The below is from a Scammer! Some of the emails may not look like scams, but they all lead to the same thing. The scammer will pay by check (cashier's check/money order) for more then the pet is worth, then they will ask you to send them back the difference in money. A couple weeks later you find out the check was fake and the bank will take it out of your account. This scam can be set up several ways.

Some key points for pointing out a scammer:
1. Doesn't care much about the pet, just the transaction.
2. Says they will use their own shipper.
3. 95% of the scammers are from overseas (Nigeria, Israel, South Africa)
4. Pays you more then the pet is worth, then asks for the difference in money back.

Dear Sir/Madam

My name is Laura Thornton; I am on a BTEC National Diploma course in Animal Management at Southdown’s College in Portsmouth. I was just wondering if I could borrow a few minutes of your time and ask you to answer there 10 questions on breeding. For it is a task in one of my assignments.

1)What animal do you breed?
2)What legislation is evolved in breeding?
3)How do you select your animals?
4)Are there any common diseases in the animal you breed?
5)If so how do you go about it?
6)Are there any health issues that can affect breeding?
7)Is finding animals that are a certain colour or that aren’t related hard?
8)Do you keep records from breeding, if so which ones?
9)Do you have to use special accommodation when breeding?
10)Are there any inspections to see if your breeding methods are correct?
11)What happens to the young?


Thank you for you time

Laura Thornton
