THIS IS A SCAM - THERE IS NO MALTESE PUPPY. warengay@yahoo.com is a well-known pet scammer located in CAMEROON AFRICA. This idiot scammer will ask interested buyers to pay for the dog's shipment, down payment, inoculations and any number of other miscellaneous fees. The victims wire money for the dogs but only get excuses for the delay. Instead, they're repeatedly asked for more money to cover additional "fees" invented by the scammer. Greedy scammers will concoct even more fees that the victim needs to pay after the dog has been supposedly shipped. BEWARE, THIS PET SCAM IS ALL OVER THE INTERNET. You can identify these idiot pet scammers from Africa because they will insist you pay by money order or wire transfer. NEVER wire funds via Western Union, MoneyGram or any other wire service -- anyone who asks you to do so is a scammer. Google “Cameroon Pet Scam” for more information.]

This isn’t the site for classified advertising. I recently had to part with my son’s dog after he joined the military. Use Craigslist under the pets section. I had over 50 responses and placed the dog in a wonderful home in Pocatello. Good luck and happy holidays, I’m sure you won’t have any trouble finding a good home for these puppies.


So, do we get the kindness of an update?

During these hungry times of unpleasant recession, when thousands of desperate folks are abandoning their pets to animal shelters (they can hardly afford to feed themselves, let alone their man’s best friends and the family mousers) did the Maltese puppies find homes?

Inquiring minds want to know.


Hi…I responded to this pos (that is, emailed the person) and the response that I just received back made me suspicious…and so I googled the email address and while I didn’t see anything that clearly pointed to this being illegitimate…my intuition says it’s a scam.

The person is supposedly based in Florida, for one thing…

Just thought I should post a warning :)


No… CRAP!?!

Why I oughta… Can you believe the nerve of some people? Actually, it;s kind of funny. How many people does the joker think he’s gonna scam out of shipment money for a free Maltese man’s best friend/pup that doesn’t really exist?

Some people. Next, Russian Brides will be offering themselves up for import and marriage.


ha ha.

I was a little suspicious that the person was just *giving away* two MALTESE pups…the things go for $1000 in many places. But I figured I have a friend who is looking into a dog and I thought it might be a nice late Christmas present…I’m on Freecycle, so giving away AKC certed dogs isn’t really surprising to me on the whole…thought it’d be worth inquiring within.

It did give me a good laugh for the day. Maybe I’ll post the response email… Ah heck, why not?

My email to him: Hi! My name is (joon) and I just saw your post on IFt.com about the Maltese puppies. Are you still looking for homes? I have a friend who after years of being in school and otherwise being on-the-go is finally settling down in the area and has wanted another dog since her mom had to give up her poodle after she left for college. She is the perfect sort of dog owner - has time for caring and would care for it very well…and while she’s never owned a maltese, I suspect strongly that her personality and their usual personality would mesh perfectly.

Thank you for your time,
(joon)

Annnnnnd…the response:

Hello ,
Nice reading from you and the interest regarding my baby puppies Maf (male) and Lulu(female).I have just two left for free adoption.they are still available for any good home.I have always wanted them to get the best of love from their next home.The decision to let them go is hard but I finally,i came to conclusion that they need a new home and want them to have just what they have always had…they have so much love to offer, if you will accept them with open arms.
They have spectacular,Stunning, Gorgeous.Fabulous Baby doll Face,short cobby body,weighs 2.32Ibs and estimated to have an additional weigh of 1.25Ibs at full grown up age, short legs and confirmation.Home raised with a very good personality.They are just the happiest little puppies you will ever see.they will make a very good family member with their very great quality,sweet and loving temperaments.they are spectacular Designer Purse Puppies to take everywhere with you and they are lover too.Loves to give lots of kisses hugs.Have always been around children and other pet and very used to being together.

They are AKC reg,current on all their recent shots and dewormed,vet checked with all their vet and registration papers available and up to date,potty,paper and crate trained.they are 08 weeks old and weighs 2..4lbs and will get an additional 1.2lbs(estimated) when fully grown.Babies will be coming alongside with all their play toys,air conditional travel crate,healths and reg papers.
As for our location ,we were located in Atlanta,Fl and just relocated to St Louis , Cameroon due a research purpose with the UNICEF branch located here and the climate condition was not favorable for my babies and i have to stay long here so What I am concern about here is your assurance on their health,good care and safety.they needs so much
love caution and stability in location.If your home is open to this darling,they will be on their way to your home and i am really hoping it happens.Recent pictures of babies are attached to this mail so that you can have a general view of their beauty and they look alike because they were from the same litter.Get back soon lets see how they gets to your home…OK
waiting for your mail in anticipation of getting a sure response on taking good care of them when they reach you site..
thanks…

Amusing. And just a little *too* eager to get rid of these pups to an unknown home….


