has anyone ever posted a pet on their and got some really strange responses that sound really shady? I've had one or two in the past when I posted some of my strays, but they usually said they were from a different country.
this time they jazzed it up a little to sound slightly more inviting.... but:

""*** I want to adopt your pet as part of my family *** Hello Friend. I'm very much interested in adopting your pet to my humble home as a companion. I'm us citizen. I live at delray beach FL, but presently in ontario canada to accept a job offer with the american christain missionary as a clerk. I'm happily married with a kid. I want to re-home your pet as part of my family. I lost my most adorable pet some couple of days ago on the way to the Vet clinic, the tragedy was so painful for me to bear as a pet lover,so i need yours in replace to minimise the lost. I assure you a 100% loving forever home for your pet and i want you to consider the pet sold to a petlover. Pls, briefly tell me these: adoption fees,mode of feeding, present health condition, breed, and pic if available. I have a recommendable and reliable pet transporter that will come for the pick-up right from your home. "means you don't need to drive the pet to any where". So i urge you to contact the pet shipping company at (pets_transporter@fastermail.com)I wait to hear back from you so that i can inform my TRUSTEE in the state to issue out the payment in time.As for the payment, you have to forward your name,address and your phone number for payment. A certified "MO" will be issue on your behalf which'll cover the adoption fees + $50 as reward offer for the up bringing of the pet + the shipping fees. I wait to hear back from you at you earliest convinient time.""

Where do theses people come from, and do people really give their pets up to them?

seems right along the same lines as the bazillionaire in Nigeria who wants to share his wealth with you as long as you open a bank account, blah blah blah.
