I was searching for a taxidermy goat head for my husband for Christmas when I came across a Facebook business page called "Anthony's Taxidermy Resale" which had one for a reasonable price. I noticed he was the admin of an entire Facebook Group/community also "Taxidermy Market Place". I paid him $150 via Zelle on the email he gave me: Name : Desean Ward [email protected] and he sent me a link to a shipping provider called Apexiumglobalshippinglogistics.site and gave me a tracking # . I googled the company name and entered the tracking # which shows my name address email and phone # as delivery address and the sender said: Anthony James Nashville Tennessee +1 619-502-9908 [email protected] I then noticed that something seemed off because the name and email didn't match the Zelle account he gave me. I reversed Google image searched the goat head picture from his page and found the same pictures posted by someone else from a completely different area. I confronted him and he kept saying it was not a scam and that I would get an email from the shipping agent which then I received an email from: [email protected] Saying: Hey there how are you doing today we are reaching out from the delivery agency regarding your taxidermy mount and we wanted to take you through the how process I ignored the email and asked him to refund my money he obviously didn't. I normally do not fall for scams, I was totally caught off guard because normally scammers reach out to you not the [BBB Scam Type: Online Purchase] [Business: Anthony's Taxidermy Resale Date] [Location: PA, USA - 19001]
