    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....

Inquiry PantherChameleons/ April L. Quackenbush

I am sure I will never see my refund.

I will be curious if she gets everyone else taken care of.

At best, I am predicting she will take care of the smaller orders if anything. I will certainly be last on the list.
 
Maybe her intention was not to rip anybody off.

Perhaps she was overwhelmed with ordered and was not organized enough... but still accepted payment. That would explain while some people got their charms and other did not... or why some people received tiny just hatched babies.

Still tho..it is not that difficult to make things right.

No it's not.

If I was in her shoes, I would have been at least honest at this point. I also would have certainly responded to this BOI thread. If she is as honest as she says, she should have gotten on here and stated her faults and claimed her promise to make things right with everyone.

I know she has been reading this throughout the whole time up to now, as she has responded to me threatening that I will only lengthen the refund process if I post anything about her.

You can still make it right, and state your case April!
 
Wish there was a donation fund to help people like us in these situations! That 1000k could have bought my college books for the next year, or filled my empty cham cages!
 
Zach, just to be clear, you sent her $1,000.00 and she has yet to send you anything? Plus paypal denied your escalated claim because the transaction was over an animal?

This is exactly correct.

Progression outline of her response:

1)babies were not ready
2)wouldn't ship with current weather
3)tried to ship, but had time constraints and could not ship yet
4)could not ship because she didn't have a 'safe' way to ship
5)she said a refund would be better, so she would paypal a full refund the next day
6)paypal pulled from her account, but the location of the funds after pulling from her account was unknown to her
7))April simply stated that her paypal was messed up and would not work. Claimed she would send an overnighted bank issued cashiers check
8)said she sent it and would send me a tracking number
9) (more time passes) Said she sent the check already, and already email tracking number twice (never saw a tracking number)
10)said the check was returned to her in the mail (no reason given)
11)said a check would be mailed (no other information given as to what kind of check and when)
12) currently - April claims I will be refunded, but doesn't provide any information as to when or how. Furthermore, she says that me discussing it with anyone or talking to Tom will only make my wait longer...
 
I talked to Liddy and she didn't have anything like that. She has a sire with a similar name but it wasn't "Faylate". Amber Quackenbush said she checked with the kammers herself just after I did and confirmed that she has a Rare Faylate Ambilobe. Lol. Clearly a terrible lie on her part.

Wow.. and who in the world is Amber now?
 
There you go Apex, Paypal could care less about awarding the buyer on a bad transaction over an animal. Even it they didn't have a tracking number or had the animals shipped.
Not sure how you got that from his last post. Although he did previously mention opening a PayPal claim, I can't find where he specifically says that they rejected it.

I'm not sure what exactly to make of this:
Zach Valois said:

6)paypal pulled from her account, but the location of the funds after pulling from her account was unknown to her
7))April simply stated that her paypal was messed up and would not work. Claimed she would send an overnighted bank issued cashiers check
This confuses me. Did she talk you into closing your claim early to free up her funds so she could refund you herself. I'm lost. Did I miss something?

Sorry if this didn't make it on to the post, Tom and I discussed this on the phone. When I first filed the claim with Paypal, she then said not to talk to her because Paypal would take care of it. Then Paypal themselves escalated it, and then closed it because they do not cover animal purchases.

At one point she was telling me that Paypal withdrew from her bank account, and that I should see the money at any time. She then said that it was weird that the money was pulled from her account, and didn't understand where it was or why I did not receive it. Two or three days passed, and then she said her "paypal account was messed up" and she would have to mail me a check.
 
I put a link up to this in a couple of places. She's been on reading and just left the thread. Hopefully she returns and addresses the posts and a resolution is forthcoming.

Trying this Optimist fluff. Unfortunately, I think I'll be disappointed.

That didn't last long...
 
Hi guys sorry that I have not noticed this Boi on this idiotic lady.
I contacted her 2months back with regards to buying whole lots of chams for my breeding farm in Thailand. I must say its so hard to find someone who is willing to do cites and clear all but this lady apparently tells me that she can ship eggs that are well-packed and I could get a good discount for all. I was planning to buy abt 120eggs when I noticed something funny. I requested pics of the sires and also the setup cages where she kept the breeding pairs and eggs but was sent only pics that she had posted on the threads. I was suspicious and she told me I could contact debbie from reptile shipping and I called her but Debbie was saying she had sent only once from her. While I was contemplating on whether to buy from her that nite, she repeatedly sent me messages via Imessaging demanding deposits to secure the orders or that very noon there is another buyer coming in to buy the whole breeding chams and etc.

I then told her to stop as I would not be dealing with her but she would send me message every few days saying the eggs are ready to ship ANd that even if I sent her the deposit via PayPal she would not use the money or withdraw it.

She is a scam !!!!! Eggs cannot be shipped and she actually had the Cheeks to ask me to call Debbie to check.

I am glad that at last I did my orders with chameleons Canada. Edgar was very helpful and patient and he actually believed and proceeded with my orders. I am now awaiting my cites clearances. Can't wait to see my falys platoon.

Sorry for the late posting for this scammer.
I have deleted all my messages but I have this pic to confirm that I have communicated to her and she cannot be trusted.

Is there anyway her ads here on fauna can be removed? At least till you investigate this further?

OMG, She cant do sites paperwork and deal with customs. She wouldn't know the first thing about how that process works. Man this is frustrating. Also, you're right most professional breeders will not ship eggs. I know myself and no other chameleon forums sponsor typically will not do this. The eggs will most likely not make it. She tried pushing eggs on me that were supposed to hatch any day. I tried to explain to her that those eggs will not hatch if she ships them. She would have a better chance of survival if she shipped eggs 1 month old or younger.

Come on April Quackenbush, join this thread and state your claim! What are you afraid of. Several people have come forward about you and your lying games. Why don't you want to state your case. I know you're reading this!


BTW, everyone, Isn't funny she was trying to push her $2,000 English Bulldogs on me and wanted paid through PayPal? That dog wouldn't show up or it would come off the plane DOA and $2,000 would be long gone.
 
Yes Tom, have spoken to some breeders n all agreed that its a Long process and this 'scammer aka April' verified that Debbie can ship worldwide but Debbie only ships in USA only. Lolx


From this whole thing I can foreseen that she has already ran away with whatever money she can get from this registered nick and thread.
Maybe it would be good to get April's address from anyone that had purchased the chams n received it in good conditions. Then forward the details to a local debt collector to go to her place and clear this up on behalf on you. I believed the debt collectors will get a 20%commission from the amount collected. There is always a saying * getting back some is better than none *

Hope this helps..

Anything u need from my side let me know Tom...
