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.

This was exchange was after I realized the extent of his scamming. I was bluffing that I knew what he looked like, I wouldn't receive his photo until later. Once he realized I knew all of these details he turned it around on me like I was the one harassing him and I was the one who was a scammer. If anyone has ever dealt with a druggie then this behavior is all too familiar. I seem to remember a direct quote from my uncle: "never admit to anything, always deny it all". This was also the point where I started listening to some of his voicemails, most of them were the same threats he used in the texts, some of them were even lazy, others gibberish and then finally the one threatening the life of my wife and newborn.

Meaning you have seen the 'Omar' in question, live in person, and both the picture you supplied and the person you saw at the show match, correct?

Yes. Once I received his photo I recognized him and the woman from low balling me at the San Diego Show back in July. I'm also almost positive that Omar has contacted me before via text first inquiring about an animal and then again asking for a job which terrifies me because he easily could have followed me home if he did end up purchasing the animal. This I cannot prove unfortunately because I deleted those texts a couple months ago

This was after I received the information from Ismael Rosales about the incident at the Painted Reptile. https://www.facebook.com/PaintedReptile/ if you go to their videos it's the third video. I couldn't get him to admit to anything after this. However the idiot did call the girl in the photo "cute" which should be confirmation enough.

If anyone is really bored and has about an hour to kill on a little digging, PM me and I have a little 'fun' item. Easy, just will take about an hour.

This was more or less the last contact via text. Once again he confirms the address I have is correct. I gave him several opportunities to go away. He wouldn't even admit that he was also currently in contact with Anthony Sainz. At this point I blocked this number but he continued calling me from an unknown number which I was unable to block. By Monday morning I had 33 voicemails from him. Once I was finished giving my police report I had 34. The officer didn't care to listen to any of the voicemails but he read all of the texts after which I was told that they "take threats against peoples lives very seriously" but the officer didn't care at all about the credit card fraud or the fact that he most likely still had in possession several stolen animals in deplorable conditions. Neither did he care to see any of my evidence or even the fact that there were several other people being harassed and threatened by him. The only further action that was taken by the police was a phone call to Omar in which he claimed that I was the one who was harassing him and committing the fraud.

The one thing I'm still having trouble figuring out is Omar's connection to David Dean. If you look up the Mammoth Ave address you will see that it is registered to a "David Deane" so it is a real person. I've tried calling the number, a woman answered and when I asked for David she said I had the wrong number. It also says that David is 85-90 years old so the only thing I can think of is that this is possibly the grandparents residence who have custody of Omar's son.

It may also be a rental property.
