Hey Mike! Any progress getting your money or animals from Garrett? Has Garrett coughed up ANY paperwork yet, whether it be Cities or from Pakistan?

Hey Michael,
Curious minds want to know, have you heard or seen anything at all? Anything from Frogman what so ever??

This is really starting to resemble

Let us know Michael.

This is some of the paperwork that I have sent Mike during this transaction. I have more, Ill look for it

Post #57. Surely by now you've found the other paperwork. Let's see it. Just out of curiosity, is the weight posted on that document assumed? Interesting.

 

[Big Time Reptiles]

Michael,
I'm sure there's much more going on in your life, than being ripped off in the amount of $6500. That's why we haven't heard from you in awhile.

Frogman, I'm sure your so busy with sales & conjuring up new deals, or new excuses, why you haven't paid Michael. That's why we haven't heard from you in awhile.

What has really come to my attention here recently, it seems as though Vanessa, Chris, Patrick, Kevin, Alexander, & Myself, just to mention a few, seems to care more about frogman paying Michael, than Michael seems to care or lets on to care, or frogman either, for that matter. I'm basing this solely on what has been asked of both, and the lack of any response by either.

Now I realize life gets pretty hectic at times, but even then, it takes only a minute or two, to answer a question asked of you, especially in a BOI post that concerns you....

It'll soon be 10 months since Michael sent Garrett $6500, HOLY MACKEREL!

Early to mid October? Based on what? New paperwork? A phone call? Or is this just another stall tactict to shut you up for another month?

Michael,
Sorry to hear you & your daughter have been under the weather, hope you both are feeling much better!

So he's receiving yet another shipment of reptiles from Germany, and there's NOT a single word of the shipment from Pakistan, which is where the Hardwicki were to come from, and which you & others paid for. No Surprises Here.....

So once again, the game (deal) changes, he's to receive reptiles from Germany, in 1 to 3 weeks (NOT the reptiles you bargained for) he's going to sell said reptiles, and pay you the $6500 he owes you. Go Figure....

With the BEST SALES he's ever had in recent months, you'd think he would of paid you then, when he, in his own words stated, "the best sales he ever had in a month" any one would figure, if he was going to pay you, that would be the time, when his pockets were full.

GOOD LUCK Michael!

I actually hope Garrett does come through. There are some snakes I want out of Pakistan and seems no one has brought in any in a while.

In a while? Are you aware of animals coming out of Pakistan previously? If so, I have LOTS of questions for you!

He messaged me in facebook messenger stating hes planning to bring in animals from europe so im hoping once they arrive this whole mess can finally get fixed.

He's bringing in animals from Europe, how's that going to fix the whole mess??

1~Bringing in animals, selling them, and paying you with the proceeds?

2~Bringing in animals, offering them to you in place of the original deal?

3~Bringing in animals, you'd rather have?

4~Bringing in animals, and WHAT?????

Fill us in PLEASE.....

Again Michael, we hope no matter what he brings in, or doesn't bring in, that you're taken care of, and paid in full, to your satisfaction!

So in the end, you have settle for something other than what you've waited ten months for? That's pathetic. Hope you get your money's worth.

There have been many Pakistani animals come in over the years. It's just been a while. That's where almost all the viper geckos, spider geckos, teratoscincus keyserlingi,microlepis etc. Plus many other reptile species came in from.

Jay,
That's good info, Thank you!

But it doesn't change the facts, Frogman hasn't brought in any Hardwicki from Pakistan as promised, or any other reptile for that matter from there, and it's been 10 months.

It's been "10 months" since he accepted $6500 from Michael, and there are 2 others,(which for what ever reason hasn't come forward).

All they have received for their monies is a promise, and we all have seen, & know, what that's worth!

Again, THANKS for the info Jay!

That's a good start! Thank you. Do you or anyone you know have hands on experience to related imports? Does this situation seem normal to you?

 

[uromastyx13]

Yea the original deal was i was offered 4 pairs of Eastern Bearded Dragons Pogona Barbata that according to garret are worth $2000 a pair , i told him i would prefer for him to get them and sell them to cash me out but appearantly he didn't have room for them at first and quite frankly now i think i rather get them and sell them myself to get my refund as soon as possible im already sick of waiting for my animals i paid for almost 11 months ago i just want my refund of everything i paid for and walk off into the sunset.

Once again, you're being put off another 4 months, when most recently you stated, he messaged you and he stated, in 2 to 3 weeks you'll be taken care of, and paid.

See ad below he posted on 9/3/2015, stating he's bringing in eastern bearded dragons in January 2015, I'm sure he meant 2016????

So again, another 4 MONTHS, hoping, praying, waiting. WHY??????

When is enough, ENOUGH???

My opinion, I think, the more time that elapses, the more he's thinking, eventually you'll just give up, and go away, chalking it up to "OH WELL", a costly experience learned. Time has away of doing just that!

Just my Opinion........

You're getting paperwork in advance? That is basically what gave birth to this complaint, yes? Mike, you have a high threshold for pain. If you don't get satisfaction from this, I will personally send you a copy of the movie Death Wish, starting Charles Bronson. Just sayin'.

The fact that you are willing to accommodate this creep is sad. I will be shocked if you are made whole.
