Overseas scammers always say everything is "lovely!" Get some new adjectives already.

I put an Online Pet Scams 101 on my WisFolks blog. There is a lot of bad pet-related stuff going around!

It dosn't matter where or who you are, scams are everywhere in fact today somebody tried a scam here. check out the shelby mustang ad in the classifieds. the user joined yesterday, the car is in another country, the price is way below market price and most importantly the u.s. shelby registry has no record of the car ever being built.

I got one today....already deleted it...but it was someone who had a lovely horse and doggie and wanted to have the horse walked 30 days 1 hr a day and is leaving for China today and to send money.
LOL
Didn't want the dog walked...wanted the horse walked!

I get them when I post goats for sale online too. Usually, the overpay/send the balance back thing. Delete, delete, delete!

I like when they refer to a goat I'm selling as "item" - she's not an item, she's a goat!!
