well that pretty much settles that then. continue to persue the police, you have been scammed.

I've had a feeling all along that Timmy is actually the same person as another who was scamming and caught stealing pictures for his website in an attempt to scam. I might be wrong, but my gut tells me I'm right, especially since the boas I received pictures of from Timmy looked VERY much like the ones this previous scammer had up for sale. I'd never seen a steel blue hogg before, what are the odds that two guys from Michigan, who live in the same city, each have one that color (male) in a pair that's available? The IPs were different, but that's not so difficult to do.

Here's a link to the other guy. Unfortunately I am unable to get hold of the previous hogg for sale pics because they've been removed.

Does it feel familiar?

I don't remember ever looking at the reardon posts when they were still complete, but here are the pics 'timmy' emailed me:









The pics that were on the reardon posts were apparently lifted from the TKR Reptiles website, though I've searched it and can't find these pics on there.

I think I have those snakes. I answered a local ad on craigslist. They are awesome snakes very tame and quite beautiful. I did pay the 120.00 for them but he said he had to move them or move himself but he could keep the other 2 larger snakes something about a landlord. My husband picked up the snakes and checked them out so I never actually met him but he did seem upset when he gave them to my husband at least thats what my husband said. Didn't understand why he could only keep 2 snakes and really didn't care. did seem fishy but they are super healthy great temperments so my husband took them we purchaced them on March 25th. He was kinda pushing the issue on the 23 or 24 to see if I wanted them said he prefer a local to meet to get idea of home they would have, seemed like an ok deal, I was running my head off with kids parties that week.
I am soo sorry that this has happened to you!!!!!

Okay opps I forgot to go to page two. Those are my snakes and the pics he sent me. The male is appently a hogg X hypo. Again sorry.

"unreal"

If he sold the boas to someone else, then he should not have accepted the dragons. Especially since he was set to receive them AFTER you picked up the boas.

That would mean you know where he lives. Give that information to the OP. He can bring it to the police. At the very least, call the landlord and make things very very difficult for him.

i have everything on the guy....... i dont think the Michigan state police give to much of a Sh@T .... well i did get a "looking into it"

got to be a way to get people like this to pay for what they have done, of course i have a few ideas myself but life in prison isn't an option lol.there seems to be a steady rise in this type of theft as of late.i myself wont be doing any kind of trading for a long time unless its in person or close enough i can pay a visit http://www.faunaclassifieds.com/foru...s/reddevil.gif

i have never had a single issue before this one but once is enough.shame because thats a big of the hobby.... well to me anyway.

No I don't know where he lives other than Saginaw MI but he has other snakes that I know of. He has a brother to one of my hypos and I did PM the other person. I knew I recoginized the name when I seen it and the first thing I said is no way when I read his post. I thought he was a good guy a little different is what my husband said but alright. Wow were we wrong.
