I had a bag of 50 Locusts delivered after 9 days , was supposed to be next day . I had a nice brown sludge in the bottom from quite a few dead and the box smelled rather bad when he handed it to me .

So yeah , post has been a bit out of whack lately .

This person is a scammer, I sent a postal order for a deposit on some reptiles and I was to meet her at the show today and she would sell me them. But as soon as the money had arrived she stopped contact. I have spoke with three people on here in the last half hour including the OP who have also have been scammed by this 'seller'. Together we have a full name, email address, address, account number and sort code, anybody know of anything we can do to retrieve our money?
The OP is right guys, definately a scammer.

Matt

I have had 3 people contact me worried, the first 2 before i posted this thread.

1 as he has explanined sent a postal order for goods collecting today but contact stopped.
1 posted her a cheque and again nothing recieved.
1 paid her for a stat via paypal sent out the same day as mine and contact has been ignored sinse money was sent.
1 sent her via paypal a deposit for goods to be collected at the show today but her contact to arrange a meeting point and get a phone number was also ignored.

This member has a viv for sale post, getting rid of excess equipment post and a reptiles for sale at doncaster show post.

I didn't mean to call her a scammer, just make people think twice before trusting her while hoping a genuine explanation would be given.

It is for others to make their mind up not for me to say, i would have liked to be made to think twice and double check though.

Shame that a few people can put so many off trusting anyone though.

My item was sent out friday 28th guaranteed next day delivery especially as i needed a replacement quick which is why after allowing for the bank holiday i tried contacting her and then with no reply posted this thread.

Hopefully its saved a few people some money

pm me your details, i am going to the police, we have her full name, postal address, paypal details, email address and bank account number with sort code - there must be something they can do if given a list of people to contact that she has scammed with proof of how payment was made etc.
