I read in the local newspaper that a person wanted to give their english bulldog up for adoption. I thought it was to good to be true. The man told me to send him $350.00 for the shipping of the dog.
I sent him the money. He then called me and said the transaction was good. That night I recived an email that said that "dora" would arrive at the airport the following morning.
That morning I recived an email that said I had to give him more money because of a problem in customs. I then told him I needed to know how much he was demanding. He said it would be $ 400.00 more.
I said that I would not give him anymore money and by this time I was at school, so I told him that I could not do this emailing thing anymore that day because I was at school.
He did not care later that day I recived an email from him that demanded he recive the $ 400.00 today. I knew then that this was a scam and I should have went with my first feelings about him.
He then emailed me later to tell me that his pastor gave him $200.00 of the four hundred he needed, so that I would only have to give him $200.00. I told him he would not get another penny from me or my family. I also stated that he needed to get me the money or my dog.
I found out that the man I sent the money to has many websites that scam people out of their money. Well to my disgust I was reading our paper today and saw three email adresses all by him, claimming to have a female english bulldog for adoption. They give different email adresses but they are all the same person. The description is almost identical with only the order of words swithced around.
I want everyone to be aware that this man has no morals about him he has sunk low enough to claim that he has went to Africa as a missonary. That is why I fell for the scam I didn't think that someone claming to be doing missonary work would be scamming me.
