The next day I was contacted by Bebah Evaristus Chiabi at 24 Ave New Airport Street Awah in Douala,Cameroon and told that I had to purchase and refundable temperature controlled carrier which we did. Then today this Babah guy emailed me and said that the pet insurance had expired (since Friday afternoon) and we needed to send an additional $820 for new pet insurance for the puppies. I emailed Ms. Moore that we couldn't do this because it was sounding more like a scam every time I got an email. She said that she would check into it. She then emailed me begging me to send the money directly to herby by MoneyGram (To: Ambe Christine Neba at Apt SED new lake street in Ebolowa, Cameroon, 00237. I wrote her back that I was scammed for $590 and no more would be comming.

There is no animal, and there is nothing the airport can do because the scammer isn't at the airport. Block their phone number and their email and ignore them. They may try to contact you with more fake credentials and different email addresses, but keep ignoring them. Nothing good can come out of engaging with these people.

Comment by an Anonymous Flier on Potchefstroom Airport, South Africa:

Potch airfield is the home to Akavlieg Potcheftsroom, a prominent gliding club in South Africa. The airfield is also home to the JS factory - a 18m glider factory. This glider has performed exceptionally well in world competitions. The extra runway was never really needed for the Spaniards, but a "Lanseria" might just kill the gliding of. It might have been good if all stakeholders were considered before the big ideas started flying around.

One of the things that this site provides is a link to the official web site for the airport (if we know of it). In the case of this airport, we do have a link to it. Perhaps if you can't find what you want here, you should try the one that people are actually getting paid to maintain, instead of rubbishing the one that's done by volunteers?

Comment by @david on OR Tambo International Airport, South Africa:

Thanks for talking a look around. We provide open data for over 40,000 airports around the world, much of it contributed by our members. For real-time arrivals and departures, however, we depend on FlightStats, which kindly lets us republish their status pages for airports that have airline service. If there are other features you'd like to see, please let us know, and I'll look into adding them (this is a volunteer/hobby site, so speed of new features depends on the time I can get free from work and family obligations).
