What's the deal with "African-based" breeders?

[RyanT]

I see a few ads for very low priced ball morphs from breeders in Africa. Being that they're not asking for a lot of money at all, (like $80 for super pastels) it seems like they could possibly be legit, and not a scam like most foreign related offers. I'm not interested anyway, because I wouldn't feel like going through all the red tape of international shipping. But does anyone know if these guys are for real? Just seemed interesting for a minute when I saw it, so I figured I'd raise the topic.

They got Smart! They are breeding everything and anything over there.. If you see something new here for 8k. They have 10 more just waiting to unload as soon as they see interest in it. Times They are a Changing!!

There may be some legit ones, but don't be fooled. The scammers are as strong now as they ever were. I agree, they me be smarter, but still up to the same stuff.
