One of our advertisers has brought to our attention that they have been contacted recently by someone attempting to use the ‘certified cheque’ scam. The text of the email is below: (Besides the method of payment, the broken english/poor grammer is also suspect, as is the fact that “KITTEN” is in uppercase throughout the email, suggesting that it is a standard email where the item to be ‘purchased’ has simply been changed using a search/replace thgroughout the text)

“I’m interested in immediate purchase of your KITTEN After several consideration over the advert placed on the website on ,i really shown interest in it and would really want to issue the payment in form of Certified check.Will you be accepting a Certified check?
