What Do You Think?

A workmate of my husband spotted a relatively rare breed advertised on a site and wrote to enquire about its breeding, availability etc. This is the reply she received.....

Thanks for the mail, i am located in USA in Texas

you will only pay for the fight .

please by 5hours time i will go and resister in an agency and the agency will contact and you will give the flight money but to the agency not to me i am only giving it for adoption to you. i am doing this because our pastor says we should gives this coming Easter and we ought-to give.

My Regards

Does anyone actually fall for this spiel????????

But their pastor says to give so they can't be shonky!!

Theres some really dodgy advertisements online for animals . We encountered a couple of strange things when we were looking for an African Grey parrot , the People we contacted were oh so dodgy , one lady advertising them in Australia was actually in South Africa ! the other person we contacted was in Tasmania and wanted us to pay for the bird up front (full amount ) but could not give us an address or a telephone number !! Funnily enough we never did get our African Grey !!!!

The add above sounds very dodgy !!

What breed was it? A newfy or something?

Grammar like that generally suggests an international scam. Doubt its based in the US.
