Its sad this has to be my first blog but OH WELL! I was researching Teacup Pomeranian Puppies for sale or adoption a couple days ago(if youv ever seen one you know why!),when I came across an ad in the online Pennysaver saying 3puppies need new homes due to a new job.The owner had recently moved to Cameroon,Africa working with the WHO-World Health Organization,and due to this she doesnt have the time to give them the attention and care the pups deserve.Well I wasnt born yesterday,I'm a pretty cautious person.However I was willing to keep an open mind and google any info she gave me as I went along.So the email I recieved from her(From dolly parton) was very broken english, with info about the puppies, and pretty much begging me to promise that I treat "Casey" like a princess.The second email requested $175 for transportation costs only and paid directly to the airline.I looked up WHO&Cameroon and they were both legit.She said the airline would email me with the payment intructions and further info.So when I got it I researched the pet transpotation company that claimes to work with Delta airlines and another big name.The result? FRAUD ALERT WEBSITE!!! The man that runs this scam really does live in Cameroon,but he has like 5 aliases!! So as hurt and upset as I was, I text back the girl and told her what happened.She responded with an OMG and she better go get "Casey" and take her to a different transport company.Well I asked her for her name,address,phone number so that when I go to the police tomarro they can talk to you about this.Her response?? PERFECT english,and a script about GOD. Really? Yes.She also gave me her name- Dolly Patterson,which I googled connected to -Pomeranian Puppies- and found a different website about internet fraud!
This situation really devestated me.I love animals and was soooo excited to get a sweet little puffball puppy to pamper! I mean you should have seen the pictures! Freakin adorable! Life happens and I guess this is just another lesson learned.When something sounds too good to be true,,it is.
Thanks for listening to me rant,I promise everyday wont be like this! LOL
