Possible Scam Artist
On 1/28/2020 I posted a wanted ad in the amphibians classifieds searching for Chacophrys pierottii. On 1/29/2020 at 7:21am I received an email from “Rita Belcher” (belgian047@gmail.com) staring they had a few available and will send over photos. I responded telling them what I was looking for and asking how much. The seller responded with $55 each plus shipping, and asked for a zip code to calculate shipping costs. Shipping came out to be $55, so the grand total is $110 shipped.
After agreeing with the pricing, I asked for photos before I purchase. After receiving photos, I recognized them from Instagram. The Instagram post (in photos) was posted by someone in Korea on December 20, 2019.
I contacted the seller asking if they were importing this animal, and if this account belong to them. Disregarding my questions they responded “yes they are CBB.”
I’m posting this to warn others of this person that is possibly using fake photos to scam people out of money.
