This is a warning to all people trying to purchase pets online... Cameroon as many people that simply try to scam people. They pretend to have pets such as dogs, monkeys, horses, birds etc.in which they don't actually have.
Here is an email I received from "Kayla Murse" pretending to sell me a capuchin monkey from Cameroon.

Thank you.
I did my research and the name Fonyam Emmaunel came up on many webistes, such as this one, and Fraud Watchers. Needless to say, I discontinued all contact with this so called Kayla Murse. Please do not fall for this. I found out that shipping pets from Cameroon, is actually illegal. Do not purchase anything unless you can see it for yourself in person.
Regards.
