HAPPY TRAILS

A hearty Scam-o-welcome to the "Adams" family, a multiple personality from Queensland who single(?) handedly engaged a pack of Lads.


Hi Guys,

I'm sending you the correspondence between myself and someone who tried to pull a scam on my friend. She is a 66 year old lady from Western Australia.
I'm on the East Coast of Australia in Queensland. I've used non de plums in my emails, and I'll change my friends name and address to protect her...

It started when my friend Gerty advertised on a website for dog fanciers, to buy a 6 berth dog trailer. Someone responded to her ad with pictures of a very nice looking trailer, just what she was looking for. She forwarded the photos to me to have a look at and I said I thought it was a great trailer and a great price, to go ahead and buy it.

The second email she got from the seller had some 'strange' English in it and she made the comment that she wondered what nationality they were? It was a very short email, and I passed it off as them probably just being 'new Australians'.

Then after negotiations between her and them, they finally sent her an 'invoice' of sorts. Gerty forwarded this to me as well, as she will often ask my advice about things and this is when it clicked for me. Not only was it typical 'Lads Language', it referred to such things as 'rabies vaccines' and an 'ISO number' which to any dog breeder, means a microchip used for identification. I knew the invoice was just a collection of terms they had found relating to dogs.

I phoned her immediately and told her not to send them any money, and yes they were asking to be paid with Western Union, and I asked her permission to take over negotiations with them, sending her off to look after her sister who just had a heart attack. Gerty steps aside.

Lou Adams
Hello Pet Carrier,

I regret to inform you that Gerty has had to leave suddenly for a family emergency. Unfortunately her sister has a jammed heart. I, Lou Adams, a friend of hers will be handling the payment and delivery of the dog trailer from Mr. Jeff. Since your phone lines are down at this time, can you please email me details for the deposit with Moneygram please or other instructions for the deposit please.

Happy Days, Lou Adams
Lou Adams
Dear Mr. Jeff,
I am Lou Adams, a friend of Gerty who is buying your dog trailer. Unfortunately she has had to leave suddenly to be with her sister who has had a problem with her heart. I will try to complete the transaction for her so that we can complete the deal without too much trouble for you. Since you are in Alice Springs, I can get my brother to come and pay you cash for the trailer. My brother Tim works in Alice Springs. If you can give me your address I can have him deliver the money for both the trailer and the shipping to Perth. Or you can give me your phone number and he can phone you about the arrangements for delivery.

Happy Days, Lou Adams
No salutations what so ever--he must be a busy man. The 'Surprise Package' now comes into it.
Frank Jeff
Sorry i'm having a busy schedule.Couldn't get back to you much earlier.Get back to me when you have completed.I have included a surprise package for her when she receives the trailer.I'm very busy now.No problem,just proceed with the initial arrangements directly with the delivery service. Thanks.

Lou Adams
Dear Carrier,

How do I go about making the payments? Where is Cameroon? Are there account numbers I should use? Do I mail 3 payments to you? Who to I pay the $550 shipping fee to. A rabies vaccine and ISO number was mentioned before, is there also a puppy coming with the trailer? Do I pick the puppy up in Perth also? What is his name, Gerty did not tell me anything about expecting a puppy. I will have to buy food ready for his arrival. Will he be coming inside the trailer?

Thanks, Lou
So now the purchase of a dog trailer comes complete with it's own inhabitants? Oh Boy, I just love puppies!!
Au Pet Courier
Just follow these instructions.There are no account numbers to be used since these are transactions less than $10000.00
Go to any moneygram office,take a sender's form, fill it,then address all the payments(shipping fees inclusive) in a series of 3 or 4 installements to the address given to you.
You shall be requested a test question and answer.Let your test question be where do you live?and let the answer be Perth.Once completed,get back to us asap with the various series of 8digits confirmation numbers,and the sender's full names.Cameroon is our Sub Regional Office for Australia,Asia and Africa.it's known at moneygram,so you got nothing to be worried about it's location.You just got less than an hour to confirm your payments and departure time,so you need to be fast.
The puppy is meant to be a Surprise from Mr jeff.
Old Lou is going a bit Roy Rogers here having changed happy days to happy Trails.
Lou Adams
Dear Pet Carrier,
Ok I see. I have to go to the office of the momeygram people. I am very old and do not drive very fast and it will take me at least 6 hours to drive to the office. I will not make it before they close. We will just have to pay the extra day of $50 to store the trailer. What about the puppy? Where will he stay for the extra night?

