Alexander Jong from susanville?

Hi everyone,

Does anybody know Alexander Yong?

I'm new here. I recently(saturday) found this person selling centipedes and proceded to place an order of over $200. He hasn't sent me confirmation of shipment and is now ignoring my text mesages. Here is a link to his ad that I found.

I contacted him thru text on whatsapp and its been two day that I don't here anything about my centipedes or my money. I paid via western Union and obviously can't get a refund. He pick up the money with 30mins of me sending it.

beware to not buy from him. I will be filing a police report once I contact susanville police department unless I hear from him.

By the way, his list is almost the exact same as the list I found from tarantulaspiders.com website. Not sure if they are connected or he was just trying to resell the items from the website.

First, I fixed the URL:

https://groups.google.com/forum/m/#!...ia/9Jj1d3B3zss

Second, the ad is in "Forum Google Indonesia" which is a big red flag.

Third, is the guy's last name Jong or Yong?

thanks for the fix. and yes, i didnt notice it until it was too late. and his last name is Yong.

I guess I'm a big fool. My instinct was telling me it was a scam but i also wanted those centipedes for my son. I hope my mistake serves somebody.

Thanks for posting your experience.

Your response is exactly why scammers succeed. They throw off red flags left and right, so why do people fall for this junk? They fall for "but"... "I really wanted it". Really wanting it is what blinds folks to scams. You are not the first, you won't be the last.

On an insect forum, I can see another person this very moment trying to figure out if this seller is a scammer or not. Why can't they tell? They are blinded by their "wants".
