SCAM Report #66 -- Weekend Warning !

Disclaimer: Air Animal Pet Movers, with offices in only Tampa, Florida is a provider of pet moving services to relocating families, globally, nationwide/USA, and within the Central Florida/Tampa Bay area. Air Animal is NOT a provider of transportation of puppies purchased across the internet where there is a financial relationship between a buyer and a seller.

The weekend is a favorite time for families to explore the possibilities through the internet of purchasing a wide variety of objects. Scmmers love weekends; please read on for more information.

The purchasing of a puppy, parrot, monkey, etc over the internet is easy. You see a photo of a cute, adoreable pet on the internet. The listed price is a bargain, and below market pricing. All you have to do is send money to a total stranger in another country, on the promise you will have puppy delivered to you by "Air Animal".

WRONG ! as our offices are closed on Saturdays and Sundays, you have no way to determine if the puppy you have sent money for is on its way. Also, the internet predators in Cameroon, Nigeria, Chad, Burundi, etc will not give you the airline air cargo airwaybill, nor will they give you the airline flight numbers; as you are entering a scam relationship.

Also .. most airline air cargo offices are closed on the weekend in the USA, Canada, and elsewhere.

As you will observe from the above, weekend purchases over the internet of anything are suspect, and should be treated with extreme caution. Once you send the CASH money via Western Union or MoneyGram, the scammers will only ask for more money; as they have hooked you as a "fish" .. and are simply rolling you into further expense; with nothing to show for your hard earned wired money.

Summary; Avoid weekend internet purchases. Know your seller personally; not through a fictitious internet relationship; ask for a minimum of three (3) satisfied customers of the seller of the item (puppies); read the 65 blogs posted by Air Animal previously; Google any of the following; the name of the seller, Nigeria, 419, Cameroon, Chad, Burundi, Ivory Coast, Cayman Islands, Yorkie puppy scams, English bulldog scams, and a new world of information will unfold before your eyes.

SCAM Report #65 - an intelligence test ... just takes a few minutes

Disclaimer: Air Animal Pet Movers is NOT engaged in the transportation of pets where there is a financial relationship between a seller and a buyer.

Air Animal is a pet moving service for relocating families, globally, nationwide/USA, and in the Central Florida/Tampa Bay area. From its one office in Tampa, Florida... Air Animal directs the movement of pets for relocating families.

You or a member of your household find a "free" or "low cost" puppy, parrot, monkey, etc on the internet or through an advertisement in your local newspaper. The photos of the puppies, etc are cute, adorable, and your hopes begin to rise as you get ready to send money (cash) to a total stranger and internet predator in another country.

Before you wire the CASH money ... via MoneyGram, or via Western Union... or via Canada Post .. go to Google.com . and enter the name of the person you are communicating with .. along with the following keywords ... "internet fraud", "internet scam", "interent predator", "Cameroon", "Ivory Coast", "Cote de Ivorie", "Chad", "Burundi", "Arica", "Cocos Islands", "cayman Islands", "Canary Islands",and "Nigeria".

The name of the person you are dealing with is merely a name; a fictitious creation by the internet predator who has only one interest and one interest only --- to separate you from your hard earned money.

Or, if you have trusted the internet predator at the other end of the e mail .. or at the other end of the phone, and have sent cash money overseas, and are wondering where your pet purchase is .. then enter the persons name in Google's keyword search, and see for yourself that you've been scammed.

SCAM Report #63 - Winners & Losers .. this week's report

Disclaimer; contrary to what you may have been told, or have been led to believe by imposters in the African country of Cameroon, and elsewhere; Air Animal, the Tampa, Florida based pet moving service for relocating families; is NOT involved in the transportation of pets purchased over the internet.

From the desk of Dr Walter Woolf, the veterinary founder and owner of Air Animal, the pet moving service for relocating families, since 1977, now in our 32nd year of continuous business, from our sole office in Tampa, Florida, USA.

Summary of this past week's reports from across the world.

Canadians continue to be trusting people; sending more per MoneyGram (cash) to Cameroon, for alleged puppies; that never appear than Americans.

Americans were targeted this past week as they are on a regular daily basis as victims of the con & scam artists in the African country of Cameroon and elsewhere..... with fictitious web sites provided the scam victims to allegedly "track" the shipment of the puppies. Of course, after the first transfer of CASH by Western Union and/or MoneyGram, you discover the "tracking web site" do not exist.

Our Briish cousins continue to be targeted as well; the "bait" this past week being African Gray parrots. For those who take the time & effort to read these blogs, you will benefit by knowing of the need for you to obtain a CITES import permit to bring the alleged birds into the UK, with quarantine at your residence; along with veterinary inspection at your residence. A call to your local UK veterinary surgeon will confirm this situation.

