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 Seller,
You placed an advert online about selling your French Bulldog Puppies .........$1,250. I am interested.. I am to make the shipping arrangement myself so dont be bothered. I am okay with the description and all the details i have gotten so far. I also belieive the price is perfectly okay ($1,250).
I will be paying you by cheque which my client will send to you immediately i have your details.
Let your details include.. ============================================ FULL NAME.. .......... ADDRESS..... POSTAL CODE/ ZIP CODE..................................... STATE... ................ COUNTRY.................. TEL NUMBER. .................. LAST PRICE... ......... .......... ===============================================
Please, be aware that the amount on the cheque is more than your asking price. The excess amount is for the SHIPPING + MY PROFIT as an agent.. You are to send me back the excess amount when you receive the cheque.. I will be happy if my offer is granted. I tried reaching you through phone but cant get through.
Please, send me some more photos if available.
Regards,,,
shegson@myway.com Mr Sammy Sammy.
