    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 west coast roaches Daniel Penunuri

We all are entitled to our opinions.. He should not of given advice on changing someone..just plain and simple.

If you support the fact that your husband decided to set up another site selling the exact same product as one of his web design clients... then a little while later decided to lock that client out of his own site, and then take that one over as well.... then absoutely nothing I say to you will have any effect on you wanting to change someone. In alot of folks eyes you will be just as bad as he is.

If neither you or Jon Armstrong of PX MEDIA GROUP can see how ethically that is wrong from a business stand point then you need more than a free marriage counseling session. But that's just my opinion... and since your entitled to yours... so am I.
 
ive done several transactions with no problem as long as the order was small, when i stepped it up to 2thousand dubias, medium and large, I received only half my order with an iou sheet enclosed half eaten by the bugs. that was 6 weeks ago, ive been waiting and contacting him via email, facebook and phone, he no longer answers the phone, blocked me on facebook and i can still email him. I pleaded and begged him to be reasonable as a new businessman i appreciated his problems with the order and he said he was having trouble getting dubias anymore due to winters onset, ok I said send me mealworms, they can handle the cold and well be even up and settled.
I cant get a response to save my life so I finally today told him ill be filing a dispute with paypal against him and also contacting the postmaster in my neighborhood as this is considered mail fraud and is punishable by law. Im hoping he sends me a box of mealworms just to close this out, I dont want to hurt the guy and have the postmaster at his door with a warrant or have paypal lockup his monies. but ive been reasonable for 6 weeksand im out of patience now. I run a reptile rescue, im on facebook and have abuyer beware page, he is the only vendor on it currently. If he squares up at least I can post that he fixed the issue but right now hes basically telling me he doesnt care and is ignoring me. I wonder if he will ignore a summons to appear in small claims court?
I wanted to tested his claim that he was out of dubias so I ordered 500 superworms, 25 arrived dead, the order was 75 total short and 3 days later another 30% were dead, I hand counted the order when it arrived. lousy product this order and no reason for it, I didnt contact him about this because after 6 weeks i knew it was likened to a good piss into the wind. Ill never use him again and ill warn everyone who is looking for feeders, STAY AWAY FROM WESTCOAST ROACHES!!!
 
wow this thread went far from the origional search for west coast roaches sorry, I should have read the last few posts before making my own, im just so frustrated with this company ripping me of and ignoring me.....
Pls forgive the misplaced post I apologize :(
 
Now that I went back and read 12 pages I see it is the same guy, He told me his name was Jason and he lived in Tennessee and was in the process of moving to a bigger home.
I wish Id found this thread before I ordered from this bastard and trusted my hard earned monies to him, He comes in here and says he has reshipped orders that arrived dead, well how about just filling the dang order i placed and payed for in the first place??
I live on ssi disability and run my rescue off of donations and my ssi monies, he rips me off and doesnt think anything of it. God I wish I found this thread before i ordered from Him Thief!!
 
Micheal bro. I did not block you on facebook at all. I think it is the other way around. I told you last time we talked that I would get you shipped out after the xmas holiday. You didnt even allow me to return from out trip. I get back this morning and you send a message to me asking me to respond, but Im blocked from sending you messages, have been removed from your group, and cant even find you on a facebook search.

I have refunded your money for the remainder of the order as that is the only option I have at this moment.

After reading this looong thread and with my understanding of networking and all the whois lookups and extra names and denial of knowledge of them then recognition of them and other reporting bad deliveries that were fixed after being made public Im left to wonder why after 6 weeks it took my posting this to finnaly get a refund or any action at all. I sent many messages saying send something anything, mealworms would have sufficed, I operate off donations and my ssi monies, I dont have a floating fund that allows me to order from another company while I wait for this to be settled, and as I said, after reading this and the instant action taken when I posted im amazed that this couldnt have been resolved earlier by some means as I was hoping and patiently waiting and giving you the benefit of the doubt, you told me you were only in business for 3 or 4 months in one of our discusions so I was willinf to chalk it up to a learning curve, but now all this bit of the other guy that you dont know but do know and whered that name come from oh yeah its his other last name... im beside myself in confusion and mistrust, I thought the plumeria world was tricky, thisis giving me a tension headache, id like nothing better than to give the benefit of the doubt as Is my policy with everyone I meet until they hang themselves, If this is a game of name swapping and changing its a dam good one, im street savy and have never been duped or confused to this point, At the risk of it all being true, I cant take the chance of ruining my good name, you have been extremely friendly and nice to me, I hate to think this is all true but my eyes see what this thread offers in information and I can read between the lines, Im freakin heartbroken man, I thought I made a good friend as well as a business contact dammit. now im on hold and standing back watching all this unveil aghast at what im reading..
For the sake of my business and those who look to my reports online on facebook regarding vendors I must err on the side of caution. I feel terrible about this whole stinking thing but refuse to allow room or time or lend ear to another opportunity to be duped, im scared of talking to you now, you are one slick dude. you could talk your way out of a locked room with no key. I felt you were genuine and was really excited at some of the ideas we came up with. Im absolutely dumbfounded right now and must go with my gut, its rarely been wrong and I have a business to protect. I cannot have anything further to do with you in communication. If im wrong then i have to be the prick here for the sake of my business reputation. If im right then ill remain safe from being duped further and from the liable caused at my recommendation when others trust you from my recommendation. Why does this world have to be so dam complicated? Im almost 50 man and I still have to deal with this stuff..... I need thicker skin......
Happy Holidays
 
