I was looking for a Maltese puppy and found this person looking for a home for thier baby Maltese. They said that they were in Maryland USA. I am in Virginia I am cutting and paste the E-mails that I have been communicating with this person. After the fist response I figured it was a scam and as you read them They get better.

I just posted and forgot to say this guys name was Larry Bullet. I am sure he changes it daily but stay away!

I as well fell for this madness. It was for a yorkie named "Lisa Baby". First red flag is that he didn't even asked where the puppy was coming. Supposedly he moved to Nigeria for a for missionary yet when he called I could understand a freaking word he said. He asked to send just $200 dollars for the dog. Funny thing was, I told him I only had a hundred and he was willing to take that. His shipper's supposed name is "Thomas Daniel." I ended up sending the $100 dollars. Later that night, I knew it was a big FRAUD and called my uncle who is a cop. His cell phone number was tracked and they froze any money grams going to a Thomas Daniel. I feel bad for others that lost so much more money than I did. However, on top of it all, I got my cell phone bill this month and receive $20 dollars in charges from this compulsive idiot texting me every five secs. Anyway, I hope this helps others. He had the same bull email everyone else has been posting. DO NOT RESPOND TO ADDS CALLED "LISA BABY YORKIE" OR YORKIES PHOTOGRAPHED IN FRONT OF TEDDY BEARS. He probably ripped those pictures off too. The sadest thing is these pigs are making so much money off us. Who needs a job when you can screw innocent people out of their hard earned money. I read a couple posts about a disable boy being taken advantage of and it literally broke my heart. I hope these people rot!

No, there is no way to get your money back. You may, however be contacted by some law enforcement person who says that they can help you....beware this is what is called a recovery scam. It is a way for the scammers to get yet more money from you. I'm sorry for your financial loss, but it is just that...a loss.

If, by chance you live in the US, you may be able to declare the loss with the IRS and have your income tax reduced. I am not terribly familiar with it though as I do no live in the US. Worth checking out.

"Ben Charlotte"

He is a real @$$hole!! He contacted me talking the same $200.00 for the shipping costs. Then he slipped up and sent me something saying that i should send $300.00 by Western Union!! I said no you said 200.00 he said oh yeah thats fine too. ( Thats when the Red Flags started to go up) I went straight to google and put in "Puppy from Nigeria to USA" ans i came across this site!! yyyayyyy no wasted moneyz!!

It's A Scam... Do Not Trust this Person.. They are supposably missionary my ass...


2009-04-07 10:23:51 - Courtney
My email from Rev Collins is the same as the west africa one. They were asking $400 for one bulldog. or $800 for both. I sent her an email back saying i will send the money as soon as she gets back with me. I didnt know about the scam until after i sent my second email and asked her to send a pic of the puppies with my name written on a piece of paper. then i googled her and found this. i got her email from JASON DUNBAR. i found him on pets4you.com.


2009-04-05 13:26:58 -
I was also scammed out of 1700.00!!! I feel so stupid! Is there anyway I can get this money back? How do we stop this from happening!!!


2009-03-31 09:36:39 -
I was also scammed by Nigerians. I inquired about a teacup yorkie that was only $250. I paid $450 and this man was still persistent in needing more money and stated that "he was a man of God and would never scam someone over a token of $250." I demanded to have my money back and he stopped speaking to me. Watch out for these scammers.

His email address was [email protected]

Don't trust him!!

Reverend Hope Collins. [email protected]
Trying to get me to send money to, believe it or not, Nigeria, for an English Bulldog. She called me 3 times from 234-703-2503 California
805-411-9653 Ohio
234-802-6018 California
I called the numbers back and it said they were non-working numbers. Watch yourself! Also Donna Hillary [email protected] gave me that womens email address.


2009-03-26 11:50:14 -
They did it to me. I lost $300. He is now going by Rev. Fred Goodman and Andy Best. I am so mad. I had no clue of this until after I sent the money and then found websites stating it was a scam. I realized it when they wanted $500 more for shipping insurance. I really hope these people get caught.

Over the last month I have been looking for a female yorkie to go along with male. After a while of browsing the internet. I contacted a breeder. He told me that I was too late and that he sold all his puppies but, that he sold two puppies to a reverend that just moved to West Africa for a missionary retreat. I contacted this reverend and she told me all I had to do was to send $400 for the shipping via moneygram for this beautiful female because she wanted to get the dog out of Africa. I went straight to the bank to send the money as soon as I could. After a few emails back and forth, she informed me that she has received the money and that she will be shipping the puppy ASAP. I get a call from the shipping company demanding more money for a shipping crate. They promised that the $300 for the shipping crate would be returned when the puppy was shipped. The shipping company then calls back about 2 hours later. They proceed to tell me that I need to send even more money ($800) for a certificate saying that they can have the puppy proceed to my home (NJ). Reluctantly, I send the money in hopes of having the puppy by the next day. About an hour goes by when the reverend calls me to let me know that she is on her way to drop off the money I sent. While on the phone with her I hear a terrible noise. I didn't think anything of it because of all things I could imagine in Africa. Another hour goes by and someone calls me from her phone to let me know that she has been in a terrible accident and that I needed to contact her relatives. (I don't know anything about this reverend or her relatives.) Another bad call after
another, I get one this morning (03/13/09) from the shipping company calling from her phone (which i thought was a little weird) He proceeds to demand for more money from her phone, or this poor puppy will be quarantined in London for five months. I sit down and think for about twenty minutes until I came to a conclusion that this was a huge scam. I thought to myself, “Why would the shipping company be calling from her phone after she just got in a terrible accident??” A huge lightbulb popped into my head. I sent over $1,100 to Africa for a scam. I am heart broken. It seemed so real. They even gave me a legit website with a tracking number (greenlandcourier.com) I tryed everything i could to get my money back. I fell into a trap that i knew was be too good to be true.
