Beware fraud! Came across an ad in another forum that said
"Hello,
I have these adult females for sale:
Poecilotheria metallica (2) 0.2
Theraphosa blondi (1) 0.1
Brachypelma smithii (1) 0.1"
I contacted the seller by email going by Frank Brummack, was very prompt on responding with prices. Prices seemed like a really good deal. I proceeded on asking him questions about the t's which he replied and seemed very knowledgeable specially about how they were sexed. He stated that he didn't have time for them any more. I asked where was He located at, he responded that he was In Eckhart Indiana (read about this location used by scammers before) (red flag) . I also asked him what was his PayPal email so I can send payment which he ignored (red flag). He finally told me how to pay which, It was moneygram (red flag). he gave me instructions on where to buy moneygram and which one and then to email him the 24 digit code and after receiving code he would ship t's via usps. he said to send half the money now and when I receive the t to send the rest.
Email also raised a red flag was coming up in Europe (@ok.de) I told him I only pay with PayPal and left it at that.
Don't trust anyone asking for moneygram, cashier's check, or money orders. If you do be carefull. Now these days scams are everywhere.
Here is the info i have reported it in that forum.
