Text from sgambino. These people are nuts we already went through the PayPal proces. Just one of those customers

People will do anything to try and scam a business these days

Here's what customers say


I am very pleased with my purchase of an Italian Leather Back, Red Flame Tiger, Bearded Dragon. He was even more beautiful once we could see him in person, talk about love at first site. Very high quality, just as it stated on the web page.
Ben was very willing to answer any questions I had, he did so honestly and responded quickly to them.
There was a delay in getting the purchased shipped, but this was not the sellers fault, and Ben was wonderful at keeping us informed of the issue, and updated on the shipping progress.
I plan to do business again with Vivid Dragons!

Another testimonial

After harassing didn't bully me into giving her a full refund she wanted half then 25 dollars and once Denied that she went on to the txt and calls. She took it to PayPal PayPal ruled against her so now she is collecting pictures from here and my site as though it proves she got the wrong dragon.cshe received the exact dragon pictures and paid for end of story.

I hate to be the bearer of bad news but these threads can't be deleted. So why should we believe you are in the right and the op was wrong? The op has posted plenty of evidence other than a few text sent after the op received a DIFFERENT dragon than they ordered, where's your proof to support your innocence? You can't possibly expect us to just take your word that you did absolutely nothing wrong, if I told you I have 3 eyes would you just take my word and not ask me to prove it?

Actually the OP never did post a screen shot of how much she sent the seller. In the texts she stated $250, which the seller didn't deny, so I'll assume that's what she paid.

And yes, based on the markings it also looks to me like she received the critter advertised for $225, not the one for $250.

Providing alleged testimonials (they are not screen shots) of other transactions is not providing proof of what happened in this transaction.
This thread will not be removed. A Paypal decision is not proof, they often decide on the basis of a tracking number that something was received, they certainly have neither the time nor inclination to discern differences between two lizards.

Take a look at the pictures/evidence provided by the OP. If you are saying that's not how it went down, provide better proof of your own that supports your side of the story.
