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.

.. 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.
