To good to be true usually is

[rabernet]

First off hello ! long time lurker first time poster

i recently received an email from a breader who said they have a piebald they are trying to find a home for, they are not asking any $ for the snake at all only shipping costs.
(apparently he does not have enough time anymore)

at first i wanted to jump all over it, but ive learned that things to good to be true usually are.. especially with a snake that could sell for $1000+

just curious if this sounds like any type of scam that you have heard of before.
thanks in advanced

Yes, it sounds exactly like an African scam. They'll ask you to Western Union some money to cover shipping and paperwork.
