Anyone heard of Edward Billy?

OK everyone I was contacted from this person today regarding my salmon hypos I have listed under the boa section. He says he is from London England. Has anyone ever dealt with him? How was the experience? Something just doesn't seem right. He is looking for 4 of my babies and said he would set up shipping? since i am in Ohio. I am just looking for experiences good bad or ugly.

Thanks
John Smith

When he contacted you did he want you to accept a check and give the rest to his shipper? Beware of the Nigerian scammers as they are back heavily again .

This was the second email I recieved from him. Does anyone in the UK know this person or this buisness? I am just trying to ask if anyone has done buisness with him. thanks

Its the Nigerian scammers trying to rip you off .Tell him to send you the check and have your bank check it out.It will be worthless no doubt

The wording screams scam to me.

How many people do you know who use the word 'kindly?' That is always a dead give-away for a Nigerian scammer. Second to that, is the use of the term 'final price.' Run now-and quickly.

Just for kicks, have him send you a check....you'll get an e-mail almost immediately that his "contact" sent too much and he needs you to deposit the check and wire him the balance....if you actually did this, it would take a few days to find out the check's a fake, and you'll be out the $$.

Report him to KS...they will promptly do nothing....then call your local FBI office (mine was in Newark, NJ)....they will also promptly do nothing.....bang head on desk.

This all started yesterday and I just wanted everyones input I will wait for the next set of emails I get from him and go from there. I am new to the hobby by 3 yrs or so and definately new to having babies. (first litter) Just not looking to get screwwed is all.

SCAM..... I would not waste my time emiling him back and forth...

It's a scam there is no doubt.
