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 posted this on the tegutalk forums a few days back. I would rewrite it but I just got home from a 7 hour drive and I am extremely tired, but I needed to get this out here.
Quote:
I have had a deposit down on a tegu since last year in October (For an 2011 All American though). Due to a move I couldn't spend the time to raise a tegu so I decided to cancel my deposit and when I asked Bobby for a refund, he did not respond to me for 3 days, so I just reversed it on Paypal and about an hour after he calls me, pissed off of course, and asks me to stop it and he would refund me. So, I apologized reversed my Paypal dispute and well... I never got my money back.
So I went though about two months of going back and forth of him claiming that paypal wouldn't allow him to refund me and supposedly that the money order I requested (since I wasn't getting it through Paypal) was returned twice which I know is BS since I have had people ship stuff to me from Florida before multiple times to my address. So after being fed up for 2 months of that nonsense I just decided to make it my deposit again on a 2012 All American (big mistake). That was in December.
Now all I am getting is what has been described on this forum, non-responsiveness from Bobby, and having no idea what is going on and if we are going to see a refund, or a tegu, and I am getting extremely irritated.
Unfortunately, since I feel that I never will get my tegu, I pursued my other interests and reptiles and I can no longer can keep a tegu since I no longer have room for the cage it will require when it is an adult (I do have someone who can take it if I ever get it). It breaks my heart that because of all this, I've almost lost my interest in tegus.

I will get some emails up that I have had between Bobby if needed, but I wanted to make sure I got my story in.
I also will be putting in a Paypal complaint by Friday if I do not receive word from Bobby about the tegu, or if no one else does, since last time I checked PC, Fl. weather forecast, this week was all sub-90 degrees as well as my area.

Since the deposits were made so long ago, I don't think PayPal will do anything about it. If you used a credit card, or direct transfer from your bank account, I think your best bet would be to see if you're still eligible for their buyer protections programs. I wouldn't waste any time with it. No more benefit of the doubt, for that guy. Do what you gotta do, immediately.

I wonder how many more people are going to show up saying Bobby Hill has taken their money then stopped communications with them?
Sounds like the claims are adding up to a big number.

I am really surprised no one has gone to "see" home yet. I mean he has screwed a lot of people over now.

Paypal is now conducting a fraud investigation into Varnyard Herps Inc. I just got off the phone with their fraud department. Everyone who has been scammed by Bobby should call paypal customer service & tell them you have more information on an ongoing fraud investigation, and give them all the details.
From paypal.com, go to Contact Us -> Call us.
If you are logged into your paypal account they will give you a one-time passcode to enter right when you call, which will take you to the front of the waiting line.

I'm confused on one point. I thought Bobby was a Admin on Tegu Talk but just noticed that one of the moderators said it was "Josh".
I also noticed there was a line crossed over his user name. Does that mean he is banned?

The scope of the investigation widens.

I am a moderator on TeguTalk. Bobby is no longer associated with the site in any way. He sold it to Josh, the admin. the whole atmosphere of the site is quite different now.

Here's his contact info, directly from his site's TOS page. Also, assuming that this information is correct, here's his address:
