I answered an ad for two yorkshire terrier puppies need a loving home. 14.00 I recieved a reply stating they were 14 weeks old & were called Prince & Princess.
As soon as I saw their pictures I fell in love with them.
Alarm bells started to ring when I was asked for 200 to have them delivered to my door step. I was to wait until I had received "shipping" details from a company that delivers them.
On one of the e-mails with more photographs of Prince & Princess there were e-mails attached from another lady who had contacted this "gentleman" about 2 lovely Pomeranian puppies looking for a lovely home. There names Prince & Princess & the e-mail to this lady was more or less word for word to mine.
I received numerous telephone calls to tell me I had to go to Western Union to pay money to the director in Cameroon. It was rather suspicious as the dogs were supposed to be coming form Edinburgh, yet not one person spoke Scotish it was very poor English. They would not except cash on delivery. I was supposed to receive an e-mail with payment & tracking details but they did not arrive so I was given the name of the director over the telephone & told to call him. I was told I must stay indoors once I had payed the money to wait for the dogs to be delivered in about 3.5 hours.

When I tried to call all I got was a lot of music playing. The calls have been coming constantly since 8.30am until 13.00hrs when I refused to answer my phone anymore.
The other lady had given her work address & number so I contacted them to be told she had taken the morning off.
I explained that I believed we were being scammed over the puppies & asked them to contact her urgently to let her know. I gave them my number so she could contact me direct.
I have spoken to her & she has not paid any money or seen any puppies. her work have received funny phone calls all morning.
