On craigslist etc. never give out your full name or address for ANYTHING. there are so many scams out there is scary.

Didnt mean to bust your bubble, I know you are probably excited to get your hands on a pied for so cheap, but dont be quick to give your info out.

Yeah. The little red flag was already up and my bubble kind of burst yesterday. Thanks. :)

Since I can be a real pain :rolleyes: I would ask him what he means by

food stuff that will enable to piebald for about 1 months

that should be funny.

While I am sure it is a scam ask him pictures of the animals on today's paper ;), HIS precise location and tell him you will meet him in person.

At that point he will either answer like a politician avoiding to answer, disappear or tell you they are sold.

wait.. he did give me his number a day ago

"0023774846317"

That's not a texas number.... o.o

duh....................

In the pictures, those are 3 different pieds, and the info cards, have no info and where edited by a computer and a red pen, and have no actual info on them................fishy.....equals SCAM to me

,Shipping is not 100$,those people who take 100$ for shipping are not for real Ok, I am also shipping the piebald with a free transporting box,food stuff that will enable to piebald for about 1 months so that is why i am asking you 300$ Ok,So below are some pictures of piebald,

This is just like all the other scammers I come across.. I don't see how they can fool anyone, but I guess they do.

I guess I was scammed when I spent under $100 to have one of my Beardies shipped to me.. blast.

So what he's saying is that since he is including food for one month, it will cost $300?

Lol. He keeps dropping the price and asking me for my info. xD He's getting less and less believable every single time. It's funny.

The first mails were a little believable, But even I can see it's a scam now. I'm not THAT dumb. :P I made the board after the first mail.. lol

To be honest its because alot of people are unable to smell a scam and to quick to jump on a good "deal".Thats how they are still running the scams.If people would use common sense that god gave them these scum scammers would dry up and die.:mad:
