Anyone dealt with forceknight0

Here is their profile page http://www.faunaclassifieds.com/foru...r.php?u=144261
They said they are from NV but here it says Beijing for location.
Here is the email address arlenmartines2016@gmail.com

They contacted me about buying some hognose snakes and I just wanted to check things out before committing to a deal.

I'm fairly certain this is the same person or at least they share an email address.?

Jason - It appears the two accounts are linked, both China & Las Vegas.

Arlenmartines2016@mail.com
Not a direct match, but most likely this person:
Arlen Martines = Qiusheng Zhangqi or Qiusheng Zhang

Facebook page appears to be legit & support their interest in hognose snakes too. Good luck

After going back and forth through text, they have no references and will not send me any proof of identification. I'm not willing to risk a 3500.00 - 4k on that.

Again, I have nothing bad to say about them but I'm not risking it. Thanks Robert!

That is more than understandable, probably the best move.

He has bought some snakes from me recently. I shipped to him in Las Vegas on 5-30-17 and had no problems once so ever. He is new to the hobby and trying to get breed stock.
His purchase from us was considerably smaller than yours but I would sell to him again with no worries.

Thanks for the input Sam. When I asked for references or purchase history, they did not provide any information.

That is why I try to rate or comment (BOI) on everyone I deal with.

If you're concerned about payment ask for USPS MO's only. Take them to the post office and cash them, don't just deposit them in the bank. If they're fake the post office folks can let you know.

You are welcome. He seemed like a nice guy just trying to fit in the local population. He does use a different last name than his real one to do so. That is probably why he could not show you proof of who he is. I see many people of different origins doing this to fit in. I will never understand it as I could care less where you are from when it comes down to it.

I suggested a cashier's check but they were worried about not having any courses of action, if I don't ship the animals.
