I FOUND A BOXER PUP ON A PET WEB SITE THAT A WAS FOR FREE. I ONLY HAD TO PAY FOR THE SHIPMENT. THE MAN, JONATHAN COLE FROM PORTLAND OREGAN, WAS A BANKER AND COULD NOT KEEP HER SINCE HIS APARTMENT DID NOT ALLOW PETS. HE HAD JUST RELOCATED.

WELL, I WAS A RETIRED BANKER AND KNOW THE HOURS AND HAD THE TIME TO DEVOTE TO THIS LOVELY ANIMAL. I EMAILED JONATHAN COLE, GAVE HIM MY PHONE NUMBER AND TOLD HIM TO CALL ME. I WOULD PAY FOR A COMMERCIAL AIRLINES TO HAVE HER TRANSPORTED TO ORANGE COUNTY AIRPORT OR LONG BEACH AIRPORT. LAX IS TOO CONJECTED. I RECEIVED AN EMAIL FROM "JONATIONA COLE'" WHO SAID HE WAS SENDING HER BY WAS OF AIRPET TRANSPORTATION SERVICES.

THE NEXT DAY I RECEIVE AND EMAIL FROM AIRPET TELLING ME TO WIRE 285.00 TO AN ACCOUT BY WAY OF WESTERN UNION TO CAMEROON. THEN I RECEIVE A PHONE CALL FROM A REPRESENTATIVE OF THIS AIRPET SEVICES, WHO COULD HARDLY SPEAK ENGLISH. I ASKED FOR A NUMBER AND THAT I WOULD CALL HIM BACK. HE SAID TO EMAIL HIM.

I EMAILED JONATHAN COLE AND AIRPET SERVICES AND LET THEM BOTH KNOW THAT MY JOB AS A BANKER WAS DEALING WITH FRAUDLULENT ACCOUNTS AND THAT BEFORE I DID ANYTHING ELSE I WAS CALLING A DETECTIVE FRIEND OF MINE.

THAT IF THIS WAS A PROFESSIONAL AND LEGAL COMPANY AND NOT A SCAM, THEY WOULD TAKE VISA, MASTERCHARGE OR AMERICAN EXPRESS OR DEBIT CARD. I WILL NOT DO BUSINESS WITH ANYONE THAT WILL NOT GIVE ME A PHONE NUMBER THAT I CAN CONTACT THEM AND DOES NOT HAVE AN ACCOUNT WITH A LEGITIMATE BANK IN THE UNITED STATES THAT I CAN VERIFY.

I INTEND TO PURSUE THIS FURTHER. I HAVE SAVED ALL MY EMAIL FROM THESE PEOPLE.