Wow! Finally- a new twist on the classic Nigerian scam! They’ll be asking for your ID next with all the details.

The last new twist I know of before this one was targeted at music teachers. I got on one of their spam lists, and was hit for months with Nigerians who wanted a month’s lessons for their kid, who was coming over for vacation.All of them involved sending me a check and I was supposed to send back the difference. Uh-huh… with so many Nigerians vacationing in Idaho lately, I could barely wait to jump on the deals!

I was actually thinking of a reverse burn on a couple of them- getting the bad check, then getting after them for not sending enough money to cover my wasted time. All the checks that are sent are phoney-either stolen or written on bad accounts. Same goes with any money orders they offer. The problem is, once you bite, you’ll be swamped with this spam forever.


we have these maltese puppies which we are willing to give them out to a caring home,if interested in having them just email us for more details.


Yeah, I just received the same email from this gentleman. I really wanted a puppy for a long time… I just went to look up scams just to make sure that he was for real… Im glad i saw this website. His email is just like everyone else says. warengay@yahoo.com


I just saw a maltese that someone was giving away, so I thought why not. I received an email back and the person went on to say that I do not have to pay for puppy, or anything. They said that they were giving the maltese away because she did not have time for her because she was doing an internship in “CAMEROON AFRICA”. Also the add was for a male and was a different picture but she (if she is a she) sent me a different picture and was calling the maltese a female with a different name. This persons email is malcolio@yahoo.com. I knew was a scam right away but would like to warn people. This is probably the same person just different email.


YEAH WARREN GAY OR WHO THE HELL EVER HE IS SCAMMED ME I THOUGHT THIS WAS GONNA EALLY HAPPEN IF I COULD I WOULD SO HURT HIM I SENT 100 DOLLARS TO THAT NO GOOD SCAMMER AND GOT NOTHING HE EMAILED ME ACTING LIKE A WOMEN SAY THIS IS BRENDA GAY THE WIFE OF MR GAY AND HE HAS BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT AND I NEVER HEARD FROM EM AGAIN ! i kinda feel like the idiot but i never did anything like this before so i didnt know just beware of warengay@yahoo.com


Be thankful it was only 100 bucks. I don’t know why people don’t use more common sense when buying things from people they don’t know or have never met.
Don’t buy anything off the internet unless it’s from a reputable business ie: Amazon, Ebay, etc and you’re better off using either Paypal or a credit card, this way you’ll be reimbursed monies lost if you get scammed or aren’t satisfied with purchase.
I thought that was just common sense but evidently people still get taken, which is why these scams are still around.


Another thing you need to do is notify Yahoo that this guy is using their email service to scam people. They’ll shut him down and prevent him from opening up a new account under his current IP address. Sure it won’t last long, but it will be an inconvienence for him for a little while at least.


I got scammed as well, out of 600,
how can i get this man caught, or get my money back?


You won’t get your money back. Take it as a lesson learned. Don’t send anonymous people on the internet money. Use a little common sense.


We really need to just ignore anything we get on the internet and assume it’s a scam. If these people don’t make any money, they’ll eventually quit, and that’s the only way to stop them.

If you want something, search for it yourself.

Dear Friend,
It’s my pleasure reading from you. Right now I have Two Maltese Puppies which i am giving out for adoption to any lovely and caring home. It’s a male and a female and they are called Kelly and Tina Respectively.These puppies are 8 weeks old and I have been looking for a new home for these two puppies,because since i Lost my Husband and son in a Car Accident,these puppies have really been lonely at home when i am at work,so i just need someone who is ready and willing to take very good care of these puppies and who will also be ready to provide to all their needs.
But it have been really difficult for me to find a lovely home which is really willing and determined to cater for these puppies ,Actually these Maltese Puppies are vet checked and have all health their papers.They are also House Broken and have no health Defect. these puppies shall be coming along with a health Guarantee and also their playing toys.They are so lovely to Kids and they have been raised in My home.I just want to assure you that these puppies will be a good companion to your Family.
Well I am located in Cameroon from where these puppies will be shipped from,So if you are unable to come over to pick up these puppies from Cameroon, it’s my pleasure to let you know that I will be able to ship these puppies from Cameroon to your Location and you are rest assured that this shipping process will be successful because we have some Professional Pet Shipping Agency’s over here who will handle this shipping process,and also these puppies will be shipped using a Crate which will help to keep these puppies comfortable and safe during this journey.Well if you don’t mine I just wanna know some few things about the home where our puppies will be going to:

Where are you located?? Have you ever had an Maltese puppy before??Do you have a Vet or a Pet Hospital Around Your Area Where these puppies can usually be taken to for check up? Will You like to Adopt Both Puppies?? How Soon Do you want these puppies

WHAT’S YOUR REASON FOR ADOPTING THESE PUPPIES??
Below are some pictures of Kelly and Tina