the only undoing of any 'misunderstanding' would be for you to mail out the 1000 meduim/large dubias and ill pay after they arrive, asking the same trust of you that you asked of me. When they show up ill send payment and that will satisfy me that I need not worry about what ive read and things go back to normal.
You have to admit the imformation on 15 pages here is convicting and a major rd flag to a poor boy like me. so send the roaches and ill pay for them after they arrive
Fair enough?

it wasnt the only option, a package of mealworms would have settles it or any product for that matter,
The refund is fine but also finalizes the situation without recourse.
 
Feeder Roaches | Blaptica Dubia Roaches

Hi,
My name is Darien and I own roachesrus.com. I didn't read through all of the previous posts but I have the idea you guys were talking about "Rene Morales" and I just wanted to give you all my opinion of this guy whatever his name is... I started selling dubia roaches a couple years ago and I got a call from this guy "Rene" and to make a long story short he told me that he wanted to sell feeder roaches and me (I'm 18 and have worked at an advertising agency for a couple years doing web design, web development, internet marketing, etc) told him I would make him a website for a cut of the profits. I did this and had many horrible experiences. He always brought up BS about family issues and that he was a single parent of two kids and stupid stuff like that. And not only was I getting a "cut" but I was also sending him some orders from my own site blapticadubiaroaches.com and I kept having issues with him not sending them out in time, not getting me tracking numbers, giving customers half their order with an IOU and more... I gave him too many warnings and chances and he ended up making me lose several customers and money. Just recently I got a few emails from a customer of "mine" saying I didn't send her order of 500 dubia and I came to find out she wasn't even my customer at all. It was the man who calls himself "Rene Morales" and he is still using roachesrus.com on his paypal account but is now selling under the name "socalroaches". His new website is socalroaches.com. I would recommend to everyone never to buy from this man. I really don't like getting into these things because all the BOI ever does is starts drama and wastes time... But I wanted you all to know never to buy from this man again.

And I think it's funny that all these people are saying Jon is such a bad guy because he "took" the business name from Rene/Daniel/whatever but I did the same thing... Does this make me a bad businessman? Absolutely not! He did not hold up his end of the deal and I bought the domain name and funded his venture so I would be the one who has full rights to his name. This seems to be the exact same thing that happened with Jon and Rene/Daniel.

But it is OK for you to post advertising copy on the BOI, eh? YOU are causing drama now because your efforts at backdoor advertising are not going unnoticed by people who don't really care for your efforts in that regard.

If you want to advertise on this site, there are vehicles available to do so. But if you want to belittle the efforts of this site and the members, then please take your advertising elsewhere.
 
I'm not quite sure what you mean, I was simply letting everyone know about this crook because I'm tired of him getting away with ripping people off... And it is affecting me too because he is using my business name for his PayPal receipts and when customers aren't happy with their orders they contact me and/or post bad reviews about my business when I had nothing to do with it.

Oh, so I take it that this is a DIFFERENT kind of drama and yet an acceptable waste of your time, then? I guess it's a different kettle of fish when it is YOUR drama and YOUR time, now isn't it?

:rolleyes:
 
Haha okay seriously dude, do you have nothin better to do with your time? I was just letting everyone know about this guy and you (who has no life) starts bashing me? That makes no sense. 12,000 posts really? Sorry I work for a living and don't have the time to come on here everyday and argue with people like you. Just so everyone knows, I only came on here to hopefully help someone not make the same mistake of dealing with this guy as I did.
