I know this isnt the best example but I also know there are some breeders and hobbiests out there that would stop at nothing. Its like how many people will protect & defend their pets just as harshly as they would their own family or house. I know I would..
At least the number seems to match the name. Not a very smart crook if thats what he is but then again, not many smart crooks are there..
You can try a reverse lookup on the number. I know id be paying them a visit. In a case like this id be prepared to hire a small time PI in his area just to tell me if he does in fact own any snakes. I dont care that its just a snake. It was MY snake and not yours to do with what you pleased..
Thats how id feel in your shoes. Keep us updated. Try to get more info. The more people put up a fight when people do this to them, the less scammers we will have out there. Too many people just count their losses and say "oh well".. Which only fuels the fire.
