Hello MEannetoni18,
Thanks for posting the email from this scam. Everything he said in the email is a lie in an attempt to steal money from you. The best thing to do now is to just ignore him by not responding to any possible future emails.

If you have any additional questions about this scam please ask.

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

Someone messaged me on FB asking if I'm the seller of the car she also sent me an image of my Driver's License which is weird since I never posted my license online.

The seller of this car - http://www.sheryna.ph/2014-Toyota-Fortu ... ity-479871 is also a scammer.

Here's the email sent:

I travel for health care, and I'm short on funding and this is the reason why the car was for sale. Before my trip, I gave the car to a carrier in the country who will deliver it to you.

I have been almost victimized by the same modus just today. The email was similar, almost word for word. What do we do with these people?

Currently I am abroad I am not in the Philippines if not i will meet you for arrangement of the car.I'm here in Morocco where i have to do 2 years for work in medecine before come back to philippines.but the car is currently with our caretaker in philippines in Bicol Naga city with whom we have already arranged everything before leaving.So if you are interested my caretaker will deliver you at your home in any city you are in philippines without taking any shipping cost because I have already paid for everything before leaving.

So the car is currently with the caretaker with all its documents already wrapped, which are updated such as the Deed of Absolute sale ,Official Receipt and Certicate Receipt of the car,service card and warranty of the car;and all the documents pertaining for the car............... on your worry ,let me tell you not to worry because this is how the transaction will take place: once my carrier at your home you will pass to test driving of the car and engine,checks all its papers so it is after all these steps you will now take a decision that is to say if the car suits you or not.In case the car will suit you pass to the signatures of the papers that me the seller had already signed before left. but if after all these steps it does not suit you(what i don't think) you say to the caretaker and he returns without taking anything as shipping coste. so it's not that you will automatically take the car once it's at your home but be sure and very sure that you will like my car regarding the payment I have already let the set with my mechanic he will explain how you are going to proceed to payment.
So if all are ok for you,just leave me your full detail first following this form that my caretaker have left me so that i can send it to him.and then he will contact you regarding the
appropriate date of delivery.

A diesel CRV with a sunroof. How did I not catch that?
Anyway, the mobile phone on the account is 09807603471. Account name is Aurelio. The email sender though is Colette Fizanne. Email address: [email protected]
A "doctor" in morocco, with an address in Miami, FL. Address given is Bicol, Naga, Philippines, the account is in Bulacan, Bulacan. Too many obvious discrepancies.

Hope this helps other people too.
