The seller basically advertises in multiple states (AK, IN, AL, AZ, NC) using this email address: [email protected]
The ads read like this: "Hello, i am a Breeder of all Tortoise Breeds. I have tortoises ranging from males, females, babies to breeding pairs of all the breeds listed below and so many more . Elegans Tortoises, Radiated Tortoises, Egyptian Tortoises, Leopard Tortoise, Galapagos Tortoises, African Spurred and Sulcata Tortoises. If you are interested get back to me for more information and pictures"
When I emailed the seller, this is the response I got:

Is this some Nigerian scam, a smuggler, or the USFW running a sting?
Thoughts??
