This is sad.. its not that difficult to apologize and let your customers know their are no babies.. ok your dirt broke, understandable... really it is. BUT I'm sure everyone of your customers would give you time to satisfy your agreements in some way. No one wants to hate you for ripping them off and not talking to them but what other option have you given them?

Bobby has demonstrated his disdain and lack of interest in resolving this issue by his silence over the last couple of weeks.

It is obvious to me that the individuals that have been left hanging with deposits unrefunded (not to mention that poor Irish guy that is out several hundred stolen dollars) may as well consider themselves screwed.

I think the Irish guy got most of his money:

As for Mr.Hill who should have been the one to refund me my own money i hope by the 12,000+ views to this thread you see that this is not the way to conduct business in the future.


All the best
Simon


but I think others are being left without refunds. I had hoped Bobby would have shown up and said something about what is going on. But it has been a while, I don't think that is going to happen.

I missed that post. Glad to hear it. The others are still victims though

Thumbs down

Varnyard Herps is a complete scam.

I placed deposits down in March for a male red tegu and female extreme giant. In early July when I later discovered all these stories about bobby and 2011 red tegus, I called him to make sure everything was going to be fine. He said that he had extra red breeding pairs going this season and that he was 100% certain he would have a red tegu for me. He said the eggs were already laid, and that my red tegu was in a clutch scheduled to hatch of July 16. He said my extreme giant female had already hatched, but he was waiting on the red to hatch so he could ship them together. On July 18th I called him to check in & left a voicemail. The call was never returned. I have since heard from other people that he did not produce any reds.

Looking back on it all, I believe he knew up front that he would not have any reds, and sold one to me anyway. During our initial call he sounded a little shady when talking about the reds, and kept trying to sell me on an All American. I was dead set on a red though.

Complete scam. I don't throw around accusations lightly... but this is a complete scam.

Yet another satisfied customer...

Not that it's going to help you get your money back, but you should post whatever payment invoice you have. Just for posterity, and to show how bobby "legitimately raped" yet another person's bank account. Not sure about whatever statute of limitations there may be for PayPal claims, but if you happened to use PayPal, and paid either with a credit card, or by a debit from your bank account, there may possibly be some recourse to dispute the charge.

Was the female extreme giant ever shipped to you?

Disputes must be filed with PayPal within 45 days, you then have 20 days to escalate your dispute to a claim. This is why most recommend using a credit card if there is any expectation of a delay in shipping (waiting for animals to hatch, for babies to start feeding, shipments to arrive, etc)

It was not. I eventually bought only a red male from Ty and gave up on trying to get ahold of Bobby completely.

There are a ton of people on tegutalk right now in the same boat also. I got to this BOI link from one of the many 'Where the hell is my varnyard tegu' posts.

On a side note, the red I got from Ty is awesome. Great buying experience.

As requested, a cut and paste of my paypal transaction details is below. Only editing is that I changed the last 4 digits of CC and bank account to XXXX. Note that it was for only $225. I don't know how that adds up, or if he cut me a deal because I ordered two or whatever. I think a red deposit + giant deposit should be 125 + 175 = 300, but 225 is what he invoiced me for. I guess he has adding problems also.

Meant to include this in my previous post - since Bobby claimed the extreme giant was already hatched, I'd be especially interested in seeing any communication explaining why it couldn't be sent. Of course, that would require admitting that he couldn't provide the paid for red tegu...which would in turn require an immediate refund - neither of which seem to be forthcoming from Bobby.
I didn't much care for Bobby, after some of his antics here; but I - like many - had him pegged as honest and good intentioned. I've expressed my disappointment in these developments before, but I can't help but say it again. This is just sad.
