safeway pet delivery agency

Our family has been looking for a new puppy, we posted an ad on our local Kijiji site, that night we got an email from [email protected] who said that "she" had to find a home for her 2 shih tzu puppies as they were not allowed in their new apartment in Minnesota...like suckers we fell for it...kind of...this person was trying to get us to "adopt" these puppies, she didn't want to sell her "babies" all we needed to do was pay for the transport of them which was $360, we emailed back that we didn't want 2 puppies and couldn't afford them, but thanks anyhow...we received an e mail back saying that we could just get 1 for $190 transport fee...I asked for some recent pics of the puppy...and was told that they didn't have any recent ones (the puppies were supposedly 13 weeks old) but would send some the next day after we asked again for some pics...the next day we received pics that were professionally done...looking back they were obviously just pulled from the internet...we emailed her wondering what was involved in transporting the puppy...this person then sent us an email saying that all we had to do was send our name, address & phone# and the closest airport to us and when the info was received would go and look for a good delivery company but that we would send the payment of $190 to the delivery company directly and the money needed to be sent before any arrangements would take place. I then asked about any vaccinations the puppy had or needed so that I could make an appointment with our vet...that question was never answered...I also asked what company would be delivering the puppy...never got an answer to that either...then we were sent the payment info as follows:

AMOUNT...........$190
NAMES.............SERGE NFORKEMBA
COUNTRY..........USA
STATE..............MINNESOTA
CITY................ST PAUL
ZIP POSTAL CODE.55411

and to make the payment via Moneygram, and to email the sender's name and reference #...I asked if the address was through a reputable company so that the puppy wasn't in danger during transport...never got an answer to that....then I asked for the person's name address and phone# , since all communication was through e mail I wanted some security (I thought)
the name, address and phone# are as follows:
Misrain Estudillo
204 Summit Ave.
St Paul, MN
55411
+1-347-696-1866
I foolishly believed that if the info was given it was legitimate. I sent the money then decided to call this person instead of emailling the information...it was sent directly to voice mail. I thought nothing of it...and sent the email instead...got one back asking when we wanted the puppy delivered...I said the next day and was waiting to hear what time he would arrive...the next morning got an email saying that pet insurance was needed and we would have to pay $360 to get the puppy delivered...we then said that we would not pay that and that we wanted our money back...so far we have gotten emails saying that the person could pay $160 towards the insurance but we would still have to pay $200...we said we would not pay any more money until the puppy was in our home...we are still waiting...

post script to this:
the address that the insurance payment was to be sent to was:
NAME...JASON MCCOY
COUNTRY...CAMEROON
STATE...YAOUNDE
CITY...CENTRE
ZIP/AREA CODE...00237

Hello dhharsen and welcome to Scamwarners,

As you have found out this is a scam and the puppies do not exist. The request for the insurance payment is a complete scam and an attempt to get more money from you.

The telephone number +1-347-696-1866 resolves to New York.
The telephone number +13034989221 resolves to Colorado
The telephone number 237-97624170 is a mobile telephone in Cameroon, Africa

The best thing to do now is to stop all communication with these scammers.

Please post the email requesting the insurance payment and be sure to remove your personal information before posting.

If you have other questions about this scam please post them on the forum.

People from Africa Use every Body and try to get money any way they could. The fact is, they send job post and job openings on emails to a lot of people worldwide, and who ever falls for the easy job is going to be used as a pick up agent. These pick up agents are not the scammers, they are just convinced to help get the money for Africans. It takes a while for the pick up agents to even notice they are helping in a scam. It goes a long way. Maybe some research should be done before considering posts like this. I personally have helped picked up money before I ever knew I was helping in a scam. Be Careful with your business, and try to post the necessary. Most of these pick up agents don't know Whats going on. They are just convinced and trying to Help the poor.
Thank you
Regards

Welcome Henderson,

I'm sorry that you got mixed up on one of these scams.

Mike has posted a scam email that has undoubtedly been sent to dozens, if not hundreds, of potential victims. The simple reality is that if the scammer is handing a name out to victims and instructing them to send money to that name, then potential victims need to be able to find that information to prevent being scammed themselves.

THIS IS THE EMAIL THAT I RECEIVE OF THE AGENCY..
PLEASE TELL ME IF THIS IS SCAM OR NOT

Hello caneos and welcome to Scamwarners,
This is a scam, the puppies do not exist, the shipping company does not exist. It is always a scam when a shipping company asks for payment via Western Union.

Stop all contact with this criminal and do not send any money to them.

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

I was scammed and was a min close before I canceled transaction. DONT PAY THRU WESTERN UNION OR MONEY GRAM. This person from Florida told me the puppy was already on flight right after I sent money. Thankfully, it was at night so they were not able to get money right away since western union pens at 8am in the morning. I looked up his number online and there was actually numerous other sites with his number selling puppies and other pets. His number is 973-657-2363. His email was [email protected]. I looked him up online through various social net works, but not found this person in Florida like he said where he is. He told me to send western union or money gram and he doesn't want transactions through bank or America or any other banks. I had to send money thru western union, which he told me to send it to his wife, Christina Marie Schamp in Daytona beach, Florida. By the way, I looked up this person online as well, found her at different location in Florida in relationship that doesn't sho-does not say married. They told me they're using this flight agency unitedpetstransport.co.ns which of course I looked up and it was a delivery company that only accept western union and money gram and no otherwise. They have phone number to contact, which only one person keep answers with broken English kept threatening me that if I don't pay right now puppy will not take flight. Btw, the owner told me that puppy already took flight and is in Texas while this delivery agency sent me an email that flight is from Michigan to California. Keep this number so that there's no other victims!! 973-657-2363. His email was [email protected].

^^^Thank you for the update. Please get your pet locally. Meet the owner, view the pet in person and pay in person.

Can you please post the emails sent to you, remove your personal information from them.

want to know if this is a scam as well

^^^^Yes, this one is a scam as well. The scammer is located in Africa.

Please post all the email addresses used.

Please follow the instructions of the post above yours.

People do not give away or sell expensive pets at a ridiculous low price. Any mention of Western Union, Moneygram, Pre-paid reload card or Bank Transfer is surely a scam.
