You would think that after being reported for over two years that they must realize that they are a

laughing stock in gardening forums,tease.gif

 

A number of other scam listings  are still available in the Rose category,stubborn_smiley_by_mirz123-d4bt0te_zps12f1a5a3.gif

It's just got out of hand. Too many scammers even aussie ones. I asked a scammer the other day if the pictures were from their own plant (Which I doubted) and they answered yes. So I then asked if they could take a picture of it now with a coke can, bottle of water or jar of vegemite just something recognizable so I could see the size of it. LOL never heard back from them. Obviously they don't eat or drink and couldn't fulfill my request.

That's because the sticky tape is real.

 

The Big Banana,the Rainbow rose seeds,the Black and Blue Rose seeds,the Blue and some other

 

Strawberry seeds,the Purple Tomatoes and various other scam listings are not real,(they can not and do

 

not exist),stubborn_smiley_by_mirz123-d4bt0te_zps12f1a5a3.gif

 

Most are photo shopped and some buyers have even been sent weed seeds,shok.gif

Tazz, I don't believe the Bolivian Rainbow Chili seeds should be a target.

I don't know about Bolivian, but I have grown rainbow chilis for years....they were called Ornamental chilis many years ago.

I think the rainbow chillies I had were sold as Thai chillies. Got 'em from Bunnings. The ones I had were edible.
