Monkey scam?

Asked by brucie_bree 11 months ago, 5 answers.

Do you think that terroist would lie about selling monkeys or anything just to have my address to kill? Because I am buying my boyfriend and monkey for christmas, and the monkeys free but I have to pay for the shipping and handeling. Well I looked up...

other peoples monkeys also and a lot of them say the exact same thing. So you think this could all be like some scam or something?

You should never expect to get anything for free. Don't you think it's kind of odd that all you have to pay is shipping and handling? Besides it's illegal to have a monkey imported into the US. They want your credit card information and since you're only 15 that would most likely mean that you are going to use your parents card...that would give your parents all kinds of trouble. Think this through before you do it...it's not a good idea.

are you retarded? you can't package and deliver a monkey by UPS. of course it's a scam you unfortunate mutant. they just want your credit card number so they can take it and run. duh. nobody is going to sell you a free monkey on the internet. and you're 15? god help me.

yes, it is a scam
and one that could turn out to be horribly dangerouse too
he just wants your details, either to scam you, or something else
once you give them out, he has them,
and he can give them to as many people as he wants
also, a monkey is not a pet
you and your boyfreind need to know that
hey cant send one in a package
and its illegal, if he even has one he illegally obtained it,
and is involved in crime and possibly a drug ring
buy buying it (even if you dont get it) your helping to support what there doing
and a monkey needs its jungle enviroment to survive
it cant live in a house, in a cage, ect
keeping one would be cruel
and youd just be killing it slowly
its not a pet like a cat or a dog
its a wild animal, it cant be domesticated
and it needs to stay in its natural enviroment
there is no monekey, its no free
exotic animals arnt free...and having a pet monkey is illegal unless you have alicense
and obtained it legally (which is rare to do)
if you dont want to get into huge trouble and possible get killed or go to jail
dont get him a monkey, keeping it would be cruel
either get him another pet or something thats not living
