I saw an ad on the classified section of another forum, advertising for '08 Three Toed box turtles....$70 and $30 for shipping. Since I mind my Grandson every day, and he always helps me with my animals, I promised him a little boxie for Easter, which would live here with me and I would help him take care of it every day. I sent this guy a money order for $100. He was keeping in touch, and told me when the money order arrived. Then he told me that something happened with his bank account...someone got into it and took his money...so he wouldn't be able to send me the turtle for a while until his bank account got cleared up or until someone gave his wife money that was owed to her. I waited for a week and then he tells me that he has to wait for his SS check as he is on disability. That was March 25th. Still no Three Toed. He tells me that he is a Christian man and would never do this to someone. Now I see him looking to get some $750 boxie on another forum....also he is advertising his 08 Three Toed's on still another forum. It took a long time for my Grandson to save $25.oo doing chores for everyone in the neighborhood, and I told him that was enough and I put in the rest for an Easter present and for doing loads of chores for me too. This was so devastating for him (and me too). I put in two complaints on the forums that he is advertising on. Now the guy is telling me that I am ruining his good Christian name by complaining about him on two different animal forums. I have learned a valuable lesson here. Unfortunately it cost $100. Still waiting for the boxie....Just venting a little here..........
I hope everything works out
