Steven Baker of SC Bad News!!! HELP

I have recently received a phone call or two from a local reptile shop in South Carolina. Here is the situation Steve Baker and Shannon Payne who both post on Kingsnake and Fauna Classifieds are still partners in crime 100% without question. Maybe they are not living together but I am told they have been seen together recently and are defiantly working together with all there sales. These two owe me $780 owe others thousands of dollars and are NO GOOD. STAY AWAY. Do not buy from Shannon Payne or Steve Baker under any condition

I also invite everyone to View 2 intresting Links

First Link is to an artical about a previouse issue that Shannon and Steve are both mentioned it. The Repticon show in South Carolina, where 21k in reptiles was stolen.

Another Link is to Shannons new website, kind of a joke this is a link to her guest book. Seems that others have had issues in addition to me

hahahaha oh my goddness you are getting desperate to say something bad about me arent you ok lets start with you need to get your facts straight before you really look dumb that post says that im 23 thats funny i was born in 1986 which makes me 20 now but thats not it yes i was charged but did you know that the state gave me a $28,000 pr bond and dropped all my charges and i plead to misimprisonment of a felony that is neither a misdemenior or a felony! yes i new about it after the fact these kids brought reptiles up to my booth at the flea market and i knew about them being stolen and i told them to get it out my booth that was my stupid mistake but i didnt want to be involved..... see its funny you get two punk kids both with a record a mile long----steve with a juvie record----and myself with never even a speeding ticket before all this happend so i bet you can see how they gave me a pr bond because they went on two kids words with minimal evidence they didnt have my age or name right and i got a huge apology after it was all over so also check the date on that and before you go around thinking you know what your talking about realize that you are making yourself sound really stupid and im not paying for my ex's dept to --- not happening ! no one in there right mind would pay for there ex's depts and if you weren't acting like such a child you would realize i offered to help you when i said next time i saw his mom or brother i would try to get info..... this is getting old and boring and you need to stop throwing my name in something i had nothing to do with!!!!!!!!!!thank you shannon payne

Be aware that Steve's common law wife and convicted accomplice in the July 27, 2005 SC show break in and robbery is Shannon Payne. She has TONS of ads posted all over KS and should be avoided like the plague as much as Steve. After all, she is simply acting as his front. Forewarned is forearmed.

Thank you Alan, I apreciate the support and agreement. This is the absolute truth. Stay clear of Shannon Payne and Steve Baker..........

2004 alan 2004 get your dates straight if your going to bad mouth me too also you of all people should know all my charges got dropped and i do not have to pay restitution on any of that stuff and like i said that was 3 years ago this is old news i never denied knowing about it after the fact ----- your the fake " mr captive born everything" you use to buy from the same wholesaler i did but the thing was i picked through it first!!!!!!and i quote mr godino "eveyone that dealt or deals with steve baker is a bad guy" you use to buy ball pythons from him when he came up from florida!!!!!this is getting rediculous and way out of hand and again i will state that mr alan doesnt know me or has never done business with me!!!!!! this is all a target against steve baker my ex who im not paying for his depts!!!!!!! i shouldn't have too>>>>> shannon

Well Shannon, legally you may have gotten off but in this industry according to the above quote you're just as guilty as the perpetrators. You knew others were getting ripped off, and by whom, and you didn't want to have any part in it so you did nothing.

It's too bad that this is your only source of income because in my opinion you're finished.
