Save Toby, my ass

Extortion is illegal where I live and despicable everywhere. This jerk is trying to make money by tricking people to pay him or he will eat his rabbit:



Toby is the cutest little bunny on the planet. Unfortunately, he will DIE on June 30th, 2005 if you don.t help. I rescued him several months ago. I found him under my porch, soaking wet, injured from what appeared to be an attack from an alley cat. I took him in, thinking he had no chance to live from his injuries, but miraculously, he recovered. I have since spent several months nursing him to health. Toby is a fighter, that.s for sure.
...
I don't want to eat Toby, he is my friend, and he has always been the most loving, adorable pet. However, God as my witness, I will devour this little guy unless I receive 50,000$ USD into my account from donations or purchase of merchandise.





support@savetoby.com or whoever he is, has hidden his identity with DomainsByProxy so there is no quick way to find out who he really is (not that I want to know the guy).


HelpToby.com tries to help by collecting funds but the whole story smells to me. SaveToby.com uses the hotmail account HelpToby@hotmail.com for PayPal payments which sounds suspiciously like it is related to HelpToby.com.


I wonder how many people will fall for this scam by July
(BTW, SaveMyKitten.com domain is still available if you want to try your luck)
