Beware>>> Prank>>>

I made an earlier post, but didn't really explain myself.
Last night at 2 in the morning my cell rang... So I answered thinking it would be some kind of emergency. The person on the other end said they were calling me about a snake I had for sell.
I said what snake, they said your Albino Motley. I was just thinking why the heck is this person calling me at two in the morning... This is when it got weird. They said is your snake cute... I said where did you get my number. They said your add on Kingsnake... I put my number on my add. So I just said well there are pictures on the add. They then asked me if I was in front of a computer. I said no it is two in the morning and that I was asleep. I said where are you calling from they said Salt Lake, which is where I am. This made it even more strange.
I said can I call you back... He said I am new to breeding and just put a web page up and was wondering if you would check it out. He said are you in front of a computer... I said no... Again I said I can call you back... He said just right down my URL and let me know what you think... He gave me the web page.
It was -----snake.com... I won't say what the first part of the URL was. After I hung up I felt real uneasy. Especially since he said he was in Salt Lake. I asked my wife for her phone cause she has the internet. It was a gay porn sight... I went back to my phone to see the number he called from.... It was
1-000-012-3456. I googled this number and I guess it is a call from a PC. A bunch of people had posts that people call for all kinds of reasons some skams some just praks from this number mostly after 11pm... Don't answer if you get a call from this number. After researching it I don't think the guy is really in Salt Lake... It is happening everywhere in the world. I pulled my add so this person couldn't call back. I guess I just won't put my number on my add. I will just give email and people can get my number that way... Who knows some people are sick...

Its pretty irritating how much crap normal people have to put up with from idiots with too much time on their hands.

I never put my number on my ads, The one time I did it seemed like all the crazies came out of the woodwork and started calling. I had one guy e-mail me about an animal awhile back and wanted to know if I could take some pix of the animal wearing a hat! I know Sharon Moore has some pix of snakes with hats on her site, so I am guessing this is where that idea came from.