I have offered Mr. Jeff that my brother works in Alice Spring and will be able to deliver cash to you or him if you give me the address. That might be a quicker way? Tell me what you think. He could also take delivery of the puppy so he does not be hungry tonight.

Happy Trails, Lou
Au Pet Courier
There's no problem.The best thing for you to do is to pay to the nearest Western Union Office.
Lou Adams
Dear Pet Carrier,

The nearest Western Union would be in the same town about 6 hours away. I'm sorry I'm not very good at international things of business, I'm an old lady from the remote countryside of Italy and we never did sucha things when I was there. I will set off in the early morning for town.

What should I get to feed the puppy. Does he have a name? Is it a girl or a boy?

Happy trails, Lou
Au Pet Courier
I care for the interest of the puppy.That is why i want to make sure he travels safely.It's a Boy.Our last option will be for you to pay the money directly online at www.westernunion.com.au.all you shall need to do is call them to confirm your payments.
I believe this will be the best option for you,so that you will not have to travel all that far to do the transfer.
Thanks
Lou Adams
Dear Per Carrier,

You are so kind to help out an old lady. I am not very good on the computer, so far have only learned to make emails. I phoned my bank and they said I must come in and set up the account to make online transactions, then I will be able to pay the money online to Westernunion.com. I will do that the first thing in the morning.

We are having a huge electric storm now and I must shut down the computer as I have been told the current can blow it up. I will talk to you tomorrow after I have been to the bank.

Happy trails, Lou
Au Pet Courier
There is no problem.We shall take good care of the puppy and the trailer.Get back to us when you are over with the payments,so that we could get through with the delivery.

Dear Pet Carrier,

I have just got back from town where I visited my bank. Unfortunately they do not offer me on line banking facility because they are an old fashioned bank. But because they have a sub branch in Alice Springs they have made the funds available there and they can be either picked up by your agent from the branch, delivered to you by one of their workers or my brother can deliver the money to you in person. Your agent will need to identify himself to the sub branch and he will be given cash. Otherwise just give me your address and I will have my brother drop by with cash. This will be the fastest way. Sorry for the trouble.

Please tell me how long the delivery will take after you have the funds?

Happy Trails, Lou
Au Pet Courier
Dear Customer, We are sorry to inform you that our company's accounting policy regulation stipulates that all funds are directly paid to our head office.This is to hamonise the company's financial transactions worldwide.
we are sorry we wouldn't be able to accept any payments except it's paid directly to our competent bodies.All you need to do is to withdraw the money from your bank,and make the payments in a series of $999.99 directly to the nearest Western Union office.
we advise you to go back and address the payments to the apprioprate bodies.
Thanks
Au Pet Courier
Dear Customer,
As per your request,the delivery will be 17 hours after payments are confirmed.So,you still got some time before the banks closes.
Thanks
They might begin to question Lou's mental health here.
Lou Adams
Ok, I can do this on Saturday as I have to go to the Dr. tomorrow. It's nearly 6 hours to the town with these services so there is not enough time to do both in one day and I cannot miss my doctor's appointment because if I don't have my needle I will go off my rocker. This would not be fun for people around me, and dangerous.

Why can't I just make one deposit for the full amount? What is the exact full amount at this time?

Happy Trails, Lou
Au Pet Courier
Dear Customer,
The full amount as of now is $3600 shipping and storage fees inclusive.Because of the Australian accounting council regulation policy on money transfer,the maximum money which can be tranfered in a series is $999.99.To be in comfirmity with the financial regulations of the country,we request your respect these laws and regulations.That is why the payments has to be in a series of $999.99 maximum.
We wouldn't advise you to risk your health,but greatly wish you could travel and make the payments by this evening if your bank closes after 6pm.
Thanks
Lou Adams
As I have just said in the last email sent, there is no time to drive 6 hours today before they close and tomorrow is the doctor so it will have to be Saturday.

Will the puppy be ok for this long?

When do you want the delivery address in Perth?

