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 One,
I am Mrs Mentus Whad from Kuwait. I am married to Mr.Salem Whad who worked with Kuwait embassy in Ivory Coast for nine years before he died in the year 2001. We were married for eleven years without a child. He died after a brief illness that lasted for only four days.
Before his death we were both God fearing people. Since his death I decided not to remarry or get a child outside my matrimonial home which my condition did not allow me to do.
When my late husband was alive he deposited the sum of $5.6Million (Five Million six hundred thousand U.S. Dollars) with one security company in EUROPE.
Presently, this money is still with the Security Company ,Recently, my Doctor told me that l would not last for the next Eight months due to cancer problem.
The one that disturbs me most is my stroke sickness,Having known my condition I decided to donate this fund to an organization that will utilize this money the way
I am going to instruct herein. I want this fund to be used for orphanages, widows, propagating the word of God and to endeavor that the house of God is maintained.

I was made to understand that “Blessed is the hand that giveth”. I took this decision because I don’t have any child that will inherit this money and my husband relatives are not God fearing people and I don’t want my husband’s efforts to be used by unbelievers. I don’t want a situation where this money will be used in an ungodly way, This is why I am taking this decision.
I am not afraid of death hence I know where I am going. I know that I am going to be in the bosom of the Lord. Exodus 14 VS 14 says that “the lord will fight my case and I shall hold my peace”. I don’t need any telephone communication in this regard because of my health hence the presence of my husband’s relatives around me always. I don’t want them to know about this development. With God all things are possible. As soon as I receive your reply I shall give you the contact of the Security Company in EuropeI will also issue you an authority letter that will prove you the present beneficiary of this fund. I want you to always pray for me because the Lord is my shephard. My happiness is that I lived a life of a worthy Christian. Whoever that Wants to serve the Lord must serve him in spirit and Truth.
Please always be prayerful all through your life.Contact me on the above e-mail address and any delay in your reply will give me room in sourcing another person for this same purpose. Please assure me that you will act accordingly as I Stated herein. Hoping to receive your reply.
Yours ,
Mrs. Mentus Whad.
Remain blessed in the Lord.
