    You know what they say about something that look to good to be true?

    Can you imagine and egg being shipped (box being dropped, turned upside down etc)?

    What a scammer hopes is that someone will be desperate enough to take a chance on something they might not otherwise be able to afford.

    Yeah, I wouldn't go for that. As was already mentioned, eggs being shipped would probably get damaged anyway. And why would someone sell a morph they could sell for hundreds (or thousands) for $40 when they only have to wait for it to hatch?

    Tell him "As I currently in Nigeria, I'm sending my driver to meet you at a predetermined location that is secure for both of you. And he will have a cashiers check made out for $500 higher than the purchase price, seeing as the last deal suddenly fell through. And all that will be needed to have everything go smoothly is for him to have the eggs and $500 cash to cover the difference."

    Key word of this is "claims". If he's remotely legit, he'll want to make sure they even hatch instead of being transported via mail in a box. Like deborah says, you know what they say about things being too good to be true. Another red flag should also be the fact that he says he has every morph available in egg form. sketchy!

    I smell a SCAM! Where did you even find an add like that? I don't think I've ever heard of anyone shipping BP eggs before. Don't do it!
