So I found this cat and posted to a found ad to craigslist. How very strange. What is the angle here?
Hello…
I’m highly impressed to grant you pet a loving -forever home for your pet…I wish i re-home the pet my passionate garden here in europe. I’m a married man with two kids (Daff& Tarre) so my kids are eager to have the pet as well.Please briefly descripe the present condition of the pet,breed,price and pics if available. I want to reach a better compromise with you as regard this transaction. I’ll instruct my trustee in the state to forward a US CACHIERS’ CHECK in the amount that will bear the cost of the pet and SHIPPING CHARGES .For the pick up,have arranged for that, my shipping agent will come for the pick up at your home as soon as the payment is settled… So if my offer is okay by you let me have your informations in this manner:
NAME(to be written on the check):
HOME ADDRESS:
CITY:
STATE:
POST CODE:
COUNTRY:
TELEPHONE #:
LAST PRICE OF THE PET:
That will be written on the cashier’s check so as to make pa! yment delivery ready as soon as possible.
And also tell me if i can count on you for the remaining balance for the shipping payment/arrangement.
thanks

At first, I thought he was offering to rehome the cat in a pet cemetary!
You’ve gotta give the guy credit for originality, though.

“Re-home”? That’s fabulous! It sounds like corporate-speak for “adopt.” I’m sure the cat would love to be re-homed to their passionate garden. But aren’t there cats in Europe that would also like to be homed there?
Anyway, what a pretty cat! I hope that you find the owners.

Sounds like a version of the cashier’s check/wire fraud scam, craigslist details those here: http://seattle.craigslist.org/about/scams.html

I just wonder what happens in that “passionate garden here in europe.” :eek:
Poor kitty is still in the garage. The dogs are going bat-crap crazy on the other side of the door.
**And also tell me if i can count on you for the remaining balance for the shipping payment/arrangement. **
We have a winner!
