James Michael Ammon aka brbexotics
James Michael Ammon (Mike), AKA brbexotics here on fauna, contacted me about my collection that I was selling and wanted to purchase everything. We decided on a price of $6,000 for 12 snakes including .1 3500g super pastel, .1 PB mojave spider, .1 Calico, .1 mojave, .1 firefly, .1 black pastel, .4 PB normals, 1. PB HGWG, 1. Banana. He was to pay actual shipping costs of $650 (through SYR, total weight was 61lbs).
He had to make a few payments as he did not have all the money at once. He gave me a $500 deposit that was $485.20 after fees through paypal to hold the animals on Feb 14, 2014. http://i96.photobucket.com/albums/l1...6-22-30-24.png He further paid $ 1,970 that same day. http://i96.photobucket.com/albums/l1...6-22-30-28.png He then wire transfered $2,700 on Mar 06, 2014. http://i96.photobucket.com/albums/l1...6-22-32-46.png The remaining was paid by AMEX through paypal on Mar 07, 2014 in the amount of $1,456.20 after paypal fees. http://i96.photobucket.com/albums/l1...6-22-30-43.png Total amount I recieved after fees was $6,611.40. After supplies and everything, shipping cost me more than orignally quoted, but I did not charge him the rest. The animals were shippid on Mar 19, 2014 due to a good shipping window. All animals arrived safe and sound with no issues. Tracking numbers: 798274810660 , 798274787934 He gave me positive trader rating here on fauna on Apr 01, 2014 as well as a message on my profile saying how happy he was the same day. On Apr 11, 2014 I received a paypal notice saying a chargeback had been filed by mike for the $1,500 AMEX paymet, stating he declared it fraud. He said it was his mother's card and she filed it. I was then contacted by a Matt Prove on the same day, stating Mike had done the same to him. http://i96.photobucket.com/albums/l1...6-22-31-04.png http://i96.photobucket.com/albums/l1...6-22-31-13.png http://i96.photobucket.com/albums/l1...6-22-51-36.png http://i96.photobucket.com/albums/l1...6-22-51-53.png http://i96.photobucket.com/albums/l1...6-22-52-05.png Mike kept telling me that he would just sell the snakes and pay me what he owes me. That never happened. Then he dissapeared. No contact until today when he left me a voicemail, telling me to go to hell. What a nice guy, right? Stay clear of this man, he is a crook and a liar. |
Wow, you are dealing with a TRUE whackjob! Keep on PayPal with his contact with you, the more info you give them the better. Good luck!

According to you, you shipped to this friend, according to Mike, it was ten days before he even knew that the snakes had been shipped. Had you simply shipped and had a chargeback, that would be one thing. But you shipped, and then apparently resold a few of the snakes to the friend for the amount in dispute. Did you resell before or after the chargeback, and please provide proof. If this 'friend' purchased the snakes from you and did not deliver them to Mike, a chargeback whether or not it will be successful would be an appropriate response. |

Here is when I sent him the tracking info:
http://i96.photobucket.com/albums/l1...ckingproof.png If he chose to not follow the tracking info and see when his shipment arrived, that's hrdly my fault. Whether it was 10 days later he saw them or not, he didn't initiate the chargeback until the 11th of april, long after he saw the animals and picked them up (except the 2 that he still couldn't house and left with his friend to breed as payment for accepting his shippment and caring for them for a few days). Here is where he says they arrived safe and is going to go see them: http://i96.photobucket.com/albums/l1...7-09-41-31.png http://i96.photobucket.com/albums/l1...7-09-41-39.png http://i96.photobucket.com/albums/l1...3-08-34-40.png Here is the payment from his friend: http://i96.photobucket.com/albums/l1...aypalPaulE.png |

Lucille,
I don't know you and it seems that you have a good head on your shoulders. Tim needs to pull this thread and return Paul's money because he was paid in full minus the extra shipping costs. My mother is 62 and didn't understand her AMEX bill when it arrived. She was the backup funding source for all the PayPal transactions. She called AMEX and AMEX initiated fraud. When she called AMEX back to verify the charges like she did when we tried to send Tim the $6000 on Feb. 19th, the damage had already been done. All 4 people who were involved in these chargebacks have been paid( Tim gets to keep an extra $1200.....I THINK NOT!!!!!!) I do not want to involve an attorney or be involved with inane discussions.
