Chris and Melissa Faulkner

PayPal friends and family . I didn’t know the differents. This individual sent pictures explained about the animal . He even called me and spoke to me regarding the animal. He had a very deep southern accent and said his name was Chris Luckett. Even after he got my money he continued to keep somewhat in contact towards the evening hrs. Then 2 days later texted me a fake FedEx tracking number.

Please friends spread this message , so other people won’t be taken advantage of like I did . We all need to stick together this is a hobby that we all love and should have to worry about scum like that trolling threads looking for numbers or email addresses.

What PayPal address did you send it to?
What phone number did they use?
What email did they use?
Etc.

I originally sent the funds via PayPal”goods and services” to a pantherz66@yahoo.com. Chris then canceled it, and said use “friend and family” because of fees. This time he had me send the funds to rhinokeeper66@yahoo.com. The accounts name was a Melissa Faulkner instead of Chris Luckett. He said that was his wife and it’s ok. The phone number that was used was +1 (801) 407-9289‬, Chris had a very deep southern accent when I spoke to him on the phone .

Thank you Brandon for this information. Can you please help me understand why this person said he was originally approaching you? Even better, can you please copy and paste his very first communication to you. Was it by email, text or phone call?

If by email/text please paste those.
If by phone, what reason did he give for calling you out of the blue?
Make sense?

Lastly, did you get the impression, despite his "deep southern accent" that he was a fluent English speaker rather than a foreign scammer with broken English?

I realize this may feel like 20 questions, but it all helps. Thank you in advance.

It was a text message, then when he knew I was serious he called me. I don't know if this individual looks for members emails or phone numbers. But , he does know the hobby because he was able to answer questions, breeder info and pictures .
