Sorry to hear about this mate. It really is a crappy situation and there isn't much you can do. For some reason the police tend to not involve themselves in this sort of thing. I would say you should call leave a message saying "hi it's blah I'm just calling in regards to the animals I have purchased. Then say I'm starting to get worried so if I do not hear back from you in x days I will be contacting the police." Hopefully that will knock some sense into him. Good luck and sorry to hear let me know how it goes.

P.S. I wouldn't pm anyone who asked for his name that wasn't polite enough to at least help you. Seems fairly hypocritical if you ask me for them to ask for your help about his name and can't help you at all or at least say good luck. Manners these days hey.

Yeah it's ok it's my first buy from interstate as well lol kinda sets the mood for me ever freighting or sending reptiles anywhere. All my permits where approved. As well jungle-fever. Thanks everyone I sent him a message last night and gave him to the end of friday to contact me that's the longest I'm waiting if I don't here from him I'll call the police and civil claims ppl.

If you do try to involve the police, remember that there are jurisdictional issues. Until the NSWPOL and QPOL can agree on where/if the offense took place they will be reluctant to get involved so have a think about that before you make any approach.

Also, make sure you compile a brief of evidence, that will make the job of the police easier and they will be more likely to take action if the case looks tight and it's as simple as a door knock etc. Remember the more work THEY have to do to sure up the case, the less likely they are to get involved. If you can do all the leg work for them then it improves your chances.

It's actually relatively difficult (but not impossible) to create a false bank account so you should be able to track this guy down through the banks even if all the other details he provided are false. Unfortunately due to privacy legislation only law enforcement agencies can request that information. If the bank account is false that's an offense in itself so that would be another reason for the police to get involved.

Yeah I know it's really him and his name on the bank account because I'm starting to get a bit nosei I looked him up on Facebook and the same pictures of the reptiles are in his pictures lol I'm not a stalker I might add I'm just worried because IDE prefer get more Gtp then bother with this I don't even care if I get the reptiles or not now it's ithere I get them or my money about a week ago I never wanted my money I wanted the reptiles now I'm reluctant and prefer my money back only coz he's to hard to deal with. Thanks everyone for your support.
