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.

relationship with you. I know this email may come to
you as a surprise, since we have not known or writen
before except now I have decided to contact you Well the story goes this,Our mother died long ago when she was about to deliver my most junior brother maxwell, he is 20 years old as of today, based that we lost our mother so early our father took us so special, we are only from my mother's side, I and the one boy.

Introducing myself, I am MISS Vivian Muluzu 23 years
of
age the only daughter of the late Chief and Mrs ROBERT
Muluzu, my father was a gold and cocoa merchant based
in , Abidjan (Ivory Coast) he was poisoned to death by
his business associates on one of their business
trips. Before the death of my father on the 29th April
2002 in a private hospital here in Abidjan. He
secretly called me on his bed and told me that he has
a sum of USD$5.5M (five million five hundred thousand
U.S) deposited in a security company here in Abidjan
Cote D' Ivoire, that he used my name as his beloved
daughter for the next of kin in depositing the
trunk box containing money in the security company.

He also explained to me that it was because of this
wealth that he was poisoned by his business
associates, that I should seek for a foreign partner
in a country of my choice where I will transfer this
money and use it for investment purpose such as as
expansion of his existing cocoa business and real
estate management overseas. Meanwhile, my late father
told me that the security company does not know the
real content in th box, they believed it was an Art
craft of family treasures and important documents of
his estate as it was formerly deposited by my late
father.

As of now, the consignment has left Abidjan due to the
problem of unstable government and also the un
agreement long ahead between the newly head of state
his excellency president LAURANT GBAGBO and his
oposition ALHAJI DARAMAN WATARA over the resent rebels
attack in the country. So for that reason,I ordered
the security company here to transfer it to there
representative stourage house in Europe.

total sum as compersation for your effort and input
