Scams selling or giving away non-existent animals, often Puppy Scams.

This looks like a scam. You may post it in the online forum of Scamwarners.com to find out for sure. Please also see our 419 FAQ. Remember: If something sounds too good to be true, it probably is!
The following phrases should put you on alert:
"western union", "you are required to pay ":
this will cost you money - be careful with upfront payments to anyone you only know through email, especially if they promise you a lot of money. NEVER send money by Western Union or MoneyGram to people you do not know personally - NO EXCEPTIONS! Instant wire transfer services are not meant to be used with strangers because they offer no protection against fraud. That is precisely why the criminals want you send money that way.
Western Union or MoneyGram money transfer are the preferred method of online criminals to collect money from their victims. Such transfers are completely untraceable and therefore are not safe to use with anyone you do not know personally.
Once you have received any scam emails, it means the scammers know your email address. You will probably receive further scam emails. Therefore we recommend that you bookmark http://www.scamomatic.com (Ctrl+D) in your web browser for when you may need it again.
DISCLAIMER: While we try to give appropriate advice in the greatest number of cases, we must decline responsibilty for any mistakes that may occur. We encourage you to do your own research on the internet (for example, search on Google) and using other information sources. Get informed, talk to people you trust (your family, friends, your bank, local police) and then act accordingly.

Dear client,

Your Parrots have a very big problem here with the authorities at the airport . The Parrots have been held back at the final check point here at the Customs because of the need of an insurance. The harmonized law of 1993 positive constitution on the safety and security of animals life states in its articles 2 and 3 that no pet or animal shall be transported to SWEDEN without an insurance policy covering it . This is actually to protect the animal and the owner, because if some thing is to happen to the birds, the delivery company will be liable .

NB: the cost for the insurance to cover your parrots is 3800kr . It is important for you to note that this money is 100% refundable to you by the delivery agent upon delivery. When you pay this money just make sure that you keep the receipt well because you will have to present it to the delivery person before he refunds your money to you .


We expect this payment as soon as possible so that we can proceed with the transportation now. As soon as you make this payment sent us the payment information.

DATA FOR PAYMENT OF INSURANCE:

Surname ............. G W O K A M
First name .................. Y V E T T E
Country .................. Cameroon
Test Questions .............. when
Answer ................. Now


Note
If this insurance is not paid the customs will not allow your Parrots into SWEDEN and they will also have to go on quarantine for 11 months.


We guarantee you the best of our services until your Parrots are delivered to you.

Dear client!

Note that Animal transport is very delicate. The birds are so fragile and nothing is guaranteed.

Since yesterday, Rio, your Scarlet Macaw had an inflammation with his right leg. It was so serious but because it was late, we could not inform you. The situation became worst, and we had no other choice than to operate Rio.

We have a video of the operation. We have tried to send to you by email but it does not attach. We have sent a copy of the Video to Mrs Robak Kerstin. So you can contact her so that she sends the video to you.

Thank you

Welcome to Scamwarners Tusse90,

The shipping company is a fake and the website is in the process of being reported for fraud. The story about the injured bird is nonsense because the bird does not exist and this was an attempt to steal more money from you.
Refundable pet insurance does not exist either. Thank you for posting this information as a warning to others.
If you have any additional questions about this scam please ask.

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
