    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

Bad Guy Dean Stemple Strictly Exotics BAD GUY!

According to the vendor layout, Dean is right next to me. I'm sending the promoter an email right now telling him I do not want to be next to Strictly Exotics. My hunch is that Dean won't even show up to the show, but I am still going to write the promoter and send him a link to this thread.

If you have to pay in advance, then he's already paid. I would think he would show up. If enough people complain to the show promoter about him, he might refund his money, and tell him not to show up. He is actually dealing in stolen property. Maybe people need to tell the promoter that they will not attend if Dean is a vendor. If the promoter has had to turn potential vendors away, because of the show being sold out, he could easily sell those tables to someone else.

You don't have to pay in advance at this show, but I have no idea if Dean has paid for his tables or not. I just sent an email to the promoter, alerting him to this thread.

Well whoever is unfortunate enough to have to be set up next to him, they will not only have to keep an eye out for potential thievery from attendees but from that crook too.

I'm not a vendor but I'd pay for a table next to his just for the opportunity to talk loudly and in great detail about him to where everyone could overhear.
I could keep up such a monologue for hours.

Yep! I'd love to be next to him ... see if Reagan shows up, watch what he buys/sells, speak up if he makes a sale about forwarding proceeds to Chris, nicely advise folks about his ethics and honesty. Yep! That'd be great fun! :)

I have found that signs work very well. I have a sign on the flip side of the wise sign of a vendor who bounced a check to me and when this person was vending the same show I made sure to point them out to any and all who looked at the sign. To be set up right next to someone like that at a show would be a blast, maybe not for them but at least for me it would be. :dgrin:
 
You guys obviously have a different definition of fun than I do! LOL
Or maybe just bigger cajones!
 
David... maybe you could help Kelli run her tables at the show. Kelli could talk about her geckos.... and you could talk to the customers about a con artist.

Just a thought.

As I said earlier, I may be in the area around that time and if Kelly is set up next to him and if she is willing I would certainly love to inform any and all who would think of purchasing stolen goods from Strictly "Conman" Exotics. :dgrin:

I still can't figure out why he sent me the MO for $200. If you're not going to pay it all, why bother??:shrug01:

I think he did it as an attempt to put off the full on Bad Guy title. By doing that some of us thought...."hey maybe he will make this right"......NOPE :angry:. It probably gave him a little more time to screw over more people before his TRUE intentions where known.
 
Chris,
Sadly I have to agree with Kyle. Did you see where he ripped off the person that bought the super pastel from him? Last I read they never received it!! Kept the people hoping for a good outcome off his back and defending his lame @ss!! Feeling like a fool for believing in the honesty of a scammer!!! So sorry Chris!! V/R Paige
 
Dean,
What a slimey loser you have turned out to be and what a total disappointment to those of us that wanted to believe in you. What a scammer, a thief and a liar you are for all to see.

Chris,
I was really hoping you would tell me he at least sent you a small payment. He is an idiot!!!
