Duck fraud

[nayeli]

Title is halfway joking, but ai setup a meeting to buy adult ducks of specialty breeds. Welsh harlequins and silver appleyards. 3 of each.

I show up and the lady has 2 beautiful silver welshes and 4 brown ducks, that first she tries to tell me are appleyards. Then welshes. And sits and argues with me while I proceed to bring up pictures of both and explain what they should look like.

I then offer to just buy the 2 correct ones and she refuses to sell me any, because I have the nerve to say she doesn't know what her ducks are.

I saw something similar a few years back, someone selling Chinese cross geese as “French Toulouse” for a very high price.
I tried explaining that they’re mixes but she was indignant and swore up and down that they were purebred “French Toulouse” and I didn’t know what I was talking about, that she doesn’t even have Chinese on the property so it’s impossible for them to be mixed “She has a few white Chinese in the background in her pics,” then when I pointed that out she told me to butt out of her business and blocked me.

I have French Toulouse, it sounds fancy but what they really are, are production Toulouse Metzer sourced from Toulouse, France which they now breed and sells as a novelty. Metzer doesn’t attempt to make them out to be anything beyond what they are, I love mine but it’s not like they’re exhibition Toulouse from show lines or anything, and on top of that hers were clearly visibly mixes.

She had sent pictures and while blurry I saw the eye striping, plus she HAD silver welsh harlequins so I am honestly thinking she was trying to get one over on me.... especially since she first said they were appleyards then switched to them all being welsh.

Scammers have no shame, it’s funny how outraged they get when caught though.
