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 Sir,

I am an pupies and dog buyer dealer from Lome,Togo West African coast.I also
purchase dog and pupies.I am interested in the purchase of your dog and pupies .You do
not have to worry about the shipment as this will be arranged by my
agent.

Please note that as soon as we agree on the price payment shall be made
without delay.

PAYMENT :
To make payment quicker and easier for both of us,a check of $1500
drawn and payable in a US Bank shall be sent it to you by my client.

However,you shall send to my Agent the balance after you have deducted
the cost for your dog and pupies to enable him prepay the shipping Company that
instruct their office in the USA to come and pick it up at your location.

If this is alright with you,then send to me your FULL NAMES and
