It is ILLEGAL to ship a monkey into the US. so if you live in the US then it's definately a scam.

Hey all,

It really breaks my heart ( I am a Cameroonian) to read all these lines of people scammed. It is very easy to fall for scams, looking at it from outside it may seem like these victims are foolish ... no no far from that. These are people who trust and who have known trust, and who probably believe in a sane society.

It is very easy for these persons to be busted by the law ... but where is the law ... in a country where 90% of power and money is in the hands of 2% of corrupt persons. No one gives a damn, your governments dont care because they are playing ball with these corrupt leaders and occassionally they do like they care. They are these same corrupt leaders who organize these scams and hide the persons. It is not an excuse that a govvernment should ignore crime because the victimds were not vigilant. We all need to rise against corruption in Africa.

I am ashamed of what has become of Cameroon ... the cradle of our fathers ... and I will never forgive our fathers who let this mess cook.

As long as the law is corrupt in CAmeroon, these people will keep scamming, with new tricks on new people. I know all of you guys are hurt and bitter, but the way forward is to keep fighting, keep talking against all forms of corruption in Cameroon, to anyone at anytime ... above all do not be prejudiced against Cameroonian majority of us are still godd though oppressed people.

The problem in the international world is the actions of those few scamsters in Cameroon (and Nigera) ruin the reputation for all people of Cameroon in the eyes fo the world.

With the government of Cameroon allowing such fraud to be perpetrated from their country will prevent the development of Cameroon in the world or internet marketplaces.

They have simply put a halt to the advancement of their country. Certainly the majority of the people of Cameroon are good people, yet the few are making sure the world won't see them.

If they actually had an monkey and actually sent it to you...do you suppose the U.S. Customs Service would arrest you for violating the U.S. Import laws?

IF ANYONE OUT THERE IS ALSO LOOKING TO BUY A MACAW, THEN WATCH OUT FOR SCAMS IN CAMEROON AS WELL. I WAS SCAMED OUT OF NEARLY $1200.00. I WAS LOOKING TO PURCHASE A BLUE AND GOLD MACAW FOR MY GIRLFRIEND FOR HER BIRTHDAY. I MET A WOMEN FROM CAMEROON NAMED ANN MARIE. SHE CLAIMED THAT SHE COULD NO LONGER TAKE CARE OF THE BIRD AND WANTED IT TO GO TO A GOOD HOME AND NOT TO THE LOCAL ZOO. SHE CLAIMED THAT THE LOCAL ZOOS IN CAMEROON MISTREATED THE ANIMALS. I TALKED TO HER ONLINE AND EXCHANGED PHONE CALLS WITH THIS WOMEN FOR ABOUT A MONTH BEFORE SENDING HER ANY MONEY.SHE WAS VERY CONVINCING.ANYWAYS SHE ASKED FOR $500.00 THE SHIPING COSTS. I RECIVED AN EMAIL AND A PHONE NUMBER FROM A FAKE AIRLINE CLAIMING TO BE IN PARIS FRANCE. THEY SAID THE BIRD HAD ARRIVED BUT I WOULD HAVE TO PURCHASE A HUMIDITY CARGO CRATE IN ORDER TO SHIP THE BIRD FROM PARIS TO THE UNITED STATES.AFTER I SENT THE $200.00 FOR THAT I RECEIVED ANOTHER EMAIL SAYING THAT THE AIRLINES HAD SENT THE BIRD BACK TO CAMEROON TO QUARINTINE AND THAT I WAOULD HAVE TO SEND ANOTHER$500.00 TO PAY FOR THE QUARINTINE COSTS. LIKE A DUMBASS I SENT THE ALL THE MONEY WESTERN UNION AND OF COURSE THEIR IS NO WAY TO TRACE IT. NEEDLESS TO SAY I HAVE STILL NOT RECEIVED MY PET BIRD. I GUESS ITS A GOOD THING THAT I AM NOT HOLDING MY BREATH. THE BAD THING ABOUT THIS SCAM IS THAT IT SEEMED SO CONVINCING. SHE SENT ME DOZENS OF PICTURES OF THE BIRD. WHEN WE TALKED OVER THE PHONE YOU COULD EVEN HEAR THE BIRD TALKING AND SQUAKING IN THE BACKGROUND. BECAREFULL PEOPLE, PLEASE UNDERSTAND THAT THESE PEOPLE ARE PROFESSIONAL SCAM ARTISTS AND WILL GO TO GREAT LINKS TO GET YOU TO BELIVE THEM AND SEND THEM MONEY. I AGREE WITH THE ABOVE STATEMENT WHOLE HEARTEDLY NOTHING GOOD IS GOING TO COME FROM CAMEROON.IF YOU PLAN ON SENDING MONEY OVER THERE, YOU MIGHT AS WELL THROW YOUR MONEY ON THE GROUND AND SET FIRE TO IT.YOUR PROBABLY BETTER OFF, AT LEAST YOU CAN SEE WHERE YOUR MONEY WENT. IN SHORT IM GONNA END THIS BY SAYING SCREW YOU CAMEROON, I HOPE ALL OF YOU SCAM ARTISTS OVER THERE STEALING HARD WORKING PEOPLES MONEY DIE A HORRIBLE PAINFULL AIDS FILLED DEATH.

