St. Louis County Sheriff's Investigator Steve Heinrich said the kennel's web page with puppies for sale was also looked at."That's the route they were using on her.'' Heinrich said the money orders were shipped to her door through DHL, but they were actually issued last September for $129 each.In the following months, he said they were apparently changed to read $990. Heinrich backtraced the man to Nigeria and said the package of money orders was originated and first shipped from Madison, Wis. "These cases (referred to as phishing scams) are very hard to investigate,'' he said, based on the numerous locations involved."Most times you won't get a conviction out it because they are out of the country.'' Internationally people won't touch it, Heinrich said, because extradition and travel costs for witnesses often exceed what the scam was worth.

Heinrich, who has received training on the phishing scams and Internet crimes, said most originate in Nigeria and the scammers make it look like they are from London or Canada. Local residents are reporting other scams, as well, he said. He cautioned on credit card fraud, identity theft, ticket purchases for events far in advance and look-alike websites that seek updated personal and financial information. Both the elderly and younger people are also receiving cashier's checks made out to the victim, he said.The victims are told to keep some of the money for their troubles and send the rest to two or more others. Heinrich said residents should go directly to local law enforcement if they have any doubts about being scammed.
