Adorable english bulldog puppy for adoption.

BEWARE, THIS IS A SCAM! THERE IS NO PUPPY!

 

These people from Cameroon, Nigeria, Ghana, Kenya, AFRICA only want your money -- there is no puppy. This so-called "Cameroon Pet Scam" offers "free adoption" or way below value English Bulldog puppies, Yorkies, Maltese and other puppies, as well as parrots, monkeys and other pets.

 

The story can vary as to why the animal is free or discounted -- the current owner is a missionary who needs to find the puppy a new home due to the terrible weather in its current location; the animal was rescued from a natural disaster and needs a good home; owner’s busy work schedule, etc. etc.

 

The scammer will then ask interested buyers to pay for the dog's shipment, down payment, inoculations and any number of other miscellaneous fees. The victims wire money for the dogs but generally only get excuses for the delay. Instead, they're repeatedly asked for more money to cover additional "fees" invented by the scammer.

 

Greedy scammers will concoct even more fees that the victim needs to pay after the dog has been supposedly shipped.

 

You can identify these individuals because they will ask you to pay by money order or wire transfer.  Unfortunately, once you wire the money, it’s gone and you can’t get it back.

 

Another indication of a scammer is that  99% of them will have free email accounts – yahoo, gmail or hotmail.

 

Notice the scammers never include a phone number in their ads – that’s because they are located in Africa.  Always ask for a phone number and confirm the location of the puppy. If the person offering the puppy refuses to give you a phone number WALK AWAY.

 

This scam is all over the internet, on every classified ads site and on puppy selling sites such as pupcity.com and puppyfind.com