Thanks Lou
Au Pet Courier
As for the puppy's health,you don't nothing to be worried about because he is being taken very good care of by our specialist.
As soon as the delivery address in Perth is available,then you could forward it to us so that it can be registered.we wish you a happy stay with us,while hoping to hear from you on Saturday when you must have been over with the payments.
Thanks
Lou Adams
Dear Pet Courier,

I need to ask you to clarify something for me, being quite unequivocally and elder and also unjustly accused of being off my rocker at times, just before sending the funds. The RTA of NSW & Qld TD and the AUST DPI within the rights of the QMRAS tells me that the registration of the trailer is not in the name of Jeff Frank nor is it in the name of the Au Pet Courier? Do you hold vital consumption on said trailer, and are you able to transfer deed of sale, to new owner, on the behalf of some other unencumbered previous owner? It's very important that you are able to answer this question, before my bank will release funds to Western Union tomorrow. I have this money for my friend, and I am very anxious to complete sale and get the trailer dispatched to Perth as soon as possible. I plan to leave at dawn's crack, so please be prompt.

Happy Trails, Lou Adams (Louisa Mortadella) I was a Mortadella before I married an Adams, then I shortened Louisa to Lou---hope you like it.
vital consumption? Who knows!
Is this actually some sort of 'kindness' they are showing the old girl now?
Au Pet Courier
Dear Mrs Lou,
You have nothing to be worried about.The trailer has all it papers,and will come along with them.Yes, we do hold vital consumption on the trailer.The transfer of deeds of sale to new owner isn't any problem because once the payments are done and confirmed,the trailer will be dispatched the her new owner's name.We belief they are of bad faith,making such allegations.They are just trying to unjustly accuse you,and make you beleive you are out of your senses.
Mrs Lou,just be firm with your decision tomorrow,and have the money transfered.Don't let people take advantage of your illness to make you beleive you are not reasonfull or make false allegations about you.Be rest assured that the trailer is duely registered and is ready to be dispatched to Perth as soon as the payments are receive at our Sub regional office.
For this reason,we will simplify the payment procedues for you.As for tomorrow ,your total billing will be $3700.You shall simply make 3 payments of $950 each and a 4 payment of $850 to western union.This will sum up to $3700.Once completed,get back to us with the payment details and various 10digits confirmation numbers.We shall advise you to send us payments details while in town,so that in case of any problems,corrections should be made immediately.
It has always been our constant pleasure helping you.Just be firm with your decision tomorrow when transfering the money, so that your bank shouldn't take advantage over your health situation to make wrong allegations about you.We believe you equally deserves all the respect and attention since you have always proven to be very reasonable with us.
We wish you the best for tomorrow,hoping to hear from you as soon as the payments are done.
Thanks,

Lou eats some bad eggs and bites the dust and her sister takes over.
Christina Adams
Dear Sir,

This is Christina, Louisa's sister. I have only just arrived home from going to town with my sister. Yesterday on our way to the Western Union office we stopped for lunch and bought some egg sandwiches and I had the beef sandwiches. The egg sandwiches had gone off and my sister Louisa has eaten them and they made her very sick. By the time we reached town, she was vomiting and having stomach cramps so bad I found the nearest hospital for her.

They admitted her and the lab technician found the egg sandwich to contain a very bad bacterial contaminant, Salmonella. Louisa is gravely ill with this Salmonella. Because of her age, they say it will be very hard on her. She may even die from it as she is still unconscious. I am very upset.

I don't know how to go about completing the transaction on the trailer for her. I can only hope she recovers in a couple of days and I will be able to drive back to town and pick her up and she will be well enough to make the deposit then.

Don't worry if you have to ad more storage fees on the trailer to hold it for them, as Gerty left over $10,000 with Louisa for the trailer and anything else that might be needed while she was away.

Louisa was going to ask you what breed of puppy is coming because she wants to buy the right size bed for him before he arrives. Please let me know so I can tell her.

Louisa would be sorry to think she caused you any incontinence, I am sure. I apologise for her. I pray for her recovery because the ground is so hard from the drought, we will need dynamite to dig her grave. I have never used dynamite but I guess old dogs do learn new tricks. I only pray I do not have to learn new tricks.

God bless all of us.

