Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

Gee from the number of people that paid deposits and have not either been refunded or received snakes I would thing Justyn is well on his way to sending his business (Intense Herptoculture) down the toilet.

Not so fast Al.
I had a long conversation with him last night and he assures me he will make refunds or deliver the ordered animals. I'll give him a week.
If he fails, I'll jump on this bandwagon..

Assurances shmorances. Money talks and bullsheet walks.Those who have requested a refund after waiting long enough for the animals that they ordered should be receiving the refund or the animals they ordered yesterday....not in a weeks time. You take someones money and you cant live up to your end of the bargain or cant give them back that money at the time of request and you're deadbeat. Simple as a pimple. No one should have to go through the hassle of disputing the charge through a credit card company to get back what they gave in good faith. And sadly thats what one or more folks complaining in this thread have had to do so far.
I'd like to hear more of the Ken Yanek deal because it seems he got totally screwed. Hopefull he'll have more time to post the specifics of his transaction soon.

Chuck,
I suggest you re-read my post.
The 3 people I talked to about their transactions with Intense, told me they were willing to wait and work with Justin. Let's see how it plays out.
I said I'd give him a week. I believe he will do the right thing.
If I'm wrong, then I'll kick it.
I would suggest in the mean time, don't be such an antagonist and a jackass.
You, yourself, has no stake or claim in this. You are playing Devil's advocate, and playing the part horribly.
Randal

You know Ken, you failed to mention a e-mail I sent you regarding the refund, I told you the same thing I told Erik.

My question is has anybody out there received either their snakes or refunds as of yet? If so please speak up.

Craig, both you and Ken sent the money through Ken. I understand youa re two different people but it is the same order in my book, please do make make it sound like two different transactions.
I am catching up on a few jobs this week I need to take care of as well as expecting a few people to finish transactions with my shortly. When they do I'll refund your money and Ken's just like I stated in Ken in an e-mail.

I was also promised a refund over a week ago & that has not showed up either. At this point I do think this is very much a scam, but I could be wrong. I also would like to know if anybody has recieved their order or their refund.

Out of curiosity Randal, what is your stake in this? If nothing then it's a bit hypocritical of you to insinuate that Chuck should mind his own business while you are free to post your own opinions and speculation.

No problem Randal. I was hoping he would have came through before all this Bru-ha-ha started. The hobby has enough issues from outside without any of us having to deal with "internal" crap like this. I would be very pleased if he did come up with the animals. We can always use another supplier as long as they deal fairly.

Sam,
I have no stake in this.
As I said eariler, I talked with Justin about this problem, BECAUSE 3 people contacted ME, assumming I could remedy the situation.
These 3 people knew that I knew Justin, and they wanted MY opinion of the situation.
That's all, nothing else.
I put the word out that I wanted Justin to call me, and he did.
He told me he would remedy this. I reported this.
The 3 people that contacted have vended at my shows and know that I know Justin.
I am not a mediator. I simply passed the info on to Justin when he called.
Again, Sam, I have no "stake" in this.

Justin,
You did indeed send me an email about the refund, I am not disputing that. You have definately been extremely responsive to all of my inquiries both on the phone and via e-mail. Because of the excellent communication I have felt less concerned about the situation than I would otherwise. I'm just curious as to whether anybody on the board has received snakes or refunds yet. I just know I would feel a little less worried if someone said they had. You can't blame someone for worrying while being in this position. Especially when they have wives being nosy asking questions I would rather not anwser.
cordually,
Ken
