Hi everyone.
The Worldwide shipping company is still trying to get people to fall for their scams by using the penny saver. I was told I was being shipped a Rotweiler puppy and I would pay the courier when he dropped off the puppy. Then I was informed that I would need to ship the money via WESTERN UNION to a "friend" in CAMAROON. they told me to say it was a friend so the rates would be lower. the email is: [email protected]. Thank goodness I found this site or I would have been screwed over. :/

My girlfriend and I were pretty close to falling for this scam. Things started to get fishy once they started talking about the shady method of paying the transportation company, which is when we started googling and found this thread, saved us $200!

This is the first one I've seen that is in Canada, which threw us off, at first. In hindsight, it's painfully obvious that it was a scam, but to begin with I think we were just blinded by adorable kittens.

The scammer claimed to be Kallister Jones, a retired Vet from Dawson City, Yukon going in for surgery and unable to take care of her kittens any longer (the fact that Dawson City is a town of 1500 and probably doesn't even have a hospital, let alone a brain surgery facility, should have been a clue). The text of the first email is below. The emails came from [email protected], Subject of "my cute exotic kittens" and included lots of pictures.

Hello jfriesen and welcome to scamwarners.

I happy to see that you found out about the scam before losing any money to this criminal. You are correct that the scammer is not in Dawson City, in fact he is in Cameroon Africa.

The emails from [email protected] originate from IP: 195.24.210.66 = Cameroon Africa.

It is ALWAYS a scam

Welcome to scamwarners flower2012,
I am sorry to hear that you lost money to these criminals. Yes, it is a scam and there are no live animals involved.
The threat to "sue' is an empty threat to get you to send more money. They will give you a deadline to pay and if you don't pay they will send you another deadline all in an attempt to intimidate you so that you will send more money.
Do Not send any additional funds to thes criminals.
They criminal will not file charges against you because then they would have to show up in court and prove they actually have the animals.

Stop all communication and they will eventually go away and look for another victim that will pay.

Please post the email with the threat along with any email addresses used in this scam. This information will help others avoid this scam.

That is total and complete nonsense. You can not be charged with abondoment of and animal when you have never had possession of the animal. These criminals are probably located in Africa and will not be filing any charges against you.

If they acutally had the dog, which they don't, then it is their responsibilty to provide for the welfare of the dog because it is their possession.

Do NOT send any money and just ignore the emails and telephone calls.

I have come across few of these in my efforts to find a Dalmatian, fortunately I am a cynic and utilize Google for everything. After almost getting scammed by the first, I have come to the conclusion that the best way to avoid is to at least pretend like you want to meet them to purchase your pet.

Here is the first, hopefully I have the rest too.

Hello,

Thanks for getting to me concerning my lovely puppies they are still available both male and female named Roxy, King, Clody and Lily. they are 11 - 12 weeks old at the moment, their names are on their photo Roxy and King are the male while Clody and Lily are the female they are well trained and have a good temperaments and personality, pure breed and will definitely be of good looking to you and your family. They love playing with kids and other home pets. Your puppy will be coming with the following documents: Certificate of health, Health guarantee, Pedigree, Travel crate, A couple weeks’ food, transfer of ownership certificate and a care Manual book. However, before letting you have the puppy, i will like to know something’s about you, so i would like to ask you some questions. My questions are:

1) Have you ever had a puppy before?
2) Why do you need these puppies?
3) Do you want them for breeding?
4) Where are you located?
5) Can you promise you can take very good care of them?
6) How many will you need and what sex (es) male or female? Let us know the name of the one you will need.
7) What kind of accommodation can you provide to this puppy?

Each puppy goes for ($300). i am also located in
3713 Wallingford, Springdale MD 20774 and my number is, 1 (510) 463-4732. With these puppies i am just looking for a good home for them. I have place the ad in so many states to look for any good family that can adopt any of them. if you really love any of them and you are not able to come for the pick up by yourself i can still let you have the puppy and i can arrange for the puppy to be ship over to your and it will cost you extra ($100) and that will make a total of ($400) for you to purchase and transport the puppy over to your home please do let me know the one you will be needing so that i can give you more information and pictures.
Thanks and waiting
Mr.David William

Here is another;


You're lucky to have mailed at this time because the puppy has just been placed on adoption by one of my customers, who went on a Missionary transfer with the West African Missionaries, West Africa. He is giving the pup up for adoption for $350 because he cant take good care of the pup due to his busy and tight schedule at church and at his missionary work. All he wants is someone that's homely and with a good christian home to adopt this young and lovely human best friend." he will give the Puppy to you if you promise to take good care of the puppy. He needs a christian and caring home for his puppy because he really wants the puppy to go to a good home. If you are willing to take the puppy contact Rev at " [email protected] "
Thanks

Lizzy Cardo

Scam pet seller

They used a transaction using the cover of a real company: Cathay Pacific

They however stated their HQ to be in Cameroon. they then say that they are various different companies sending emails from different addresses but they have the same font and frequent informational and grammatical mistakes. they also use cut and paste pictures of images that may relate to where they say the message is coming from.

They also phrase thing so it sounds like you are helping Lizzy Cardo and her 'poor pet' making the scam even more effective.
