Shannon Bray (slickslug)
 

Anyone done business with Shannon Bray from Olympia, Washington? They have some stunning Boas posted for sale here but very little info on them, and no feedback posted here. This is the ad I saw and was intrigued by:

I just found their join date of 2009 and only 6 posts a little unusual.

I did some search on FB & the only profile linked to a Shannon Bray in Olympia, Washington is this one which is obviously a fake profile of some kind. Very odd.

This is the email this person is using:

snakemakers@yahoo.com

Upon searching Fauna with the email address, I came upon this thread....which is 10 years old and has a different last name attached. The more I dig the more confused I get.

I was just about to link to that thread, but you beat me to it. A search for that email address on FB yields a seemingly unused account for someone named Keith Brady.

This is definitely weird. I'm leaning towards a scammer of some type but something doesn't smell right. I emailed the person at the above address, so I guess we'll see if the respond. I also asked for references via PM.

I also found this thread, where it seems to be a couple who is/was sharing the profile slickslug, and it may have been that Shannon Bray was supposed to be Shannon BraDy and it was a typo. Nonetheless, an unusual lack of info exists on this person who claims to have originated the Latte line of Borneo Short-Tails?

I received a PM from slickslug on here linking me to the Inquiry thread from 2007. They also claim to have been a "big time" breeder for the last 15 years.

I think most "big time" breeders have more than 8 references from 10 years ago, but that's just me. If something seems too good to be true, it usually is.

With a FB address using Rusty Harker.

Its pretty much a confirmation that 2 people are using the account (Keith and Shannon, evident by the other ads they have placed back in 2014)....which, unless I'm mistaken is against the TOS. Any mods want to weigh in on this?
