Baltazaar2010 / Albert Bazaar took payment and never shipped animals
Well, here we go with yet another bad guy thread.
I hope this helps others avoid this clown. I contacted Albert in regards to this ad: http://www.faunaclassifieds.com/foru...ght=loggerhead He pm'd me asking me to call him, which I did. After a very long conversation I agreed to purchase 8 loggerheads. The deal was for 2.4 - 4" loggerheads represented in the photo in the listing and 2 extra males he calls salt and pepper to pair up some females. They were supposed to ship out Wednesday December 13th. There was delay after delay and they never shipped. First it was food poisoning then his pipes supposedly froze then when he went to pack the box he was out of females that he would have to get breeders out of his pools. When that was too much trouble to get animals out of his pools - he would go collect more (claims he has a permit to collect in Georgia). It has been one thing after another. January 4th he claims to have left to go collecting. He did call and tell me he didn't find any or whatever for a week. On January 11th he says he only found a few so far. What really concerned me during our conversation was when he said he may have to take the loggerheads to Florida while he went collecting there. He even mentioned getting mangrove terrapins and asked what I would pay for them. At that point I requested a full refund. He agreed to refund to my money though I have not received anything from him. I followed up with an email requesting the refund (that he agreed to) and also confirmed I do not want any animals from him. I suspect there are others here in the same boat, seems like he needed money for Christmas shopping so he posted the ad, collected the money and never shipped me anything. I hope this helps others, and really hope PP resolves this one quickly. I can post emails of some of the communications (some was done by phone). |

To: "Albert Bazaar" <albertbazaar@yahoo.com> Date: Monday, December 11, 2017, 5:31 PM Awesome, I will send over payment this evening! Lookers are good, I do enjoy watching them and the pretty ones draw attention, but I am ok with some plainer ones or chipped shell etc. Really looking for the best breeders. The babies will all be pretty:) As for size, Preference would be young breeders (as long as you think they will acclimate and breed), some larger or smaller is ok to. If you do have any extra salt and pepper females let me know (wasn't sure if you had extra or just helping me out). Thanks again! Mark |

Sounds like you got the run around...I hope PP returns the funds to quickly. A lot of red flags with having the animals, then not having them, or needing to go collect them, etc.

Sorry you're having to go through this, it's making it harder too pull the trigger when you find what you're looking for online. I happen to live 30 minutes from Buffalo, Missouri, where this scammer hails from. Buffalo, is in Dallas County, I know the Sheriff there, and he frowns on scammers, so I'm including the Sheriff's Dept. info, it won't hurt to call, and see if there's anything they can do, if nothing else, Albert will now be on there radar. Dallas County Sheriff's Dept. 204 Poplar St, Buffalo, MO 65622 (417) 345-2441 Buffalo Police Dept. 311 Poplar St, Buffalo, MO 65622(417) 345-2709 Regardless if he lives in the county, or in the city limits, I'd call both Departments! If there's anything I can do for you here locally, don't hesitate to contact me...... The very best to you in resolving this situation, and getting your money returned.

Thank you, Lynn! I have a feeling I will be contacting them soon. I did get a couple replies from him today, more of the same unfortunately. I will post them below.

Subject: Re: Musks To: "Albert Bazaar" <albertbazaar@yahoo.com> Date: Tuesday, January 16, 2018, 9:43 AM We agreed to a refund during the phone conversation on Jan 12th, just refund the money. It literally only takes a minute (traveling or not). There is nothing more to talk about, Albert. It has been more than a month, you had every opportunity to ship your breeders etc. I also told you during that conversation (on the 12th) that I was going to purchase another group of loggerheads, which I did. From this point forward I want all interaction to be through email so it can be submitted to paypal. I really don't think I am being a whiner (check you spelling), you have had over $400 of my money for more than a month, and I have not seen or heard anything but repeated excuses. You took money for animals you did not have, and repeatedly have not followed through with your promises - that sir is called poor business. Just do the right thing and refund the money promptly so we can all move on from this. I will be happy to close the PayPal claim and update the boi thread on fauna once this has been resolved. Unfortunately I assume you don't have the money or you would have already refunded it. |
