    Do these pics belong to anyone you know
    There is a guy on craigslist in sacramento selling pieds for $200 ea shipped and sent me these pics. I know it is a scam, but i was just wondering if anyone knew who these pics really belonged to.
    And the person is going by the name Micheal Duffy mmilkyway_once@yahoo.com

    Well whats funny is that there is two different substrates being used in the pics. which to me indicates false advertisement!

    Hi,

    Could the substrate in this one be the compressed newspaper pellets Kara talked about trying?

    I emailed him back and said that i would be more than willing to come and pick them up. The guy replied that he was sorry he thought he already told me that he had relocated the animals to Africa.

    relocated them to Africa... NICE :rolleyes: What? to set them free in the Mother Land?...

    Can't you report someone to the Craigslist staff or something?

    That's just crazy! Good call to post the pics! Heather (LadyOh) saw some of Raptures pics being used on another forum, represented as someone else's.... True story!

    I talked to the same guy...he sent the same photos....and said I could HAVE the snakes if I only pay for the shipping...

    I told him I would LOVE to believe him but there are just so many people trying to get money....though I KNEW he was not one of them :P

    so I asked him to prove he was real by snapping a photo of him with a sign that said BP.NET :rofl:

    He said he did not have a camera....riiiiight....so how did you take the photos of the snakes I asked....

    He said he would try to get my photos....it's been two weeks, I email the scammer everyday for the photos of him with the BP.NET sign...

    :rofl:

    Good thinking! Asking for the BP.net sign. I've also seen suggestions that ppl should ask for the current ("today's") local paper under/next to the snake w/the date visible, too.

    "Dear Sir / Madam" I am poor Ethiopian president's wife's cousin with money in bank I can't clame without your help"

    Yeah, yeah, yeah.:mad:
