*** WARNING SCAMMER ALERT ***

*** WARNING ***

Hey guys just putting it out there so you don't get burnt. A scammer is acting as Tobias Spanner, he has Facebook pages, Facebook business pages messenger accounts and are very elaborate. He uses PayPal as a means of payment and requests you to use friends and family option to avoid fee, but in doing so, you don't have any protection from PayPal and he gets away with it. Please check your Facebook account, put a scammer review in, report and block. And most importantly, spread the word. What i have found he has several Facebook names headed under "Rare palm seeds", Tobias Spanner, and "Madagascan palm seeds" 

Please share, so we can put a stop to this thief.

I can confirm that this is in fact true - and Toby is aware and also taking action.

I've had a couple people try to sell me cycad seeds, mainly Encephalartos, on Facebook.  I wondered if any of them could be trusted.  And if they didn't do it legally the seed would probably just get confiscated.

All messages from him should be considered as Spanner Scammer Spam.   Say that Five times fast.   I can't even say it once!

Why would Toby sell on Facebook anyway. He has his own fully functioning secure website. It would be too much to keep track of if he used both.

In the profile information in the fake f/b account, it is written as year of birth 1985!!! It happens that I used to know the real person in the 90's already as palm seller and in fact meet him on several occasions back then lol.
