I am currently being scammed by Tania Van Wyk who has give the same story about "Fina" but this time its a picture of a boerboel puppy and she is not able to look after her as she travels alot and is currently based in cameroon but i suspected this being a scam when she wanted me to pay the balance of the courier cost of R900 cash then i refused and she wanted my banking details to have money transferred into my account.
She is a total ripoff and I want her caught so she does not continue her scams as some people might fall for it and loose their hard earned money. Refer e-mails below:
