Trans International Pet Relocation (
transinternational@in.com) is a fraudulent shipping company. Here is the contents of a sample email from them. There is a picture of a map and a picture of dogs on a plane which I have deleted. The person who was "selling" the birds was "Nell Moresoon" <
nellmoresoon@hotmail.com>.
Notice the insistence that the payment be via Western Union. Also, notice that they want you to copy the address on a to a clean piece of paper and advise you not to tell the WU agent that you are sending money for the shipping of animals. You are told this because if the WU agent were to see the scammer's email or be told by the customer that the money was being sent to Cameroon, Nigeria, Guana, to pay for the shipping of animals, the WU agent would or should know that the customer was about to be defrauded and might and should alert the customer to this fact.
Persons in the market for pets (or any other merchandise or service) should never, under any circumstances, pay the sellers or shippers with Western Union or Money Gram! 99.9% of scammers request payment via these methods because such payment is untraceable, irreversible and can be picked up at any Western Union/Money Gram office anywhere in the world and, in many cases, without having to present proper identification. Thus, the scammer can be anywhere, and receive funds while preserving complete anonymity and the victim has no recourse in retrieving their funds.
