Hi,
I wondered if anyone has had any correspondence with Madeleine Gibbs.
She has offered me some moth livestock.
Thanks,
Tim

Tim,
Based on name alone - I'd guess scam. If she offered you material out of the blue - or in response to something you posted - be very cautious.

Funny how scammers think if the use a woman's name they think people will be more trusting and fall for their crap. Female lepidopterists are few and far between

Chances are she will ask you to send payment to Mary Flicker in Elkhart, Indiana. Be careful.

I had a Daniel Flicker tell me that.
He claimed she was his fiance and they were in their eighties.

She told you that one yet? Her spouse is in the hospital and medical bills are pilling up. She needs your cash for paying these.  |

I don't know what it is, but there is something inherently wrong in these names they pick out. Mary Flicker. Madeleine Gibbs. Pamela Dermit. Haskel Jack. There is just something wrong with them that I can't put my finger on. (well Haskel Jack - that one is crazy). They need to change their imaginary address to southern Georgia. Then they could make up more believable names like Billy Bob Thornton. Or Daisy Duke. Or Bo Duke. Or Cooter Davenport. Or Luke Duke. Or Enos Strate. And that's just one lousy TV show worth of stupid, but more believable, names. John |

You guys inspired me with the Dukes of Hazard characters. Cooter would be a legit Nom de guerre against scamming scumbags.  ? A rich Cooter would be more appealing. |

The Dukes of Hazzard, I always thought that TV show was an insult to human intelligence. Along with the Beverly Hillbillies, especially when good old Jed Clampet was shooting house flies off a wall at 500 yards with a 55 caliber muzzle loader musket. A true challenge to manhood.
Then I moved to Kentucky: Rednecks, white socks and PBR. These TV shows were for real! $hit fire and wire pliers, yeeehaww.
What are the last words every red neck utters before he does?
The answer: Hold my beer and watch what I can do!

Wait a minute, did I read someone was inspired by the Dukes of Hazzard, you must live in California!
California: The land of fruits and nuts and not the kind that grows on trees.
I need a nap!!
