is legal i shipped to Canada last week okay and Minnesota two weeks 4 day

Our reader responded with...

No, it's not legal. I even called the various goverment departments involved. any primates imported into the US or Canada are seized at the border and destroyed. You honestly don't have a clue as to what you are talking about do you? What, are you some type of scammer or something? Bet you don't even actually have any monkey's.


Will let you know if we hear anything further. Oh, and don't forget folks, report the scammers to their e-mail hosting service for fraud!!

    Hi there! We are a family that fell in love with the pictures of the Capuchin Monkey that a person had on the buy and sell, she was more than willing to send us the monkey waiving the adopition fee as long as we sent the shipping fees to her in cameroon, how ever feeling uncomfortable with that I did some research first and discovered that we could not import the monkey into canada we are now waiting to hear a reply I will keep you updated on our ventures with these people

    Ya know, there is a woman lying in a coma, who had her face ripped off by a chimp recently (check cnn for the story) This woman literally has no face now. All because of a 'pet' chimp. Yet, people are still foolish enough to think it would be a fun idea to have a monkey for a pet.

    Could you send me pictures of the monkey...and how would we arrange payment, I would perfer paypal account, to safegaurd myself as I do work in the financial industry and know all the scams that do happen.
    How old is the male that you have left? Where are you shipping from? Do you usually have monkey's or is this the only time? I am asking so I can discuss with my husband what route we would like to go. Are you or the monkeys licenced or registered through USDA?
    Are you saying that yu would ship to CA? I have read that it's not legal in Ca, do you know ?

    Thank You,

    Could you also send me some pictures? What are the ages of the monkeys that you have and they are squirrel, or what breed???

    below are pictures of both monkeys,if you want just one of the
    monkeys,it will cost you a total of $400 but of you want to take both
    monkeys,it will cost you a total of $500,this is because they will be
    shipped in the same crate at the price of one.The monkeys are illigal
    everywhere in the united states unless you own a USDA permit which is
    renewable every 2 years.I already acquired a USDA permit for the
    monkeys you don;t need to both about what,once they get to CA,they
    will need to go through a quarantine period of about 12 hours for
    routine medical checkup after which they will be released.They monkeys
    will come along with all their clothes,diapers,toys,blankets,hand book
    on everything you will need to know about this monkeys as far as their
    health,training and nutrition is concerned,all their health,vet and
    registration papers,they will also be coming along with one sleeping
    cage each,it is two iron bar cages which i use to cage the monkeys at
    night(see picture attached),i am giving out the cages for free but if
    you are interested,you will be paying for the shipping of the cages,As
    for which of the monkeys to take,i am a litle confused on that
    point,asking me to choose will be like asking me to choose which of my
    two children i love most...........LOL,the two monkeys are of
    different personalities but are all special in their own way,both are
    adorable and which ever you choose,you will never regrade your
    decision i can guarantee you that,the female is a bit timid than the
    male,that is the only remarkable difference between them.I will be
    waiting to hear from you ASAP so we can proceed with further
    arangement.


    What a SCAM! They are still emailing me I will keep you posted!
