Pet Scam: Free Husky Puppies


One of our readers discovered that he was almost scammed, after checking out the comments by others at Yorkie Puppy Scam report. The following is a summary of the story:

1) The scammer is located in Africa.
2) He will post an ad on the local papers/classifieds, saying that he has just flown over to Africa.
3) He is offering a pet dog for free, but you will need pay for "shipment" to another party (same people).

As in most scams, nothing is real. This includes the name of the seller and the dogs. These are all make-up story to cheat money. Once you pay for the "shipment" charges to "the other party", they are gone.

The mail is attached for reference:

THANK YOU!!!!! That message that you sent me about the yorki pup, the message i got was identical only different breed, he spoke the same and everything i am giving a copy of the email he sent me for you records in case you have anyone else with questions. Thank you so much!!!!!! Kelly

Hello,

Thank you very much and i'm very very happy to read from you about your response on  taking good care of the babies,they are 18weeks old and both home trained and outdoor trained also playful with other animals and kids. The male named (timy) weigh 16lbs and the
female named (simy) weigh 16.5lbs and will weigh big when fully grown. they are both A K C registered and shots are given up to date and both home trained,both of them are my darling sweetheart and super spoiled!

They both have a sweet personality and love to play and be carried around. But i'm very sorry to tell you that it is too late for you to get the babies now. What really happened was that i just left the states for Africa some few days ago after i posted the the ad in the newspaper and before i left, i did not get any response from anybody that could take very good care of them for me. So i got a missionary call from our missionary headquarters in  Africa, t hen i had to bring the babies along with me here to Africa since i couldn't find
someone to adopt them before i left the states.

 I'm still willing togive the babies out to someone who can take very good care of them for me forever. All papers will accompany the puppies when shipped to you, Due to our long staying over here in Africa, and the bad weather my Wife and I have concluded to get good home and care for our babies. We are not charging or selling them to you for money but to save their lives and care for them,so this means that  you and i will be paying for the shipment of the puppies to you. They are VET checked, but right now we are in Africa on a Christian mission with my wife and 3 kids together with simy and timy, we have the puppies right here with us.

We are going to ship to you via a Diplomatic Courier Service Company with Express Delivery on next day delivery, if you are really i nterested in having my little babies, i want you to get back to me with your full Name , Home Address, direct contact phone number  and name of the nearest Airport to you. Please if you know that you are not capable of taking very good care of my babies, do not reply me because i am giving them out because of bad condition and we're spending months for the christian mission and i don't want simy and timy to die in this bad weather. And because we don't have time to take care of them due to the missionary work before us here.  They are priceless to me,therefore i am giving both for free, so i will like you to get back to me with your full name and full address including your nearest airport so that i can find out shipping cost.

I've attached pics of timy and simy.Please i want you to promise me that you will take very good care of them as soon as they get to you. Thank you and God bless you and your family.

Regards.

Hello I've been looking to get another akita and we found an ad on oodle where the ROBERT ROGAN said that the Akita was 400 and with the shipping it would be 510. I was really excited the problem was that he started instant messaging me and before i even told him that i didn't live nearby he had already said that he was going to leave to ship my puppy. regardless i was still so excited you know ive been wanting another akita and the akita he had were so gorgeous i didnt care i just wanted her home well i told him can you hold him for a week i currently only have 400 i can get the rest later. he said since you love my dogs so much ill let you get em for 400. i still didnt care it was like a miracle to me. but as i kept digging it just felt really off and then i went to look for the ad and it wasnt there and started looking all over the us for same ad and i came across the exact picture he had with other people. well the people from the agency called me and it was this number (509)723-0092 said they emailed me the information on the shipping and they told me their services were down and that i needed to wire them money through money gram or western union and even put 2 different kinds of money gram located near my home. buyers beware worldcouriersservice@live.com thats their email www.worldcouriercrc.com thats their URL. I do not trust them their is no reason for them to tell me to wire money to them. the person i was supposed to wire the money to was a person name "james brown"please becareful with people trying to scam you. I know it sounds to good to be true and you just want your pet home and its in an unbelievable price but if its to good to be true it most likely is. Dont let them scam thats the only way they can make money. Believe me i did not care that the akita was cheap i mean if i paid for him i would have had him tomorrow which is even way more unbelievable to me. i was super excited to have him home we were getting everything prepared for him already. i know i wrote a lot but i hope this help other people. i love animals so much and i understand how it feels like to be so excited that you found your pet at a reasonable price but please dont fall for them

Someone just tried to scam me tonight. I was looking for a husky puppy & sent an email. I got a response back & it sounded "fishy", they offered me the puppy for free but said I just needed to pay for shipping. The email used was melanijane33@yahoo.com.

The person doing the scam is claiming to have left the state & moved to Hawaii to do missionary work & puppy would be shipped via Diplomatic Courier Service Company Express Delivery.

I recently fell for this scam nd I wish I would have come across this website I am soon mad these disquieting bastard got me for $230.00. So this s how it started. I saw an add on oodle website abut Pomeranian dogs for sale. The add w as posted by a Rachel Beaton. She told me that she was given away 2 Pomeranian puppies and that all I had to pay was for shipping, she also promised that the puppies would come with all registered papers and a host of other goodies. So naturally I jumped on  it. I was tod to Western Union the money to them and then send them the confirmation number. After doing so I received a phone call from a man who barely spoke englishsaying that my puppy was getting ready for shipment. And that everything was ok. Later on I received another phone call from the same loan telling me that is need to send a extra 700 dollars in order to ship the puppy because the crate that the owner provided was not air conditioned. I told him no I was not going to send the army thing else and I started receiving over 30 text from the saler beginning me to pay the 700 dollars.her English was also broken so I believ that they were in another country as well.But it was a lesson learn. Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me.

