Everytime I list a cat for adoption on Petfinder.com, I get THIS weirdness: |

Hello
Am interested in adopt your pet which i saw on the internet (petfinder.com) and i would like to know the conditions of the pet , and probably arrange for payment to get to you asap and also arrange for the pick up once payment is confirmed by you. ( I BASED IN DALLAS WITH MY FAMILY ) Please acknowledge the offer and i will have the funds remitted to you as soon as possible, and i'll like this transaction to be kept in outmost trust, Kindly reply back to me with your last asking price ? also a picture of the pet, I promise the pet a lovely home. Thanks and God Bless..... .......... Regards
I don't remember if the respondent has always been in Dallas, but it's always somewhere far away from me - and IINM my geog. area is in my listing....
:wtf:
If it's spam - damm weird spam, ma'am.

(I think) they do this on things that would have expensive shipping. They include payment for the shipment and then ask you to pay the shipper with the over payment. The scam is that there is no shipper, the money goes back to them, and their payment bounces.
