Your words not mine.


Because it doesn't exist.


Because scammers know there are people dumb enough to throw good money after bad.


Well isn't that just peachy keen swell of them! Never mind that there is no way they can stop you from taking legal action... though if you were truly dumb enough to send the money via Western Union to Cameroon then legally they're untouchable, and they know it.


Because this scammer is hoping... no, PRAYING... that you will be dumb enough to send another $200. Or even $100. Or $50. Anything you send to them is gravy. There are no pied ball pythons for sale. There never were.

Stop. Just stop. Do not send another dime. When you fall prey to these scams you are funding criminal enterprises in Africa. You know, the super nice folks that engage in piracy, child slavery and prostitution, weapons dealing, etc. They look at the US as cash cow to be exploited, nothing more.
Very important thing to keep in mind when they do these kinds of scams. However, piracy isn't that bad really if we're talking about downloading movies on your laptop. The oil rig stealing piracy though is definitely no bueno.
