| Yes definitely!! It will be funds like a money order or check that will be out of the state and be fraudulent. They want you to cash it in get the money from your account then give them the remainder. Later down the line your bank will find out it is fake then charge you the whole amount. So in essence they will have a free puppy and extra money all courtesy of you!!!!!! There is a thread on here somewhere about this.

Donating YT 10K Club Member | Any time someone throws out that....I'll send you a check and you send me the remainder...it's a scam. That cashier's check is counterfeit.

| Thanks for all the input, I defionitely thought it smelled like a scam. It didnt even make sense to me. If you are hiring a transporter then why don't you just pay them? I think I will ask him that and play with him for a while. |
