I am amazed. You would think that if someone wanted to run a scam like this they would at least take the time to learn proper diction and spelling.

I actually had a scammer from Paris France go to the extent of sending me a 3.800.00 cashiers check! Which was 2.500.00 more than the kitten I was selling! He proceeded to explain for myself to send his shipper the 2,500,00. IT IS TRUELY AMAZING WHAT DESPARATE PEOPLE DO FOR MONEY.

The funny thing is this is the same format as most scams. Cell phones have this they list it out like the breeds on that scam MOTOROLA RAZR.......$50 MOTOROLA KRZR........$150 TREO 700W.............$100 Then they ask you to send through Western Union and to give them the account code

did you actually try to cash the check Keycat?

OVer the last 4 or 5 months i have received different checks, here are the amounts, all of which were counterfeit, 4850, 3200, 2850, 3500 and 6500. If they would have been real I would have been one happy camper, but not one was real.

It is also truely amazing what stupid people will do when they THINK they are getting a deal that is to good to be true......lol Anybody want to buy the Brooklyn Bridge for a dollar???

No proud Poppa,I was very aware of these scammers.I did take it to my bank to show my friends that work their,and they were shocked at how real it seemed. The bank showed me the watermark and everything was perfect,and they would never have suspected it to be fake,AND THEY ARE THE BANK!! They kept the check to use for their security meetings to show other banks.so some good came of the bad.

KEYCAT, you wouldn't happen to be a 419 scambaiter, would you? :)
