That is a pretty scarey scam.........and at first I wasnt even so sure it was a scam until one of the posters said they were scammed exactly this way, with an email very similair.
The wording was a bit suspicious and not all questions were answered so it made you wonder........but what made me doubt it was a scam was the fact that it is expensive to advertise in the paper. Scammers usually advertise in free advertising.
Whats so scarey about that scam, alot of people probably beleive its legit. I guess if you advertise in 3 papers for 75.00 each and get several takers on a ficticious dog for 1200.00, it was a very successful scam.
Probably one of the most porfitble yet. Because alot of people probably go for this one.
