Re: Someone's offering me a piedbald for $300... could it be a scam?
I got one of these from Kiiji...
First he had a pied for $300 in NY (says the ad). Then he says he needs to get rid of his collection (you have to buy all 10 of his pieds for $300 each). Then after I said, I'll pick it up, so where in NY to meet him? And then he said, oh, I will ship it to NY, but I can ship it anywhere. Then he mentions he has all the paperwork ready and CITES certificates. And so, I find out he's not in the US - he mentioned a place in Africa, can't remember the name. So then he makes out this spiel that he had to go to Africa for school and he brought all his snakes there... So, then we ask how are we gonna send him $3,000 then... and so then he says, give me your bank number... okay, so, if i'm sending HIM money, what would he need my bank number for... anyway, we kept it up for quite a while - like over 2 weeks - making it seem like we are ready to send him the money. So then, we ask for a picture of the 10 snakes all in one picture. Hah hah... no more replies...

Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming "WOO HOO what a ride!"
