From current classifieds live beetles.
After some communication he looks to me like scammer with quite advanced technique, he has informations about real breeders in Europe (and acussating them from stealing money not paying for shipments in past). Normally I do not bothers about scammers but this one knows a bit about beetle breeding community in Europe. May be good with google?

Or has somebody positive reference about him? If not his add should be removed quickly.

He did try to convince me to send money in advance for dried beetle.

He tried convince me to send advance for air cargo shipment of living beetles, too. He gave me information that he was scammed by german breeder and named him. After a bit effort I found that breeder - I discovered that I do not know his name but we were in contact on beetle breeding forum.
He explained that Baraka asked him send $300 for shipping costs in advace - and when did not get anything in advance he used his name like scammer. I trust German breeder, simple therefore because no Tanzanian living import beetles arrived to central Europe during last months, I am sure.

Hello

I've also talked with him. Fisrt showing some interest in a deal without payment in advance he asked for contact references. I showed lots of photos and I just gave one reference, a friend of mine, and after informing the friend to be careful because this could be an scammer. Then after all he asks for half of the payment in advance. End of the negotiations. I suppose that's the method he uses, trying to stablish some sort of trust and using known names (wich he also used with me). But he seems to be scammer. Don't give a cent in advance.
