Visual Piebald for $400

I wish I was kidding I get them from time to time. Its really sad.

Definitely a scam, I've seen those pictures before.

There are similar ones for every animal that people want: yorkshire terrier pups, african grey chicks, you name it. They're all "free" but come with this incredible shipping cost that you have to ship to another country (usually africa). It's the animal lovers' Nigeria scam.

In other words, run - and don't look back.

You forgot to mention Russian Brides:rofl:... It took us days on another forum to convince this guy that it was not the beautiful blonde in the pics that was emailing him asking for money for a plane ticket. :rolleyes:

Oh wow! I didn't realize it was THAT bad. That's kinda dumb though, in my opinion, because in my observation, people who know enough about bp's to know how much a pied cost know enough to look for reputable breeders. Unless you're some teen-ager but even then I doubt mommy would just hand over 1600 bucks without further investigation.

wow thats insane, you would think that most people who would shell over 400dollars for a snake would know what they are worth. And send up a red flag that something is not right here. But obviously there are stupid people out there who are willing to pay them because if it doesnt work why still being doing it.:mad:

I have seen the same scams from Africa and China. Its bad enough people in the good ole USA may rip you off, dont send $ out of the country.
If it looks too good to be true, it is!

I had a buddy who was selling a truck and someone was gonna send him a $ order for more($3,000) than he was asking and then he was to send back the balance. I stopped him after explaining to him it is a scam. At first he didnt want to listen, he thought I was paranoid and raining on his parade but I was persistent.

By the time the bank realizes the money order is no good(forgery) and zings you for the $ they have your cash, goods and are gone. I get the same thing requesting to buy one of my reptiles.

When you run adds you get emails with all kinds of scams, once you have seen a few they are pretty obvious.

Now seriously

Sadly broken english + africa + low tempting price = SCAM

Also bad spelling + Dayton Ohio + Trade offers = Be very careful it could be a scam (Couldn't help on that one)
