    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....

Luke,
Sorry to hear about your bogus trade, seems there have been a lot of these scammers here as of late making trust between out-of-state trades difficult to imagine. Amazing how a few bad apples really do spoil the bunch, at least til the bad taste goes away! Here's another guy to look out for on Fauna

Warning: This thread is about Salvatore DeMasi. Your thread has no relevance in this one, unless you are going to claim they are the same person (and are prepared to substantiate that). Please do not disrupt this thread with issues that don't involve Mr DeMasi.
 
Please note - I didn't link the relevant threads, or post the content. This was intentional, as it would be in conflict with the rules/policies of this site (specifically those against anonymous third party posting). People will just have to do some finger work if they are curious.
 
Bridgeport. Figures.
Let me see what I can find out about this guy since I live in CT.
I'll keep you posted.
 
Luke have you heard anything from him or called Bridgeport pd. he has logged in last night with still no response
 
This will be my one and only response. I have spoken to Luke's attorney and worked out a payment plan just waiting on paperwork and a return response his last email said he was on buisness in Malaysia. Again things happened to put me I this situation and never intended to rip him off.
 
Also posting my address and phone number without my permission should not be allowed I recieved threats and such from people that don't know me or any idea who I am. I don't need to explain my situation all I will say is I will make thing right and please stop harassing me. I did not intentionally try to rip anyone off thing happened that I didn't control and I will step up and make them right. I have personal and family issues going on right now and this will be resolved ASAP thanks
Sal
 
Sal u owe a lot of people money from trades that never happened.anyone who has done a trade with u has not got there items. U have logged in many times with no response. Posting ur address and number is not against the law. What is against the law is u stealing snakes. U have been givin just about every excuse you can think of on why you never got shipped. I personally will not do any more business with u. Any body I know in the hobby is probally not gonna do business with you. Pretty sad but one day it all will catch up with u.!karma is a b$&@"
 
Really receiving threats. Well what did u expect when u steal thoasands of dollars in snakes. What kind of call did u want. Did u want them to ask if u wanted to go out and have a coffee after u just screwed them. Are u kidding me. Do u live near any high voltage wires or a nuclear power plant???
 
chargeback from sal

Hello my name is Daniel Solis from Reptile AVE, on September 4, 2012 Salvatore DeMasi made a payment of $800 for a vanilla spider male i had for sale, I then proceed to ship the animal he confirmed over the phone and via text he received the animal in good condition he also singed for the package as I always ship via FedEx reptile certified and I always require signature for the package, on November 9 , 2012 he file a charge back tru Paypal saying he did not authorize that transaction then Paypal took the founds from my account until we resolve this issue, I have already send all the info, emails, screen shots, tracking number and links regarding this matter with Sal and others transaction to prove he indeed bought the snake and now wants the money back for no apparent reason, I will start a new thread with more info as I believe this thread here is a different matter not related to the original post, but i also believe you guys should know he is no good news, after doing business for many years with the reptile community this is my first post on a Bad Guy and this is my first chargeback after thousand of orders and snakes sold, anyways here is a screen shot of the chargeback he did after two months of having the snake and a screen shot of the tracking number to prove he got the animal also a screen shot of him inquiring about the vanilla spider male, if you guys like more info please call or text me any time, i have a few shipments going out today and I probably wont be back here until later on to night, if anybody know or bought a vanilla spider from him please let me know I don't want the snake back but that will make my case thank you !

What's your excuse for this, Sal?

You know, I've had some really hard times with my family and personal life in the past, but I cannot remember after scamming other people to make up for it. It's kind of pathetic.

No one is going to pity your sob story when you are stealing animals left and right and doing charge backs through PayPal or your CC Company after you received an animal.

You are a scammer, pure and simple, not just some poor sap struck by unfortunate circumstances in life.

How are you going to make this up to people who have not lawyered up?
