If you want to buy an exotic animal over the Internet and the person said they will send them via courier then you must always ask which courier they will be using and if they tell you look it up and also ask them for its website because scammers always make up courier services. I was almost caught by someone who said they are using a courier service called pet air transportation service, I then asked them for the places website and I haven't heard from them since. I would have lost R2000 if i hadn't asked them for the website so be wary and be careful because a lot of people get scammed buying animals especially exotic ones. The common mistake they make is sometimes they for instance write the address and the postal code and when you go on google maps it sais it doesn't exist or there is an error in the address. E.g. Our Farm is based in 24 Meintjeis Str, Middleburg, Eastern Cape, 5600 and when you google map it the 5600 should have been 5900 and that it isn't even a farm but a small hotel with B&B.
If you for instance ask them if whatever it is you want is still available most scammers will cut to the chase by asking for these:
your full names........
province..........
contact details.......
physical address.......
post code.............
Nearest air port to your location.
ect.
Sorry I don't have an example, I really wanted to show you all an example but I deleted them when I found out they were scams>
