Scammers that sign up on this site are usually detected rather quickly by staff members and then banned to keep them for posting or sending private messages to victims.

Some scammers do find us using a search engine but most of the time they are notified by another victim that sends a link to the post that outed him as a scammer. The scammer may get a new email address and again he may just continue on hoping the next victim does not find the post.
The script usually stays the same so posting the emails will also hurt his scam by showing new victims how the scam works.

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

Thanks all for your advice. I am really bless to find this website. You guys are amazing. Initially I'm hesitant to put email address here as not sure if there are informants around.

I recalled in his "company" site http://www.cctvsecurityengrservices.us his business partner is named Sunny.

The bank account is suspicious. I suggested to the "finance company" to use UK or US account for the transfer as he is seeking his partner and dad for help but they insisted on SG due to audit. The account details as requested:
Bank name: OCBC Bank
Account name: Kee Agnes Siew Khim
Account nos.: 5010092863

Now im concern what should i do with my identity with the bogus company...

Thanks for posting . Myself and other members will investigate this additional information . In the meantime you need to report this crime to the authority's in your country and possibly subscribe to an identity theft protection service as well as set up Google alerts on the details you gave them .

And remember you have the team here behind you .
