I am so sorry for you, do you know what they are made of?

 

[Rick]

Wow. Unreal.

 

[sbugir]

Unbelievable

i sympathize with you man, what a douche, my brother is rearing ghosts, when there adult and lay some ooths ill give you some.

When ghosts lay an ooth, they leave a little "tail" on it which they break with a hind leg. No tail? :lol:

The trouble now, though, is that he will tell PayPal that he sent you the ooths and you will have to prove that they are fake to folks who don't know what an ooth is. I have an infertile ooth handy (with tail!) and will be happy to send it or a pic to you if you wish.

The good news is that I paid through paypal and credit card...so I'll probably get my money back.

The tricky thing is that even after I filed the dispute, he tried to get me to cancel it once he shipped. According to paypal rules I would have ben SOL if I did that, and I wouldn't be able to re-open the case. Then I would only have the credit card as a last recourse.

It's now escalated to a paypal claim, where I have provided proof of the fraudulent deal. That's still a crapshoot if paypal rules against me. Again, at least I have the credit card...

I hope we've all learned something about online transactions!

Wow, they are not even black/brown.

I've had enough of this, I posted a message at petbugs.com warning others about this scammer.

 

[massaman]

wow this guy must have a thing out for mantis breeders or something to stoop to doing this and would be funny though to get back at him by sending him fake ooths that he paid for LOL but that would be wrong but and eye for and eye or a ooth for an ooth!H e must think he has everyone fooled but I would love to find out who he sells to and tell those sellers or such to send him fakes to get back at him!

Some people are just unbelievable.

Sorry

Someone who does not care bout his feedback or anything for that matter as scam artists need to be rounded up and put on their own island and blow it up or something that will make them wish they never scammed anyone again!

 

[bassist]

But I think this is breaking the law since this is like a business transaction and he did fraud and could this be a felony I wonder in his state or anything can be done legally to him perhaps?

We're basically breaking the law by shipping and keeping illegal insects why do you not understand this? Same with illegally shipping herps and other animals people get scammed ALL the time there's nothing legal that can be done without the possibility of consequences for the victims and others.

You might not respect his dedication as much if your ooth had been made of insulation foam. after all, your ooth hatching probably influenced alot of people to trust this guy. Villossa probably figured he needed at least ONE real testimonial so that people would buy his forgeries.

I dont respect this guy. I think it doesn't really take that much creativity or skill to do what he did, basically it just takes someone with few scruples, greed and willingness to profit at the expense of others. This ###### should be reviled, not celebrated.

This is just shocking, how can someone stoop so low?