Our "down under" friends in Australia continue to take the "bait" from the con and scam artists in Camereoon, and elesewhere. Our Aussie friends would do well to look at the AQIS website ... www.aqis.gov.au .. to familiarize themselves with the imporation of pet dogs, cats, and birds into Australia.

Summary; if you contemplating purchasing and/or acquiring a pet via the internet, you are most likely setting yourselves up to be the victim of a scam from talented and sophisticated con artists in yes, the African country of Cameroon.

If the "deal" seems to good to be true, it is ... there are NO "free" or low cost pets to be purchased over the internet.

SCAM Report #62 -- the Canadian scam victim's profile

from the desk of Dr Walter Woolf, the veterinary founder and owner of Air Animal Pet Movers; the relocating pets best friend since 1977, with one (1) office only in Tampa, Florida / USA .

The Canadian scam victim's profile : with the free classified advertising available on www.kijiji.ca, a visit to the Canadian communities of Brantford, Thunder Bay, Fort MacMurry, etc is easy. You will observe the major Canadian cities on the kijiji.ca website are marked in bold red ... the smaller communities are not highlighted.

The scammers in the African country of Cameroon .. and other parts of the world, list their puppies, etc for adoption, sale, etc in the smaller communities of Canada, with the alleged and non-existent pet being shipped to you from a distant major Canadian city; a city which you are unable to drive to easily, usually at the other end of Canada.

The bait is set with either a cute, adorable puppy, etc or one at a lower than market price, or a breed not generally available to the Canadian pet owners. The Cameroon scammers bait the Canadian victims with amounts of CAD$400.00, $800.00, $1200.00, etc .. usually in multiples of $400.00.

We spoke to one scam victim in Brantford, who was milked in amounts of CAD$250.00 in multiple MoneyGram transfers via Canada Post.

Summary; if you live in a Canadian province, and not in the major city of the province, and you find a pet for purchase in kijiji's free classified advertising web site, and the pet will be shipped to you from a distant major Canadian city, you are at the beginning of an internet scam.

A picture may be worth a thousand words, yet the scammers in Cameroon, Africa and elsewhere turn that picture into thousands of dollars for internet purchases that were never meant to exist in the first place.

DISCLAIMER : Air Anmal Pet Movers of Tampa, Florida/USA does not transport puppies, parrots, monkeys, etc where there is a financial relationship between a seller and a buyer. Air Animal is a pet moving service for relocating families, nationwide and worldwide, operating from offices in Tampa, Florida only.

DISCLAIMER : Air Animal is NOT involved in the transportation of puppies, parrots, monkeys, etc where there is a seller & a buyer.

the web site .. www.kijiji.ca .. where the scammers can post FREE classified ads ... has caused Canadians to lose significant amounts of cash money through "puppy purchase scams" .

Yes .. there is "gold" in Canada ! and the Cameroon scammers have found the method of mining for it through puppy purchase scams; especially targeting Canadians.

SCAM Report #60 - Los Angeles - there are no "free puppies" in this world ; there's gotta be a catch ..there was.

from the desk of Dr Walter Woolf, the veterinary founder & owner of Air Animal Pet Movers, the Tampa, Florida based pet moving service for relocating families; and, NOT the transporter of puppies by the imposters, liars, cheats, scoundrels, and rogues in Cameroon, the African country home to internet fraud and business identity thieves.

sure .. the all white Maltese puppy was free .. the only "catch" was that there were "shipping costs of $200.00" .. that was the first hook of the bait and switch routine used by the Air Animal imposters in Cameroon.

summary: Los Angeles pet owner to be ..... spared of losing $200.00 .

SCAM Report #59 - Victoria, BC ... the non-existent Boxer puppy from London : BC resident saved CAD$425.00

from the desk of Dr Walter Woolf, the founding owner & managing director of Air Animal .. the pet moving service for relocating families; NOT the transporter of puppies for the internet scammers based in Cameroon, the African country whose national product is internet fraud, business identity theft, scams, etc.

the "bait" this past weekend was a white 2 1/2 month old Boxer puppy, yes ... they are adoreable and cute, yet the asking price of CAD$300.00 plus shipping charges of CAD$125.00 seemed "too low" for the BC purchaser, who was going to pay cash, and not use MoneyGram, nor Western Union, and certainly was not going to give a total stranger in another country her major credit card over the telephone, nor via an e mail.

sorry, boys: the white Boxer puppy bait did not work this past weekend.
