Anyone know "gracie" Diana Mason from Rare Earth Exotics

Hi All,
Here's the story thus far:
1. I posted an ad for certain Milk snake I was looking for. I get a response from "gracie" Alias Diana Mason from Rare Earth Exotics, and reply in kind to her. She offers the snake to me for $50. agreeing to let DHL bill me in the future for the shipping. She says she can only take money orders right now so the next day I send a USPS money order for $50. to her.

Okay about 10 days have gone by now and I emailed her asking her to let me know when it arrives, also to let me know when she will ship as I am only home two days of the week anyway and those would be perfect days.

No answer.

I email her again a few days later and...No answer

I PM her the next day and no answer, I can see she read my PM as well.

Since then she answered none of my inquiries. I was just concerned about delivery because I wanted to be home to guarantee live safe dlivery.

Needless to say I start to worry. So yesterday I called her....as soon as she asks who I am and I tell her she hangs up!!!!! (or we get cut off???)


I call her back immediately and it goes to messaging of course! I leave a message very calm and cool asking for the info I requested in email and stating, for her to call me and clarify whether it was her phone dying or she hung up on me and why.

I email her some more and NOTHING.

What should I do? I have dealt with similar cases twice before. Once I went to Atlanta to confront the guy, needless to say I got my way in the end.
The other time I contacted the jerks local Police dept and also the USPS mail fraud dept. As well as the local DA mail fraud dept in his town. Within 2 weeks I had my goods and some ridiculous excuses.

I know it has only been 2 weeks but, she's in PA and the money would have been there pretty quickly. As well, it would have certainly been there by now. That she hung up on me is pretty clear and has refused to answer any emails or PM's.

I think it's time to put the pressure on here and on other reptile related forums. What say you?

Time to gas up the car and take a little drive.

Dennis, sorry for the misplaced thread. Wilomn....you are right on!

Okay, after reading those other threads or as much as I could stomache, it's safe to say that I've ben taken for my $50. If I do not hear from Diana Mason or Rare Earth Exotics AKA gracie by Sunday on Monday I am filing every possible report I can file and use any legal measures possible first.

After that, I have no problems making my way to the Scranton/Wilkesbarre area and being Police escort if necesarry to Diana's home.

Diana, you have til Sunday and then I promise you for the measely $50. I will turn up the heat most definately. I am the last person to scam, trust me.

In the meantime, anyone reading this that has a pending transaction with this woman, I suggest you re think your purchase/trade and go with someone credible instead.

Hey, wait just a darn minute there buster. I thought I, capitol I, was the last person anyone wanted to scam.

AHAHahahahahahahAHAHAHAHAHahhahaHAHAHAHAHahahahaha HAHAHAHaha

Good luck and I wouldn't bother waiting any longer, it's a nice weekend for a drive.

This thread has been moved to the BOI.

Look what I found out with just a few phone calls:
Rowland Post Office 570-685-7080 102 Salverson Road Rowland PA 18457

Diana Mason 570 493 1058 Age 21.
po box 187 rowland pa
18457

David (age 54) & Laurel Mason - These must be her Parents and she's using their PO box to commit Mail Fraud.
Church Rd.
Rowland, PA 18457
&
PO Box 187
Rowland, PA 18457-0187
(570) 685-4634

I will make some calls to the Parents and see what they can do about this on their end, if anything.

Rock on Richard!! Turn up that heat to charcol. Good luck and keep us up to date.

Thanks Junkyard! She has until Monday. I called her Parents and of course no one was home. If they are like most parnts they will pressure her to make this right and with a little luck I will hopefully have an answer by Monday. If not, as I stated on their answering machine, I will contact the local authorities and they will often at least make a home visit to see/hear their end of the story.

That is usually enough to change things. We shall see...

With the abundance of prior scams already attributable to her, and you can be certain there are more, I would see no reason for optimism that anyone associated with her at any address would have a role that wouldn't include accomplice.
