So My Son ***** is 9 years old, he's been into lizards lately and really wants the Mexican Alligator lizard, Abronia Gramenia. I went on the hunt for one and it turns out there are a few people so it seems that captive breed them. Well after sniffing out a for sure scam on Facebook, some guy trying to sell a breeding pair. I found this website. https://vreptiles.com/ This is where it all starts, this guy has a very cool variety. Hoping you will look into this, check out the website. It seems legit to me? as you go through the order process it seems on point. when it comes time to pay is where it gets fishy, but mildly. looking back should have been a bigger red flag. they only accept pay pal and ask you to send friends and family.

I canceled my order. but had they had already collected my personal info. next I get this confirmation email. Here's a copy and pasted version. I'm not very computer literate, im a contractor and mechanic.

Ok so I haven't paid yet. next I get a series of texts asking me questions about which lizard I want. they ask me to pay so they can ship. well its like 6:30 at night, that was the second red flag. The next day I ask them for their address so I can send them cash, they said no has to be paypal. Next I ask if I can Venmo and they agree.

here's a screen shot of their venmo red flag 3 or 4 at this point. the communication is spotty during all of this.

The phone number on my text thread matches the website, but the venmo number is different and totally disconnected, if you call the number on the web site and my text thread, they have a recording that someone is coming but never does.

He got the money from my Venmo. but I never get a receipt or confirmation email. So I reach out via text.

Here's the email I get.
