Comment thread "Puppy Scam" for Douala International Airport

The puppy scam is a form of Advance Fee Fraud. The Wikipedia article at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advance_fee_fraud about Advance Fee Fraud specifically mentions "Pet scams", and specifically mentions Cameroon and Nigeria as being frequent sources of this variation of the scam. It also cautions you that after you realize you've been scammed, you may be contacted by the same scammers, this time posing as some sort of law enforcement trying to track down the original scammers, or who have arrested the scammers and only need money for paperwork to recover your lost money. Don't be fooled again. Nobody in Cameroon is going after these people, and nobody here can be bothered, and even if they did, they wouldn't be asking you for money.

By the way, this scam not only involves puppies, but also parrots, monkeys, snakes, kittens, horses, and many other kinds of pets and animals.
