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.

My dear Sir,

Top of the day to you over there.

I am MR PELVIN TITO the Director in-charge of auditing and accounting section of DIAMOND BANK OF LOME - TOGO in West Africa. With due respect and regards, I have decided to contact you on a business transaction that will be very beneficial to both of us at the end of the transaction.

During our investigation and auditing in this bank, my department came across a very huge sum of money belonging to a deceased person who died on an Egyptian airline flight 990 that crashed on 31 october 1999 with his family on their way to Egypt from New York.

My dear, from our findings this fund has been dormant in his account with this bank without any claim of the fund in our custody either from his family or relation before our discovery to this development.

Although personally, I kept this information secret within myself and my partner to enable the whole plans and idea be profitable and successful during the time of execution.The said amount was USD$25m (twenty five million United States Dollars).I am glad to say that with the introduction of internet, I was opportuned and pleasured to have come across your contact through this satellite media.

My dear, the actual reasons why I have to contact you was the fact that I been a banker are not allowed to operate a foriegn account and would eventually raise an eye brow on my side during the time of transfer because I am still working in this bank. I will not fail to inform you that this transaction is 100% risk free.

Meanwhile all the whole arrangement for you to put claim over this fund as the bonafide next of kin to the deceased will be relayed to you as soon as you indicate your interest and willingness to assist us and also benefit yourself to this great business opportunity. Thus this process must be done through its legal means.

On smooth conclusion of this transaction, a certain percentage of this fund has been mapped out for you as your entitlement which I will let you know upon your reply of interest on this transaction.

My dear, you are adviced to keep this transaction a top secret as I am still in service and intend to retire from service after we conclude this deal with you.
I will be monitoring the whole situation here in this bank until you confirm the money in your account. And ask us to come down to your country for subsequent sharing of the fund and further investment, either in your country or any country you advice us to invest in.

All other necessary information will be send to you when I hear from you. I suggest you get back to me asap stating your wish in this deal.

However, I wish you give me your phone number where I will call you and please you are free to call me on this my telephone number 00228 903 11 27 for more detailed information. Meanwhile, I will be sending to you my family picture for you to have a look of the people you are about to deal with.
