Hello, I am new to all of this. I was almost scarmed by a person called Deborah Wellsford. Because of your website, I did not take any action to send money (the old saying "to good to be true) I would like to sincerly thank you for this forum. The scam i was going to get into was for an english bulldog. They are no longer useing nigeria, it is the republic of benin... this is the information that they sent me.

"Below is the payment details,kindly go ahead and visit the nearest Western Union store to make the payment in the name of my Driver.

Receiver's Name: Michael Taiwo Babatunde
Address: #10, Church Street.
City: Cotonou
Country: Benin Republic
Your text Question: My Colour
Your text Answer: Black
Amount sent: $400"

I have all the emails and I am not sure what I should do with them. Should I report them and if so where to? Please help me so that someone else would not be taken by these people again. And again THANK YOU so much for this website.

Sincerly Jeanie

Thank you for posting this information on our site! Maybe if they try this with someone else, that person will google their name or the address and will find the information that you posted and know that it is a scam.

Since the scammers are in another country there really is not much you can do to "catch" them . . . but like I said, maybe posting their info here will help prevent someone else from becoming a victim.

If any of these people call you through any sort of RELAY service, they're a scam. Trust me on this.

Thanks so much for your great interest in my lovely babies and i will be happy if you can take good care of them when they gets to you.Yes! They are from the same litter but they have not been spayed/neutured. Their is no problem by shipping them to you, they will be handle with cares and get to you safely and healthy and you will be surprise when the babies gets to you and I have forwarded your address to the shipper for the shipping arrangement and it has been registered for shipment now and the puppies are ready to leave to their forever home coming along with all paperworks.What you have to do now is to go ahead to make provision for the payment to enable me to pay the shipping agent so that the babies can be on their way home soon and gets to you by tomorrow because they have schedule the flight tonight and the babies will get to you by tomorrow morning. My babies would be arriving with AKC Registration papers, Current vaccinations; Shot record and Veterinarian examination, Health guarantee and Health certificate.


Please find below the payment information of my chaptain in the church who would be confirming the payment while i am at the airport. Just go to any Western Union Store or Grocery Store close to you and request to send Western Union.

Here is the payment information below's

Receiver's Name: Donna Wright
Address: 21, Church Street
City: Cotonou
Country: Republic of Benin
The Security Question will be: God
The Security Asnwer: Trust
Amount sent: $600.


And get back me with the MTCN number # and the sender's full information with the amount sent and the text Question? And Answer, as written on the Western union receipt so that payment can be confirmed and the babies shipped out immediately then I get back to you with the flight information and also let you the arrival time to your nearest airport tomorrow morning.

I will be looking forward for the payment information soonest.

God Bless You So Much.

What is your name?

Yes, it is very possible that the scammer is using your name, or even your address to make themselves seem more "legit".
