Do not buy from Herphobbyist91
 

This seller accepted $370.00 for 4 Elgaria multicarinata on Sept. 4, 2018. The seller submitted a message claiming the lizards were not doing well. I asked the seller to try and rehabilitate the lizards and in two weeks let me know if the lizards were healthy enough to ship -or- refund my money. Since that message, the seller has not contacted me. The seller goes by two names; David Ramos on this website and by Daniel Gonzalez via PayPal. His email is denzellll91@gmail.com.
We did have a successful transaction for 3 Elgaria kingii one year ago. I'm not sure if this seller is a true scammer or if he/she died or went to jail. Either way, I'm out $370.00. I am trying to dispute this with PayPal. I will report if successful.
Sincerely,

Why did you not update your other thread? I guess the refund did not work?

Because Daniel/David saw that particular thread and responded. I thought for sure we were going to resolve the issue. He/she never said why there are two names, either. Because I have not heard from this person in over a month, I have no choice now but to report this seller as a bad guy. Bummer.

Why is this post so vague? The seller accepted 370, from who? The seller "submitred" a message, to who? Shipping date? Disclosure of admittance to sick animals? Two weeks rehabilitation, lol, to satisfy your acceptance of shipping? Woweee! Please post any and all correspondence you have regarding this deal.

From your original post of 8-28-18 (again)

"Story: Seller with 4 Elgaria multicarnata photos. He wanted $65 each plus $60 flat rate shipping. I paid via PayPal within hours of the post, with extra just in case shipping was more ($370 total). Seller asked if I could "confirm receipt" before lizards were shipped to release the funds. I refused, within hours seller refunded PayPal money.
Conclusion: likely a scammer."

Did you, or did you not get your $370.00 refund for those lizards, Kit? A simple yes or no will do. Thank you.

The flags are already waving for seller's dual names, just answer refund question, please.

No, I did not get a refund.

Thank you, Kit. I was just trying to understand why you had previously stated the seller issued a refund, but then you posted this new warning.

I'm sorry you did not receive your money back. Obviously Herphobbyist91 aka David Ramos / Daniel Gonzalez / denzellll91 @gmail.com is one to be avoided.

This issue about 'David' vs. 'Daniel' was previously brought up in a prior 2016 BOI report. 'David' said the following regarding 'Daniel'...

Anyone see any red flags based on the kinds of animals being offered for sale?
Issues if you lived in Arizona vs. California?

'David' & 'Daniel', or simply just Daniel?
