Doris Haapalainen Carine Anna
Queja 12280 Detalles

I am a victim of scam from a scam artist in Sweden named Doris Haapalainen Carine Anna. In late February when my bird passed away, I went searching for birds I could buy off the internet and found Carine Anna (name she went with), who said she was a well known breeder in Stockholm Sweden. After exchanging a few emails ([email protected]) I inquired about her pair of Congo African Greys which was priced at 725 euros. She also stated that she used a company called airpet relocate to ship her birds around the world, and has been doing that for the past 15 years. She even sent us pictures of the birds. After many convincing emails, we decided to send her the 725 euros via her Swedbank account. I have the bank account details as valid. From this, I was sent a very legit CITES export/import statement with her full address that was used: John Ericssonsgatan 18, 112 22 Stockholm, Sweden. I also have that document as valid. After more email exchanges, she sent us an itinerary for the birds to be shipped to Toronto, Canada, where I live. Then I got an email from Airpet relocate stating I had to pay a refundable 1200 euros for insurance of the birds, which I foolishly did to her same Swedbank account. Then I got the full itinerary (Sweden to Copenhagen to Kansas City to Toronto, Canada). I then got an email from the Copenhagen Animal Care Center wanting an additional 900 euros for vaccines so that they could continue their flight (apparently they were held up). Except this time it was an email from a different person at the center wanting the money transferred to Cameroon via paypal. Then I realized I was dealing with a scam artist and did not pay any more money. Carine Anna also stated that she took a train to Copenhagen to resolve the issue but didn't work. I have sent airpet relocate an email and was told that Carine Anna was not registered with them and that it was a scam. I also emailed her numerous times asking for refunds, but she also never replied back. I was also told that she changed her email address to [email protected]. If anyone has been or is in contact with her please contact me. Please try to help me bring her down as she also scammed other victims.
