Ad: 2022 CB Female Dumerils Boa, posted April 8, 2024 by Santa Cruz, name on account Brian Troy. $400 for snake, $350 for a T10.
Sent inquiry 8/17/24 as an ad reply.
I’m contacted through my email by a John Richard who offers the snake for $350 shipped, and sends me the original picture from the ad.
I question the different name, and am told this is his work mail. Syntax is off, dates on the emails are off by a day. That is, my emails sent today (Sunday 8/18 are date stamped as Monday 8/19).
This seems like a new scam, where the scammer trolls for people responding to an ad and hijacks the communication.
I’ve got screen shots of the original posting and the emails if someone wants them.
