Cameroon Scammers

I was wondering if anyone knows if there is somewhere we can report these guys to? Can anything be done about all these idiots trying to pull fast ones. I had someone trying to sell me a $140 pied ball python that is 24 months old, 127 grams, 3 feet long and feeding on adult rats. All she would need is my address and some money for shipping. I replied to her telling her to do some research before she pulls a scam or else she ends up looking like an idiot. Anyways, is there anyone we can send these email addresses/phone numbers/addresses to that we can get something done about these people?

Kevin, I'm pretty sure this is already being discussed in a thread on the General Herp forum.

Ignore them

someone needs to send them some counterfit cash or counterfit check so they can get nailed

Well you could do like i have done to them.I play with them for days then i slam them and it REALLY upsets them :8::8::8:.If you tell them you live in thier area and want to pickup the snake they will come up with some other story on why you cant pick it up.Cmon be creative and p them off :D

thank god i read this i am new to the site and had a woman from cameroon offer me unbelievable prices for some ball morphs had asked her a few questions about importing into Scotland she reasured me she had CITES papers and i had no need to do anything other than pay for my selected morphs piebald being one obv for 356 pounds using money gram as paypal and others didnt work in cameroon i have told her i know its a scam and unless she can reasure me in some way that it isnt then im not interested.THERE IS ALWAYS SOME GREEDY GIT WAITING TO EXPLOIT EVERY OPERTUNITY.THANKS AGAIN YOU SAVED ME A FEW POUND AND THE EMBARRESSMENT OF EXPLAINING TO MY OTHER HALF HOW I LOST OUR MONEY

If you have all the emails saved, you can file a case with the Feds. It is a federal offense and international trade is covered by the feds as well. Although, I wouldn't know how to do this. Great help I am here. Hah! I got one of these scambags trying to pull a fast on me too. Had an ad at Kiiji for pieds for $400 each but you have to buy in bulk (at least 10). That would have been a $4,000 take home pay for the idiots. Yeah, I'd love to shut down these suckers too. But, chances are, 500 people are already trying...

Just spread the word or take legal action.

You can list them on various sites including Fauna Classifieds with the BOI.

I always lead them on, sometimes several times a day back and forth for months at a time. I use to have an entertainment website that had a section dedicated to the conversations and their stupidity. I had a lot of free time at my old job so I figured that if they were spending so much time on me they wouldn't have as much time to scam other people. I once took on the persona of Andy Garcia in Ocean's 11, and sent the dude pictures of Andy and Courtney Cox, my wife. Over a 2 month period the scammer sent me official looking bank documents, certificates and even racy pictures of his wife in exchange for pictures of my wife, Courtney Cox and her sister Heather Grahm as Roller Girl. I even had some of them meet me at airports for flights I obviously wasn't on. :gj:

screwin with them is definately fun!! . . .. awhile back we had a scammer try and sell some balls on another forums classified section you should have seen the breeders in their havin some fun with the guy, im sure they made him feel stupid

I might be wishfull thinkin but the cameroon woman got back in touch saying he will accept payment by western union an i keep the 10 digit code he needs to recieve the money until i recieve the orderd pythons and on reciept i send him the code .he got the judicial police to seek a purchase agreement signed by the commisioner an he gonna send me this with a copy of his CITES permit IS THIS A SCAM OR IS IT LEGITAMATE he is selling piedbalds for 350 pounds albinos 300pound and clowns for 370 please help i am really tempted is it safe:taz:

If it seems too good to be true, it most often is :)

its fun screwin with them heres some emails from me to one of them in "nunavut" its a little long and you have to start from the bottom . . . enjoy

Red tailed anaconda huh :O :rolleyes:.I think the moron is smoking to much goat manure :rofl::rofl::rofl:

Now that's some funny stuff right there!

told the cameroon dude i would only pay by cheque as this would be more secure if he dont go with it i know its def a scam an then like the python guru says im gonna piss about with them an waste some of their time an test their patience thanks to all who replied and does anyone know of any ball python breeders in scotland im lookin for another yellowbelly or a piebald

Hi,

I know Royal Tartan is part of a breeding coalition that has quite a wide range of morphs between them ( I don't think their website is up and running yet though :( ).

I tell a lie - they have got it up since I was last talking to them. :D

http://www.royalgems.co.uk/ourcollection.html

I hope to have the pleasure of doing buisness with them myself this year if all follows the current plan. :ninja:

If you can't get in contact through the PM system here or the website I know they spend a lot of time on the captivebred.co.uk forum. I used to spend a lot of time there myself and will be doing so again once I get a bit more time. :D

Also Scott himself has a lot of incredible animals (check out his profile on the forums for lists ) and, of course, it has a very nice classified section. Good people. :gj:


dr del

TA much dr del will check them out:gj:

Hey everybody here's a website that I'm on you can check it out and see just how many dumb scammers are ruining peoples lives www.fraudwatchers.org you can type in cameroon pet scams there's over 70 pages with complaints including my own sorry if this is long but you can catch them by tracking down their computer IP adress and go to the police then you can threaten them and say you will pay a fine in the sum of $10,000 to the united states for false advertisment and fraud, identity theft these people are dumb they can't get a real job like normal people they think the world revolves around them they think they can get money for free

One guy was selling ball python morphs for $500 and he was selling the eggs also he told me a lavender albino ball python egg cost $80 a piebald egg cost $25 an albino egg cost $30 I called him a scam and he quickly insulted me by saying I'm poor I replyed back saying if I was poor then why in hell are you begging me to send your dumb ass money through western union? Western union does warn of scams but once you send money by western union your not going to get your money back all you can do is keep the receipt and and try to speak witht the police about it but once the money has been sent its gone now if you use money gram they will give you your money back in full

These people claim they don't have paypal when paypal is international so they have no excuse me and my cousin are going to africa anybody want me to track them down and get them in trouble just give me their ip address their names and address that's all I need these people forget that they are in africa and in africa they still stone people and kill people if somebody tells on them below are some websites these scammers are on so watch out and be careful and to the person who is really tempted don't buy into that rubbish

www.olx.com
www.vast.com
www.reptileauctions.com
Regular google searches some of the names are afungang raymond muma, williams paul, dr hillary fox, philips brown these are names these people make up they have to have at least one american make belive name or they won't be able to get money sent to them they get fake ID's and fake pictures this happened to me once never ever again cause I will rip their heads off and feed them to the wolves
