Doesn't sound right, not sure how it works where your at, but you could try calling your local animal control, they might be able to put you in touch with registered animal rescues.
My guess is this is another novice using the disguise of a rescue to increase his personal collection.
Here, a real rescue is licensed and registered as a non-profit org.
Try looking up a local herp society or reptile club, the would have the best info for your area, they might also be a rescue.
