We purchased a capuchin monkey from her, we paid her and waited for our baby to get here, then she emails me and says she stuck in customs, lie we checked, she couldnt give me a valid address or phone number. BEWARE she has adresses in California, Texas, and possibly Cameroon......

It's not just her, there are HUNDREDS or THOUSANDS of crooks like her out there every day, on places like hoobly and craigslsit. what site did you find her on? Please report her to the 'head' of the website you found her on, and request she be blocked. Report any ads you see from her, or like hers that sound fishy, and post warnings to others. Let your mistake teach others. Common puppy breeds they use: maltese, bulldog, yorkies, chihuahuas- often they say 'free' but want you to send 4 to ship, monkeys, turtles, parrots- I've even seen kangaroos from these scumbags lately. If it sounds too good to be true, it is folks.

No, thankfully I've not been scammed by her, but have seen her ads including pictures of some adorable baby monkeys that she claims to sell.
Thank you so much for the warning since I must confess that the temptation to purchase was certainly there. I'll pass this information on.
Good luck to you and I hope that you recover your losses. Better yet, the capuchin monkey that you've been dreaming for.

If signing up for the $sixty 9.ninety 9 month-to-month plan and the getting a month-to-month bill of $121.ninety 9 a rip-off, then sure I even have been scammed and could stay scammed till my 2 year settlement is finished.

Thanks for the info. This is why all sites suggest that you never purchase out of state. I ignored that warning myself regarding some software and got burned the same way. I learned my lesson and will never buy from anyone who I can't drive to unless they are a registered state/federal company. And I got no help from anyone. I reported it to the police, to Craigslist, to the United States Post Office and to the Federal Internet Crimes division and no one did anything.

why would you buy a monkey or anything else from just anyone online? why wouldn't you check it out first? as long as people keep buying things without checking it out, there will be scam artists. a lesson hard learned i'd say.
