Sellers BEWARE!!

[CD CONSTRICTORS]

So.... I've had some snakes on KS for a few weeks now. I have been getting inquiries on all of them.

One "buyer" seemed quite interested in purchasing one of them, and said he was sending a USPS MO. Today he called me and asked me if I got the MO so I could take it to the bank and deposit it and ship the snake tomorrow. I wasn't home to see if it had arrived and said I would get back with him.

I arrived home to find an overnight FedEx envelope. Upon opening the envelope, the MO did just not look right. No perforated edges at the top where you tear the receipt off, etc.... AND- it was dated a month before I had put the snake on KS for sale!!

Knowing it was fake, I took the MO to the local USPS. They confirmed what I already knew... it was a fake. The clerk took the MO and the envelope in the back to send it to the Post Master general for fingerprinting. The clerk recommended not to ever deposit a MO in your bank. Even if it is fake, it will generally clear and then be charged back to you once it hits the USPS and they see it is a fake. Any bank can call in the serial number on a real USPS MO and cash it on the spot instead of depositing it, or you can take it to the USPS to cash it.

Just providing this info to prevent others from potentially getting scammed. Fortunately I did not ship the snake before confirming the MO was real or fake.

The scammers name on the MO was Rob Rew from Louisiana. On the phone he said his name was Chris Mink. He used a few different phone numbers, so watch for any of these numbers....
