Has anyone dealt with him?
Says he's from Maryland, also claims to have cocoons of antherina suraka and gynasia maia.

If he wants you to pay by Moneygram to someone in Elkhart, IN then you know he's another alias.
Of course he could be perfectly genuine, just a reminder of the possibilities.

Keep in mind that neither of these species are native to North America, and require a permit to transport alive across state lines (both from the state of Indiana and the US-Department of Agriculture). And I can almost certainly guarantee you that you will not get said permits.

I suggest you try Google.
I would ask Mr. Anderson if he can get you the USDA permits; after all, he may be the Robert Anderson (moth expert) who works for USDA.
Or he may be the one who works/worked at UofM. Or they could be one in the same.

.. or he may be a dodgy scammer using the same name, especially as John has pointed out that these are not native US species.

Four ways to confirm who he is:
1. Ask for a photo of the cacoons on today's newspaper
2. Ask him which Robert Anderson he is (there are 990 in Maryland alone)
3. Check his email/ google it, see what comes up
4. Ask for a phone number (preferably a landline) and call him

He speaks normal English and says he has permits from the USDA and IBBA.

The IBBA is an NGO, not a government body, it cannot issue legally recognised permits. It may issue papers that help certify a breeder, however.
How did you get on with Chuck's recommendations 1 and 3?

He speaks normal English and says he has permits from the USDA and IBBA. This doesn't mean anything. I have friends who speak four languages fluently without accent and live in grass huts. And "says" means nothing. What if- just what if- he does work for USDA and this is a setup? |
