To think I might not see those eyes, makes it so hard not to cry, and as we say our long goodbyes, I nearly do.

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.

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!

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:
