John, you are so GREAT at exposing photo theft/scams! Thank you!

Good catch. He replied to my email inquiry with the following email starting from the bottom with the price and pictures. I replied to his email just to mess with him.

huge stainless steel if you want it so.I am very happy to know you are
willing to have my pythons as part of you.I wish to know if you are
taking all three of them ? if not let me know the python you will
choose for me to make arrangement to send to you.Like i earlier

No, that's not a clear photo theft and scam.

"If you will please send to me a cheque in the amount of $5000.00 to have my trained. friendly pythons as part of you, I will then insert into your bank a checque for the balance herewith for my heart, and a huge stainless steel cage, and your much attention and love, notwithstanding remittable love and your much attention, my dear."

And yes, the stainless steel cage is suitable for infidels. More

You're both great!

Team effort my friend, some sharp-eyed members reported the posts as suspicious.

What a di*k he even asked which one you wanted. Good catch!!!!!! Thank you

I wish they would quit calling me "Dear."
Here's a follow up to the earlier email starting from the bottom up. Enjoy!

be that of the president ? I do not understand what you are getting
at.Why are you actually and what do you want.I am just looking for a
loving and caring home for my pythons.I need you to explain yourself
to me why your address should be that of the present of our
country.Please let me know your respond.
