Froggy - Has anybody heard from him lately ??

[pcsmicro]

I have been trying to contact" Froggy out of Rockwall, TX" for about a week now. If anybody has heard from him. Please let me know.


Thanks, Douglas

[Donoghue]

Same here. He was to ship me 5 pink-tongue skinks last Tuesday but they never arrived and I cannot reach him. Emails go unanswered and his phone voice mail has been full. Anyone have other contact information for him? I first worried about the skinks, then my money, but now I'm worrying about him too :-)Thanks.

[dvf1973]

i still owe him 750.00 on my deal, i wonder if i could set him up as all of these scammers cant resist more money? i will try to figure something out like send him a request for reciept via certified mail, then we can mail fraud him, this pal pal thing is getting out of hand, two rip offs for me on six 325 each snakes, thats a bunch of loot for ks and paypal to not give a <font color=red>[bleep]</font> about, have any of you reported this stuff to the ifcc, the fbi,bbb,postal service,pay pal?

Has anyone checked the local morgue?

[dvf1973]

no, but after this maybe it will be the only place he could be/should be,

. . . by sending your money to a person who goes by "Froggy."

He had such little information on his ads that it scared me. Plus, he used the word "dude" a lot - that makes the radar twitch.

I hope everything gets resolved for you people - but if it smells bad . . . .

[brucestephenson]

The best way to find Froggy would be to contact this guy Nostradamus. However, he is also dead. Fortunately, I hear he had an idiot brother, Nostradumbass, who now works at the FBI.

[dvf1973]

i swear if you heard it over the phone it was like he had a national geographic jungle sounds cd on in the background, he had to leave the "facility" during our conversation because the aviary was so loud, i got suspicious when the images of my snakes never showed up as they were supposed to? i dont know maybe he is dead? one less froggy, tee hee
damien friesz

[Donoghue]

"Froggy" is Robert Bladen. In my dealing with him, he has been forthright and never made any attempts to hide his identity or location. Until last week, he has been accessible by phone and email, has patiently worked with me for a mutually agreeable transaction. All prior inquiries about him on this forum have been positive. I think it is more likely that he is ill or involved in a family emergency and will be surprised if the situation is otherwise.
Susan Donoghue, VMD

[dvf1973]

thanks for the info"his name" i hope thats the case, i dont know him, he sounded real, i cant get my hopes up as the first week of my transaction i did not recieve my info, nor did i ever here from him again, this was weeks ago not a week ago, d

[Pennebaker]

Isnt Robert Bladen also US Global Exotics? The big company that lots of pet stores have been ordering from this past year. If so, that might be a way to reach him.
Dana

[Neil Gubitz]

No Dana.... Robert "Froggy" Bladen USED to work for Global.... he doesn't anymore.... I don't know where he went, and I haven't spoke to him since he left Global.... but Jasen (Global owner) MIGHT know how to get in touch with him.... MIGHT....
Global's phone number is 1-817-652-3000

That's funny I sent him money for 5 PTS as well and have been unable to contact him since prior to Thanksgiving ***


Douglas Sellers

[pcsmicro]

Hey maybe you can send the monies to us instead and send him an email saying he can get the monies from us !!! I can send you copies of my paypal transactions once we communicate. email me at reptilian@lvcm.com


Douglas Sellers

I hate con artists *** jason bland is the name the money went to he calls himself Froggy aka Robert maybe the site he advertises on will actually do something LOL "KS"

[pcsmicro]

Not yet, I did report it to PayPal though. I was scammed on a laptop out of $600.00 and the online fraud unit did absolutely nothing !!! for me





Douglas Sellers

[pcsmicro]

Froggy aka Robert did say his wife works for a large importer where he gets all his animals from including the overpriced critters related to the racoon I forgot the name of them now.



