Petfinder.com why do I keep getting spam sounding emails with no interest in my animal?

I listed my animal on this website and have been receiving emails that look like spam, asking to adopt my 'pet'. None are specific and some have bad English and grammar, while others make more sense.

What's up? None of these requests for info look legit. Is it phishing?Petfinder.com why do I keep getting spam sounding emails with no interest in my animal?
Sounds like it.

A while ago I sold Avon. And somehow someone overseas (or so they said) got my email and wrote in poor english that they will buy $3000 (or some large amount like that) worth of stuff, but I needed to send it right away and he will put it on his credit card.

I definitely did not trust it. I wouldn't trust them if they sound fishy. But some might be true, idk. When I message people on PetFinder or Craigslist or anything, I make sure to type the specific item and day they posted it on the website.



I wouldn't trust giving your pet to someone that sounds creepy. Maybe email them more and see if they are serious. But if you get the wrong vibe, then don't do it.



My main advice is to stay away from them.

Good luck, hopefully you find your pet a loving home!
