Subject: Adoption

hello to you hoping- to- adopt parent...
i am Michael o'Brian and i am a missionary located in Cameroon, a
country in Central Africa. I read your ad in a website and i was
shocked by the fact that somepeople in the world will like to adopt
while they are many children here in africa waiting for a loving and
caring family to adopt them. Therefore if you are interested in
adopting from the Holy Trinity Orphanage For Children Welfare, then
Kindly reply to this mail. If not then ignore the mail and report to
our attorney at [email protected]
Thanks for reading the mail

Does she ask if you will bring her back to the united states with you and the child? Does she say she has AIDS? We were contacted by three people one man and two girls from Cameroon. All had sad stories! ↑

Many more of these have popped up in that last year. In the last several months ones from Cameroon. People just need to understand that these are all scams...and hit the delete button. If they are coming from foriegn countries there is nothing we can do nor can our government....you will just be out your money ↑

Hello we have also gotten ongoing emails from a couple claiming to be from that same country including a picture of this would be couple with a child they claim is their 6 month old little girl that needs a home? One does not usually have formal pictures taken if your not Planning on raising your child. Also Once I emailed that well Gee did ya know that One cannot legally adopt from Your country? No reply Of Course.
Best wishes
