Too good to be true?

**charliegirl** · 03-18-2009, 10:57 AM

I am in search for a piebald & emailed this person back about their ad on the internet & received this email back from them:

Hello and thanks for the mail. I am a breeder and seller of pythons
located in Bimingham UK. I have morphs of different species.
They are all veterinary checked and have upto date health records.
They are transported in styro boxes well heated in winter and well ventilated
in summer via Bimingham International Airport for it takes only a maximum of 6-9 hours flight to get to your location.

High white male piebalds cost................$435
High white female piebalds cost..............$450
Low white male piebalds cost.................$400
Low white female piebalds cost...............$410

below are some few photos of the both high and low white piebalds,some of them are 6months and 8months old piebalds, the low white piebalds weight 76 gram and the high white piebalds weight 78 gram, so which of them will take?????

Greetings

That was their email in its entirety. (There were no pics attached.) What do you guys think? Too good to be true? Scam?

**southb** · 03-18-2009, 11:06 AM

Thats got scam wrote all over it.........

**LadyOhh** · 03-18-2009, 11:07 AM

If the person is international, and the outline of the e-mail is like that, with incorrect grammar, it is absolutely a scam.

**southb** · 03-18-2009, 11:09 AM

Heck if you order one put in an order for the $25 clown they are selling lol.

**charliegirl** · 03-18-2009, 11:14 AM

I had a feeling it was, but wanted to get your opinions as you all are much more qualified than I am. Right now, I am a ball python owner wannabe! Will change that soon, but not with that "breeder".

Unless there is any way to physically verify that the seller actually does have these snake for sale, which is highly unlikely since you live so far ways, I would not buy them. It is most likely a scam.

you should ask for a pic of the piebalds on a current dated newspaper just to see if they will send one.
