He has already contacted at least two members including myself looking to make a transaction of some sort. He asked me to be put in touch with Chameleon breeders, I don`t think he is expecting the reply he has waiting in his inbox which includes his photograph and a warning that if he attempts to continue his practices here I will post it up, so I think we will leave it at that for now.

The one remaining post of his (others have been deleted) is enquiring the price of tree boas.

Having seen the problems he has caused on another forum I would agree whole heartedly with Shaz and say to leave Chris M Dawe alias thelittlestmantis well alone.

OMG I cant beleive c.m.dawe is still around, about 18 months ago- maybe longer I answered an ad for some amphibs, he sent me pics that I knew were lifted from another place, I queried it as you would and asked for pics of the actual frogs he was selling. Guess what? His camera was broke! he also told me he was moving so I could I send payment asap to so and so adress even though he said he lived in london. After a few emails , things just didnt add up I challenged the guy over a few things and he actually said if you dont trust me you can Eff off !!!! So I did and didnt lose a penny to the scammy scum!
love Jan
