I went to several trade site looking to buy wholesale genetic rooster feathers for resale, and knew many were shady but the name Germain Rowlings kept coming up on many sites and they appeared to be legitimate. We interacted for a few weeks and I knew the feathers would come from Cameroon-a major red flag - they agreed to a sample sale and would even let me pay just the postage and when I got the feathers then pay the rest. I negotiated to do a sample purchase, then if I received them and they were the quality stated I would buy a much larger order. I went to make the sale and they then said I needed to give the whole amount for the sample purchase-not just postage because they had to pay DHL in order to send to me.
I went ahead and gave the MTCN number and they said they would get back with me with the DHL tracking number asap.
3 days later I contacted them asking where is the order and they reply that they accidently sent me someone elses' 50-pack order and they need me to pay the $350 so DHL can send them to me.
Obviously they have no feathers and are just scammers.
So please, people, whatever they promise, dont do business with them - I got off lucky-I've found other reports of people getting ripped off by them for $420 to $1000.
