Hi Joon, I received this from Atlantis [does not give name though I asked, but maybe translator cannot translate the Russian???] at 3:21AM Eastern USA Time: Will! My account is unlocked. You can pay to: [his email address] Regards, Виктор So if you payed him before this time he is certainly a scammer [wants $1,500 from me]....but if you get the world's largest beetle, let us all know! Just in case, this "Виктор" when unscrambled means Виктор / Victor. Now you know his first name.  |

Hi guys, just heard back [4 March, 1PM Eastern US time] from Atlantis the Russian scammer [Victor, Andrey, or Peter...or whatever] and he is again trying to sell me this beetle! Answering my question on sending more pictures and only through ebay, this is what he said:
Will!
Hello!
Sorry for delay.I left Moscow for work and do not know when I get back.
My wife can not and does not want to do a photos,she can send a parcel from the post
office only.
This is my final offer.
That's the way things are.
Regards,
Виктор
[glad you got your money back Joon!]
