Puppy in Africa - We've Been Scammed
Hello everyone,
Well, I think this story is a little bit of both, upsetting and heart breaking. My mother and I lost our beloved Black Pug to unknown causes Tuesday of last week. She was so heartbroken, that I suggested we find another puppy. So, we searched on Craigslist to see if we could find something cute, and furry to replace the void in out heart. She and I both fell in love with this adorable Silver/Brown English Bull puppy. Under our first impression, we thought she was in Cupertino, which would have been driving distance. But, when we got further intangled in this shceme, the man told us he was in Africa, working on a Road Project in Camaroon. My mother and I were so in LOVE with this baby bull, that we thought, "Okay, maybe this guy is Legit..." Lowandbehold, he wasn't. After reciving an e-mail from the "French Customs" department, asking us to send over another $420 dollars to some "PAUL NGULEFAC". We were immediatley heartbroken, and starting doing as much research as we could to find out who these people were. And that's when it lead me here. The e-mail adress in which they sent it was "pet_department@mail2aaron.com". I found a post on Google about Free Domains and Scams. I'd like to know, should we trust these people, Or, should we just walk away?

Do not trust them at all, and please do not send them more money!
There are lots of pet scams. They say they have cute animals available for sale (dogs, horses, monkeys), but then when the animal is being shipped some problem comes up. Like the dog gets stuck in Customs and you have to pay a fee to get him released -- what true animal lover would NOT send a few hundred dollars to save a puppy from starving in a crate in an airport somewhere? Unfortunately the puppy does not exist and it is just a story made up to steal your cash. With all the fraud out there these days, it is better to be safe than sorry. I hope you and your mother can find a new puppy. How horrible to lose your beloved companion and then have a cruel trick like this played on you!

i agree
Do not send anymore money! If you are not fimiliar with Nigerian scams or any other scam, it is easy to get caught up in something like that.
