I had posted on PetClassifieds.us looking for a boxer pup for my granddaughter for xmas now . And on 12-15-2011 I get this reply about my ad saying that he was wonder if I had found a boxer pup yet . And then he said that he had one that he would love to give to me . So we had email each other serval times over this . and he had sent me a picture of this beautiful pup which it was what I was looking for now. And I had stated in my post where I lived at also . But anyhow I get this email from CITY LINKS PETS TRANSPORT CARGO DEPARTMENT with a customer services number 011237-98641840 and at first I thought to myself what kind of number is that . And then they said that they had my boxer pup ready to be shipped to my granddaughter's house and that all I needed to do is send them 120.00 by MONEY GRAM OR WESTERN UNION SERVICE through WALMART and then the payment info was as follow Names: Awa roger penn Country: Cameroon State: Littoral City Douala Address: Moliko Bastos Street 8 Airport Road Zip: 00237 Then it had you will need a test question, make it to be WHEN an TODAY. Well I had start doing my own checking out things cause it didnt seem real to me that I was getting this beautiful boxer pup register and everything for free but all I had to do is pay for the shipping now of 120.00. So when i went back to the person who sent me email about the pup and ask him some question , I started getting different answer then . I even told him to send it c.o.d. if this is all true and honest and then he sent me a email back saying you can trust me please trust me . Well then come to find out he said he lived in North Dakota and then he said he lived in New york and that his name is Tomy Washinghton and that was his wife that lived in North Dakota and her name is Mrs Tomy Bright okay now you got two people here that are married and has two different last names and live in two different places and then he said he is working in New York and been there for 2 years and hasnt been home. And then this Tomy Washington had gave me a phone number but said he had to have a credit card to use his phone and he didnt have one at the time and the number he gave me was 848-328-3301 so I called it and it says this is a wireless. And then he said he had it posted on My-pet.com.my about his pups now and I went to that to and nothing there. And City Link Pet Carriers also sent me a email back after I confront them on that I didnt think this was all true that I thought it was a scam and they reply back saying DEAR CLIENT, TOMY WASHINGTON IS THE HUSBAND OF MRS TOMY BRIGHT AS WE GOT IT HERE OK,SO MRS BRIGHT LIVE IN NORTH DAKOTA AND MR WASHINGTON IN NEW YORK SO THEY BOTH USE ONE EMAIL TO CONTACT BOTH YOU AND THE AGENCY, SORRY YOU WERE NOT INFORMED OK,SO JUST GET TO HERE AND TALK TO HER BECAUSE I AN NOT SURE SHE CAN BETTER UNDERSTAND YOU BECAUSE MRS BRIGHT IS VERY OLD, SO WE WAIT YOUR REPSOND. Well I had sent the city link pet carriers a copy of this home page and I never got a reply back from them but I sent tomy a copy and he reply back saying . what is this ? i dont understand. But I didnt send any money cause I stop and did some checking myself and I do believe this was a scam for me but it didnt work , so beware of these emails and names dont let them get you check things out like I did before you do a thing. But these people needs to be STOP before they do take somebody if they havent already. But I was one that they didnt get a chance to take for my money. NAMES AND EMAILS ARE TOMY WASHINGTON IN NEW YORK AND MRS TOMY BRIGHT IN NORTH DAKOTA [email protected] AND THEN THE FLIGHT INFO EMAIL IS "CITY-LINK-PET-CARRIERS" [email protected]. But anyhow beware of them and I guess my granddaughter wont be getting a boxer puppy for xmas now. Signed By xxx

Welcome to Scamwarners. It's a typical pet scam. The mention of Cameroon, request for payment by Western Union or Moneygram, and wording leave no possible doubt. All lies apart from Cameroon, as it is a country that specialises in this particular scam. I'm glad you didn't pay up.
