Alex Harris & James Harris - candysreptiles@hotmail.com & captivebred@hotmail.com -
 

This is now two times in a row I have not had good experiences with buying online.
The seller goes by Alex Harris on the emails and signs them James Harris. His email address is candysreptiles@hotmail.com for correspondence and captivebred@hotmail.com for paypal payments. His address is listed below in the emails.
I never got the animal or the refund and or response. I am not taking any chances and have filed the paypal complaint before the 30 days expires. It's not a lot of money but at this time of year I can't afford to lose it.

Here are the emails.

Hope you had a good holiday.
Tuesday for Wednesday delivery would be good.

Steve

Let me know if it went out. I need to know if I have to be here tomorrow or not.
Thanks.

No snake.
Issue a full refund thru paypal today.
I cannot lose another day of work waiting for a package that never arrives.

I haven't heard from him but I am not taking any chances. After the last deal and now this with 2 missed ship dates, I am not waiting around anymore.


Here is the paypal complaint.

Well, I guess yellow was not a good color to use. :rolleyes:

Here is the paypal complaint that is actually legible.

I know that I am going to get flack for this but......
 

.....always be extremely wary of anyone using a free Email account. Before every one jumps on me, I know that a lot of great folks have yahoo and hotmail accounts. However, if you scan through the past scams on this site, the majority of the serious scumbags operate from these throwaway accounts.

Just outta curiosity....what would be a good email name to have? I use yahoo extensivley. I am not throwing you flak I am seriously asking. What would be a good email to go through to have a non throw away email?

BTW that really sux. Glad it wasn't a large amount of money. I hope that you get your refund, but at least their paypal account will be jammed up until they resolve it. Curious if you checked the BOI first or anything?

I did check the BOI. Nothing bad posted. He actually had a good post about him.
Here is the thread. The last post by Coyote refers to this person.

Hopefully this is just a fluke but I have not had a response from him over the past 4 days.

Anything you have to pay for that can be traced back to you. Yahoo and Hotmail are virtually untraceable

For example, the email that your ISP provides.

What email does my ISP provide? I have Road Runner but for the life of me I can't remember what my name is LOL. I dunno I just figure as long as I build my rep I will be fine.
