There are other potential "scams" when purchasing in person though, ranging from false hets to someone dumping critters that look outwardly healthy but the owner has a collection-killing disease ripping through his racks. So, you still have to be careful.

If a seller deletes an ad I wouldn't take it as a scammer, more like the the critter is no longer on the market.

You're right, of course. Sorry for the trouble, April.

I'm not a scammer man, but it's fine if you dont want to buy him. I have him posted again, and this website requires a real name. As you can probably see, my career actually requires a pretty massive online presence, so I am particularly safe lol.

Also, you agreed to meet me in person and pay cash on pickup when meeting him, in a public parking lot in front of a Rite Aid in a major city where I live. How on earth would I even be able to scam you?

In the world of CB Eastern Indigos, the world is small. I would stick with known reputable breeders, avoid paying for shipped animals from unknown users, local pickup is best, but I have still bought an animal that was not healthy, broken rib, and ultimately died. So inspect the animal, ask for history.

If its too good to be true then you should start doubting that.
