Reptile & Amphibian Forums

I get them from time to time, Clearly english as a second language (sometimes very poorly worded) and offering animals and insects etc. from around the world. I never reply, just laugh. I assume they surf and find reptile, animal and/or insect related sites and are trying to drum up business?? Or is this another scam?

LOL, to many snakes to list, last count:
26.49 BRB
20.21 BCI
And those are only the breeders

lots.lots.lots feeder mice and rats

I was cruising the web and inquired about an exporter in South America, I gave them my e-mail address and since then have been getting request to buy and sell animals around the world.

They actually address me as my e-mail name and it is always very broken english, one of them even tried to have me send money and they would pay it back...

I assume now that if someone like that is contacting me and I did not ask them to, it's a scam!

Fun stuff.
