Heads up guys.. new to the boards and I'm pretty sure this is a scam. Found an advert from this person selling pokie metallicas @ 70 bucks a pop! Maybe someone could tell me if they have delt with this person before? Here's the email correspondance, it reeks of scam aqnd I called the person out. No reply yet. The emails read backwards, start at the bottom.

Prudy,
You are selling a species of tarantula at half the usual rate. You refuse to provide the requested references, the requested pictures, or any real guarantees. Instead you simply 'tell' me things. Talk is cheap, and until I get anything other than talk, you are a scammer.

Hi,
Thanks for the reply. I still can't find any refereances on your sales. I did find an expired forum post that claimed you were a scammer but it was removed. I do not know what this means and I'm a little uncomfortable dealing with someone with no referances and a yahoo email address. I hope you understand? If you could write your email address on a piece of paper and hold it next to the spiders in question and send me a photo, and are willing to accept a secure form of funds I would entertain a purchase. Thanks.

Hello,
Thanks for the mail.
I use Express Post to ship spiders and they use terrariums which is enough guarantee that you will get your spiders.
I have sent a good number of spiders to Spain and USA so that is no problem as concerns references.
should snything happen to the spiders during shipment then you will be refunded in full by Express Post if you will not like them retake the postage again.
Regards
