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.

Dearest,

Please I wish to discuss this with you because my present predicament requires it and I want to tell you that i have prayed concerning you before contacting you.

I am Mrs Hyogo Keitaro Sato from Japan. I was married to late Mr. Keitaro Sato, former Japanese Ambassador for Conflicts and refugee related affairs in Africa, We served in Mali, Ethiopia, Democractic Republic of Congo and many Africa countries and finally Ivory coast where we were serving before the sudden death of my husband.

We were married for many years without a child. He died after a brief illness that lasted for only four days.Before his death we were both born again Christian but I love both christian and Muslim religiours.Since his death I decided not to remarry or get a child outside my matrimonial home which the holy book is against. What i did was to adopt a little boy (John) who is only 15 years now and can not manage the funds.

When my late husband was alive we both deposited the sum of $(4.4 Million ) USD Four Million and four hundred thousand in a Finance Security Company here in Abidjan.Recently,my Doctor told me that I would not last for the next three months due to cancer problem.

To go straight to your questions, this predicaments started few years ago. Though was very manageable when my husband was alife.

Things got worsened few weeks ago after final test and diagonesis were carried out and the doctors alloyed fears that there must be urgent surgical operations to remedy the sitaution or else, it could be very dangerous.

Having been told this, I decided to look for a person that can take proper care of John,his education and future,before i can undertake the medical operations.

I would want him to stay in your country against going back to Japan, because my late husband's relations were against his adoption as a son to inhereit their borther's wealth.

So, I would want him to stay and live with you in your country. The money will have to be splited into two ratios:

You shall open a special account for his education and other expenses related to him while he is still underaged. Then, you will invest the rest of the funds in any gainful venture in your country.

You shall oversee and manage the funds and the investments while John,will continue with his education.

When he is matured enough to take decisions and work,you can allow him positions to the business you will open with the funds.

This is my plans and how i want you to follow things.

I shall be awaiting to hear further comments and ideas from you.

God bless you,

Sister Keitaro.

N/B As soon as I receive your reply I shall give you the relevant documents that will legalize you to have access over this fund.I will also issue you an affidavit that will proove you the present beneficiary of this fund in the Finance Security Company.


Mrs. Hyogo Keitaro Sato.