This looks like the same scam, they also said they are using

here is their email address.   worldpetscourier@hotmail.com
website:    www.worldcouriercrc.com
If it sounds to good to be true it probably is. Some of these people are claiming to ship containers; dogs; toys, food and papers for what would be cheaper than a plane ticket. Be careful: I also noticed their english is really broken as if they were a foreign national trying to type complete sentences.....some of these people are boasting to have jobs that require an education.

The other email i ran into was beaton24@live.com and it belongs to a Rachel Beaton and the message was signed by a Randy. Again original add posted in the Kansas City area but then refers to out of  state, job can't make it,,, will send puppies... Blah,, Blah Blah.  Hope this helps avoid money ill spent.

Hello! I am wondering if you think this is a scam:

---

Hello
I am so sorry that another family have taken one of the puppies .
i am quite impress with your respond the puppy that is avliable is 14 weeks old .Actually the main reason
why i am giving out the puppy is the fact that i am leaving the country
for a long period of time to the United States of America to spend
the rest of my life over there and to continue my studies at the military base over
there .I will be leaving the country in few days time that is why i am
actually looking for a loving home for the puppy.The puppy is called Dela and he is the male puppy  ,i am looking for a home where he will be spoiled with Love .As i made you to understand the puppy is totally for adoption that means you won't be paying any money for him .I will give
Dela  to you with assurance that you will take good care of him .I know
you will be surprise why i am giving out the puppy for free, the main
reason is the fact that the puppy was been given to me as a gift and
i promise my my late mother that i won't sell the puppy so the best
thing is to give him out for adoption so that the puppy will be
spoiled with love to the home that he will be going to .As you have
promised to take good care of the puppy i am going to give him to you
.The only problem now is the fact that i am located at Perth and that will cost you a lot coming to pick up the puppy and i do know things are difficult now .You have nothing to worry about i have made inquiry about a
pet delivery agency that can deliver the puppy to you right at your
door step as the agency accepts door step delivery .The agency accepts
door step delivery for the rate of $300 i think this is a good and
better option since they shall deliver the puppy to you.All you have to
do is to pay for her delivery fee to the agency that will be doing the
delivery So you are not paying the fee to me but to the agency . As a
matter of fact you have to get back to me with your registration
details so that i can have the puppy registered at the agency very
early tomorrow morning so that you can have her at your home on Tomorrow
.The details should be as follows
FULL NAMES
HOUSE ADDRESS
PHONE NUMBER
POSTAL CODE
The main reason why i think the delivery idea will be a good and better
option is the fact that at this point in time i am so busy and i am
hardly at home since i want to put things together as i am leaving in
few days time.and the winter situation has not make things easier to my
side I would have loved to meet you in person but that won't be
possible since i am too busy.Might be in years to come we shall meet so
that i can see how the puppy is doing in her new home
Also the delivery agency is a pet delivery agency so they shall renew all their
documents and papers so that will be on your own advantage so i think
the delivery idea is good option because the agency shall make a
change of certificate of ownership that is changing my names as the
owner to yours as the new owner So by you giving me your details
that will be as an assurance that you have promise to take good care of
the puppy because that is what i need at this point in time
with those information's i can do the registration at the agency .Kindly get
back to me as soon as possible.he will be coming with all his
documents
My regards to your Family
Stay Blessed

Hi,

I think I might have been scammed about these huskys they were suppose to arrive today at 5.30 and when they did not arrive I sent them a email and they said that they have been waiting at the Douala airport to fly them out as the weather is really bad to put the puppies on the plane and they will fly them out tomorrow and I will get them in the evening starting to think they have scammed me. asked them for the phone number for that airport but they do not answer me

hi

same happened to me. twice actually. first it was some place in japan, and they used the whole 'poor phone lines' and told me to send the money asap. the second time was obviously some place in africa-- because after i KNEW it was a scam (the mailing puppy bit and sending money to so and so) i told the scammer to stop e-mail me. then i told him i was going to report him somehow! he emailed me back saying, 'be very careful or i'll show you real african black magic and to be wise'. LOVELY. seriously? i'm grossed out and it's pathetic that there isn't REALLY ANYTHING I CAN DO!

be careful.

You have nothing to worry about for it will take just a few hours for them to be delivered over to your home, I  have attached some pictures  for you to see.

 There are many pets transportation and delivery agency here that offers door to door delivery of pets , and their fees are very affordable , i did some inquires and was told that to ship the puppies  to you  will cost you just $100 for one and $ $200 for both  OK, these puppies are going to be delivered right at your door steps , so you don't have to bother about picking them up ok  , I know transporting them will not be a problem ,because these transportation and delivery agencies are capable of transporting even pets of 3-4 weeks.It will be nice register the puppies under a single name though you are to separate them once the puppies are been delivered, you can separate them  for it will cost us less  money and time, if that is ok by you then all you will have to do is just to get back to me with the  full home delivery address , which i am going to use in registering the puppies at the transportation and delivery agency , the address needed is ..........

 

Full Names........................

country....................

State......................

City.........................

Home Address......................

postal Code..................

Phone Number..................

Destination Airport.............

 

as soon as i have this information accurately provided by you , first i will take the puppy to the ministry of pets and livestock and do the transfer of ownership document and address , which is going to proof the new and legal owner , and from the ministry to the transportation and delivery agency for the transportation and delivery registration ,as soon as i am done with the  registration , the agency will then contact you the flight details of the puppy , such as the departure and arrival time of the puppy , so get back to me as soon as possible so that , we can proceed with the transportation and delivery of the puppy , so that they can be delivered over to your home tomorrow, thanks once more for the caring home you are willing to offer for my puppy.
