I was recently contact via a WANTED ad I had placedin classifieds.
The ad was BALL PYTHONS Wanted.
I was contacted by a "Bih Shella" from the email address [email protected]
I was offered a bunch of animals (presumably ball pythons) from his 'Amusement Park/Recreational Area/Museum' .
He said he was receiving a new shipment, needed space, and would ship a bunch of animals out to me COD. i would simply have to pay $200 when receiving them, and then he would contact me about the animals and special pricing on them.
He made it seems like i should be jumping at this opportunity, since his animals would be greatly discounted.
The emails were signed,
Best regards
Director of Adverts
Mankon Park
I exaplained how I wasn't prepared to pay for a bunch of animals, could afford the $200 COD, but would first need to know an inventory list of the animals and their exact health/condition.
His response was that I should be pretty much lucky to get them and to make me feel better about it (this part is funny) I could FIRST send him half the $200, $100, upfront, and then pay the balance $100 when receiving them.
Kind of backwards you might say... LOL
So after emailing back a few times, I finally realized that he was in Cameroon, Africa. Nuff Said.

I could afford shipping of $200. I don't plan to have cash to pay for the animals afterwards. I was not prepared for this. What is it that you would want to send? How many?
I would require to know atleast the condition and health of these animals before even receiving them. Could you provide an inventory list?
What type of Park do you run - what type of animals do you have there and for what reasons?
I'd just like to know a little more of who and what i'm dealing with here.
Thanks much, Joe

Look,
We are running a park Called Mankon Park Its been one a half year now okay.We keep animals to sale out and also for recreational facilities.I know you were not prepared really.The strategy is this,when we opt to give out goods like that,its because we are awaiting stock of animals of which we donot see enough space okay.It is not that we are forcing the animals on you.To make the recent documents for the animals now,we neeed money and the client to take the animals supposed to pay for.We are having reptiles in their number,Some amphibians and birds.We also have a section of a museum.To make you rest assured,as concerns the $200.00 you could offer,send just $100.00 for the documents and paperworks to be arranged and you could offer the rest when you have even seen the goods.
This the director's Phone number 00(237)7586638
Thats all about what we could do as help now.Interested let us know for we have 5 shippings to the US tomorrow Friday which are general shipping days in cameroon.......
