A Scam For Every Occasion

My wife placed an online ad looking for someone to "adopt" a stray dog that has taken up residence at my in-laws house. Here is the first response she received. ------------------------------- Hello....
I'm highly impressed to grant your pet a loving forever home.I wish i re-homed the pet to my passionate garden here in uk. I'm happily married and living confortably. I'm us citizen but currently in the uk to accept a job offer with the uk christain ministries, i spent my quaterly holidays in my house in the state. Recently, i lost my adorable pet on our way going for his VET check. I want to adopt yours in replace so that it'll minimise the pain and reduce the tragedy in my mind. I hope your pet is loving and good ? I'll be responsible for the pick-up so all i need from you are as follows: The pet name, mode of feedings, present condition, price, pictures if available. I urge you to contact the pet shipper's company a (billyhamburg_petshipers@billburg.com) so that you can as well make your intention known to them. because i've earlier informed them so they might be the first to contact you. I have to leave no stone unturned, as i'll forward you a "MO" or "cashier's check" drawn direct throughtout the us banks as regards the payment for the pet, to crown it all you're to be given $50 as compensation of your efforts for taking good care of the pet up till this moment that it find a loving home. I'm mailing you to show my affectionate for the pet and it must base on trust. So forward your datas to prepare the payment. i.e
1- your name to issue the payment
2- home address
3- zipe code
4- tel phone number.
Treat this as matter of urgency and get back to me with all informations
within your knowledge.

*******Dedicated for the pet******
Animals are great to see
Fun to have as pets
Some I know I'd rather have
Than people that I've met
They never ask you questions
They rarely disagree
But always seem to know just when
To be there when need be
Some will make a bit of noise
To ask if we're ok
It's just their way of letting us know
That things will work some way
It's like they're trying to say to us
They know just how we feel
And only try to help us through
Our bothersome ordeal
Dogs will come wag their tail
Lift you up a paw
Looking at you with helpful eyes
Understanding what they saw
Cats will sit and study you
Before they come around
Trying to figure out when's best
To lift you when you're down
Birds are quiet when you're mad
Noisy when you're not
They'll only make a bit of
noise When the blues is all you've got
Animals know more than we think
They all have their moods too
Have you ever noticed when
They spend more time near
you Sometimes we take them all for granted
As well as some people too
Do you ever ask yourself
If you'd be there for you

Mrs Daniela Dash

You could have a lot of fun with this one...

You could tell "Mrs. Dash" that the dog is missing his hind legs, has steel balls, and goes by the name "Sparky".

I'm guessing that if he replies, he will be asked to forward funds to the pet shipping company.

Seriously though--I've never heard of anyone shipping a pet, sight unseen.
