James Barbato Is a low life rip-off!

Jeez this guy is a real scumbag! He stole 430.00 in reptiles.

He made an order of around $300.00 worth of viper geckos, the transaction went through fine and he received the animals. A week later he e-mailed me wanting more, yet he didn't have the money but would send it as soon as he got paid. I agreed because everything went through fine the first time. STUPID! Normally I would have done paper work but he was very anxious to get the animals and I had done business with him before and it was smooth.

He received the animals told me they arrived great and already produced three eggs for him! He asked how to incubate and told me the money would be her in about a week. A week went by and nothing. I have e-mailed him a few times and he still has not replied. Finally he closed his e-mail account...son of a must have a pretty crummy conscious.


The first transaction was fine, so I am not posting it. If any one wants it PM me.

If I need to post more just ask.

Here is the second transaction: PLEASE READ FROM BOTTOM TO TOP.


I hope early next week

YEAH SHIPPING SUCK!! but I will be here to get them
thanks luc

I strongly advice everyone to not sell to him...

Have you notified him of this thread?
I agree at this point, anyone would be pretty dumb to sell to him on credit.

Yes I have, and still nothing!
I was able to send him a message I don't know why I got a failure notice before. So I guess his e-mail account is actualy not closed. He just is not responding. I told him I would drop it if he would just respond

Ok, james just e-mailed me and we may be able to work this out...I'll keep this updated.

Luc Cauthorn

Hope he is not like a lot of rip off artists and stalling for time hoping you will eventually just go away.

Please keep us updated & if you do get it worked out please post it, since the title is very negative. Good Luck!

It would appear he didn't have to stall Luc at all or hope that Luc would just forget about it. According to the email above from Luc....the guy had all the time in the world to pay the debt off.

Just my opinion...but the title of this thread is completely and totally inappropriate after reading that email from Luc. Just cant see how the guy is a lowlife or rip-off artist for following the terms of the deal.

I think he is owed an apology.

Yes I gave him until he had the money. He told me to weeks ago that he would have the money out to me Thursday. I received nothing. I e-mailed him and e-mailed him. Finally I got a failure notice! I believed that he had ripped me off and that is why I started this thread with the aggressive title. Not for myself, but for anyone else that was planning to sell to him. After all I thought I had lost communication with him, so how was I supposed to even tell him about this thread?

Here is his e-mail stating that he could get the funds to me Thursday, remember after this message I received nothing for two weeks!

PLEASE READ STARTING FROM THE BOTTOM.

hey yes I have 3 eggs now but who knows if my incubator will work. I have some of the cash but am going away for 2 days and could not get to the bank to day due to work. ill have it thurseday

Do you think I owe him an apology? The deal was whenever he had the money. He told me he could have it out to me Thursday. When he said that he could get the funds to me Thursday, the time frame was not undeclared anymore, it had a set date.

Like I said yesterday was the next time I heard from him. I waited nearly two weeks to post this.

I do not think I owe him an apology. Do you?
