Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

Yeah, I want to see all these "harassing" texts that I sent.
If you are referring to the texts inquiring about where my shipment was then yes, I sent those.
If you are referring to the texts telling you that the police were investigating it and that I was done dealing with you, then yes, I sent those too!!
I'll take some screen shots and upload them soon.

This was the night the Helix was delivered...
This was when I inquired about whether or not he finally shipped my package...
This is when he blatantly stated he wasn't shipping animals...

And since he wants to keep implying that "the cops have been called", "I have been told to leave him alone", etc??? All lies too.
The only contact between myself and the TSD was when I notified them. They have never contacted me about "harassment" as he has no evidence to back this claim up. Just more lies from a criminal.

Steven,
Asking you about a debt in a public forum is not considered harassment. If he were to make threats to you openly then yeah I could see that as maybe being harassing. Since you claim to have sent him something in the mail it should not be that hard to show some sort of proof. Especially if you sending "cash" in the mail means a money order. Would I buy from you? No. Would I sell to you? Probably not. I do not like the way you have handled yourself here, but that does not excuse the way you have been giving Jeff the "runaround". Just make it easier on yourself and do what you have to in order to make this deal complete or simply give him his equipment back.

Steven offered me "everything".....
Now the pieces of the puzzle are fitting together a little more....
On Dec 19th Steven texted to ask if I still had my female high-white pied available. Guess he was hoping to get her (for free or trade?) to be able to send the two Pieds to Jela's Phat Phibs?? I told him I decided to keep her.
On or about Dec 26th, Steven called to tell me he had to get rid of his Pied because his mother is too afraid of him (guess she didn't die on Christmas day). He wanted to know if I was interested in him. He said "I'm selling everything, the cage, lighting, xpensive water bowls, lights, hides, heat tape, and the Helix thermostat". I told him at this time I would only interested in the Pied and the Helix and I gave him a low-ball price for both. Never heard back on that one.
On Jan 4th Steven says he has a friend "Tony" who was interested in some balls and would it be okay for him to give Tony my number. I thanked him for the consideration and told him that would be fine. Then he texts me and tells me this guy is looking for a male spider, female pastel, female pinstripe and a het for pied female. He asked did I have them and how much for all. I said "just have the guy CALL ME and I will discuss it with him". Then Steven texts and says Tony wants him to text me to see if I will take $175 for all....because that's all their worth! He irks me with this one and I blatently tell him "I don't deal second party.... if he's interested in my snakes, tell him to call me". Obviously "Tony" never called. This had to be an attempt to pick up a bunch of snakes to "bargain with" in the future?
I didn't hear from Steven again until Jan 10th and then it's a totally different number (up until this time Steve's number was a 417 Missouri number), a LOCAL number so I didn't know who this was. The text is asking me if I have any male bumblebees and a female super pastel? I respond with my answer..
have female bees het hypo and no super pastel. Then he responds "would you have anything I can trade for my Pied....I'm getting my own place". I asked "Is this Steve?" He responds yes. He further asks if I had anything co-dominant, male and female, that we could work a trade on...he wanted to call, but I told him too late. I did ask if he was getting his own place...why not keep his Piebald now that he will be away from his mother? He responded
"I can't afford to buy a female for him".
I won't be surprised if Steve disappears from here and moves on to another place to continue his scamming.
WOW STEVEN!!
I'm always careful in my dealings....this is a good example of why!

Steve told me numerous of times he purchased his piebald from bhb as a male regular piebald for 1200$.....hopes this clears things up a bit....

Being a personal friend of his can you give us some insight on this situation? I was hoping that he was a young kid stupidly trying to scam people but now it looks different.

I called shenanigans on his pastel pied Facebook ad lol. He was asking for the exact animals he asked Susan for. Stevie you will find that this hobby is full of a close knit group of people and word gets around quick. I would make all wrongs right as soon as possible as to start cleaning up your name.
