Thanks for the tip about the coast guard, I'm sending them the thread.

You read that wrong.

You stated twice that he was having them shipped to somewhere where the turtles were illegal.

He stated he was having them shipped to where they were legal.

Couldn't put it better myself! Thank you.

Yes, he should be more concerned with justice being done than with continuing to allow himself to be strung along by Connor. He is not. He has made his position extremely, plainly, and unequivocally evident. What are you people not getting? Yes, he's not going to do what you want. It appears no amount of coercion or browbeating will change his mind. It's done.

Do I wish Kile would do the right thing and pursue this more diligently? Yes, but remember we're talking about two children and a few hundred dollars. There is not much that's going to come out of this even if Kile tears into it like a bulldog. That's just reality. Name me the last BOI thread where authorities got involved over a couple hundred bucks.

Well said. I do wish he would go after Connor more diligently. But, he has to do what is best for him.

Dropped. Thank you, Tom.

Well sending this thread to coast guard trying to ruin my career is illegal on your part. I already sent this to my police department detective. Thank you

Lucille. Please tell me your really not trying to destroy this young mans career before it even begins. He is 17 years old and I don't think we are talking endangered turtles. Believe me I get it. This kid is very frusterating to talk to. He won't even help himself. But what do you hope to get out of sending this thread to the coast guard. Does him making a bad choice about requesting illegal turtles justify this. If Kile wants to serve his country who the hell are you to get in the way of that.

Not only that but it's libel. And I am helping myself craig. It's just that my career means more to me.

From a previous post, I was thinking that they were going to go to his house first.

both geckos are bell albino. The thing is, I'm trying to trade those geckos for baby turtles because my parents want me to get rid of the geckos. I already have turtles too that they can go with. So I can't just have anything. Its gotta be something I have room for which is more baby turtles lol

So if his parents have the phone maybe sending messages to it with all the details of what connor has done mom will see them and know exactly what he did. And how did he contact you to let you know he lost his phone? Trust me when I tell you scammers will tell you anything they think will get you to back off. I wouldn't trust anything he says.

Kile did what he thought was a good deed - he posted a warning about Connor & told his experience with us. I don't think he should be punished because he believes that it isn't worth it to pursue this legally.

Connor is the one we should be focusing on, not a young man who tried to warn the community about a scammer ...

The only thing I see about Kiles's responses, they are slightly angry and juvenile, but who can blame him? When he has members threatening his career?

As for the issue of the turtles, the point is moot as there are no turtles ...

With or without Kile's help, this does need to be pushed. This isn't the only time Connor has tried to scam people. I will say this to Kile though. By dropping it, you're not helping anyone. If you don't receive money, your geckos, or the turtles in a week, will you do more? The only way to stop scammers is to keep putting pressure on them and to keep digging up info to expose them. It's definitely a group effort. Do I think Kile should be reported to anyone? No. But he does need to step back and calm down before he posts. He is getting mad when everyone is trying to help him.
