Almost sounds like the precursor to sending a certified check (bogus, of course)for too much money, and then asking you to return the overpayment. :conf12:

JDM,

Its a scam. I got exactly like that a while ago. I too replied and got no response. I did a google search on the first line and got these hits:

http://ladylexi.blogspot.com/2007/03/scary-email-inquiries-for-mr-chewy.html

One is listed as by Robin Cole, the other is Kerry Brown, yet both emails are identical down to sentance structure.

My suggestion, block it and trash it.

If you ever get an email about a animal you are trying to help and they only say "pet" and make no reference to the species, breed, name of the animal, or anything from your post or listing, its a phishing scam.

The things people will do! That is definitely a scam. Don't get down on Petfinder though. They can be great. I first found the Tampa Bay Beagle Rescue on Petfinder. However, after I found the Beagle that interested me (she was adopted before I was approved to adopt), I went directly to their website to check them out. Eventually they got a litter of puppies and I got my Jersey and it all worked out for the best! :heart:
