    Yeah sounds like his buddy wants to get to Florida but doesn't have the cash. Plus GIVING away "14 pieds" is just ludicrous. They could get a lot more money out of it if they sold them, there's no way they can't know that.

    The cheapest flight I ever got was a $99 round-trip to Atlanta back in '08. But after all the fees and stuff, it was more like $250-300.

    They're not - AND, it's not legal to carry the snakes on the plane with them anyway.

    If it's too good to be true is definitely in play here.

    I was texting back and forth with him for 2 days he said he would ship me 10 pieds for 50$ and it would be 8 females and 2 males. So I wanted to know what the agency was that he was shipping with. He said American airlines. He said he,went to register them I'n,my name. and,that they would be shipped as soon as my payment is,sent. I asked,where to send payment to he,said Cameroon,Africa through,western union he said they had a,new branch there. So I called American airlines and,they said they had never had a branch in Africa. So I told him about this. He said it was a fake #. So I asked him to call me to try and get this sorted,out. Then he said he was deaf and that I was a wicked person,and that apparently,I don't want the babies and if he had to pick tgem up from the agency then I would never get them. After that I went of on him and I traced his phone # and got his adress. I have proof through text on my phone. People like him give a bad name to us good business men and women!
