Rick Harrelson~ Be warned

Well I hate to do this~ because it’s embarrassing to admit how I helped him rip me off~ but others should be aware of him in case he gets better at his thieving and actually rips off someone who doesn’t see it coming.

Back on 10/14/08 I sent 7 Ball Pythons to Rick Harrelson. He SEEMED like a nice guy and promised me a pied from his 09 breeding season but I didn’t believe he would actually do that~ I figured he was new and didn’t realize just how much work it was to get a pied from your hets and once he figured that out he wouldn’t want to follow through on that deal. He insisted he would but I just asked that he pay shipping for the Ball Pythons and IF he proved out the failed ghost project that he send me one of the ghost babies. I really did think he was just a nice guy new at this and I thought I was being nice helping him out. Unfortunately I may have just given him snakes to rip others off with.

Shipping was cheap because he is not very far from me~ according to Mapquest only about 4 hours (Maybe I should show up on his doorstep Christmas Morning with the police to repossess my snakes? LOL!) ~ so I only asked him for the $35 shipping. He promised he would send me a check on 10/14/08 and THAT I actually believed. I figured if he was scamming me he would at least send the shipping so it was that much longer before I KNEW I’d been scammed and trashed his name.

Well~ No check for the shipping showed up~ So I emailed and asked him for it on 11/1/08. He emailed back that he would get it out that week and that he had surgery…….can’t you even come up with an original excuse? Oh well~ I knew for sure then but I didn’t want to admit on the BOI that I had helped him rip me off so I emailed him again on 11/17/08 asking for the shipping. He wrote back saying if I could still take Mastercard he would pay me. I was never able to take Mastercard…..so I wrote him back and told him I could not and it would have to be a check or paypal.

Haven’t heard back from him. So~ I hate to admit it but I helped this Jerk rip me off and you should be aware of him~

So the Search Engines can find this Bad Guy thread easier if he tries using a different name:

Rick Harrelson
201 Cabriolet Trail
McDonough, Georgia, 30253
770-843-1046
rickharrelson@yahoo.com
His name comes through on the Yahoo emails as Rick Harrel

He’s got my snakes so he may try selling them or breeding them and selling the babies~ I’m not really mad so much as disappointed in myself for believing him. I hope his name, address and phone number being listed for the world to see as BAD GUY was worth the $35 shipping.

Photo IDs of the snakes he has~
If he tries selling you these as anything but a FAILED ghost project don’t fall for it…..

It only let me put 4 pics on that thread~ here are the other three:

Darn Cheryl!

That would have been a sweet deal: 7 normals for a Pied?!

Sorry it didn't work out and thanks for the heads up!

I DO like the cops at the front door Idea Cheryl.. He has your stuff.. .. ..

Rick, scan the envelope that shows that your letter containing the check came back.
I really do not believe that you have retained an attorney for Cheryl's request for $35 worth of shipping which you had agreed to pay but so far, have not. I think you are lying. Provide your attorney's name please.

On 11/1 you promised to pay her shipping. I understand surgery, since I am a registered nurse. That might have prevented payment for a few days, but not for this long. You did not get back to her to arrange payment through paypal or the many other ways payment could be processed, but you showed up here right quick once this thread was written.

Also, I'm not sure what grounds you might have for slander. (BTW, you might brush up, libel is the word you sought). She does not seem to have made any malicious false statements, in fact you implied in your 'break thebank' phrase that what she said was true: you agreed on $35 shipping. You have not made good on your word. You are the one that needs to make reparations.
