Scam or just incompetent backyard breeder??

the language and typing is in my opinion a nigerian or cameroon scammer, maybe using a ip address changer

they always bless the lord and use the word soonest way too much

why dont you say your willing to pay via western union then send a fake money transfer number to them, that way they will need to travel ( a long way ) to a western union shop and then give them a premium rate telephone number as your contact details, ringing one of those from a payphone in the middle of nigeria is gonna cost a few quid :) which they will do once they realise the money transfer number is wrong

you can string them along for ages as a lesson
 
This is some correspondence I've been dealing with today.. nearly all scammers.. see below..

this is the reply i got when i asked if I can pick them up since he is based in Durham. He replied (see below


From Christian: ok then great,
call me now at 07031867570
as we shall be making a trip to Glasgow okay so call me so that we can talk about this before i travel with my family.
I saw the following pics on this website http://www.tylandssavannah.co.uk/f4 kittens.html if you scroll down the 2nd one down is the same. and the last two pics are from an american website based in US a legitimate breeder. Please dont call them as it will probably charge you ridiculous amount of money and its part of the scam. if you wont pay for the shipment then you'll pay for the call...

if you are looking to adopt or purchase, I came across those scammers on this website:

http://www.pets4homes.co.uk/

they are offering free adoption but charge in shipping fees plus you need to call them too, which can charge you x amount of money.

I read someplace recently that scammers intentionally use poor English to help weed out people too intelligent for their scam (which would waste their time). It's crazy how often that's the easy way to weed them out.

Also, ones wasted time, will help another one. If more people are coming across those scammers, those who have no idea have a better chance :) so nothing intelligent there :)