Douglas Sellers

[pcsmicro]

I hope that is the case. He seemed like a really nice trustworthy person. But so did the guy whom scammed me on the PC deal>>






Douglas Sellers

[Rob @ RK Reptiles]

Jason Bland is the owner of Global Exotics. Robert Bladden is the one advertising online as Froggy and use to advertise as Global Exotics. I have a different number than what is listed on his ads from the past when he purchased animals from me and from earlier this year. Those of you who need to get hold of him please e-mail me privately and I will let you have the number but I won't post it on here publicly.

[M n R-Reptile]

I have heard lots of stories from reputable people about mr"Froggy".
First off I never have dealt with him. All I know is he has been advertising turtles I was advertising and never even owned them. I found out someone else owned them and "froggy": who is Robert Bladen, said he was buying them but seems to be he was trying to sell them off before he had to actually buy them, he never bought them by the way,
Second Mario at Zoological Imports about two years ago dealt heavily with Robert Bladen to the point where out of common cuortesy and usual business happenings Robert was given an Open Account.
Well he supposedly paid his open account slowly but surely and then dissapeared with 2,100 of Zoological Imports Money. Still hasn not paid off his debt even though Mario keeps finding him all the time.
He used to work for U.S. Global Exotics which was formerly known as another company name that I cant recall right now, I think it was Texas animal export or import?
Anyways Robert Bladen is KNOWN by many in the industry for selling stuff he doesnt even own or has in his possesion. He is also known in my opinion as a theif for not paying his dues to other dealers of money he owed them.
Also the owner of U.S. Global Exotics paid I think 300 or 400 in the name of Robert.

Well thats is what I heard as Mario is a good freind of mine and the turtle dealer who owned the turtles Robert was "brokering" is a good acquaintance as well.

[Rob @ RK Reptiles]

Well I just found out that the old number I had for Robert has been disconnected.

[dvf1973]

Hi there,
please call me at 1-903-268-1609 regarding the emeralds.
thanks again,

I just got off the phone with Will from Little Critters in Quinlan. Froggy was working for him for awhile. Will told me that while he was in the hospital after his heart attack , Froggy stole a Very large amount of animal for him ( the ones he's selling on kingsnake ) . Will ask me to let everyone know that he nor Little Critters has anything to do with the deals froggy has made on Kingsnake. He is in the process of legal action at this time. It's a shame to think someone you think is a freind would do something like this when your in the hospital. Jeff frey

Just spoke to Will a half hour ago or so. He made a standing offer and gave me permission to post it. Anybody whom sent Froggy monies for animals they did not receive. contact Will and he will try to get you the same animals at cost plus shipping to help you out. Froggy ripped
him off while he was in the hospital recovering from a heart attack -- sounds like something a " crack whore "would do
lower than a snake's belly huh pretty sad if you ask me !!!

Oh and the Froggy posts on Kingsnake! That was me trying to get somebody to have him contact me. LOL

[pcsmicro]

I just noticed all Froggy's prior posts on kingsnake have been removed I copied, pasted and emailed them to him, and myself for my records. While I was checking him out online to verify I had his correct info. No home ph# unfortunately.

Any current posts on KS under Lizards or Monitors were posted by Mwaaa.

What a scum bag. Anyone can tell they way he talked with the phrases(hey gang, or dude, or lololololol) something was up. But the fact that he ripped his own mate off behind his back when he was sick was way below scum.

sorry about the mixup

Thanks for your time

[DThomas]

Doug,

You really should put all the information about this person into one thread. Starting all these different threads just spreads the info all around and makes it harder to find. So many new posts are started each day that all of these seperate posts are going to be seperated and eventually lost. Just a bit of friendly advice.

[pcsmicro]

I wasn't sure if it was too long having 7 pages.

thanks for the heads up on this.

[brucestephenson]

Dear Doug,

The rules also say that you, as the thread starter, can ask Webslave to edit your thread's title. Maybe you can ask Webslave to change it to "Has anyone seen Froggy/ROBERT BLADEN lately?".

Thanks Much and Good Work, Bruce.

[pcsmicro]

How do I ask this of webslave

[brucestephenson]

It's easy! Put on your foil hat, begin chanting the secret mantra, and type a post extolling his great virtues and supplicating for this special dispensation in the most grovelling manner that you can come up with. Then send him a large-screen plasma television.

