Re: Is this a scam??
Thats where they operate apparently. When they finally told me they were sending the dog (hadnt paid yet) they came out of nowhere and said it was in cameroon and to go to the nearest bank of the west and send them the money to get it on the plane. i just said no thanks and left it at that.

Re: Is this a scam??
it just acted weird for me too, not sure what's up, but I've noticed that happens on other boards powered by v-bulletin sometimes as well.

Re: Is this a scam??
ya, it looks like these scam artists are using the redleaf classifieds regularily. I have answered a couple other ads SPECIFYING that I am only interested in snakes that are physically IN north america. They still write back with why thier snake is in some island paradise.
The last one was apparently a christian missionary who could no longer take care of her 2 high white piebald snakes.

Re: Is this a scam??
The Christian missionary line is quite popular with the scammers these days.
