How long is it likely to be until the report add feature is back working ?

I normally try and keep the Norwich pets section clean of scammer adds , im worried said scammer will realise the adds cant be deleted and thus start flooding the section with adds .

I also try and help with the Belfast pet section as my ex wife 'ScamersBeware' is from that area .

I was in talks for a free husky , but my last email from weeks ago never got a reply . Maybe he kept the puppy ? . I am not from Nigeria and have never visited the country but since the husky was free i decided to get 1 sent to Nigeria, he was from Cameroon so i figured this would be ok but sadly he went silent on me ..

My last email read ...

Quote:
Hello my friend .

I contacted the airline today because my penis has fallen off , to send me the puppy to Nigeria will cost $1000 . I will need the $1000 from you before we move on , please send me $1000 using Western Union by last week , we must rush as the flight for the puppy takes off in only a decades time .

With urgency you must send me $1000 now using Western Union

The parrot add was on the London page . I only bother getting adds deleted from Belfast and Norwich .

Are all the fake adds for pets posted by just 1 man ? Or is it some kind of ring of con artists ? . With so many email accounts and so many different pets it must keep him/them very busy .

Can you get a monkey for me from your 'friend' in Plymouth ? Im willing to pay money upfront via Western Union for the delivery costs . Im sure you are a man of the bible that i can trust , right ?? Wink

I will get that $260 sent as soon as possible . Very Happy Very Happy . I think i will call my new put Bubbles ! .

Romanians aswell ? They also use Western Union ? .

I think the pet scam is really cruel as it involves someone expecting to get a pet , the buggers involved have no heart .

Right im off for a bit , have a good afternoon young sir Cool

ta

yes romanian were heavy into phone scams

i think they got for the pet scams as the tkink pet lovers are a bit soft in the head

yep no heart at all

we had a loan scammer on here upfront payment scam i told him i needed 5,000 to pay for my wifes operation without which she would die still wanted his 260 fee

occasionally you can get a bit of a chat going when you "out" them
one nigerian told me he was just getting back at whitey for years of abuse to the black man. any excuse to try and justify themselves

LMAO @ getting back at whites . And with the dirty white money he stole he gives it all to charity ... to help orphan kids right ? Laughing .

My parrot man got back to me , he lives in Aberdeen though . Sadly being a multi billionaire i have no time to travel up to Scotland to collect my talking parrots this month , as luck would have it he replied offering to ship the birds down to me , how lucky is that !!! .

I mentioned that if the parrots were any trouble i would slow roast them and feed them to Ronnie , he replied saying he was delighted i would take such excellent care of the birds Cool

I will mention you can collect the parrots for me , being a billionaire im sure you are busy for the next 2 weeks though ? I will suggest you can collect them in 3 weeks time for me .

My dog must wait 3 weeks for him tender roast parrot Crying or Very sad Crying or Very sad

There are plenty of Africa based cons online that do not feature on gumtree , some are fairly sinister and others unmoral . The "fake church" scam seems to be fairly popular with people being tricked into sending money to help support a church .

Im thinking about setting up a fake parrot zoo . 1, it may provide a steady supply of tender parrot to feed my dog . 2, it may supply a steady supply of cash donations to help "buy parrot food" ie tobacco for me Very Happy (im just joking people ... HONEST !!! ) Laughing

mmmm minky

Monkey
Monkey bushmeat is commonly consumed in tropical Africa. Monkey meat is prepared fresh in rural areas. It is also smoked to preserve it and allow it to be sent to market in the cities. A common sight along rural roads is smoked whole monkeys for sale, tales tied to heads to make carrying handles. Fresh monkey meat is often cooked in a Tomato Sauce made from tomatoes, chile peppers, and onions. Smoked monkey meat can be prepared in a Tomato-Peanut sauce: Soak the smoked meat in water, then rinse and drain it. Fry tomatoes, onions, chile pepper, in hot palm oil. Add tomato paste and the monkey meat. Simmer until all is tender. Season with salt and pepper
