not really sure how to word this because i dont want to put any names on yet, basically had some enquiries for the citrus beardies ive been selling, from one particular person, loadsa emails but something, not sure what got me abit suspicious that its some sort of scammer.
so i traced the ip address from a couple of the emails and surprise surprise its tracing back to america,
anyone else had similar kind of problems???

yes i had an email from a young man in cameroon who I was very willing to kindly help out by receiving several thousand ugandan dollars into my bank account. It turned out he didnt really have any money and stole my dog instead.

Same thing really.

bear in mind that depending on what isp the person is with will determine where an IP trace says they are. If they are with AOL it will always say america for example. Simple answer is if they want your beardies cash on collection or they can pay you in cash before you send them. Nothing wrong with posting cash as long as they are aware it's at their risk.

I wouldn't name and shame until I was 100% sure it was a scam.
Why not post the messages/emails with names and email addresses removed to see what people think.
