christina - March 17, 2010
Ok i put a comment on here before. these guys will not quit!! they keep emailing me telling me they really need me to send them money for a "refundable insurance fee". Pfft!! like i'm that big of an idiot. Like i said before, i was an idiot for sending $250, but they want me to send more for something that they should provide? HA! "free" my ass! anyhoo... if you get a message from these 2 addresses, don't do it!! the first is rubencaston@yahoo.com they decided to change the email address claiming to have been hacked to markanthony53@yahoo.com and the name on that they want money sent to is Julius Suh. These people are such liars. but to all that wrote feedback, THANK YOU!! you guys are great for the heads-up and thanks so much to all. you saved me a bundle

My girlfriend and I had an ad on Kijiji stating we wanted a Great Dane pup. This "Christian" woman, named Clara Edwin and her husband Mbuh Edwin, emailed us stating she had a male and a female pup she wanted to give away to a good home FOR FREE, because she was moving for her job. She wanted us to pay $150.00 for shipping. We were scepticale right away, 2 Danes puppies, free, with 150.00$ fee from Camerron to Canada..hmmm..I emailed her a nasty email, stating if this was a scam in any way, to be ready for legal action. She stated over and over to trust her and so on. She kept pushing us to send the money Western Union, and if we felt more comfortable sending it to the airport instead of her, to do that. We said we'd think about it, and the next morning the "Airport" emailed us a "confirmation" about the puppy at the sirport. The email was colored texts with graphics. Another throw me off, what kind of airport send that kind of emails? I demanded the email of the air port and when I Googled it, I found this site, with all this feedback and said forget it!!! We told her to leave us alone, we were'nt interested, and blocked everything from them. They took advantage of how much we wanted this puppy, and just be aware, these people are thieves, right from the "Christians", to the people working at the airports!! Thank God we realized before we sent any money, but we were so close!!! It scares us still to think about it. Glad to say, we found a breeder close by, and have had our Great Dane pup for a week now :) BEWARE THIS IS A SCAM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Tami (usa) - March 12, 2010
OMG!!! this scam sucks. So this lady tells me we can have two english bulldogs. all we have to do is send money for the flight. well we did that. The next morning after the dogs were suppose to already be here. I get a call from a man clamming to be from the airport. telling me that we need to send $890.00 more for insurance for the dog to fly over seas. well my dumb ass really wanted to send it until my boyfriend found this site. now I know I have been scammed!!! this sucks.. not like I have a lot of money to just throw away. And like everyone else the lady told me she was a christan. which is bullshit!! I trusted this lady. and to make it even worse I was so excited thinking that we were about to get two puppies!!
christina - March 11, 2010

[info]S.B. Perez (Texas) - February 11, 2010
I am from Texas and saw this ad in our News Paper saying this lady was moving and needed to find homes for her 4 Teacup Yorkie's.Turns out she lived here in Douala, Cameroon....her name is "Nancy Jone". I was told all i had to pay was for his flight which was $285. So i sent that to her, I had even received a confirmation from AirFrance regarding his flight. Well the next day i received an email from AirFrance stating they could not release the dog to the USA because he was missing some documents. I forwarded the email to the lady and she responded back saying to get these documents it was going to cost $325. She said she would put in half if i could put in the other so I did. I sent her $160.....she said she took care of the documents, got them faxed over to the airline and we were waiting on confirmation. Well she got confirmation and emailed me stating they needed an additional $200 to renew his flight. I told her I had no more money to send her and thought this was getting out of control. Somehow she managed to come up with $110 and asked if i could send $90.....again i did so. Once she renewed his flight and got confirmation she sent me an email saying his flight was renewed but they were asking for a refundable $300 for insurance. At this point im fed up......I started to do some research and led me here. I started reading all the feedback and now i feel so stupid!!! I truly trusted this lady.....she also said she was a Christian and was looking to find a Christian home for her puppies. What a load of CRAP.....she will get whats coming to her. I am a firm believer in Karma......all I have to say is MAY GOD HAVE MERCY ON HER!!!!!

So I just want to let everyone know that there is so many people that is out here cramming people, I saw this Teacup Yorkie and wanted it so bad, She said that it was free and then she told me that the flight ticket was 175.00 so I sent it to her money gram, then she emailed me the next day saying that I needed an extra 490.00 because she needed insurance to come over sea's to the USA.I finally realized that this was too crazy nothing sounded right after the second money thing, and what I dont understand is that she sat there and wrote in this email that she was a christian and all this YOU ARE NOT A CHRISTIAN YOU WILL BE GOING TO HELL. I will tell you that I will never ever do something over the internet ever again

I just went thought the puppy thing to with a man and never got my puppy, It seemed so real the phone call, emails, and web site and all he kept saying to me was more reasons to send more money. The last thing was to send him money for puppy insurance to fly home and ill get it back right away. It all was a lie and lost lots of money.
Almost Fooled - November 23, 2009
Animal smuggling is illegal in the US. Anyone wanting you to send money for a cute little puppy or exotic bird is a THIEF! DO NOT SEND ANY MONEY WESTERN UNION TO ANYONE!!! Jusy because they instant message you doesn't make it legit. These scumbags are scammers and have perfected this internet fraud so they can't get in any trouble because there is no proof! It costs more than a couple hundred bucks to air freight a dog! DONT BE FOOLED!!!

[1 stars]B Ngong (Jakiri) - May 20, 2008
Its a hame that custom and the so called forces of law and order put at the airport to protect travelers are mostly a gang of thieves. They find every lame excuse to extort money from people coming into the country or traveling abroad. Where did these guys receive their training. If the Cameroon government refuses to put an end to the bribery and corruption going on at the airport, it means that they find nothing wrong with corruption, as the money eventually end up in their private pockets. Please wake up. You can do better.

[info]Abessolo Onana (N/A) - March 19, 2008
DLA airport is a typical African airport - full of thieves, corrupt customs, gendarmes and police officers who are absolutely interested in stealing from air travellers. The use od any lame excuse, such as not having the yellow innoculation card issued by the Cameroon medical staff is cause enough to land you in trouble and be prepared to pay bribes to these poorly paid officials.
Every time I travel throught the african continent, my pulse and heart rates almost double. I do travel extensively around the world and especially across the African continent. Always have spare cash (change) in hand. It will certainly prove handy.
