With how many scams that have happened in the past couple years, I still can't believe people have to ASK if something is a scam -- isn't it completely obvious???
Signs of a scammer:
-- Very poor English/grammar
-- Calling an e-mail "letter", "message", or "mail"
-- Not identifying the actual animal and just calling it a generic word like "pet", "item", etc.
-- Mentioning the "final asking price"
-- Mentioning a "shipping agent" or their own shipping company coming to "pick up" the "item"
-- Mentioning using a cashier's check or money order to pay (99% of us in this hobby always use USPS money orders and will say so)
-- Signing with something like "Regards", "Greetings", "Well Wishes", etc.
The bottom line is if an e-mail even remotely sounds abnormal when you read it, it's a scam. Delete it.
