Manuilov Artem

Has anyone ever done any business with Manuilov Artem? Interested in some chameleons he has but can't find much information on him or his business. Any insight would be appreciated and thanks in advance!

Did you ever buy from him?

I did not do business with him. Things didn't add up right and he wouldn't really give me much info about his business and was dodging certain questions. He also asked me to wire him money through walmart cause thats the only way he accepted money. To many red flags for me to want to risk it.

So unless his real name is "Bruce" from Arizona, I would suggest that you dodged a bullet on this one.

When I asked about types of payment accepted, preferably PayPal, his reply was:
No paypal western union transfer.

So of course I asked if I could come hand select and he said yes of course. The pics he sent me of the Yniphoras and Aldabras took me all of five minutes to find them online.
So...if it looks like a scam, sounds like a scam, is priced lime a scam...you get the point. Hope this saves somebody's time and money.

Do you still have his email address [?] and does he currently have an ad running?

It was all done through Facebook PMs.

Funny thing is, I just tried pulling up the PM convo to screenshot and now his account is deactivated. It is 11:41 am and the last message I received from him was at 11:14am. Too funny.

When I originally posted this he said he was out of Georgia selling chameleons. When he started asking me to wire money through Walmart is when I just decided to not even deal with him anymore.
