"Dave Tortois Vailable"?

[hunterk997]

I found this person post an ad on a tortoise group on Facebook; Dave Tortois Vailable
They say they sell almost every tortoise and turtle I can think of. They even mention sea turtles of four or five species. Has anyone had experience with them? This just seems a little fishy. But I'm not sure.

I think we've talked about this guy on the Forum before, but I couldn't find the thread. If memory serves, they're in Cameroon and its a scam. I think when we saw the original ad, we also found the same exact ad with "poodle puppies" inserted instead of tortoises.

If anyone advertises that they sell just about every species out there it can be safely assumed its a scam. Also, in most places, if not all places, it is illegal to sell sea turtles. This is scam, scam, scam.

Okay, I warned the administrators of the group.
