This is an example of the latest email i received. There are so many red flags here it's unbelievable.
Dear Sir/Ma,
I am a Veterinary Doctor From Africa
with clients all over West African countries and UK
cities, we also run many zoo in some African cities
and London towns. I have Clinics in most west
African and UK Cities and i'm based in London.
I can assure you that your pet is not
going for an experiment or going to end up in Lab. testing.
I have a client who's interested in your
lovely pet and also willing to pay me anything i
charged to bring it to his lovely home, infact he
would love it to be part of the family for
his birthday Party coming up soon, he's a pet
lover and we pay him visit every week for treatment
to all his pets. I will need to know some certain
things that gets the pet annoyed and things that gets it
aggressive.
For Adoption fee, although i will have to negociate the
Adoption fee you want me to pay. and Inrespect of
payment i have a client in the USA who he has agreed
to procure a Cashier's/Official check or USPS postal money
order for ($5,500.00US) which he's oweing me to you.
All i need to do to make payment easier and faster is
to instruct him to procure a cashier's/Official check or
USPS Postal Money Order and mail it to you on the address
and name you want on
the check or Postal money order. But i would want to
know if i can trust you to send the remainder of the
funds to my shipper via Western union Money
Transfer after deducting your Adoption fee, as soon
as the check or postal money order
get cashed so that my shipper will make arrangement
for the pick up at your location to deliver it to
the Adoptee's home, he will need this money to secure
flight tickets to North and South America to pick
all the Animal i Adopted and deliver all to thier
different homes in UK and wherever. I will like you
to mail me asap to enable me arrange payment.
Furnish me with the name you want on the check or
postal money order, your home address as in
zipcode,city,etc and your contact phone number, so I
can forward it to my client who will purchase the
check or postal money order for the payment.
All you have to do is simple, if you received the
check or USPS Postal Money order, cash it at any
cashing centres nearer to you, deduct your Adoption
fee that we aggreed upon, send the differences to my
shipper via Western union money transfer and my
shipper will come to your place and pick up the pet.
If you have any question or enquiry to make
concerning this transaction.
You can reach me on phone number +44 7031908798
please call before 6pm Britain Time
Thank you
Dr. Richard Yakes Kimberly

to forward to my client, old picture when the pet was born
