Amanda Johnson bulldog scam

Nice to see the same exact format has now been circulating for over 2 years... The only thing that changes is the scammer's chosen name (and sometimes mother-in-law changes to grandmother).

Google the sentence regarding conformation and you will find hundreds of scam hits. There is no mother-in-law, there are no puppies. In fact, there is nothing but a greedy scammer sitting in an internet cafe waiting for a chance to steal your money.

Hi,

I am looking to place a litter of 5 adorable bulldog puppies and also the parents, they belong to my late mother in law who I was really close to and she passed away unexpectedly, these puppies are so cute with correct conformation and excellent dispositions with shots and worming up to date. They do the funniest things. You just can't get enough of their playful antics. And they are growing so fast, contact me immediately if you are interested in them.

Have a nice day,

Amanda.

New here,

I am searching for information for a real live Amanda Johnson that ran scams involving Bulldog Puppies. Is there anyway to tell where this scam was sent from?

Thank you,
Shannon

Welcome to Scamwarners Shannon. There isn't enough information in the above email headers to locate the scammer, but he's almost certainly in Cameroon, West Africa. Scammers in that country specialise in pet scams.
And it won't be the scammer's real name. There's no reason to use their own, especially when they want to pass themselves off as American, British, etc.
There's no chance of finding out any genuine information about a particular scammer.
