Thumbs down Avoid the e-mail scams!

Got this today and thought that I would pass it along to any breeders new or old that haven't seen this type of thing. I wonder what would happen if I were to just keep the check and cash it without sending the balance to New York??? E-mails look a lot like this:

Hi ,

I am Julian Frisk by name,i am interested in making a purchase on your
pet for sale in the classified ads section of the TEXAS STATESMAN ONLINE
NEWSPAPER. The reason I am sending you this email is to make final
reconfirmation and also to let you know that payment will be by
certified USPS (United States Postal Servce) Money Order OR Certified Cashiers Check. In view of this I need you to email me any information that may be required to send the Money Order, as I do not want to send the Money Order OR Certified Cashiers Check to a wrong location lest they gets into the wrong hands.

Regarding the shipping, I have a company that takes care of the pick up
of my consignments for me and ship to my destination anywhere in the
U.S.A, you do not worry about shipping, the company will send down a
representative to arrange the sales documentation and the pick up from your end for onward transfer to my destination.

I also want to alert you on the fact that you will be recieving an
overdraft Money Order OR Certified Cashiers Check, which will cover the money for the pickup (pickup and shipping to the final destination) as well as the money to be paid to the company that will take care of the pickup and the documentation with you. So please, as soon as you receive the Money Order OR Certified Cashiers Check, go and cash them immediately, deduct the money that accrues to you, and send the balance to the Head Office of the company that handles the shipment in New York City, New York State via the nearest Moneygramm or Western Union agent in your area. Deduct the Moneygramm or Western Union charges from the balance and send the remaining to New York immediately .


The Money Order OR Certified Cashiers Check will be in your name to
make it easier for you to receive payment, deduct your money and send the
balance Via Moneygramm or Western Union as regards my earlier direction, please reconfirm your details one more time.I will give you the details of the
company that you will send the balance of the money to in New York
City, New York State once I get a reply and agreement that you will send the money to New York City, New York State Via Moneygramm or Western Union money transfer immediately you cash the Money Order OR Certified Cashiers Check.


Once the money is received by the agent in New York, the shipping agent
will contact you immediately to arrange the documentation as well as the
pick up immediately. So in view of the above, here are some of the details I
will need for final issuance of the USPS Money Order OR Certified Cashiers
Check to you.

(1) Full Names
(2) Mailing address, No P.O.Box Please
(3) Your direct Telephone Numbers(Home and Office and Cell)
(4) Your Final Asking price
(5) Acceptance of my offer and agreement to send the balance of the money to my shipping agent in New York City, New York State Via Moneygramm or Western Union Money Transfer.

Once you get back to me with all the above, the Money Order OR
Certified Cashiers Check will be issued out immediately and it will be sent to
you .

Finally i am making you a promise that the PET will be taken care of
just like a child and nutured like my friend,companion and pet at the same
time, never lacking any care and love from me at any point, i will also
send you pictures from time to time for you to see what love i it gets from
me. My address if you need it for the registration is:

LANA BILL
101 County Rd 75,
Bensenville, Illinois 60106.

I used to work for the United Nations and recently lost my hearing,due
to a mighty explosion at a site where we were evacuating Civilians in
Iraq. Am recieving treatment grants both from the American Government and also the United Nations. So you have to bear with me as I have hearing problems.

Please get back to me with the required informations immediately on my
personal email address: julianshomes@hotmail.com , i do not like
getting responses to this email address,so please email me to my personal and confidential email address: julianshomes@hotmail.com

Hope to hear from you immediately.



Regards,
Juian Frisk
julianshomes@hotmail.com


N.B. : I will pay you extra $50 to reserve this for me.
