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,

Good a thing to write you.I have a proposal for
you-this however is not mandatory nor will I in any
manner compel you to honour against your will.

I am jessica,19 years old and the only daughter of my
late parents Mr.and Mrs.sangare. My father was a
highly reputable business Man-(a cocoa merchant)who
operated in the capital of Ivory coast during his
days.
It is sad to say that he passed away mysteriously in
France during one of his business trips abroad year
12th.Febuary 2002.Though his sudden death was linked
or rather suspected to have been masterminded by an
uncle of his who travelled with him at that time.

But God knows the truth!My mother died when I was
little,and sincethen my father took me so special.
Before his death on Febuary 12 2002 he called the
secretary who accompanied him to the hospital and told
her that he has the sum of eight million,United State
Dollars.(USD$8m.) he deposit in Private Security Firm.

He further told her that he deposited the money in my
name,and finally issued a written instruction to his
lawyer whom he said is in possession of all the
necessary but legal documents to this fund and the
bank.

I am just 19 years old and a university undergraduate
and really don't know what to do.Now I want an account
overseas where I can transfer this funds. This is
because I have suffered a lot of set backs as a result
of incessant political crisis here in Ivory coast.The
death of my father actually brought sorrow to my life.

Sir,I am in a sincere desire of your humble assistance
in this regards.Your suggestions and ideas will be
highly regarded.

Now permit me to ask these few questions:

1. Can you honestly help me as your daughter?
2. Can I completely trust you?
3. What percentage of the total amount in question

will be good for you after the money is in your
account?
Please,Consider this and get back to me as soon as
possible. Thank you so much.
My sincere regards,

miss jessica
