The first ad is most likely a scam

Does look a bit odd with few details or photos. Not sure what the scam would be though.

You probably have to pay upfront and they'll "courier them to you".

Ah simples. Didn't think of that as I'm pretty sure I wouldn't pay for an animal without seeing it first unless it was something like a goldfish from an online company. Shame as I'd love a Sully.

first ad is a business ad - perhaps a trader of some sort Just in in for the bucks as they say, probably don't belong to them personally, just goods for sale

No I wouldn't either. I may be wrong, but other than that I'm not sure how they scam. I've seen people saying about scams on gumtree and preloved but not really read I to them x
