The above website is a total SCAM! Sent money, given lots of excuses, sent me a phony FedEx tracking #, etc. etc. They give you just enough information to make you believe they are legit. How can we shut the website down or overload the email address? Thanks!

John,
Can you please provide emails that can help everyone understand exactly what happened?

Has anyone even found the tortoise world site, I did a search and was unable to find it.

Looks like they shut the site down but I found their Facebook page. They claim to have breeding pairs of galops and other cites species for sale which screams scam.

Goodluck hopefully youll get your money back.

Yep, the Wix site is gone, but there are still tracks that can be followed.

Here are some screenshots of this guy's web presence. Note that his name is likely really Ceirod Wallace, Jr.

Also note the phone number on one shot and the search results of that phone number, as well as the affiliation with an oufit called "Tortoise World SARL", which appears to be in Beua, Cameroon.

John, please post any additional info you have, ie, email address, phone number, names used.

Sorry for the multiple shots, but here's the last one

Thanks everyone for rooting this guy out. Yes, it was Ceirod Wallace, Jr. that I corresponded with throughout the entire process and who showed his ID at the Walmart there in Baton Rouge, LA where I sent my money. What a scam. They (He) went to great lengths to pull this off. The kicker for me was when they said the tortoises had shipped, got waylayed in Phoenix (and he actually gave me the address of a real live FedEx site) and they emailed last Sunday saying the Vets had checked on them, given them shots, fed them and re-boxed them and I had to send more $$ to make sure I got them on time! Wow, Fedex NEVER would do such a thing. When I called FedEx they neither had the bogus Shipper # that Mr. Wallace had given me NOR did they have me in the system to deliver anything to my address! When I lit into Mr. Wallace he had someone text me saying he knew nothing about this and that he would check into it. He maintained that an "apprentice" made off with the tortoises and never came back. Later he (they) said they recovered them but they would neither send the Torts nor send a refund because I had started the whole scam business! He had even given me bogus emails of people to contact as references and they must have all been him or been given what to say because they all talked the same! It has been a very enlightening experience and I appreciate all the help.
NOTE: So is the FACEBOOK Page still up? I would love to post some information and use some of my Facebook legions to petition that he put up or shut up as to the Mr. Christofferson affair!
Thanks again....
John C.

This guy put in add in one the Australian groups I follow on FB claiming to have legal
Angonoka AKA plowshare tortoise for sale that he could ship to OZ. The add was pulled rather fast.

Yes, he and his family is there in LA ... do a Google search of his name. Very enlightening.

Fauna Classifieds BOI is your friend. ALWAYS come here first to research or inquire about a seller before you commit to a sale

I am sorry it appears you have been scammed.
