My website, Pet Friendly Hotels Pet Passports Quarantine Immigration information for Pet Travel has been represented as doing the shipping for these Cameroon folks. Some people are smart enough to email us before sending money so we can warn them of the impending scam. These scammers move around quickly and many times when I have attempted to contact them, their email address has already been taken down. They oftentimes pose as missionaries. One gal we heard from was advertising a lost dog and they said that they had found her dog, but it was in another country and she would have to pay shipping to get it back. We hear from many people who have been taken. It is very sad.

Now I understand that that scammers are misrepresenting themselves of owners of vacation rentals and collecting deposits. People show up for their vacation, and the owner is stuck with a real problem.
