Arrghh it pissed me off! I said no and he refused to return my money. Then he just became rude and started to ignore me. Then he said he would return but keeps saying the same old story ,"the airport is delaying to return your money," whenever I ask. Grrr.. I paid via western union, could I report the bank? I wish I listened to my instincts.. damn it!
Super Moderator Dennis Hultman says ,"looking at the ad that you posted and the user name you mentioned, The poster is out of Africa not CA as they stated. It looks like you have been hit by a scammer."
Here are the pictures of so called his tegus that he showed me, some claim they belong to other breeders. Well that should be obvious by now:
---
The last two pictures of the baby tegu is the one I wanted to buy as he claimed that it is a B & W Argentine Tegu but then I realized that isn't the case, it is a red or a hybrid of red & b&w..
Olivier, or whoever you are, payback will be a BITCH! Whether it's coming from me or someone or something else! When I said I would report if he does not return my money, he told me to do whatever I want. It does not feel good to be fooled, I wish I listened to my instincts instead of his drama. I told myself it would be ok, now I can let this anger consume me or I can just move on. If it is impossible for me to get my money back, fine, I learned my lesson. But he will pay...
