REPTILES PLUS IN FLA THEIVES!!! BUYERS BEWARE!!!

The "inc" changes it enough. You wouldn't want to know how many similar names exist.

And......why use the same name as a "bad" business in the same state targeting the same customer base? I would think that any new startup company would make sure they were not associated in any way with an undesireable business.

Very weird......

It is an issue we are trying to stop. We incorporated the name, so the name is ours to my belief but I am not sure. I am having my lawyer look into it. The only thing that I think may throw it off, is that he is "Reptiles Plus", and we are "Reptiles Plus, Inc."

Thanks

Trust me it wasn't intentional. I didn't realize the rep the name had but I have it now and am doing my best to make it work for me

Thanks

You have the corporation registered, but he does have the fictitious name:

Your lawyer will have fun sorting that out.

Actually it is totally legal to have the same business name as long as it's added with a Inc, LLC,LLP etc... I'm a Contractor and there are a few company's with the same name but I'm corporate'd with a LLC and that makes the difference. As long as you keep the Inc with your name, I don't think you'll have a problem with people confusing you both. JMT

I'm sure Debbie is enjoying your low low prices.

look what happen months ago is unfortanate if i could have handled it agian it would have been done differently. but i am not perfert!
I make mistakes and I learn from them and move on. lets get over it now! people have the right to do business with who they wish too! you can make everybody happy in this business and i will not try too. just remember its only business never personal! I still have the best reptile prices around and i am here to stay!

also what soo funny about this whole thing is the other so called
Reptiles Plus claims to not know of my existance before. which i question also claims to be the good guy but his prices as soooo high. yet he trys to steal whatever custome base i have for his benefit! come on he can spend all of this money ON buying the name Reptiles Plus knowing this its already registered to me. what kind of business person does this? i guess if anything i would question doing business with a person who does this. COMMON SENSE!!!
