I may be wrong but I think I've seen that pic in another advertisement for aldays over here. Careful.

Just a thought, be very wary of giving out any details to this guy. Even you phone number can be traced to your address and you might find your torts stolen. So make sure if you contact him you with hold your phone number etc.

This was in my inbox when i returned from work today
hi thanks again reading from you . well i want to get rid of the tortoise asap because of the nature of my job and am giving this tortoise out just for adoption . but we have one little problem because presently am located in belfast and don't know if you can make it possible for the pick up at my location today. but if you can not make it possible we can still arrange for a home delivery to your house but that is going to cost us £120 for the delivery fee and since the tortoise is for free you will be the one to pay for the delivery fee and that all you will need to pay for the tortoise ok. if all that is ok and you accept delivery than we can do the registration tomorrow and for the registration i will need your full contact details and the following details needed are full names..... house address...... city pose code...... phone numbers ..... as soon as i get all this am going to registered the tortoise over for delivery to your house .. looking forward to read from you thanks |

The way it reads, it sounds like a foreign person.

So they want £120 and all your details. So if you pay by card they have the full set. Plus they will know where you live and be able to steal your torts too.
Should be reported to the police.
