Someone tried this with me four or five years back. They sent me a check for about 2grand more then the purchase price of the animal, which i was supposed to send back to them when i sent the animal. Yeah, thats it. Anyway, it was obvious it was fake check so i gave it to my bank to see if they could do anything with it and they gave it to some investigators and that was it. Needless to say, it was an obvious scam to me. But some people really are tricked by these low lifes. On the other hand... if i am trying to by an animal and do not use paypal. I always ask for the name, addy and telephone number. So... it does not always mean it is a scam. Just tell them you do not want a bank/business check if you are worried. Postal money orders clear right away. And obviously, do not send an animal before anything clears anyway. Good luck!
