Wow, I got this crank response on my ad today and I was sure wondering…glad I told him cash only and my dog was a dog, not a pair of shoes on eBay. Glad I looked this up!
kmh
Yep I got this one today for my dog also!
Has sent a couple emails back and forth and I had a gut feeling that something wasn’t right. When the person said that they would send me the money and to cash and keep ANOTHER $100 and give the rest to the movers a huge red light just went off. Glad that I trusted my gut feeling
I got the same email. What do you do if you gave him your info??
take the check to the police , that is if this person even sends one-
keep an eye out for identity theft too- you gave this person a lot of personal information!
I got the same email. What do you do if you gave him your info?? Thanks!
@Jenn
Safe to assume he will send you a FAKE check. Trash it…
Sent me the same to a dog as well. Made me so mad! I am not “SELLING” him! Grr…. jerk.
Tried to get my info after posting an ad on some snakes, knew it was fishy he wanted to get them all without negotiating price!
I posted an add for my lost dogs. The title being “Missing Dogs”
He emailed me saying “I hope your Pet is still available for sale? please kindly get back to me with the actual amount of the item.
Email……. mattew61@gmail.com”
First off the dogs a missing, not for sale. Second off a dog is not an item.
Pure trash.
What a phony not getting my dog.
