Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

The photographed scorpion does not look like any Androctonus species I've ever seen. And I've seen plenty.

exactly bobtard!
regardless if it was togolensis....phil himself said he didn't have any!!
but you are correct.....the picture that was provided to me from Jeremy as well as sent to other potential buyers is hottentotta hottentotta. i currently have a handful of them...a few with babies on their backs. it is clearly not any androctonus species.
but honestly...that doesn't overly matter because phil admitted he doesn't have togolensis.
heres my thoughts (THIS IS ME ASSUMING but a pretty educated assumption):
1) phil told me on arachnoboards that the togolensis turned out to be more hottentotta.
2) knowing he couldn't post on arachnoboards as togolensis (because i would see it immediately), he contacted his employee or friend Jeremy to sell them on a facebook classified group to avoid detection.
3) once i contacted phil and started asking question about them still being listed, the FB add was removed.
4) when i contacted Jeremy about available scorpions, he had no idea who i was at that time. i was a random guy to him.
5) phil finds out a guy names rowdy kent is asking about togolensis on facebook, he puts two and two together and realizes I'm the guy he told he didn't have any to begin with.
alas....busted scam attempt!

Question: One of the names listed on the title of your thread is Phil Robbins. There is a Miamicracker presently selling hottentots here on Fauna but the name is Phill Rob. Are they one and the same? If so, what is the actual true name of this person??

i havnt seen what the add you are referring to but i would assume that's the same person. Phil was what he told me, and Jeremy told me his name is Phil Robbins. since you say its miamicracker...its got to be the same guy.

I'm the only person (to my knowledge) that originally talked to phil in a private message on arachnoboards about the togolensis.
arachnoboards is one of the main places people buy and sell inverts. he started a thread in the scorpion section asking for identification of togolensis...for which he was unsuccessful due to the very limited knowledge worldwide of togolensis. (yes they are that rare).
i find it EXTREMELY suspect that he chose to use the discussion thread on arachnoboards but not post in the classifieds (where i was pm'ing him). yet he and/or Jeremy chose to post them on a facebook group classified that they knew i wasn't a member of. once i started asking questions about togolensis to Jeremy and then telling phil that togolensis are being offered for sale, i then "liked" the facebook group classified page and then they removed the add totally.
am i the only one that thinks that is super suspect and basically an admission of guilt??
maybe i am crazy but it sure makes a lot of sense to me. lol.

That concerns me. If it is the same person, then one of the names is fake. And what that means, is that when an innocent buyer sees one of his ads here and clicks on the BOI icon that is placed below ads here on Fauna, this thread will not come up. Whether that is intentional evasion or not, in my opinion, using a fake name is a red flag.

So Phil has an account here and surely must be aware of this thread, being Jeremy's "invertebrates manager". I'm sure he had a good reason for not chiming in here (wink, wink).

For the record, here is the ad. I have removed it for failure to comply with the full name rule.
