An ad was placed for free Yorkie Terriers in our local paper, email was the only source of contact. I responded to the email and they went on to say that they were a family with 3 kids and Christian missionaries sent to Nigeria and that they had 2 Yorkies with pictures attached that were dying do to the extreme weather conditions in Africa. They would get back to us on a shipping fee. The fee was $800 through "Success Pet Delivery Carrier" (a new pet shipping company that had recently opened in Africa) but that they would split the amount we pay $400 they pay $400. We were to Western Union the funds to Ken Wood in Nigeria who was in charge of shipping the dogs. "Pastor" Paul Anderson who is "the owner" of the dogs said he would be in touch as soon as they received our portion of the shipping fee. The shipper sent us an email stating that in order to complete the paper work and get the shipment ready they wanted an additional $500. Paul agreed to come up with $300 and we sent another $200. Again western Union the funds to Ken Wood. They confirmed shipment with a code that we would give the shipping company upon receipt of the dogs. The next day we received another email stating that the dogs are stuck in London and they want an additional $900 to cover taxes. They attached a Nigerian document that stated the shipment had stopped/pending transfer. We did not send anymore money. I informed him we did not have any further money to send and that $1300 should have been more then enough to cover the expense of shipping the dogs and that since they were to be sent back to him in Nigeria we wanted a full refund he pleaded to not let the matter be dropped and somehow together we needed to find a way to come up with the additional $900. I investigated online and realized it was a scam.
