Hi,
I'm seeking an experienced,dedicated Petsitter/Walker to watch my Dog
[German Shepherd ] Mike Mondays-Fridays.I'm flexible with start
time,but preferably between 3PM to 4PM,at least a minimum of 1hrs
daily. The services would start towards the beginning of April
precisely
9th and would stretch for 2months.What's your precise location so I
could see how close it is to my rented apartment . I immediately await
your response.Send me updated resumes and
references for review via smithpetfriend@gmail.com
Thanks
Alan Smith

P.S: petsits.com recommended you as one of the best pet sitter,hence
the reason I contacted you

I got a copy of this one also. They ask questions just to get you distracted. They don't do anything with your location. But I bet if you gave an address in another state, they'd be only 2 miles from it!

I'm sure if you respond he is going to send you payment in full up front plus a couple of grand extra and you can keep more than your bill amount if you will just deposit the check/money order and forward the rest to him via western union.

These are so easy to spot because they never read the way we actually talk! You would think they would hire a consultant over here to rewrite the messages so they flow the way we talk..now there is an income opportunity!
