Scams selling or giving away non-existent animals, often Puppy Scams.
by sbonner97 Mon Dec 14, 2015 1:20 pm
I just had this same exact thing happen to me, only I sent $600 with cash, and I used my debit card at Walmart to pay $1450 for the crate rental. I didn't truly realize it was a scam until they he man called me back telling me that the currier was in TN and that they had quarantined my dog because it's pet life insurance had lapsed a week and 14 hours prior and they couldn't ship him to me without the insurance, $3000 however it was refundable as well. I called bull shit on the guy on the line and he went off on me and told me I was sinful for even thinking he'd scam me, and that if I didn't pay the insurance fee that my dog was going to continue to stay quarantined and he'd die and I'd be 100% responsible for his death.

5th EMAIL

Hello
Thanks for getting back to me as concerning the insurance policy of
Sam .I was inform by the delivery agency about the insurance
policy and i was clearly explained why the money is been paid for :for
the safety of Sam life during the transit to your home address
and the Manager also told me that the Insurance is re-fundable upon
delivery of Sam .So since then i have been trying to see how i
can raised money as part of the insurance fee and i understand how
things are difficult this days but i am trying all my possible best to
make sure that you have Sam at your home.I wish to apologies for
the late response to your mail.
Please i am doing all these because of the love and care you have
shown for Sam which has always been my portion for Sam to
have a good and caring home and for the friendship both of us has been
,so the puppy can not tamper our relationship with you.
So i just wish to inform you that i am just from the agency to pay
part of the insurance fee which is $1000 so what is remaining now is
$2000 which you have to pay to complete the insurance policy papers for
the delivery to commence today.
Please remember since the money will be re-funded back to you,
promise me you are going to sent mine back to me the part i have paid
for the insurance fee.
Since i am a christian and a God fearing person i belief every
thing is possible with Christ Jesus who created us.

Thanks

Waiting to hear from you soonest .
May the Almighty God Continue to bless you in Jesus name
Amen

INSURANCE GUARANTEE What does Pet Insurance cover?
We offer three levels of cover so there's bound to be one to suit your pet and your pocket.
Accidental injury 
This is designed to help with one-off, unexpected costs if your pet is involved in an accident. Whether its a bad landing from a tree or a scrape with a passing motor, this low-cost cover will come to the rescue.
Well pay up to 3000 towards vets fees for each injury caused by an accident, for up to 12 months. And there's no limit on the number of injuries you can claim for.
Accident and illness 
This has limits on both the length of time and the amount well pay out for a claim, to help keep premiums affordable.
It covers accidents that might happen to your pet, as well as the costs of them being ill. Well pay up to 4,000 for each condition for up to 12 months. There's no limit on the number of conditions you can claim for.
Accident and illness extra 
If you're the sort of person who wants maximum peace of mind at a competitive price, this is the one for you. It offers the most comprehensive cover, paying all vets fees for accidents and illness up to 6,000 for each condition no matter how long the treatment goes on for and of course there's no limit on the number of conditions you can claim for.
Whatever cover you take out, it always includes cover for accidental death, theft and straying, kennel or cattery costs if you go into hospital, and the expense of canceling or cutting short your holiday because your pet has an accident. It also includes liability cover for dogs,kittens,birds etc so if your pooch knocks down a neighbors fence or takes a nip out of the seat of their pants, you're covered..
You are insured when you pet goes missing?
Yes. If your pet goes missing or is stolen, you can claim for up to 8900. This includes reward money of up to 100 and advertising costs.
If you need to make a claim?
Get in touch and let us know. We'll send you out a claim form. Remember to keep all your receipts and attach them to your completed form. (It's best to keep copies for your own records too). Pop these in the post to us, and we'll pay you back for each valid claim.
If you want to make sure your pet is covered before starting any treatment,
If you already have Virgin Pet Insurance and need to make a claim, please call us. 
Monday to Friday, 9am - 5pm. Please have your policy number ready (it'll be clearly marked on the top of your policy schedule). The excess of you pet insurance?
The excess is the part of a claim you pay.
V.P.I Pet Insurance has a standard excess of 5800 for DOGS and 4800 for CATS for each injury or condition. And if you have a kitten,dog or bird there's an excess of 850 on liability claims.
You can choose to increase your excess to get a lower premium if you like. This voluntary excess is paid for each injury or condition as well as the above standard excess.

• Due to a situation of the TENNESSEE, USA , the Insurance Authorities will like to bring the following to your knowledge which will be a guarantee that you are about to receive your MALE FRENCH BULLDOG PUPPY which is not dead or sick puppy .

• The Pets Control Department of TENNESSEE, USA , in association with Easy Pets Re-locators, has just found out that the Life Insurance Certificate of your puppy expired about 1 week 14 hours ago ... We will like to bring the following to your attention.

 1). Following the International Aviation's Commission' Rules and Regulations on Pets Transportation and section 12 sub paragraph 2, "... the life of all animals/Pet being transported from One State to another through the TENNESSEE, USA, from One must be fully Insured by an Insurance Cooperation at the country of Origin against any eventuality and Ideal Pet Insurance Department under Easy Pets Re-locators will do that for you.

• 2)Following a compromise between the UNITED STATES Aviation's Complaint Commission and the UNITED STATES Financial Commission, it was concluded that "..the life of all pets being transported through the UNITED STATES to another country or State will be Insured and this Insurance fee should vary from one pet to another depending on Financial Value of the Pet.

3) We also wish to let you know, according to the UNITED STATES Price Determination Commission, the price of one FRENCH BULLDOG which is about $9500 . From the above, the Life Insurance fee you are supposed to pay for the puppy is $3000 which shall be totally refunded to you upon arrival of your puppy and your puppy can travel through his life time through the U.S.A ,CANADA, UNITED KINGDOM ETC without any problems..

• 4)This is the insurance cover with which the refundable insurance fee has also been made for:
 
#1 - Pets Can Get Sick Any Time.
• #2 - Pets Can Cause Unwanted Noise And Disturbance.
#3 - Pets Can Destroy Personal As Well As Our Company Property.

Welcome to Scamwarners sbonner97,
I am sorry to hear that you lost money to these criminals. You may be contacted again claiming that you will be taken to court for pet abandonment which will be an attempt to scare you into sending more money to these criminals.
The best thing to do now is to stop all communications by blocking or ignoring all emails and telephone calls. They will eventually go away and look for another victim.

If you have any telephone numbers that we used in this scam please post them here on the forum.

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
