I've had similar before. It disgusts me that someone preys on gullible people. Recently replied to an on-line ad for a "free" puppy, and eventually had them ask me to pay $250 for shipping costs. All contact was through email and text, never spoke to a human. When I replied that I had a week off, and would rather drive to Texas to pick up the puppy, and not stress it by shipping, I never heard any more from them. I had already begun to suspect it was a scam. Talked with a friend in an Animal Rescue organization, and she said this was a common scam originating out of South Africa. Keep your radar on!

wow! spam at its finest!! and just imagine many do believe that!
I wish our government would do something about that. and especially us senior citizens with fixed incomes look at it as a ruse. how sad that people like this can get away with it!

oh have you had toe one about they send you a check, you put it in your account and you get 10% and you send the rest to them? I did, but I asked my banker about it, she said it is a skam and if I did deposit that money, I would have been liable for the money. oh these people are so tricky! I did have the foresight to check it out!
