Monkey Scams

How pathetic, using claims of a 'sick son'. Also, they listed this same add in multiple locations on the same classifieds. I sometimes wonder if the scammers are just that dumb, or if they assume that the people looking at the classifieds are that dumb.

subject Re: Capuchin monkeys



Hi there,
thanks for the mail. Mark and Rema are the two available babies out of four. They are hand raised and home trained with all papers,has been fully checked, AKC tested and have a good relationship with other pets and well trained too they are close ringed..closed bonded and vet checked with up to date vet records. They are ready to go for adoption with a free crate and toys.I am looking for a good home and will meet up any requirements if need to be shipped.They are micro chipped, will come with a pedigree and 14months old. They are AKC registered. They will be going out for $300 each and a free crate and other accessories and you will be required to pay a shipping fee if needs to be shipped . I am giving them for adoption because i am here for an assignment and my job requires a lot of time so i immediately realized that they are going to be lonely and as you know they are very delicate creatures and need a lot of care and devotion and that is why i have decided to give them out to a loving and caring home where they will be loved and will be given all the time they need so if you are interested.get back lets see how they get home. Where are you located and How soon do you want the babies? If needs to be shipped, then get back to me with your full names, address and the address of the closest airport to your location so that i should contact the shipping agency right away for flight reservation as i will be shipping them from the Republic of Cameroon . get back asap. awaiting your reply

They are called Lilian and Alan They are very playful, loves to be held like babies and gets along well with the other puppies. they loves attention. they loves to curl up in my arms and just fall asleep.

Source of Scammers Puppy Pics

Don't be fooled by cute, even seasonal picturs, of puppies or other pets. The scammers steal them off the internet, either form personal sites, or from 'brokers' such as this (and I wouldn't recommend getting a puppy from these guys either. Contact a breeder personally, visit their faculities, and never buy or adopt a puppy without visiting it in person, first.)

Glad to see that many breeders are beginning to watermark their images, so they can't be used by scammers.
