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. |

Please kindly get back to me immediately if the puppy is still available for sale and also if you can accept a cashier's check for payment as that the is the only way i can have payment to you. pls let me know the selling price for the puppy I am actually buying this for my younger brother and he has been begging me to buy this for him for a while now and i wouldn't want to loose it because this is like a surprise package for him so i wouldn't mind a $100 extra for you for the puppy to be romoved from the advert so i will be rest assured that i am now the owner of the puppy so you can be able to hold the it for me and also tell other interested parties that it has been sold. If you are okay with my arrangements,kindly get back with the informations below so i will use it to make payment to you immediately i get them from you, 1)Full Name 2)Full Address 3)Phone Number Please don't bother yourself about the pick up,i have a shipper that has gone to visit his family in nigeria,he will be ready to handle the pick up of the puppy at your location at your own best time..And alos i want you to know that i will be sendin you an over payment so you can beable to send the balance to my shipper so he will come for the puppy after payment has been made and cleared ..
