Lesly Erin Crested Gecko Scammer - Exoticleecrested

Lesly Erin's Facebook page is active so we can assume she's not six feet under, though the LeslysGeckos Facebook page linked in the OP that was working a week ago is now kaput.

Considering that the "business" web site is still up, with Lesly's name, email address, phone number, and picture still on the Contact page, I have a hard time believing the "someone else took over" story. Usually when you take over a business you take over everything, you don't leave the prior owner's contact information on the web site.

Yes, I understand that but usually the customer puts out a warning when it first happens. So for her to say this now is just hilarious and they expect to get a refund? I do not condone what Lesly did but how are you going to pop back up in the sellers life from two years ago and demand a refund. That seems to me that this person truly did not care about this money if they let it slide for two years. If I were the seller I would not refund you after two years either.

Im sorry for what you went through but it's your fault for being in the position you are in now because you should have taken action sooner!

There was not much to do in reality, when you tried contacting them via email, calls, emails.. Their facebook was inactive. I was not going to add her facebook to claim a refund, that was unprofessional, apart from that I never checked her real facebook. It doesn't matter whether she gave me a refund or not, at least a proper apology would of been acceptable. I only started looking into this once again because she became active again. Like I told the person behind the facebook it is a moral thing rather than a money thing. If she has the guts to come back to sell geckos after she scammed two so far known people, that just reflects on her as a person with very little morals. I made this overdue post solely to warn people and to documment this happening. She still technically owes me $210 even if it was 2 years ago. If she doesn't want to pay that's fine, let her live with it. You can never truly forget you were robbed money but there is no point in dragging a dead horse.

Thats not what it seems your whole entire thread is about money and how you told the "new owner" about the money so you did want the money. You stated it your self

Well of course, I paid $210 and nothing was delivered. I would not move mountains for the money, that's what I meant. The thread is mostly about how this person scammed me and another person. You say "after 2 years no refund", that makes little sense considering Lesly Erin dissapeared and despite my attempts to contact her she was truly gone. For beginners you wouldn't be in a position to refund someone 2 years later unless it was a special case. My thread has not been entirely about money however, money is part of the issue because that is what she stole, and as stated above she did this to another person. On top of everything I was patient and gave the person behind the facebook time to respond, I was interested in knowing what really happened, that was my first time buying geckos online and it wasn't a good experience.

Haha you are funny. If you owned a story and someone came to you asking for money or product from a incident 2 years ago what will you do? You would not give them anything because it was two years ago!

You could have always filed a claim with paypal

This is to magic maker. Are you a seller and if so what do you sell. I just need to make a note of it.

I'm not sure if you've read anything on the thread, this woman kept prolonging the shipping until it was out of paypal claim time, in addition to that i've read that paypal rarely accept claims when it comes to live reptiles.
