    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 The Veiled Chameleon / Steven Vigo

Sure was! Sorry, I forgot the paperwork in the car. The JAG office has the original box and everything so I had to make copies. The address that was on the box was:

Steve Vigo
2801 NW 80th Avenue
Sunrise, FL

It seems Steve does not scam everyone that makes a purchase, just most everyone. Kinda like the lottery. A few people are just plain lucky, but most are not. Just look at Steve. He has screwed probably hundreds of people in the last seven years or so, and is still walking around screwing people still. Odds are if you continue to deal with Steve, you going to get screwed sooner or later. Same goes for Steve. If he continues to screw enough people, odds are one day his luck will run out.

Jason, that address on the shipping label looks to be an apartment complex or the like. Did the label have a unit or apt # on it?

Thanks,
Randall
 
I also won an auction, and did received the snake last week within 48 hrs of auctions end. It was however shipped in 50-60 degree temps with no heat pack. After seeing all this it makes me question if I really got a het albino as she was descibed. Though i guess i am one of the lucky ones who actually recieved something.

Well, you bought a het from one of the biggest scammers in the business. What do you think ? There is no bigger scam than the sale of het balls. See Chris Johnson threads if in doubt.

Steve was no Marine. He never served in the military. But he is a scumbag first-class.

Someone here in the Fauna had mentioned they thought he was in one of the threads, I had a hard time believing that was the case.
 
I doubt he served any military time at all. We are a little more disciplined and respectful than what he's displaying. I find it odd a lot of newly registered 1-time posters are saying they bought from him and it was a good transaction. I've contacted an ADMIN to get the IP's traced to see if they all match.

IP address only really comes into play for those who are careless, and post count isn't the sole relevant factor in determining credibility. Although the timing and similar wording are noteworthy, their posts don't quite have the mindless cheerleader tone that we generally see with shill posters. I looked around on FB, and Lyanna Blackmon at least appears to be a real person. It'd be nice if they'd choose to show proof of having completed a transaction with him, though.

It's possible that they're both real people who were lucky enough to actually receive snakes from the scammer in question. His need for some positive publicity may have been the only reason that they actually did get their snakes; assuming that they're not outright stooges. It's a fairly common misconception - often nurtured by those who've been rightfully outed on the BOI - that we're just a bunch of bullies who try to gang up on the little guys. He may be trying to take advantage of that sentiment to steer customers here to try to vicariously create doubt and make a token show of legitimacy. 'The BOI meanies are trying to ruin my business; post there and set them straight. Blah blah blah.' Just a guess.
 
If you Google Map the return shipping label address for Steve Vigo 2801 NW 80th Avenue, It will put you in front of 2864 NW 80th ave. He has to be in this complex, but I can't find it. Who can pan around street view and find 2801? I emailed the guy in the white van but he has not responded with any info about that address.

Thanks,

I couldnt locate a 2801 on that street. The numbers are all even, not odd. The closest is 2800, then 2804, 2808 and so on...
 
I never said it was a good transaction, just that I received my snake. I am certainly not trying to endorse his business. I will never buy from him again, I was just throwing in my 2 cents.
 
Thanks bro... Don't sweat Cartel ? Your post. He's just pissed like me about this scumbag. I am going to be much better when i find out where this pos lives.
 
From the sound of it this guy really sucks, again thanks for the heads up. People like this really make it hard on this community .
