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.

ATTENTION
Good day, and best wishes of the day with all honour and due respesct.I
am Mr.Ken Gabriel, the Accountant General of a Bank in Africa.I humbly
request your kindest assistance in the transfer of money amounting to
$35.000,000.00 in my bank. On June. 1994, an oil consultant/contractor
with the oil ministry, Mr.Alfred .C Walker, he made a fixed deposit of
U.S $35 million dollars in my bank. We sent a routine notification to
his forwarding address but got no reply.
After a month, we sent a remind errand;finally his employers wrote to
inform us that Mr.Alfred died in an automobile accident, that he died
without making a will while our attempt to investigate his next of kin
proved fruitless only God knows why he made it this way.When he was
making deposition in my bank, he did not declare his next of kin in his
deposit application form, when I reminded him he said he wished it so,
in the conservative manner of our bank, I did not turn down his request
rather honor it considering his net worth. The point is that his
employers are not aware of his deposit with us;therefore I am the only
person who knows about Mr. Alfred‘s deposit of $35,000,000.00which i
would not like to disclose to the overnment,which is now lying in a dormant account
portfolio.
I am looking forward for a reliable foreigner who will stand or assist
with good heart and trust as the next of kin to Mr. Alfred.I have worked
out modalities of achieving my aim by appointing you as the next of kin,
as well as transfer the $35,000,000.00 abroad for us toshare. I will use
an attorney who will represent you as the beneficiary to series of
affidavit in support of your claim including certificate of origin of
the money,power of attorney, which empowers you as the sole
trustee/executive to the estate of Alfred. Please note that you may not
be required to sign any transfer document as the appointed attorney will
do all, if you are not able to come over.If you agree to act as the next
of kin/beneficiary to enable me transfer/convert the money to our enefit
use.
I will give you 30% of total amount while 5% will take care of any
unforeseen expenses may incurred in the course of concluding this
transaction.
I am urgently and confidentially waiting for your earliest response.
Thanks and God bless,
Mr. Ken Gabriel (Accountant General)
