Help I just got scammed!

[littlegreenicon]

Although I'm not sure what to do as he hasnt requested any money until the puppy arrives at my door!

The ad was posted in Perth though he says he is in Adelaide sending it over.

I was told it is being sent by the company:
solidaritypetexpress.com
Which was I saw too late on here is a fake company!

So since he has asked me to wait until I receive the puppy until I pay him, what do I watch out for and do?

There is no money expected to be paid by me to this company, the emails clearly state he has already paid for the delivery by then.

I am so confused! I know this is a scam but I still dont know what is going on?

There is supposed to be someone bringing it to me tonight at 9pm with some papers and change of ownership?

'WE SHALL BE ARRIVING AT YOUR LOCATION AT ABOUT 9-PM IN THE NIGHT OK. SO WE WILL LIKE YOU TO BE IN THE HOUSE AT OUR ARRIVAL SO YOU CAN SIGN THE CHANGE OF OWNERSHIP DOCUMENT AND SOME OTHER PAPERS'

The fake company just sent me that confirmation.

What the hell is going on? And what do I do now?

@littlegreenicon, It could be a good idea to have a couple of heavies around when he calls! And have the phone number handy for the local cops.

And IF anyone does call, take a note of their car rego number. And any other details you can.

I seriously doubt that he will give you the animal, but may demand money for sudden charges that have arisen? the main thing is to protect yourself, I do not like the sound of this deal at all!

You need to take care. They MAY not bring the animal, but ask for payment for the "CHANGE OF OWNERSHIP DOCUMENT" I have grave doubts about ANY transport type company working at nine PM in Perth.

It maybe an idea to call your local police and ask their advice.
The whole things feels wrong!

@littlegreenicon. What type of animal is this? Is it a common animal or a "rare" or special one ? And did you receive any emails from him that we can see? thanks.

Hello Littlegreenicon,

Solidaritypetexpress.com is a scam. The website belongs to a known Cameroon gang linked to Assoua Achille Brice Eteki and is first mentioned here on page 23.

I strongly urge you to cease all contact with these criminals immediately. The animal doesn't exist and any money you send them will be lost.

I should add that the credit card phishing forms on this site is already dead....just as the website itself should be very soon.

I just read this thread and I noticed the fast work in having them shut down good job folks. Just another small point to be aware of these sites mentioned are yola and wu fu free web site builder and a free form site. Not always a red flag but when coupled with other facts its a good point to notice. Lets face it these scammers want to make as much as possible so a site thats free is cheaper then a paid one. That said when the little bells start ringing its just another log on the fire. Kudos to those who worked on this.