Thank you, Christina
Au Pet Courier
Dear Christina,
On behalf of our services,please extend our condolenses to Mrs Louisa.We do regret what is happening to her,and do hope she recovers promptly.As per your request,we shall keep the trailer for sometime.As for tomorrow the total billing will be $3800.
Please advise us if you will like to complete the deposite on her behalf,so that we could simply give you the procedure and directives since it's very easy.This will enable you from spending more money.As for the puppy,it's an English bulldog breed.Please,this was meant to be a surprise,so don't let many people know about it because it might seize to be one when it finally arrives.
Thanks
Now Christina has hit the bottle.
Christina Adams
Dear Au Pet Courier, thank God you're here.

It is with great relief of the puffer value, that I received your letter just now, as I have been inside myself, outside myself and beside myself with worry over Louisa, my dear little sister. God bless her. I pray Rove can bless her too.

Just minutes ago, the hospital phoned, to tell me there has been no change to Louisa, but also to say that this is rather good for her, at least she has not gone dead. Small things sometimes happen to good people and other times, and sometimes good things happen to small people and to other people if they have the faith of Rove Live.

Thank you so very much for sending your condolences, that means so much to me, since I'm left here on my own to look after my sister, who is looking after the 'things' for a friend, who has gone to look after her sister, who has had a heart attack. Quite frankly, I'm a bit pissed off, as they have left me in this big house, with lots of cash, but it's so far from freaking anywhere, I can't even get a bottle of scotch delivered within 6 hours, gladly that was solved. I now have amplitty of bottles of Scotch--anality variety, and some Irish whiskers, of the viginal varity.

Oh, Oh an English Bulldog would please Louisa's friend Gerty, to the nines of time in the time square in London many times over. I promise I will not tell. I'm very good at keeping secrets, I only ever tell one person at a time. Bob will get everything set up at Homer to make the little boy bulldog happy. We can't wait for his arrival. I'm jumping up and down, and nearly peeing meself over the thought. Of course, a lot of that has to do with my age. An old person should be able to be happy without peeing their pants, but God does not give us the good bladders. She gives them to the young persons.

I know I'm asking things difficult for you now, but British Bulldogs, having stipulated veterinary regulations, for import and sale to within Austraile, do need X rey certification, and any dogs bred within Australia, need same MRI films and Zactitulated X rays because the breed seems to enjoy the company of the much maligned ferret, much to breeders disgust, but they just can't seem to resist cuddling and snoozling the ferret. It might be a problem for the breeders but not for us, we are so happy to be getting a Bulldog. So, is the puppy coming with Zactiulated X ray films??? Please let me know as any puppy being subjected to the
Zactiulated X ray films is also being subjected to the Australian Brain Worm, by accident. I know the X rays are expensive, so please permit me to pay for them.
The worm transposes zionsepticaly within the X raY and can cause shooting poos in the new puppy and usually, the poo happens before the diagnoses. If we know now, we can be ready for it. Nobody loves shooting poos.

Since we have enough shitting things on this farm, we do not need a new dog that also shits. So, does your information state that the new puppy and the trailer will not have shooting poos due to the brain worm? We would hate to think that the trailer could possibly be infested with the worm, oh mamma mia, should sucha thing happen.

I'm doing the best I can, I'm not a business lady, but trying to be hard and just.

What did you mean by the wording, " to be a surprise, so don't let many people know about it because it might seize to be one when it finally arrives.
Thanks???

Does this mean the puppy is in any kind of danger???

I pray not, Allah will punish those that hurt animals. Trust me.

Happy trails, Christina
So after laying the BS on a bit heavy, I have not heard from them again.......yet!
I've had a lot of fun and as you have said, that's what it's all about. There has been a bit of talk on the dog forums about someone selling British Bulldogs from Alice Springs, of course they don't exist, so maybe I kept this guy busy for a week, chasing bigger game, and some puppy buyer has kept his money this week.
Great site BTW. Cheers
I only had to wait a day or so for it to all start up again.
Christina Adams
Hello Au Pet Courier,
I am re-sending this email because I have not heard from you, and I also got an email from the internet server telling me that your email was undeliverable for some reason I did not understand. I hope you get this.

