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.

I'm not sure how he's sending anybody anything when he said previously
I don't have 1 snake in my house. Just a chameleon.
Pretty tough to ship an $800 fire when you have no snakes...
And as far as the snakes being dead when I shipped I don't even know what to say to that considering I agreed to ship first, five days before I was to receive anything in return.

Sounds like a great start, Sam. Much luck and if I can be of any help at all please don't hesitate to ask.
I agree that he's a chicken turd. Not to insult the chicken turd of course. All the threats, the telling that that's not his real address and blah blah blah is just BS to try and throw people off his trail. I am so, SO thankful I found this thread and was able to figure him out before he ripped me off. I probably would have gone through with our deal today otherwise.
Here's some of my PMs with him from BP.net, for what it's worth:

camera deal
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hi Matt,
Is there any way I can speak to you on the phone about a camera deal? I am looking for snakes, and while cash is short, I DO have a circuit city card with plenty of room on it. I propose a trade, you pick the camera, I have it shipped to you, then you ship the snake/s. I'd just like to talk to you about what you have available.
My number is 304-xxx-xxxx, and my name is Shadera, but you can call me Sherry if it's easier. Thanks!

Re: camera deal
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hello,
My phone is messed up right now. But, I do have AIM, AOL, Yahoo, and other messengers. How much were you looking to spend? Seems like a good deal, and funny to. Like buying a snake on a Circuit City card lol.
Let me know about how much you're looking to spend, and I will message you back with what I have around that price range.. Than you can let me know which one interests you, and Ill send you some pics.
Matthew

Re: camera deal
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Would you be willing to let both the ghost female and the het pied female go? I'm not sure how nice of a camera you're wanting, but I'm definitely willing to go that high. That ghost gal is really nice! Orange ghost is she?
How would you prefer to do this deal, then? If you're close enough to me (I'm in WV), I guess we could meet up? Otherwise who ships first? Only feedback I have is the folks who I've given a lot of money to. LMAO

Re: camera deal
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Yeah, I would be willing to let them both go, since I'm not working with any Pied Projects this year. I'm working on Pewters, Some Bee projects, and Fireflies to name a few. When it comes to shipping... It's up in the air for me. I prefer to have you ship first ( Nothing personal ). If that's a problem just let me know. I have ALOT of references I could give you, and you could contact them. I'm not here to rip off anyone, I just need a camera, and have lots of Ball Pythons. So, I mean it's up to you. If you want to do this deal, how would we do it? You said, I go to the circuitcity site.. Pick of a camera of equal or less value.. Run it by me please

Re: camera deal
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I'll go ahead and ship first, then. No offense taken at all. And I hope you take no offense in my saying that I would of course take all legal action available to me to get my money back if you don't ship.
Please pick the camera you want, and I'll see if I can have it shipped directly to you, or if there's any way you can pick it up at your local circuit city if you like. (sometimes they want you to have the card it was purchased with in order to pick up, so that might not work)
Let me know, I have card in hand.

Re: camera deal

No offense taken, as I would do the same thing in your position. If I could pick it up at a local Circuit City that would be great, becaus they just built a new one not even 5 minutes from me. After I pick on out, when will you be ordering it? If you order it by this weekend, than I will ship the snake out Monday for Tuesday morning via FedEx overnight. Please may I have your full name and shipping address. And let me know as soon as you find out about the pickup thing.

I won't be able to find out about the pickup thing until I place the order, which I am ready to do right now. If we can't get you pickup, I will have them ship it as fast as they possibly can.
My name and info is as follows:

Re: camera deal
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I apologize, I'm no longer comfortable with this deal. I've had the circuit city window open and ready to buy since about 5 o'clock and have been waiting on you to figure out what you wanted. I had no problem even with you having no feedback online even though this would potentially be a $7-800 deal. The ecards cannot be purchased without a price or the info to send it, yet you just wanted to chat via IM for some reason. When I'm doing business with someone I prefer to get everything hashed out without the idle chitchat, otherwise just makes me doubt people.
Again I apologize, and I hope someone else can help you get a nice camera.
Shadera

Re: camera deal
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I offered my number in my very first PM to you at what, 3 or 4 pm yesterday? You didn't want to talk then via phone, and now I'm just way too nervous after all the indecisiveness to do this at all. Yeah it's on a store credit card, but that's still real money I could lose. And as far as offering to ship first....you said yourself within the first few PMs that you wanted me to go first so that was never an option. No offense at all meant here, but I think I'll just wait till I get all my layaways paid off then buy from someone with some online feedback.

Chris,
I wouldn't worry about anything that fool claims, whatever name he's using. I'm wondering just how many people he's actually pulled this with.
I live in a 'burb (Hudson Lake) of a little po-dunk town here in Indiana called New Carlisle. You can literally throw a rock from one end of town to the other. If something like this was brought to the authorities here they'd be all over it like stink on a cow paddie! It would be the most exciting thing to happen here in probably a decade.
Hope you get things sorted out and the conniving sleaze-ball gets what he truly deserves.
I feel sorry for Brian at BHB. I think he really liked this guy and it's tough to find out those you thought were friends aren't really who you thought they were after all.

What is the dollar tally on the stolen snakes? Yes stolen. Is it over the grand theft mark?

Chris, if you don't receive the animals, I would do the same as Sam with first filling reports at your police dept. and then his.
About a year ago, I helped someone out with a similar situation by emailing directly the district attorney's office that covered the small town of a scammer. One of the assistant's really helped out on getting the ball rolling with giving contact information for the right detective that did follow up.

Just Chris's spider het albino female alone is well over a grand. For me it was an 08 ghost male and mojave male. It was almost another 07 ghost male and 08 mojave male if Chris had not stated this thread. Thanks again Chris for starting this!

I am not sure and don't want to do it if Matt Beatty is a separate person.
I think they are one in the same.

The last name Beatty matches for the name at the address given by AllenExotics.

In my opinion, More than likely that's his real last name.

And just to add a little more mud ... Clark County Ohio Auditor records show the residence at 913 Leatherwood is owned by a (female name) M. L. Washburn. Wasn't Washburn a name he used also?
I know his son may not share his real last name, but his son's initial are L. A. W(illiamson) .. hence LAW reptiles.
