final asking price? is that so you can haggle??? ;)
-
Scam! >:(
It would be made out for too much money and they would ask you for cash or cheque for the difference. Their cheque or money order would then bounce.
I think you can replace cat with car, lawnmower etc etc :evillaugh:
-
Definitely a scam, otherwise they would know you've got loads of cats - which one are they talking about :rofl:
-
Thats quite disturbing. :scared:
Did he specify any particular cat or just a random one?
-
Just what was on the email :shy: There are some very strange people out there :shify: :evillaugh:

Read the email with a Nigerian accent :evillaugh:

god knows what they are trying to get out of you! they obviously don't know how much rescue costs!

Final asking price!!! This is animals lives they are talking about!! What awful people. I had this scam about 6 or 7 times when I was selling my car but I would never expect it if I was running a cat rescue!

You see that type of email on ebay when looking at mobile phones,
You're right just ignore them
-
Those type of e-mails have been going round for years sadly, and need to be avoided like the plague. I am wary of opening e-mails with certain titles, and generally if it doesnt sound legit, it doesn't get opened - yes, I might lose the odd home, but much better than opening a virus e-mail.

VERY strange and deffo not let ANY kitty go there. ( I know you won't) xxx