Christina
Au Pet Courier
Hello Christina,
Thanks for your messages.The problem is just that we are very solicitated all this while ,and didn't have enough time to reply to your messages in Time.We do apologise for that.We are happy Mrs Louisa,is now out of danger.Please advise us on when possible she can be discharged from the hospital.
Extend are greetings to her,as we readily awaits her full recovery.As for the puppy,he is well taken care of by our vet doctor,so you got notting to worry about.He is of no danger.We just wanted him to be a surprise.Please also advise us on when it's possible for us to expect the payments,so that we could get everything ready before time,as well as get ready your total billing.
Thanks
Looks like I still have them. Christina puts on offer a little deal of her own on the side
Christina Adams
Dear Thanks, Au Pet Courier and Frank Jeffs,

I am so glad you got my emails. Finally. I'm so sorry you have been over solicitated, nothing could be worsem I have been down that road meself. Always, someone wants to over sollicatite me, and I get very angry. I have some very bad newsm verry bad, very bad, Louisa has died. I can hardly believe that her life has been taken over a freaking egg sanger!!! I am again, inside meself, against meself, ontop of meself, and over the top and can't stop crying for my sister. Wish I had a bloke to come and sort me out. I do have a boyfriend, but he is not interested in helping out old ladies, he is a real 'little boy's man'.

I'm afraid the next couple of days will have to be spent with the task of burying me sister, bugga. I will have to get dynamite and that scares the hell out of me. Bugga!. I hated her!! Well, I did use it once, but the amount of guts that flew thru the air-----was not pretty. Anyway, it has to be done, since if we leave Louisa above ground, it will attract the Dingoes, and that is worse than dynamite, and you must have heard the storey about the dingo that took the baby?? Please let me know if you have heard this???

Once she is in the ground, or not, there is no reason, that you can't send me a new "invoice for payment" MY new friends, could you possibly send a new invoice. stating a payment of $20,00.00?? We could divide the difference???

I know I'm an old drunk. but me spark has not been snuibed out yet Do you want to share, and do yu want to?

With love, and wishingyou happy tails Christina
A quick follow up email from Christina, she still thinks the puppy is being imported.
Christina Adams
So sorry, but with all me worries, I did not ask about the puppy. You have not told me yet, if he has been thru the Zictulated X ray program? My worries now, are beyond this. I trust you have taken care of everything, including the poo shooting problem, should he arrive in Australia with this. Please don't let me be responsible for this, because I'm responsible for nothing and yet, everything.
Do we have a deal?
Au Pet Courier
Hello Christina,
Yes we have a deal.Please advise us on when soon can Mrs Louisa fully recover,and who soon do you think she can be discharged from the Hospital?Please also inquire from her when does she think can be appriopriate for her to make the payments.Would appreciate if you could provide an answer to all these questions.
Thanks
Christina Adams

Dear Au Pet Courier,

I'm to sad to continue, I will hand the whole thing over to my brother. We did get some western union money order things and my brother Anthony Clay Diggs now has them. I think he got 5 of them for $950 each because by the time he gets back to Alice Springs we will have insured more storage charges, it is ok, we could not help things.

Your email is too slow getting to you from me, maybe because Clay also lives in Alice, his will get to your office quicker. He will make arrangements to drop into your office and deliver them to you so they do not get any more delayed. He left to fly home last night and he will contact you by his email as soon as he is up this morning. He is very reliable man and will take the trailer at the time.

Thanks for all your patients, Christina
Here is a little note Frank Jeff, the so called owner of trailer, slipped to Gerty out of desperation. He didn't even sign his name, wonder if he knows if he is Martha or Arthur?
Frank Jeff
Hello gerty.
I still haven't heard from the delivery service.It seem the person you assigned for the payments is dead.Will like to know what next?The trailer is still with the delivery service.
thanks

Dear old Christina is back on the trail of the booze shop. (I do hope poor old brother Clay doesn't injure his towing balls with this trailer.)
Christina Adams
Dear Miss Gold,

I'm sorry you didn't rightly understand my last email. I'm not the best shape since the dead of my sister. I wish much Scotch Whicky all the time.

I phoned my brother and I'm sorry he has been such a lazy arse and didn't contact you when he returned home as soon as he should have. He was born after our family moved here, to our mother's second husband, Paul Diggs, and is a typical fair dunkum shazza chaser, never getting down to business, always chasing skirt. He thinks he is some sort of down under Magnum P. O. or something, but if you look at him, he is more like Max Clinger.

