I am so glad that I researched these types of scams before I sent any information or money to these scammers!!!! I am going to post the emails that were sent between the scammer and myself. Notice how in one of the emails, she says puppy and then later she says monkey. She must've been busy scamming someone else and had that on her mind!!!
Here are the emails. To read them in order, start from the bottom. WATCH OUT FOR THESE PEOPLE!!!

I just want to let you know that I know that you are trying to scam me. I am a law enforcement officer, remember? Before you try to scam anymore people, you need to learn better English. After that, you need to get a conscience. You mention "God" in all of your emails, but obviously you don't worship the same God as I do because my God says that Stealing and Lying is WRONG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I used this interaction to gather some evidence for an ongoing investigation. Have a nice life, and don't contact me again.
PS. Yahoo mail does offer Spell check!

Hello,
I am very much happy to read back from you so soon. Actually, i will be willing to provide these babies/baby to you, which you will be responsible just for the shipping fee.For you to have one puppy ship to your location, will cost you $260,and the shipping fee of 2 will be $510. These babies will be delivered right at your door steps, in an electronic crate, play toys, and work papers. And if the shipping fee is made available now, then you are going to get the babies delivered to you, in about 4-3 hrs time. And as soon as you make the shipping fee available, i will take the Monkeys right away to the airport for them to be ship to your location.And as soon as i am done at the airport, they are going to email you, with the flight details and the bill number ok. We are not selling these babies/baby,but rather looking for a loving home to provide him or her with love and care ok. So,if that is ok by you, we will need your full contact home address, where you will like the Monkeys to be delivered.

Yes, I'm married. My husband is deployed at the moment. This is 1 of the reasons that I was interested in getting a monkey so that it could keep me company. I have a 4 year old son, & am a former police officer. Right now, I'm just taking care of the house til my husband gets back. I haven't ever had a monkey but I have friends who have experience with them. I love animals & have always wanted a monkey. I live in Columbia, South Carolina. I would like 1 monkey but am willing to take two if they're a pair that doesn't want to be separated. Let me know what needs to be done next. Thanks!!
