How embarrassing! I can't believe my partner and I were a victim of a scam! We were searching for yorkies to adopt b/c a friend of ours just bought one (but w/in the U.S.). I currently have a yorkie poo but we wanted him to have a "little brother" and someone to play with. Long story short. I emailed Mr. Kelly Ray b/c I found his add on a website to see if he had anymore yorkies b/c the add was from last year but we just wanted to see if he had a new batch of puppies. He replied and sent a pic of the boy named "Neron" and the girl "Diana". We decided to get Neron and sent the $250 to have him sent to us. After the payment was made, we recieved an email from with the flight itinerary stating the puppy was being sent over. We were too excited! Than the next day we got an email from the "British Internat'l Airport" about the puppy not having internat'l insurance and how we needed to pay $1150 or $610 and how the money would be refunded. We payed (like a fool!) a day later and later got an email about how they recieved the money and how the puppy would be on the next flight. Than the day the puppy was to be delievered a few hours before the "supposed" flight we got an email about paying $370 for the food and accomodation of the puppies stay in the airport for 2 days. I emailed the seller, Kelly about the fee to see if he could pay it for us b/c I wasnt paying anything else for this puppy. He wrote back about how he didnt have the money and to please help him. Than he later wrote an email about how he was able to come up with $100 and for us to find a way to pay the rest so Neron isnt stuck in the UK b/c if he stays there too long he will be taken to a pet nursery and will be treated very badly. I wrote Kelly back and told him I wasnt paying anything else and I still havent heard from him and normally he will email back with a decent amount of time. I havent paid and I didnt pay because something told me to do more research on the Duoala Airport and British Internat'l Airport to make sure that it was legitamate. I ended up running across this website and here I am... Upset and pissed off that I fell for something like this! What was I thinking?! The funny ting about it is that whenever they would call me they would never state, "This is so and so calling from the Duoala Airport or British Internatl airport" and when I called them for the first time last night in douala, the man answered the phone reguarly and just said "hello?" like other people have stated please DONT fall for this SCAM! Does anyone know how we can stop this from happening or if we can sue these people or something?! I know it is internat'l and the chances are probably very slim but I have to ask!
