Scams selling or giving away non-existent animals, often Puppy Scams.

Hello Everyone:

I have an exotic pets website ([<removed> MW where individuals can place free ads for various exotic pets. I do not want to charge people to place ads but I am spending a ton of time on these damn spammers from Cameroon. It is so much wasted time.

I have installed a captcha system but that doesn't stop human spammers. I tried looking into banning an IP address from a specific country, but it is beyond my technical capabilities. Anyone have any other suggestions?

Is it even worth the added time to post these scammers and their emails here?

Thanks for the help.

Welcome to Scamwarners. These scam artists will exploit any free web service they can find.

I am sending you a PM

It is ALWAYS a scam
If the pet seller or shipper asks for money to be sent via Western Union, Money Gram, any brand of gift card. Walmart To Walmart , Zelle , PayPal friends and family option, or mentions Cameroon
