Andrew Torres (or Andres Torres) [INQUIRY]

Anyone done business with this guy? He's located in League City, Texas.

He has asked me to hold a snake, but did not pay for it when he said he would (but is only one day late, and knows it won't be held after that time). He said his name is Andres Torres. I don't know any more than that. I can't really say anything especially good or bad about him at this time - sorry.

Some info that may be important to some people.

• The guy placed two orders with me, totalling around $12,000. Payment was by credit card (same number for both orders) which when ran through my machine, showed as being an invalid account number. Since the same number was used in two different transactions, it would appear that the number used was not accidentally typed in incorrectly.
• He has variously signed his name in emails as both "Andrew T." and "Andres T." From what I can gather, his real first name is actually "John". Matter of fact, in several instances it appeared that more than one person was responding to my emails.

My belief and opinion is that I was looking at an attempted scam, and that's how I played it. Your mileage may vary, but I strongly suggest you take all reasonable and prudent precautions concerning payment for anything shipped to this person. He may very well be legit but not familiar with typical protocols in transactions like this. Maybe..... But in my opinion anyone who uses invalid credit card info to place an order should be treated as HIGHLY suspect.
