I am not sure if any of you have received any emails similar but this is what i received

Quote:
Dear sir,


I'm exporting live animals from Tanzania.Here is a price list for some animals which I can deliver you.I'm preferring to deliver the animals through Airline,whereby you will received the animals in a good condition and in right time.

Please let me know once you feel is necessary to reduce a price.

and then a long list of animals for extremely cheap prices i have picked a couple out for you
Nile Monitor $ 20
Blue tree Lizards $ 3
Red headed rock lizards $3
Eastern tropical spiny lizards $3
Green Day Gecko-$5

there many more at much cheaper but the list is just to long.
i thought ill just tell everyone to be a bit careful.
Very Happy
MATT

never trust anyone emailing from Africa with promises of cheap animals or anything else come to think of it
