I had been looking for a female herman tortoise for a long time and was on www.reptileclassifieds.co.uk I saw an advert that was selling lots of different breeds. I thought she was a breeder her name was Kate Jackson so I emailed her asking whether she had any. She emailed back stating all the breeds she had and prices and said she lived in leeds. I said it was too far away and she said she could deliver using a safe pet courier I dont normally believe in that practice but I had been looking for so long so I agreed. She said she would take the tortoise to the pet courier this morning and that I would be contacted by them with the details of how to make the payment. I received an email from Air Pets Moving services saying they have information about my Female Herman Tortoise From Mrs Kate Jackson at the french Pet Branch about delivering the tortoise to my house but said they cant ship her until they received my payment by money gram from the post office the address I had been given was to someone in cameroon which I thought was very strange but thought maybe it was because I must have been buying from a dealer I stupidly paid it because they said they couldnt deliver it until I had paid and I was really looking forward to getting her after I paid I had an email back confirming they had received it then shortly followed by another saying I had to pay £400 for insurance and £20 for food for the tortoise whilst it was kept at customs and that the £400 would be refunded in cash by the delivery people obviously I didnt pay this. I feel so angry that I have been conned I thought I would tell everyone just incase someone else fools for it. Has anyone any advice ?
