There are lots of small time hobby breeders (some you've probably never heard of) who sell quality animals for great prices because they don't have the big recognizable name, don't rely on the money for income, only deal locally therby limiting their customer base, etc...
Slowly re-read what I said:

If I can't phone up the breeder I'm working with, and I've never heard of them before, I'd run very quickly the other way.
More than likely, if it's a Cameroon scammer, I won't be able to phone them. If there's a new breeder I've never heard of, but I'm interested in an animal that they have, I'd like to be able to talk to them on the phone and get to know them a little better (especially if there's no feedback anywhere on them). If I can't call them, I'll pass.
