I also responded to the post for the ivory female. 700g for $650 shipped.. too good a deal.. yup!
The seller called me and said he would send his fathers PayPal info in an email. When received I noticed the PayPal email address was a friends account Brian from Wildside in GA. I asked the seller if Brian was his father, he replied saying no, but he knew who Brian was. I called Brian and informed his of the situation. I called the seller to ask what going on and all of a sudden my cell phone was breaking up??
I have *just* spoken to Brian from Wildside after forwarding him the email between myself and the seller. He informed me that a “customer” in FL had ordered a female bumble bee and that his father in NC was going to pay for it via PayPal. Brian said after checking the email address we were both emailing the same person.
So it seems that the seller was looking for me to send payment for the ivory female to Brian and for Brian to think I was his father so he would be shipped the female bumble bee.
I call a scammer that has been caught.
