I think maybe I might have someone trying to scam me from cameroon, she goes by lionessheart56 and chris is the name she wants me to go to my airport and pay a customs fee of 200.00 for the dog she has yet to ask me to send money to her if she does I won't. If I pay this fee at the airport can I get it back?

You will never get any money back. There are no yorkies, monkeys or any other animal being sent from Cameroon.

i answered an ad for a free yorkie...not realizing where they were from....he wanted 500.00 to ship it to me...i declined told them i could only send them 250.00 so stupid me did...then i got a email from the duoala internation airport saying that i have a puppy waiting to be shipped to me but i would have to pay another 630.00 for international insurance and that i would get the money refunded to me when the puppy arrived...i replied back to the person and told him he would have to put the money up front and when the puppy was sent to me then he would get his money back......wow im glad i found this site and i wasnt stupid enough to send the money..i just wish i could find a way to get my money back that i sent him...thank god i kept all his emails too so beware no puppies in cameroon

im looking for a yorkie for me and the kids i have answered about 10 ads for yorkies and teacup yorkies and 8 out of 10 of them have told me they are from cameroon and will have to ship the puppy so be very leary always ask there location first

Some don't tell you they are in Cameroon.... if you are paying by Western Union you are not getting anything in return.

I would advise only buying a pet you can see. If you are having one shipped from anywhere... check them out with the BBB first.

If you are getting a pet from overseas you will probably not get it and might get arrested by the customs service if you actually got one, like a Monkey.

i also found out today i was reading a website and they said that the best way to pay for anything is usually paypal cause they will give your money back if you didnt get the item you purchased not like western union who wont do that

My mom, sister and I were about to do something we would regret. I began some research because something about these pet venders didnt sound legit. I didnt know where the location was at so i searched on the web that CAMEROON is in west africa. some lady said that she joined the peace corp and wouldnt b able to take care of the yorkie pup. So we kept searchin for other sellers and we found another one who was sellin 2 pups theres "free" but u had to pay the shipping. We waited for both emails.. the first was doin the shipping for 80 dollars then the second for the two pups were doin it for 110dollars. then when i matched the emails up together.. the way they wrote their emails was totally similar.

and a funny thing both were from the Same Province and COuntry. and both said to send the money through western union. isnt that something?

their emails are: kkuse67@yahoo.com

and kristabelle williams

i could tell it was a scam because the way the pics looked .. and one of them said that they sent pics in an attachment bt they never did. it was total bull. they only had one pic. and the other two pups looked like pics from a calender.

everybody should b warned

also watch out if they say they are in the peace corps because their is no such thing as that over there.. beware.

ITS FRAUD. do ur research before deciding to get a pup or any type of animal. its all fake. Cheap yorkies r too good to b true. the cost about 1000 dollars and even more than that.. they say u just pay for shipping... untrue.