There are no pets, be it animals, birds or reptiles exported from Cameroon, NONE, only "pretend" pets.

These thieves don't have any pets, and they will ask you to pay various fees for nothing.

Do a Google search of.... cameroon pet export

you'll see hundreds if not thousands of examples.

and for God's sake, don't ever use Western Union or Money Gram to transfer money to a stranger.

The only reason I was hoping to get this Marmoset was the fact they stated they were in the US. I even got a US phone number; that is never answered. Same as all above, send us money and we'll send you Monkey. Pfft. When you tell them COD, they get angry. She/He sent me two pictures of the Marmosets, when viewing them I notited in the Meta Data that the pictures were taken 3 and 4 years ago. She/He was very upset when I asked about that. Supposedly sent donation to Rev Father Paul in Cameroon. Yeah, right. Check out the first email in case it looks like something you are sent.

Monkeys cannot be shipped into the United States. I tried to bring one back from Central America and went through customs and talked to everyone about this only to learn that Monkeys cannot just be brought into the country. So, if you see advert's with monkeys for sale out of the United States... Forget it!

I was just recently scammed by a man named Jason Brown in Cameroon. He used the web address jasonbrown_50@yahoo.com. He answered my add at terrificpet.com. I was looking for a black male pug, and he so happened to have one. He said he had moved to Cameroon from the USA, and the dog could not with stand the heat. When I e-mailed him back, and asked him how much he wanted for the dog, he said nothing just $110 for the shipping. He got my full address and told me that as soon as I sent him the money via western Union, he would take the dog to the airport. I refused and told him that I would have to pay the airport not him directly. The next business day, people from Cameroon, supposedly the shipping agency was calling me woundering why I hadn't responded to there e-mails. I said that I didn't recieve it, but I would watch for another one. Well I got the e-mail. The address was airfrance_airlines . It had the airfrance airlines letter head, and it all seemed real. They said that I needed to go to my nearest Western Union and send them the $110 shipping charge, and they would ship my pug out first thing. So dumby me went to my nearest Western Union and sent them the money. The test question was:Where do you live?

Answer was: Here

I finally heard back from them a few hours later, saying that they didn't realize that the sender hadn't paid for insurance. The insurance was fully refundable upon delivery. The charge was as additional $95, and when they talked to Jason Brown he said that I would take care of it. This was my first red flag, since I didn't realize their were so many others. I told them to forget it that I wanted my money back and that I would be turning them into the proper authorities. I have not heard back from them since. Oh yeah the name I sent the money to via Western Union was:Atoh Philip Taku

Watch out for these people.

Sherry

Don't you get it??? There ARE NO MONKEYS. You cannot import Monkeys. IT is all a scam to take your hard earned money!

Follow this link to see a photo of a pet monkey. You cannot buy this monkey, though you can certainly visit him... in Cartenga, Colombia.

I need to know if anyone has been scammed by a man from Cameroon with monkeys for sale. He is from Victoria, Cameroon and his name is, NDIFOR CLAUDE NDIFOR. I was going to buy this monkey from him, and then i started reading up on the scams and now i dont know. I have always wanted a monkey and he was going to give me a good price. Someone please let me know if you know anything. E-mail me at flipflop1715@yahoo.com. Thanks!

Reply #73 Bubba from deep in your mind (Contact Member) -

It is not the names or emails. You simply cannot buy a monkey from Cameroon or anywhere else for that matter.

If you buy a "pet" and pay for it with Western Union you are not going to get an animal. You may get excuses, problems and urugent needs to send more money.

You will never see a furry creature or your money again.

If someone were to actually send you a monkey you would be arrested by the U.S. Customs Service when it arrived in the USA.

These people are not stupid, they newest addition to the scam is adding a great amount of detail. Wardrobe for the monkeys and mention of the monkey only going to a good home. But notice they never ask any questions about you or the home you will provide for the monkeys.

Customs in Canada clearly states that import of monkeys for any reason is prohibited. Do not fall for this scam no matter how honest the emails appear. They have had plenty of practice and are very good at scamming.
