I want to adopt a puppy and this owner seemed really promising. I've been emailing her for a few days now and I'm not sure if this is a scam or not. The previous email was very concerned about the welfare of the puppy and provided multiple photos of the puppy with the owner's (supposed) child. Does this seem like a scam?

good home for my puppy and i am very convinced that the puppy will be
well taking care of by you.I will like to add some more qualities of
the puppies that was not mention in the previous mail i sent to you.

Answer
100% scam.

There is no dog.

There are stolen pictures of someone else's dog.

There is only a scammer trying to steal your hard-earned money.

The next email will be from another of the scammer's fake names and free email addresses pretending to be the "pet shipping company" and will demand you pay for shipping fees, in cash, and only by Western Union or moneygram.

Western Union and moneygram do not verify anything on the form the sender fills out, not the name, not the street address, not the country, not even the gender of the receiver, it all means absolutely nothing. The clerk will not bother to check ID and will simply hand off your cash to whomever walks in the door with the MTCN# and question/answer. Neither company will tell the sender who picked up the cash, at what store location or even in what country your money walked out the door. Neither company has any kind of refund policy, money sent is money gone forever.

Now that you have responded to a scammer, you are on his 'potential sucker' list, he will try again to separate you from your cash. He will send you more emails from his other free email addresses using another of his fake names with all kinds of stories of great jobs, lottery winnings, millions in the bank and desperate, lonely, sexy singles. He will sell your email address to all his scamming buddies who will also send you dozens of fake emails all with the exact same goal, you sending them your cash via Western Union or moneygram.

Do you know how to check the header of a received email? If not, you could google for information. Being able to read the header to determine the geographic location an email originated from will help you weed out the most obvious scams and scammers. Then delete and block that scammer. Don't bother to tell him that you know he is a scammer, it isn't worth your effort. He has one job in life, convincing victims to send him their hard-earned cash.

Whenever suspicious or just plain curious, google everything, website addresses, names used, companies mentioned, phone numbers given, all email addresses, even sentences from the emails as you might be unpleasantly surprised at what you find already posted online. You can also post/ask here and every scam-warner-anti-fraud-busting site you can find before taking a chance and losing money to a scammer.

If you google "Cameroon pet scam", "fake puppy sale scam Western Union" or something similar you will find hundreds of posts from victims and near-victims of this type of scam. There are sites where you can look up pictures and find the site or sites where the scammer stolen the cute pictures of the puppies.

Thank you in advance!
I meant to ask..how much would you charge for this service? I don't have this many pets..I'm curious how much I should ask for.

Answer
Wow, you have a lot of animals. I don't know how much a pet sitter would charge. I'll just give you a idea on how much boarding would be. But for boarding a dog I charge 18.00 a day and cat 10.00 a day. I don't board hamsters or bunnies. My dog Kennel boarding facility is in Portland Oregon. Make sure you find a good pet sitter, some of them don't have a clue. And the owner ends up having them bring their dogs in to the kennel.
