Just having a browse the other day and came across lots and lots of monkeys for sale !! All around the same price , in fact there is one for sale just a mile away from me !! Obviously this is some sort of scam ? I cant believe that lots of folk have little pet monkey's for sale? How do they work this one then ? ..The one thats a mile away couldnt ask me to send the money because i could be there in 10 mins to pay for one and collect it ..(no im not going too!) I havent been brave enough to ring , because i dont want to get dragged into a scam ..but its got to be ?

If this is for real (meaning, they are selling live Monkeys) Id all the RSPCA or the Police. A number species of Monkeys are illegal to keep. Doubt his is a scam, more like an illegal trade that needs smashing.
Do you have an email address, I'd like to see what they are selling?Please do not feed the Trolls!0 -
Just google monkeys for sale .. there are so many of them ! I dont think its an illegal trade , i think its a scam tbh ..there are so many of them !
(in fact try putting..monkeys for sale in your area ..eg lancs , yorks , etc and i bet theres something comes up not to far away ..its got to be a scam )0 -

Yes I'm bored!
I done the google search and this is what I found by someone in my local area, it was posted on a forum. They are talhing about a Capuchin Monkey:
Be carefull i just allmost got stung out of good money, they will say it needs flying to you and you will get an email from someone claiming to be swis air with flight details and where to make payment DO NOT PAY ITS A SCAM we checked with our local airport and the flight number was actually going to zurich , we then called the number given for swiss air and they knew everything and said our monkey was there waiting and will be sent upon payment (we only gave our name) and there was no one else to talk too
PLEASE DONT GET CAUGHT
:mad:Give a person a fish and you feed them for a day; teach that person touse the Internet and they won't bother you for weeks.:D0 -
