I called the Seaside, OR police dept. They confirmed that it was a scam and that they have had a few calls about it.
Some Information about it.. He uses paypal. He goes by Paul Chewni. His facebook page is fake. He is really located in Cameron, Africa. He is willing to call and talk over the phone. The number he is calling from is 503-470-6313. This is the only information, I could get.
Wish me luck with getting money back.

Contact Paypal and give them the information so that they can terminate the scammers account.

The pet scammer wants a Paypal payment made here.

Log in your paypal account and click on the make payment tab (or send money) and enter the following email ([email protected]) for recipient email. Then enter the amount ($600) to send and complete the payment.
Please notify me after you have sent the payment.

This scammer will also use google voice to text you. As you can see he is in Cameroon with no pets to sell. He wants to steal your money.
