Ryan Respeto-Hardy: Respeto Bait Company, Southern Feeder Co

I am inquiring if anyone has purchased roaches or other feeders from this person. Even though he seems to be one of very few consistent sources of discoid roaches, there are a few reasons why I'm hesitant to order from him. His ebay page, respetofishing, has less than favorable reviews. His facebook group, Southern Feeder Co., is a closed group and leaves no option for reviews. He is also relatively new to the market with the FB group set late January. Lastly, when he sends invoices via paypal he requests payments by phone. I've honestly never seen that option before so I'm not sure if I can be covered by paypal or cc companies if needed. I know can get discoids from Kyle, but I like to get different strains of roaches from multiple providers. However, I'd like to see if anyone else has experience with this provider before taking a chance.
Thanks

Google is your friend

Not saying it's the same young guy I saw with the FL arrest record and possibly fictitious company names, but I would proceed with extreme caution, especially since his name is not exactly common.

Do you have any other info? Re: FB URL, email, phone, location?

This is what I could gather.

FB Profile: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php...587434&fref=nf
FB Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/SouthernFeederCo/
Ebay: http://www.ebay.com/usr/respetofishi...p2047675.l2559

The number Paypal gave me is 772-267-7203.

According to eBay, the item locations are Stuart, Florida. A search of the phone number results in Port Saint Lucie, FL which is close by.

I didn't think to search google.

It would appear that this is the same person. Palm City is in the same area as Stuart and Port St Lucie.

Yeah, that's what I was talking about. I saw that. Forget Fakebook/Ebay ... anyone can make up anything/everything and create whoever/whatever they want to be.

The phone number, 772-267-7203/ REH Lawn Services, is also suspect.

I just purchased 50 discoids from him, yesterday I received the tracking #, so far legit. Let's see tomorrow if the order looks good to go. I'll chime in then

Ok ladies and gents, my shipment arrived via usps earlier today. Everything looked good, he even added a little extra to account for any possible die offs, all the roaches made it alive and as described. Can't speak for anyone else but I have no complaints about his service or products.

Just for your own future reference, PayPal will assist you in recovering funds on bad transactions even if you don't directly use PayPal as payment so long as the card in question was linked to your PayPal account prior to the transaction.
