Scammers stoop to new lows : SCAM Report #51

from the desk of Dr Walter Woolf, the principal owner & managing director of Air Animal Pet Movers, the Tampa, Florida USA based pet moving service for pet owning families changing their domiciles; with ONE office only in Tampa, Florida.

the Cameroon scammers are stooping to new lows in human behaviour when they ask you for your religious affiliation as part and parcel of their desrie to extract cash from you in the form of either Western Union and/or MondeyGram payments for puppies, parrots, monekys, etc that simply do not exist.

these pets only exist in the form of digital photos on web sites.

this past week has been a bad week for Canadians who have wired CASH overseas to the AFrican country of Cameroon ... waiting for puppies that simmply will never arrive, as they never existed in the first place.

when the conversations, either by e mail or in person involve your religious affilation, its time to cease communicating with the person and/or persons at the other end of the conversation.

Ask yourself this simple question: "what does my religious affiliation have to do with the acquisiton of a puppy, or anything for that matter"?

the answer is obvious. Caveat emptor ... buyer beware !

dear Krystal .. through your loss you are able to share your information with potential pet owners and puppy purchasers globally.

with thanks for sharing ....

Multi-Level Internet Fraud .. money to the UK. When you're asked to send money to the UK -- or elsewhere - for pet purchases ... read on ...

.. when the Internet seller of that cute puppy, Pomeranian, teacup Chihuahua, teacup Yorkie, adorable Maltese, beautiful Bulldog puppies, etc ... wants you to send money to the UK for the purchase ... B E W A R E .... the MoneyGram and/or Western Union payment is only the beginning of a multi-level scam where all you will get are receipts for your cash transfers ..and nothing else.

.. when the money arrives in the UK .. it triggers an automatic transfer to another bank account in another country. Simple, yet a highly effective method of global fraud for the African based scammers in Cameroon to receive cash in their accounts.
