Hi beware has i neary got scammed out of 150
i recently saw an avert in my local free ads paper! It stated free bichon frise puppy thats all i needed to pay was the shipping cost from belfast! I emailed seller who emailed me back instantly stated her name was sharon and reason for the ad was that she was moving to austrailia has she just qualified has a vet we exchanged a few emails even sending me a cute picture of the so called puppy!
Alarm bells started ringing when she asked me for my personal detail including date of birth! I didnt give out my date of birth but told her my name address etc in previous emails. I rang the number and an african speaking man with bad english answered my call an stated his wife sharon had popped out? He explained i needed to pay shipping costs asap for the puppy i was to recieve i refused and he then he got aggressive on the phone saying i needed to pay the cost for the puppy in order to recieve it! His name was enoh carine at limbe cameroon his telephone number 0023776102364. This is just one of the emails i recieved down below...
