I'm a bit apprehensive about this. The bad spelling is perhaps a give away. Have you called them?

They haven't even asked what you know about keeping this tortoise or anything. I would definitely steer clear lol. They seem to willing to get rid don't you think?

Im down in Leicester in two weeks, I so want to phone them but will probably be a scam or I will be a single man once again

I have messaged them via email lets see what they say to me

interesting..... I would love one so much but I doubt Id ever have a garden suitable for them, how could I keep one living in bog standard semi in suburbs... how obvious would it be, it would be hard to hide!!!!!!!!!