He assures me he would email you straight after we got off the phone. We did buy some money orders for you, he has them. He is reliable man and will deliver them to your office. He also has towing balls and will be able to take delivery of the trailer himself. Also the puppy, how is the puppy?

Yours, on the happy trail to the bottle O, Christina
Au Pet Courier
Dear Miss Christina,
Hope the money orders where made to the address given to you.
Thanks.
In comes brother Clay Diggs to the rescue. The phone number is the Alice Springs branch of the Australian Federal Police.

Dear Au Pet Courier
My sister has asked me pay for her friend's trailer. Please give me your address so I can call in person with the money orders. I live and work in Alice Springs. Phone me on 08 8981 1044

Cheers Clay Diggs
Because this phoney name appeared in the header, he writes back to Lara, not Clay.
Au Pet Courier
Dear Lara Collie,
Our landlines are presently under maintainance,so can easily get to us but via emails for now,until the lines are re-esblished.If you have made the 5 payments already,then get back to us asap with their various 10digits confirmation numbers,full sender's names and other payment details, so that we can send then to our head office for verification.Once this is confirmed,you shall be call upon to report to our office and pick up the trailer if you wish ,or confirm its departure.Please it should be noted that we are presently undergoing a financial audit supervision,so payments are temporaily suspended at our branch office here,and made directly to our sub regional office for now.I repeat,No payments are made directly to our office until the audit process gets over. Due to the numerous emails we are receiving because of this breakdown in our landlines,we pled that you should be more accurate when sending us these payment details inorder to avoid the delays in our replies due to these numerous emails .
Thanks,
Chris Gold

Dear Miss Gold,

Please do not call me by my secretary's name. Miss Collie sends my emails for me at work sometimes.

I have the money orders in my hand. The name they have been made out to pay is Enyong Wilfred Ndam. I will not mail them. I wish to see the trailer before I hand over the money so I will wait until your audit has finished. I will also give the telephone company here in Alice a hurry up to get your phones fixed. I know lots of people who work at the telephone company so I am sure I can get them to hurry up with your phones because I am working for the Australian Federal Police. This means when I say frog someone jumps.

Yours,
Clay Diggs.

They jumped the gun just a bit, in misunderstanding about the Money Orders, they have agreed to meet Clay, (they think we sent the payments) so of course they are now willing to set up the meeting at their fictitious place of business in Alice Springs. Quite funny now, would love to see the looks on their faces.
Au Pet Courier
Dear Mr Clay Diggs,
There is no problem if you decide waiting..Our audit process will be completed this coming Friday.It will be our pleasure to invite you at our office,so that you could report with the money order this coming Friday at 3pm,and likewise collect the said trailer.We are just a branch office,so had to follow directives stipulated by our main office.Anyway,we shall be honoured to receive you in our services on friday afternoon.
Is has been our pleasure helping you.
Thanks,
Chris Gold,
Customer service.

Dear Miss Gold,

Fine, where do I go, what address?

Here they are starting [... to wonder ...] if we really did make the payments

Customer Service.
If mentioning the police don't scare them off, I wonder how they are going to get out of this???
Christina Adams
Dear Au Pet Courier,

You misunderstand. Clay has the money orders in his hand, to hand over to you in Alice Springs when he meets you at 3 pm this Friday. Your office can mail them if they want to, to anywhere in the world. They have not been sent anywhere yet. He will give them to your office and they can mail them, or he will maybe be able to mail them himself after he looks at the trailer. He wishes to view the trailer first, before he hands over the money. Clay is a police officer so he is very careful with his dealings. He wants to make sure everything is in order. He is very fair. He is not wasting your time, maybe you have been wasting ours. You refuse payment, except if we mail it to another country. Do you actually want to sell this dog trailer??? We want to see the dog trailer first. The money is there to hand over. If you do not think this is fair then we will just have to deal with Mrs. Jeffs, because I'm sure he wants to sell his trailer and be finished with all this hassle. This is all too much for a professional company such as yours. Telephone lines down for over a week, how do you run a business lika this? This is not how things are done in Alice Springs. Why aren't you willing to take the safest form of payment known, cold hard cash? Any dumbo in there rite mine would not pass up this. You do business bassakwards.

Not happy Jan!

Trails, Christina

Only time will tell if this saga continues.
