Paul Massa is a deceiver. He has been caught red handed lying to me and i am going to expose this guy publicly.
I've seen him post all of these wanted ads and I actually felt bad for the guy. Most of you forum members who know me know that I am more than willing to give stuff out to help another fellow in need. This guy here takes advantage of other people's kindness. I was going to ship him out a Dessicata Female, Lobata Female, and a male Budwing to help a fellow in need because he needed to mate his mantis. I was running short on time for a few weeks due to work and couldn't run out to the post office.. I truly believe that was a blessing in disguise now! I messaged him to let him know that I still planned on sending him stuff to help a fellow mantis keeper. Never ONCE did he ever offer to help out with shipping! He was getting a total combined amount of mantis that would cost him around $100 had he gotten it from Mantisplace.. yet he never even offers to help with anything! Just sits there and wants to get mantis for FREE.
A few weeks down the line I find out that he had sent money to someone else to get GHOST Mantis. The full amount, never even bargained because he really wanted it. I was finally done covering for someone at work and didn't have to work those long hours 6 days a week anymore. I was ready to send him the mantis, but before I did I posted up some Lobata Mantis to see what I could get for a trade. He was one of the first people to message me and try to BUY it from me. I told him that I was ready to finally send him the Lobata Female and the Budwing Male, however, my Dessicata female had a bad mismolt and was no longer, which left me with ONE Dessicata female left for my OWN stock then he all of a sudden remembered who I was. I then asked him if he still had the Lobata male that was supposedly going to eventually mate with the female I was going to give him. There was none.. NONE! It "dropped dead" out of nowhere! Somehow I felt suspicious about him but still felt bad enough to give him stuff. He told me to send him ooths when my lobata and budwing laid some. Uh.. OK?
One day after he was going to make an offer to BUY a Lobata pair, I posted up a male Budwing. He again is one of the first people to message me saying he wanted it. I said OK, just help me out with shipping.. Just give me $8 and I'll send it on over. I'm NOT even doing the whole $25 shipping like some forum members charge! He instantly messages me back saying "would love to help on shipping but right now I broke sadly I got maybe three dollars to my name at most but my address is

Yeah OK.. ONE DAY after you were about to put in an offer for a Lobata Pair you all of a sudden have NO MONEY. And to my knowledge he bought some ghost mantis off of someone else I happen to know.. Oh! And look at the heterochaeta that you are currently showing off on the forums.. all while "being completely dead broke"! I am SO GLAD I got caught up with work and never sent him a THING! During that time I've found that he was out buying things here and there.. yet when we are kind enough to give him things he does NOT even offer to pay for shipping and wants everything for 100% FREE.
We are here in this community to help each other out, yet this guy decides to take full advantage of everyone's kindness! I am perfectly fine with sending things out for free and have done it multiple times, however, I HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAATE it when I find out that I have been lied to. I HATE it even more knowing that this person has been taking complete advantage of other member's kindness for his enjoyment. Everyone here has to pay good money for mantis AND most of us have paid the $25 shipping time and time again, yet YOU sit there and come up with this pathetic sad story in order to sucker people in to giving you stuff for FREE!
YOU have been caught RED HANDED. I wonder how many people have been suckered into believing his pathetic stories and sent over FREE mantis only to have him take them for granted.
If you weren't so greedy and were smart enough to actually watch your steps, you may have had FREE Mantis from me as well by now, however, you have been found out to be a liar and a cheat. Maybe if you seriously can not afford all of this stuff, then you should cut down on your collection instead of TAKING ADVANTAGE of people who are out there willing to lend a helping hand.
Have a good day sir. I will NEVER consider someone like YOU to be a friend.
Let THIS be a lesson for taking advantage of others!
What a nice guy.
