I was seconds away to loosing 300 for a White boxer dog that didnt even exist. I spent hours looking on net for a white boxer puppy when came across a few adverts so mailed them all back asking if they had any for sale. The 1st to email me back was James Madine from belfast??? He said he had 4 boxers left 1 of each colour and 1 of each sex, so we chose to go with a male white boxer. He asked me allsorts of questions ie. Do u have kids? Do u work? Can u take dog for walks? Which convinced me he wanted the best for his puppies.
Mr madine? Whoever he is was very convincing over the phone even though he spoke with was not an english or irish accent i was still sucked in by his lies. He named the puppy we were having Kent. He Told us that 1st thing monday morning the pet delivery company would ring us so we could arrange delivery and make payment. Sure thing Monday morning a guy form pet delivery rings and gives me 45 minutes to go to post office to pay 300 via money gram to: Besong Etarh, Limbe, 1026 Rome Street, Cameroom, zip code 00237.
Myself being so excited about having my little puppy that same day i rushed to post office. It was only when the post office assitant told me that i should be careful as he has had some1 else local who has ettempted to buy a puppy and paid some1 over in cameroon and received nothing that i paused. The assistant had my 300 pound in his hand ready to make moneygram payment but i decided to make a call to Mr James madine 1st. I thought i would try and trick him by asking about the puppy and he could not answer as he knew nothing about dogs.
I quickly thanked post office for making me aware of such scams and rushed home and done some research on net. This guy is making so much money out of innocent people it is unbeleivable, cant beleive the number of cases i have read. Feel so stupid for nearly falling for it and believing the guy (James) was actually the same man i was speaking to from the pet delivery company. Lets hope he gets stopped soon.
