whats with this.....

While recently shopping for a new cat I quickly found that nearly all of the ads on gumtree that went along those lines were scams. Not saying the reptile related ones are, but they could be.

Not sure why it went that way with cats, maybe it is designed as a way to explain why the person is getting rid of a perfectly fine pet for way below normal price. They usually end up not being in the state they originally mentioned and that they will need some money paid upfront so they can afford to send the animal to you.

Again, not necessarily what is going on here but I have noticed its a trend on classified sites like gumtree.

I've always adopted my cats so can't really comment on these scams but even though I have bought lots of things off there, I am always wary how dodgey Scumtree can be.
