I can absolutely vouch that Ricardo Mancini is a scam artist. I fell for his scam of selling pied ball pythons for just the price it costs to ship them. When you attempt to buy from him, he will tell you that his wife died in a car accident, and that the snakes were hers and he no longer wants them. I paid him $230.00 and still have gotten no response from him since he received my payment. I found his ad on www.buyandsell.com and if you want to see the ad it is-

It was only until I had seen the ad on faunaclassifieds that I realized that I was scammed. I do have to agree with the person who posted it on there though, he is much more clever then the people from Africa. I have gone to the police, but unfortunately, I do not think that I will be seeing my money again. I actually only joined this site to post this, to hopefully help prevent someone from getting scammed as I did. Good luck to everyone.
