Beware of Ashtyn RANCE !!!
Ashtyn RANCE is a Liar and a Crook
So here is the deal, Ashtyn Rance placed an order with a guy I am trying to deal with in Africa. I had nothing to do with the deal arrangements and in no way directed Ashtyn to this guy. They worked the deal out completely independent of me. After the deal was done, I was asked to help and clear the import and forward it to Ashtyn in Florida. I have imported in the past and had no problem with it as long as they covered the cost of everything. While clearing the shipment, a snag was encountered because Air France would not accept credit cards telephonically which was how Ashtyn was supposed to pay the freight charges. After some talk back and for with Ashtyn, I fronted the money on my credit card and he would pay me via paypal. I know, crazy me, but I was concerned about the welfare of the animals. Anyway, moving this shipment went well and Ashtyn DID pay me for the shipping.
A short while later, Ashtyn sets up another shipment. Same thing happens. The one problem we have here is that the supplier in Africa is a bit flakey to say the least, we get notice of shipment at the very last minute so preplanning is a bit difficult. Anyway, same issue – Air France doesn’t know the freight charges until they receive the paperwork plus again they do not accept credit card payment via the phone. Since Ashtyn did right the first time, I figured I could trust him the second time, remember I have nothing to gain from these deals, I am just helping a fellow herper out.
So I front Ashtyn the money and pay Air France for the freight charge and move the animals to him in Florida via Delta. Ashtyn receives the animals and tells me he needs to sell them at an upcoming show before he can pay me back. Until then he does send me $400 of the $1463 that he owes me. After a while I ask Ashtyn for the rest of my money, same excuse, that he needs to sell some animals at another upcoming show and then he will pay me. He promises to pay and he repeatedly tells me he has never screwed anyone over when it comes to reptiles and he never will. Well guess what….. Ashtyn has screwed me over. He has ignored my emails and texts requesting the money and he has ignored my phone calls, recently, he answered the phone and hung up on me.
I have attached a few of our texts confirming that Ashtyn knows he owes me the money…..
You try to help a guy out and he turns around and screws you.
So beware of ASHTYN RANCE, the guy is a lying thief !!!!!!!
He lives in Florida and does business all over the south east.
