Dan Costello

Calling the police is a good start you now need to ask them when they call back Monday (Holiday weekend) to speak to a crime investigator. Dan thought he had me until I had investigators from the PA Police at his door I was able to out smart him and got my money back he also claims he is in the military which I highly doubt if you look through the BOI you will find many more posts on him.

There is one thing I don't understand. If you thought you were buying my gator and every email I sent you included my name (Jesse) then why would you send money to a guy named Dan Costello? Im not at all trying to badger you, I just don't understand how this happened. I just went through my sent folder and the last time I wrote you (prior to the July 7th) was on June 24th when I offered to knock the price down to help defer the expensive shipping costs.

Dan hasn't yet used the PM system for his scams, or at least I have not been informed of that...everybody tells me email or (offsite) IM. The simple reason - he can't pretend he is the person selling if he is PMing from another account.

I did originally put my email in the ad. I edited the the thread after HHMoore advised me on the legality of owning gators in the state of NY, as my original ad stated that I would meet NY customers halfway. I just chose to go with a simpler message.

Sorry it took awhile for me to add to this post but "fat cobra"

is none other than Jesse J. Fricker which I have now confirmed.
He has used several alias on this forum and is currently banned.

He has used the same scenario where a customer sent a money order and in return he sent nothing.

He is a self admitted thief that has stolen from members of this forum and is currently bypassing his ban which is being rectified now.

Other Alias include

James Skinny and Jennifer Skinny. You can also search these here on Fauna.

I'm glad to hear that "fat cobra" ended up being a shady character regardless of whether or not there were any actual ties to Costello. For a while I almost felt bad about crashing the alligator ad and linking up to this thread. I was hoping to ellicit some sort of interesting response, but didn't think much of anything would come of it. Good catch, Dennis.

I am actually glad also because I felt bad for putting the user anme Fat Cobra out there if they weren't doing anything wrong. I now feel better. Jesse actually sent me a video of him holding the gator and stuff. I can't believe i about got scammed twice. He said he would accepot Paypal though.

After all this trouble I was wondering if anyone knew of someone trust worthy to purchase a baby alligator from. Thanks

damn jackie-ive been sitting here stoned as fuck reading all your threads. im so exhausted im about to mail you a damn gator for free! sheeh
