Pachydactylus Rugosus Scam Warning

[Uroplatus80]

I Ran across a classified on the reptile geeks forums advertising P. Rugosus pairs.when I contacted them via email they said they were only 100 dollars for the pair (first warning) and the pictures they sent me were taken off of a geckos unlimited post.................
Stay away from the email address Lizzy cole.
Just a heads up.
unbelievable how these scam artists pick the most insane rare things to try and sell for such a low price.
Sooooo weird.

Its the best way to do it. people will impulse buy from excitment and the thought that they just found those once in a lifetime deals.

I'm sure they got a couple of hundred already from that advertisment. Such a shame.

Thanks for the heads up. Like Joao said, when people think they've found a deal, sometimes they can't resist. I'm guilty of it myself. But, I usually try to buy from people that I'm familiar with, or when they can provide multiple pics of the same item I'm interested in buying.

rugosus for $100? Definitely too good to be true.

Good to have a heads up though.
