IT IS A SCAM AND THERE ARE NNOOOO FERRETS Read below - I fell for it and sent her a total of $385.00. She was asking for anothr $145.00 when I found her other scam.
Hi,


Thank you for your email and the interest in the Ferrets. I have Ferrets available now to go to new homes! I have two Ferrets presently available for adoption.

All of my Ferrets are my treasured pets. I spend many hours each day with them; consequently, they are all very tame. Although I love them very much but i need to send them out as a result of my work, i spend too much time at work and i have no time to look after them. This is a difficult decision for me to come to, but I feel very strongly that there are too many good homes out there where the Ferrets will have the attention they need.

I prefer to send both Ferrets to one home (they really need to be with their own kind). Ferrets are so much happier when they have Ferrets companions and it's really the best way to keep them; I feel strongly about keeping Ferrets with their friends. They are colony animals in the wild and Nature made them to be with their own kind - we should honor their true nature.

The Ferrets are Registered, Healthy and Vet Checked. They are socialized, good with kids and other pets. I raised them from birth.

There is a male, he is called Duke, he is 8 weeks and 2 days old. I have sent his picture in this email for you to view.

There is a female called Bella, she is 8 weeks and 2 days old, I have sent her picture in this email for you to view.

I am in need of a home for the Ferrets where they can be treated with lots of love, care and attention.

I recently moved from Rolla, MO for a new job. I am presently located in Douala, Cameroon. I am working here as an English Language Coordinator. I am a volunteering for this service. I love helping mankind because i believe with all my achievements in life, this is the time for me give thanks to God by serving others. I am here with the Ferrets. .

I brought them here by Air and I will use same means to send them to you if you decide to adopt them. The Shipping is completely safe for the Ferrets. I will send the Ferrets from the Douala International Airport, Cameroon and you are going to pick them up from the closest international airport. Your full names, address and the airport for pick up will be required for the flight arrangements. The full flight information will be sent to you when the flight arrangement is made.

To adopt the two Ferrets will require an adoption fee of $185. This money will cover the flight and adoption charges. You may ask yourself why my prices on Ferrets are so much less than the pet stores. Well, it's really pretty simple. These Ferrets are all raised or nurtured here, so there's no middleman! The most important thing to me is to find good, well-qualified homes for my sweet babies .


I provide them with a shipping kennel, veterinarian health checks, insurance, and heat pack (if needed). Plus my guarantee: I do guarantee you will receive healthy Ferrets. From the time you take possession of your new Ferrets, there is a 72 hour "watch" period. If anything - and we mean anything - seems out of sorts based on our discussions and information I have provided, simply contact me. As long as we are working together to resolve the problem, this guarantee period will be extended indefinitely, until the problem is resolved.

I will assist you with all arrangement and until you receive the Ferrets.

Permit me end here while waiting to read from you, Please Feel free to ask any question if there is anything else you need to know.

Thanks for contacting me and I look forward to hearing from you soon.

God Bless.

Monica.

She is now going by Natasha Tani!!! Do not fall for this please. I didn't research until it was too late and I fell for it too. I got the same emails with a different age and name for the ferret. Then once I sent the money, the same process happened.
She almost got me! Going by Naomi Tasha now. Exact same email with different ferret names.
