Scams selling or giving away non-existent animals, often Puppy Scams.
#292134 by Daniel24 Mon Apr 18, 2016 11:19 am
Hello, i've read a lot now about Cameroon and Western Union scams.
So what happened to me? I saw a French bulldog on the Swedish site "www.Blocket.se" wrote to the person who posted it and we've been writing back and forth on email. I said that it would cost too much for me at the moment to buy the dog which was listed at 6000SEK.

Got a reply later where she stated that she had to moved to London because her employer demanded her to, and her apartment wouldn't accept her having a dog. She then said she would pay to have the dog transported to Sweden and that she would pay for all the costs.

So I agreed to it, then she asked me for my phone number and adress. So I gave my contact information to her.

Then she asked me for my bank account info, in order to send me money, because she couldn't withdraw money from her Swedish bank account in London.

I gave her my info and she sent me 5500SEK in order for me to pay the transport with her money.

I was told to send the money via Western Union to the following adress:

Recievers First name ................................... CHE LOUIS
Recievers Surname ................................ NGWA
Country................................................. .......... Kamerun
Amount................................................. ........ 4800 kr

I sent the money I had recieved from her, and she wanted a copy of the reciept.

I asked her if the payment went through alright.

She later then sent me a message telling me everything worked out.

The next day she wrote that i had to go to the same place and send 500SEK to the same person, because the dog had to be given a vaccination before he got transported.

Since the money would take up to 6 hours to get delivered, she said the transportation will be delayed a couple of days, and that she had to pay extra because of the delay and that she would contact me with how much she needed to pay.

Then today she told me that the dog had to be transported in a special cage which was very expensive, that she had to pay a deposit for 15 000SEK, which would be refunded to her once i recieved the dog.

She then had sent me the 15 000SEK and told me to send 16500SEK to the same person in Cameroon via Western Union.

I asked her why he needed a special cage, and she told me that there was a temperature difference between Sweden and London and that the cage regulated the temperature to adapt with the Swedish climate. (hard to explain what she ment, but sounded like total bullshit)

The dog would be travelling through British Airways with Euro express according to her.

Sorry for my bad English but i don't know what to do, do i send her the money back? Or do I send it to the adress she had told me to? Please help!

Contact your bank and tell them that you are a victim of a scam.

Show them the emails.

Do not send money to anyone.

You have been receiving stolen money into your bank account and forwarding it to the scammer.

Please contacta moferatorstor if you have a question or information about this post.



Please do not tell the scammer he is posted here.

Please post the email. Others may be searching for text in the email. Also if there's any fake breeder or shipper website, which may be mentioned in the email, post the URL.

Hello Daniel24,
We do not need the whole conversation. The opening email where describes the pets and the email asking for money to be sent are the ones of the most value for warning other victims.

Posts in Swedish and a translated copy would be helpful.

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

Hej! ledsen för det sena svaret. Det är på grund av min nuvarande
familjesituation att jag inte kunde svara tidigare. Den fransk bulldog
hane är fortfarande tillgänglig. Hans namn är Jack. Han är 11
månader gammal nu och han är mycket frisk och aktiv. Han lever
lyckligt med barn, katter och andra djur. Han har mycket lugna
temperament. Han har vaccinerats och han kommer med alla sina papper.
Jack är en sorts familjehund som behöver ett hem som kommer att
överväga honom som en familjemedlem och med tanke på all den kärlek
han förtjänar. Det är med tungt hjärta som jag måste hitta ett nytt
hem för Jack på grund av att vår nuvarande familjesituation som inte
tillåter oss att hålla Jack. Jag hoppas att ni kan ge Jack en underbar
nytt liv. Hoppas att läsa från dig snart. hälsningar

kontrollerat honom och bekräftat att de kan leverera Jack till

ser sin e-post i inkorgen, kolla din skräp brevlåda också. Det har

pengar från vårt konto i Sverige. Jag har försökt, men alla bankomater
avvisar bankkort. Om jag har att överföra pengar online till sitt
