Nice Try...

So I put an ad in my local CL to let people know that if they have hognose to sell that I'm interested in buying. Tonight at midnight I got this little gem of an email. Note the grammar and the fact that they found my 'local' ad, but at the same time do not seem to know where I'm located (St. Paul). Just as an added note it came from a gmail account. Not saying that there aren't good guys out there with gmail, but for some reason Cameroon scammers love gmail.


"i have two Hognose snake. both female. they are very healthy . i am giving
them out to a good home where they will be loved and well take care
of. I am located in el paso texas. where are you located? if far, can
you travel to pick up? if not, then i can send them to you using an
animal delivery company and you pay for their delivery fee.
what is your reason for adopting these Hognose snake.?

thanks and waiting for your reply."


Yes, yes, please let me send you 100$ for shipping through some non-refundable source. That sounds like a GREAT deal!

I say you send them a envelope with a $100 note of monopoly cash in it
