    Not promoting a scammer but identifying one. Let this be an example for all re: what types of scams are out there.

    Identifying a scammer is having the ability to actually identify him with a name, address, ID on specific forum, IP address etc, you have no info to provide so like I said the best thing to do at that point is to report it to the site in question.

    I could probably post 2 or 3 similar posts each day if I wanted to it would not really change anything unless I can provide reliable info.

    This is a cameroon scam nothing new there are tons out there some are not even posted they come directly to you email again not much that can be done except to remind people that is a deal is too good to be true then it is more than likely a scam.

    I intended no harm. Figured everyone would figure it out for what it is as well as get a chuckle on a Friday If you think this does harm, I suggest you or the appropriate moderator delete the thread.

    ESL - english as a second language

    If you think that someone in Chicago has a playful, obedient white BP that is spayed and vaccinated and weighs 75 lbs, 11 oz, and has a passport, then by all means, I'd encourage you to answer the ad.

    That's what I meant by ESL (English as second language) It's like the Nigerian scams. You should be able to pick up a scam by reading the descriptions. Like he said an obedient snake with vaccines, weights over 75 pounds, and has a passport? Not to mention the wording is bad............. SCAM

    I hope no one falls for this. Be careful everyone? If this ad was made to look more legit some of us ball python fans would be sending that jackass money. For example: Male ivory ball for $1,000 with correct looking details Frauds are out there! Jason Bowden --- someone needs to complain/report this!
