    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 Garret Smith ( Scammer )

Also correct me if I'm wrong Markus but I believe u said you were going in on the deal with the three not knowing mike was the third but Garrett claims it was only him and mike? Seems a little weird. Again I could be wrong.

Hello.
I was asked by Garrett if I want to participate in an import from Pakistan. After speaking with the Pakistan provider of the animals I said yes. That's all I can say to that.
Garrett and Mike have a deal about those animals for the US market.
Therefor I am not involved in their deal. That's two different things.
But I know that Garrett and Mike are communicating about a solution, and from emails with Mike and WhatsApp with Garrett I know what they agreed on.
I believe that's why both of them stepped back from commenting everything here.
And as someone carefully reading this threat and also other threats in the boi, that's the best they can do....

At this point, I don't think you need to defend yourself. I think everyone knows who BAD GUY is.

So you are in contact with the Pakistani "provider"? Did he tell you why such a delay? Howsabout giving his number to Mike. Also, do you have the cites paperwork for those animals?

Hi Chris,
yes, I know why there is a delay. Actually, 10 month is a long time. But I expected something like 6-10 month anyway from the beginning. As it is like a decade that Pakistan didn´t allow exports.
Garrett posted weeks ago a document from the chamber of commerz from Pakistan. Showing that they agreed those animals can leave the country. I have similar documents allowing the export from Pakistan to Germany. But those are not Cites documents. The allowance by the Chamber of Commerce and industry is just 50% of the paperwork.
The Cites documents I haven´t asked for. Those only have a validy of 1 month (that varies from country to country, in Germany we have 6 month). And thats why we decided to ship all to the US and then reexport to Germany. That was just a logistical decission. In Germany the import Cites can take a while, in the US the import procedure is much easier and faster. Thats why I was not and am still not interested to see the documents from Pakistan to the US. I will get copies anyway when we have the Export documents issued in the US and ask for the import documents here. There I have to proof the history and legal ways of the animals. If I cannot proof that 100% I don´t get the allowance to import.

You asked for the telefonnumber. Just go back this threat and see the documents Garrett provided. Actually it will take you like 20 seconds to find the telefonnumber on google....
This is not a secret.

Regards, Markus

Really?

Chris, Since your the big instigator on this and most BOI. Tell me why on this transaction EXACTLY:

1. How is this a scam?
2. How am I a bad guy?

And please be as specific as you can.

Garrett Smith
 
I'll start by saying you posted you have documents you just want to play games...if you have them shut us up. Also if you claim he's a business partner give him your Pakistan friends info so he can call the directly like your buddy Markus. Because from what you said in post 337 you only took his money no one else's so I'm guessing Marcus paid them directly? And he has contact with them so why can't Mike also get that option? That answers question 2. For question 1 you've been tossing this guy around with no paper work showing your Pakistan friends receiving a payment or anything for that matter further adding to number 2 again you have terrible ethics on how you treat and act towards your customers.

I know for a fact, he took Michael's money, and two other breeders money for a grand total of $20,500.00. I'm not at liberty to divulge names. Why they other two haven't/don't come forward, is mind boggling to me, to say the least...

So what do you say to that frogman?

The window continues to get much tastier as new poster come forward.:thumbsup:

LMAO! I thought you blocked me! Or was that just another deception of yours? Perhaps just melodramatics. If you treated me and my hard earned money the way you treat Mike, I'd be calling you worse than just a bad guy or a scammer. You took over six grand without disclosing that it might take a seemingly indefinite amount of time. It's almost as if you orchestrated this deal in what you thought was a clever fashion in the hope that your CUSTOMER/VICTIM would give up and passively walk away empty handed. Sounds far fetched, yes? Is that what you were counting on? I'll strike those nerves any time you invite me to wiseguy.

The first transaction between Mike and I took around 5 months. Mike and I both knew that this one would take a lot longer. This was addressed in older post.

You haven't answered the questions, Chris

How is this a scam?
How am I a bad guy?



Garrett Smith
 
By the way Garrett, you ducked and dodged every post I questioned you in. Now you're all for communicating. If you think you can bait me into off topic banter or into getting as angry as you are, don't waist your time. If you don't appreciate the majority of people's perception of you, stop whining and playing your baby games and do what's right. Give Mike his money.

So it is your contention that you made Mike aware that he would have to wait ten months, a year or indefinitely?
