Ripoff, Purchasing scam, Sent money to purchase a puppy once the checks were deposited they were cancelled and funds were taken from my account

Business & Finance

I had a pomeranian puppy for sale in my local newspaper online. I received a relay message via cell phone (the number advertised). The conversation consisted of a person (Cole Peter) wanting to purchase my puppy.

We emailed back and forth several times. Cole was to mail me a check for the purchase price plus $100 bonus dollars and also the money for his agent in London. As soon as I received the checks I was to go and cash them and then wire the balance of the money to the agent in London.

I received the checks and took them to my bank that day. The bank would not cash them because I did not have funds to cover them so I deposited the checks in my savings account. I was told by the bank that it would take up to 5 days to clear the checks since there could be a stop pay put on them. The checks were for the amount of $990.00 each and there were three checks all together. This was a total sum of $2,970.

I guess I can thank the good Lord above that I am not a wealthy person, because on the second day the checks were returned. This means that the stop pay had been put on the checks. If I had enough money in my account to cash the checks I could have been out $2970.00.

A tip off that I had in all of the emails with instructions on what to do with the money Cole Peter always told me that when I got the checks to go cash them right away and wire the money to his agent in London. Something else that did not add up to me was that the checks were bought by a person (Pamela Scott) who used the address of Benesville, IL, and the package came through DHL with the address of a Dasco Amma at 4656 HT Anna Ave Brooklyn, NY 11210.

The agent I was to wire the money to was a Mr. Gordon Meyers at 99, Croydon Rd, Penge London, SE20 7TA, United Kingdom. Below I am pasting the last email received from Cole Peter. Cole changed his email address at least twice. The DHL tracking # on my package is 36362905946 and as you can see the package actually left from Milwaukee, WI. Here are the tracking results:

Here is the last email that was sent by one Cole Peter. This group of people or person did not get to rip me off simply because I have been scamed before and am very cautious and because I don't have a lot of money. However, the next victam may not be as lucky.

Is there any way that I can talk to you on the phone. I have an issue. I sent you several emails and did not get a response and therefore I sent one last email and told you that if the money was not received I had to sell the puppy to someone else. And so this happened this past Saturday. I do have the black puppy still. Would you be interested in that one? I have thought about contacting the buyer of the brown one to see if they would trade puppies but I am not sure if they will. I hate to ask that person as well since they have possesion of the puppy. I hope you understand my position as well. I have been in limbo for two months now and my husband griping at me every day. Please advise as to what I am supposed to do with the checks now? I did receive them today but will not be able to send them out until tomorrow. Again I do still have the female puppy if you are interested in her. I feel real bad and sympathize with your situation but you really have to understand my situation as well. If you want the girl let me know how much money I should keep, and I will follow through with your instructions. Please let me know as soon as possible.

You will deduct the WESTERN UNION transfer charges from the balance that is left with you.

There is one thing i need you to do for me, please it is in respect of the agent whom you will send the shipping money to, please make sure you send the money to the agent immediately you cash the money orders as the agent is planning to go Asia on an urgent business trip, so once you send the money to the agent, you will be contacted immediately on the shipping modalities. Below is the information of the shipper where you will send the excess shipper's funds via WESTERN UNION international money transfer, please print this info out and have it with you so immediately you recieve the check, please go and cash it and go and send the shipper's money to the details below according to our agreement;
