Instead of dogs, now it's Frisian horses. Gotten three emails in one week. (I do not respond to these)

Complaint by Maelly :
These individuals are running an elaborate fraud scheme. They are in Cameroon and claim to have a puppy breeding farm.I have been conclusing the purchase of one of their puppies for several weeks. I have paid them the agreed amount and two days before I was supposed to receive the dog, I was contacted by them again and they said my puppy was stopped by the customs and that I needed to pay for puppy's vaccination in order for it to enter Great Britain. it came from the following email address ukpetcontrol@gmail.com . The vaccination was somewhere around 300$. I paid that fee.
Then I received another email from the supposed "Minister of Animal Industry" (ministry_of_animal_industry@yahoo.com) and was told that I needed a special liscence for the dog to have him flown out.Which of course I had to pay for .
By that time I realized I was being taken for a ride. I felt like such a fool! And wish I realized that before, but I guess better late than never.
I truly hope my story helps someone else to avoid the same trap.
