I sent this guy a used ceramic heat emitter. He said he was recently ripped off so could i send the emitter first. Being that it's only 10.00 i said yes. This was approx. March 6th. He said he sent money and it must have gotten lost. A few weeks later he said he will send again (yea right). Well today is April 11th and nothing. I am spam_only posting because if you will steal a 10.00 heat emitter you will steal anything. I am sending him a link to see where he ended up for 10.00. I am also posting his email stating his story of being ripped off. By the way he posted on Kingsnake.

Pay up sucker!!! *LOL* I think Alan has a good point. Ripping someone off for $10.00? That's low. The c.h.e. may have been used, but still. A deal was made and a product shipped in good faith. I guess this is just another chapter in the neverending saga of shady dealings. However, before I offer up a full condemnation of Luis, I would like to hear his side of the story. So he, if he reads this, doesn't feel ganged up on.

Just hope the Webmassa doesn't catch wind of this topic before you can post your full name. Otherwise, it's either a pinky press &nbsp;<img src="http://www.faunaclassifieds.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wow.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':0'> &nbsp;or see ya!!!

Joel...I must be slipping...I missed that fact! Oh well...consider yourself very lucky!! hahaha

But, to your problem at hand...WHAT PROBLEM?? The boy's obviously got "issues"! In my store, I've taken 100's of checks WITHOUT ID!! (Under $100, that is)...I look them square in the face, as they're going for their license, and I say, ...."Put that away! If you're going to rip me off for $20 bucks...you've got a SERIOUS problem!!" I have NEVER been stuck with a check (knock on wood)!!....
This guy's GOT a SERIOUS problem!! Thanks for the heads-up...now, go get some rest and let it slide...it aint worth the agida!! ....Neil
You did a nice thing and got screwed....welcome to the club!!

Joel,

Go to your control panel at the upper left of your screen. Go into edit personal profile. Add your signature. And presto!!! You're a made man!!! *LOL* &nbsp;<img src="http://www.faunaclassifieds.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=''>

Hey Joel,


&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;It sounds to me like Luis might be a kid ? &nbsp;I hate to judge anybody but there is nothing worse than a thief. &nbsp;Kid or adult he is a loser.

Hey Gary....Congrats!! EVERY WORD in your post above is SPELLED CORRECTLY!! YAY!!! hahahahaha

BTW....Thanks TOM!! I can't get that "darn" pinkie press out of my head!! I OWE YOU!! lol

Neil, i am not worried. I only posted to warn others. As you know if someone will not pay for spam_a emitter they are very likely to scam someone for a reptile. As for his side of the story i would love to here why i still have not recieved. I do think the emails speak for themselves but Luis enlighten us. Last thing, I did what you said EmeraldGuy and nothing.. Damn I miss the old board spam_ <img src="http://www.faunaclassifieds.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=''>

Luis occasionally posts on the Kingsnake Gila Forum. It might be worth your time to search the site. I have heard several rumors regarding him but I cannot substantiate any of them so I will not comment on what was said. I don't want to take the chance of being sued(LOL)!
