Allen Exotics = Fantastic!

Hello,
Just wanted to let everyone know that I did a trade with a guy named Allen Williams, of Allen Exotics. The trade was his Adult Female Albino for my baby Male Peid. He insisted I ship first. So, I did ( nervously ). Well the very next day he called to let me know it arrived, and promptly shipped out his end of the deal, and at 11am the following day, his Albino arrive, in great health. Very nice guy!

Yeah, I just had a legit trade with this guy to... Only thing was the snake arrived dead, and I called him.. he sent me another pinstripe female, and the next day I got a box of 100 frozen small Rats from him and a letter apologizing. ( Even though it was something with the FedEX... His shipping package was great )

The above two posts were made by the same person. The subject of this thread.

"Allen Williams, of Allen Exotics" made both of this posts

Scumbag!

Young Ball Pythons (New Carlisle)

I've got about a bunch of young Ball Pythons I'm looking to rehome. I need to make some room for other breeding projects, etc. For the Normal Ball Pythons I am asking a small rehoming fee of 30.00$ for Males, and 35.00$ for Females. If interested you can see pictures on my website at Lawreptiles.tripod.com ( no " www. " )

Thanks so much

You used your Law Reptiles User Name but signed the ad with the name Matt Williamson from your Cutting Edge Exotics profile. Instead of the name Matt Beamer.

BUSTED!!!!!! Great work Dennis!

Man, Allen gave me two references and both of them turned out to be Allen just via different email addresses.

I think I'm most disappointed in myself because I was suspicious of that. Both references responded within 45 minutes of my emailing them and so I sent this to Allen:

Well both guys responded with rave reviews so either you're legit or you control all three email accounts

Just didn't really think I was right...

HAH, I thought this guy seemed shady when he emailed me wanting to trade, saying he was on the BOI, when I checked they were bothnew post's and he wanted me to ship first. See below.

Love to trade after I look you up I wont mind shipping first. Can i get a couple of pics?
Thanks
Luke.

Hello,
Would you be interested in trading your Black Pastel, for a Female ( 08 )
Mojave? If interested let me know. I do not ship first on trades, but I have
great references, and also posts about me on the BOI @ Fauna.

Thanks

Allen

He was hitting several folks with the same scenario on a couple of other forums.
Sounds like you caught on and didn't send anything.

I just cannot believe all the scam artists out in this field! When I first got into reptiles 28 years ago everyone was open and honest. Now with the internet 50% of the people you talk with are not legit with what they are selling. If you are looking for a female Super Tiger Retic,for example that is the sex of what they have! Then when you get it shipped to you it probes 100% all male! I would never ship first on any deal except to well established businesses. If it sounds to good it is a scam most of the time!!! Just go with your gut instinct when making deals and much of what is threaded about on this sight would not come to pass. Don't swim with sharks because you will get bit!
