My goodness!!

Everything on your post is EXACTLY how i went through. Everything was almost the same. Just that the names of the puppies was different and that the breed was bulldogs. I feel like were having the same scam artist.
here is the email letter sent from them..

Hello,
thanks for the interested you have shown regarding our English bulldog puppies which we are giving out for free adoption to any loving and caring home.they are two(2) males and three(3) females Puppies and the Male puppies are called BREEZLEY and BRUNO while the Female puppies are called DOLLY, LINDA and PRINCESS. these puppies are 13 weeks old and they are vet checked, house & potty trained, very playful with kids and are also associative with other home pets. these puppies have been raised in our home and given 100% attention so they will be a very good companion to you and your family! the puppies will be going to their new home with all their health papers, playing toys, blankets, feeding menu, a traveling crate, eating bowl and a written health guarantee .They are just cute healthy English bulldog puppies as shown on their pictures on our website.any of our puppies will be a good addition to your family, all we are looking for is just a loving new home which is willing to love and care for these puppies.
The reason why we are giving these loving puppies for free adoption is because We just relocated From Green Bay,Wisconsin(WI) to Santa Beach,Cameroon and My wife and I had the intention of breeding these puppies since we are both pet lovers but our landlord of our New House is allergic to Pets, so he has given us one week 2 days to get rid of these puppies or else we shall not be allowed to stay in his house so we are left with no other choice than giving these puppies out . Moreover, My wife & I love these babies soo much that's why we can't sell them out to any type of home because we are not out for money but rather we prefer to give these puppies out for free adoption to any loving home that will promise to welcome and treated these puppies as a part of their family not only that but also a home were these puppies will be shown the love and care which they deserve.
so if you can promise our puppies a lovely home, we shall not stop at giving these puppies out to your home but we shall also ensure that they get to your home safely and in a good condition.
so if you don't mine we shall like to ask you some question because we like to know the type of home where our puppies are going to before we make any decisions.

where are you located?
Have you ever had a pet before?
What experience do you have with Pets?
Are you married? and Do you have kids?
Is there a Vet in your area?
How much time do you spend at home?
what's your cell phone #?
How many puppies do you want to Adopt? And Which of them??
I'm sorry i asked soo many questions but we need to know the type of home where are puppies are going to.

You can click on the Link below to open to our website where you will see all the pictures of our available puppies.

Welcome to ScamWarners jaly05 and thank you for posting this information for others to find. Did the scam come from the same email address? If not, please post up the email address this scammer used.

It could be the same scammer, it could be another one using the same scripted message. We are glad to make it more difficult for scammers to steal money in this way. I hope you did not send money to this scammer. If you are still in contact with this criminal, cease all contact with him and ignore further attempts to contact you.

Hello DrewJVal and welcome to Scamwarners. The emails you received probably origianted in Cameroon, Africa which is a well known location pet scam operations.

Asking for a payment to be sent via Western Union to Cameroon is a guarantee this is a scam. The best thing to do now is to stop all communication with this thief.

It is ALWAYS a scam
If the pet seller or shipper asks for money to be sent via Western Union, Money Gram, any brand of gift card. Walmart To Walmart , Zelle , PayPal friends and family option, or mentions Cameroon
