They asked me to pay $140 for said dog, Jake, as a gift for my husband. I found out about this scam and have been talking to "derick wayne" for over two days now trying to get any information from him that I can. I have gotten the same as everyone. The email was very well written and convincing. What first flagged me was in the craigslist ad there were two reds and a black. The pics they sent me were Katy, Cindy and Jake.
"""Hi Dear
I am so impressed with your inquiry about adopting my babies.. i have
been looking for a home for them for a while now but not only a home
but a forever home for them.. firstly let me tell you about them. Am
having one male and two females.Jake is the male while Katy and Cindy
are the females... they are all registered with the following animal
registration club that is Akc and are veterinary checked and
vaccinated and have all health records till date and housing documents
. I am not out to sell them, all i want is to give them out to a home
or family that is able to spoil them with the love and care that they
deserve,so all i need of you is to assure me you will take good care
of them because i don't want to give you my puppies) out and discover
they are not handled with care.These puppies were owned by my late
grand Mum. So when she died i was sent here in Cameroon for a research
project which is going to last for 3 years. I came with them here in
Cameroon but the bad climatic condition here and also the nature of my
job does not permit me to take good care of them. That’s why am trying
to send them back to their home land in USA to a loving home where
they will be spoiled with all their needs and treated with love.So you
just need to assure me you will take good care of my puppies.please
before we proceed i will like to ask you some questions if you don't
mind? Are you a breeder? Do you have kids? Do you have a vet around
your location? What will be your reaction if in case they destroy some
thing worth 100$? Sorry for all the questions alright,I just wanna
make sure that my babies have a good and caring home were ever they
may be. I will give each of them to you for $140 each Okay, since you
will only pay for the change of ownership document bearing your full
names address and you will the dog home. my husband and i will be
responsible for the shipping fee so you got nothing to worry about
Okay, All we are asking you to pay is $140 for the change of ownership
papers from my names to yours alright, this means that you are new
owner of the dog and you will have your dog delivered to your home
Okay. Like i said earlier you don't have to worry about the
transportation fee because it's our responsibility to pay for the
shipping fee Okay.

Hi Just this morning I was scammed I fell for the exact same with a basset hound pup:( devastated they cleared my mums bank account through western union..and they keep threatening with prision and I have emails which made me think It was legit cant believe they would do this,the money was sent to Limbre,Cameroon
If you sent the money via Western Union, MoneyGram or any other wire service you are screwed there is nothing you can do -- you can't get your money back.
BEWARE, THESE CAMEROON AFRICA PET SCAMMERS ARE MAGGOTS ALL OVER THE INTERNET.
You can identify these scammers because they will insist you pay by money order or wire transfer. NEVER wire funds via Western Union, MoneyGram or any other wire service -- anyone who asks you to do so is a SCAMMER.

"I came with them here in Cameroon but the bad climatic condition"
This is the classic ploy from these Cameroon scammers as to why they are giving up the non-existent puppies.
Scammers from Cameroon can't write English -- RED FLAG
Scammers from Cameroon use "Okay" or "OK" throughout their emails -- RED FLAG
Please remember: ALL OFFERS OF PETS FROM CAMEROON AFRICA ARE SCAMS, WITHOUT EXCEPTIONS!
