MKGReptiles

I can't find a Red Roe Drive in Alexandria. Nor would I refer to my country of residence twice in my address unless I lived in, say, Nigeria.

Richard, it is possible (probable?) that a scammer texted you pretending to be the seller. Had you contacted the seller by any sort of secure, verified means such as private message?

Just by that phone number on there That’s how we text and called

You may do well to PM the seller -- then you at least know you're talking to the person you think you are.

That phone number is the the number he texted and call from. He told me he was in Tennessee. He was telling me about all the reptiles he was selling and sent me pictures of some of them. I don’t know. I know to be more careful next time. I reported it to my back so I will get my money back. But just sucks that there’s people out there doing that kind of stuff

Under monitors he has a ad that he is selling a white throat Monitor from Tennessee that’s how I got in contact with him

Agreed. It would suck more, though, to put blame on some decent person in TN when the scammer is someone overseas, who has no reptiles at all.

I've PMed the seller about this thread.

Richard, in that thread you listed your phone number for anyone to text. I'm trying to confirm that you were actually in contact with MKGreptiles, rather than someone posing as such.

Ok yeah let me know. I send a message also to them and he contact me on my phone number

I pmed yesterday, no reply.

If 503-455-4278 is the phone number that the seller used, it is likely bogus. 503 area code is Oregon, not Tennessee. And that email address, "belgian074@gmail,com" brings up nothing in a search except a now cached Fauna post from 1-3-2020.

I couldn't get a screen shot of the cached post, but here is the text I was able to copy:

Cullindag
Rita Belcher is a scammer they are using the phone number (206)4625956 and email Belgian074@gmail.com Beware"

Evidently, this Fauna "Cullindag" user was looking for particular turtles and this "Rita Belcher" person must have emailed him/her trying to sell, hence the follow-up scammer post with the same email as MKGreptiles. Note this was not an old post, but was cached nonetheless. I found it when searching the email address,"belgian074@gmail".

Just sayin'
