Perpetrator of "FAKE" Cashiers Check Scam!
BEWARE OF THESE TRAPS:
MY RESPONSES TO FAKE CASHIERS CHECK VIA INTERNATIONAL FEDEX below:
Sent Response to Mr King after getting delivery of the Fake Cashiers Check on March 31, 2006 delivered to my door at 11:05 am by Fedex. After depositing check at our bank, I was then alerted to the scam by a gentlemen on the Kingsnake.com in the middle of the same scam with the same Mr. King!
Since then I have been made aware of at least a half dozen herpers that are involved with someone trying to purchase their reptiles of the Internet.
Sent to Mr. King : March 31, 2006
Mr. King
The check took so long to arrive we had already sold the pair. Since our reptile company would like to further our business ties with a gentlemen of "means" such as yourself that has a keen interest in rare reptiles and mammals, our company will issue you a refund check drawn on our bank for the funds transferred via the cashiers check.
Sorry for the miscommunication.
Let us know in the future if we can help you procure possibly a hand-raised ring-tailed Lemurs (legal with papers) , or other exotics for your pleasure. We know that men of wealth often endeavour to assemble a rare zoo for their pleasure as well as for their associates. We hope to be the company that helps you build this rare zoo for your pleasure.
Thank you

OOPS: I forgot to tell him about my "restock" fee, to recover my time and effort on this deal!
Sent:This morning - April 2, 2006 - waiting for a reply.
Mr. King,
We will send out a check for a refund but we have 200.00 fee for this re-stock, we have another 1.1 we can send but not the ones you originally purchased. Or possibly you would be interested in some other Kingsnakes for your purchase. We may have a zoo raised (legal) hippopotamus coming in within the month?
Please have Shawn purchase and send only a United States Postal Money-Order to me and I can then refund your money with a company check.
Thanks
wlamore
P.S. we will be out of town skiing in Aspen until Wednesday.
Thanks again
