Since 50,000 other Ebayers received the same email, it must be legitimate. Just take the money and ship him a neighbor's dog, preferably the loud one that keeps you awake at night.

The funny thing is that he wants me to send the extra money to a doctor who is comeing all the way from Europe to the US to care for this imaginary puppy, who is not even sick, and who I don't have to sell!
