Francesco Munoz of MOC Reptiles

Kody, this was a lesson for you. Next time you will know to pay for critters (or make a deposit if the seller specifically says he will hold with deposit) if you are very interested in an animal.
I am still concerned, and you have not replied, as to how you were able to know that positive reviews for this seller were fake. Or did you just make that up because you were upset?

I don't appreciate the implication. I've done nothing to suggest malicious intent, and yet I'm accused at every turn. I said in my second upload post, I made the review on the page. My review and the rating for the company both reflected this. In a matter of hours, my review was then removed, and there was only shown many 5-star ratings and a single 4-star. I circled where my review was previously added to the total rating, and was subsequently removed.

So you in fact have no idea whether the good rating was valid, and you simply alleged that it was falsified.

As far as, like many of you have stated, "you should have gone through with the deal if you were interested," I was doing so. I got his payment information, and I was in the process of buying the animals (responsibly), when everything occurred. This is why I posted the screenshots.

Do you have an alternate reasoning behind my review being shown and applied to the total rating, and then suddenly not being so?

It's no wonder people are hesitant to speak up in this community.

In addition, how could a rating which suppresses any nehative content being expressed be considered valid? ��

I empathize that you did not get to purchase the critter, and I think you have learned how this all works so it won't happen next time.

But you can't just make up and post negative stuff up with no proof. You can, but people will see it for what it is and doing that reflects badly on you.
This community would say the same thing if people made stuff up about you, they would ask for proof.

You are welcome.

I see where Kody is coming from one the falsified rating, he is saying that since his review was deleted, their current 5 star rating is false.

Also, by deleting his one star rating, it is possible that the page has deleted other one star rating.

And what, exactly, would qualify as proof, in your mind? Evidence of my conversation, both if my reviews, and the subsequent scrubbing out of my role in the overall business rating apparently don't count, so what would? Nothing I do or show seems to matter, so there's not much point in continuing to get my own reputation trashed because I had a business complaint.