[brucestephenson]

No, seriously, just post a reply on this thread asking Webslave to edit the title of your thread to include Froggy's real name.

Thanks! Bruce.

[pcsmicro]

It would be greatly appreciated if you could update this post to:

Froggy aka Robert Bladen Info




Thanks in advance !!!

Froggy - Good News

Froggy - called me today wants to make things right and explained his side of the story to me. I will keep you posted on how things turn out should have some news either way by Tuesday.



Stay Tuned -

[Rob @ RK Reptiles]

Doug,

I wish you the best of luck but it sounds to me like it might just be more tall tactics.

[dvf1973]

i would like my deposite back for the snakes i had on hold as he did disapear before my payment was to be finalized, now that i have all of this info i will go to the authorities with it, ther are more people in this boat, he needs to know that, damien friesz

[mercedesherp]

I wanted to bring this back to the top to find out if anyone has had contact with Robert (froggy) recently and to find out who he has squared up with. It is impossible to reach him at either tele number and there is no response to my emails. He owes me and I have been more that patient. Has anyone been satisfied with the outcome of thier deals with this guy?

[dvf1973]

you never came back on , what happened this week? did you talk to him? damien friesz

[pcsmicro]

Froggy, Did ship me 3 PTS that he owed me for the monies I had sent him. We are now officially squared up. The only way to contact him now appears to be his email: He stated he wants to get square with those he owes monies to.

bluebuttonboy@yahoo.com


Hope all goes well

[Rob @ RK Reptiles]

Doug,

I am glad you received the animals you were owed. Even though it took this long it is nice for it to be over with. Good luck with them.

[pcsmicro]

Rob, Thanks it is a relief to put this behind me, and move on to new things.

[Donoghue]

I hope Robert Bladen's conscience continues to prod him into making good. I'm still out $650 and still waiting for my herps. He is still not returning my emails or answering the phone number I have for him.
Paypal says he is at fault, but they of course cannot get the money from him and have no leverage.

i have emailed him at the blue button boy link a few times, he has not replied at all, has anyone else found this to be true? is he selectively paying out?

i finally heard from mr. froggy, its funny as we had no agreements other than the pics that he never sent, i did email him, call him later in that week to no avail, so whatever there guy, you had better hope everythings bigger in texas, heres what he wrote and what i wrote,

thats not true at all, we never had a tos to follow, you supposedlly never worked for them and i am sure he will be interested in hearing that, you were supposed to send me pics of the animals anyway, so you actually- if there was a "contract" broke it, obviously half the reptile industry is after you, i believe its called a pile up, i would take care of this as i sent you the 250.00, if i sent you 1000.00 you would have just ripped me off for a larger amount , d

[dvf1973]

heres froggys latest, remember i never agreed to any thing , he was supposed to send me pics of the snakes i was to then pay the difference, he never sent anything, he never responded to my calls, i just made contact with him in the last two weeks,

"lil critters is who you sent it to ....will sherman not robert bladen.....sorry this was not my doing...you did agree to the non refundable.....i do remember that. hear is wills email ad... gensherman_75212@yahoo.com did you try the numbers that i sent you? 903-356-0765 or 903-268-2145....he is dodging alot of people at the moment...."

i am reporting him to the devil, i hope he burns,

[mercedesherp]

Robert did not ship the animals to me as he said he would. I have not heard from him at all. It looks like I'll have to start calling him 6 to 8 time a day agian and hope I get through. Has he made good to anyone else?

[geckogirl3]

Froggy sent me $200 worth of Helmeted geckos. This was a trio, and 2 were dead within the 1st week, the 3rd one dying the following week. He was supposed to ship me some replacements, which he never did. Then he was supposed to refund my money, which he never did. Now he is impossible to contact. He is by far the most sleazy, dishonest person I have met in the reptile business. I sincerely hope he gets what is coming to him, as I suspect he will.
