    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 )

Along with questions, asked by others, I would still like to know the answer to my unanswered question.
That is, who was it that, allegedly, told Garrett to send $8000 (extra) for the hinky paperwork that turned out to be unecessary for exportation from Pakistan? Was it the Pakistani "Ghost"? If not, who?
Also, any proof that the alleged $8000 was sent?
Well, Garrett?

....
 
Only people involved in the Pakistan shipment were me and one other person who did get a full refund because they paid via PayPal unlike me ( stupid decision to bank wore transfer) i dont think its in my right or necessary to share his name unless he would want to come here himself . As far as the other shipments garret has promised have nothing to Do with the money i wired garret only similarity we have is we are all still waiting for animal's we were promised a year ago or half a year ago. I don't think its right chris that you wanna expose people's names on a public forum unless they willingly gave you consent or came on here , tell me what do you get out of publicly exposing someome? We are all adults here so let's act like them, i took the first step in making a BOI on garret for my transactions that took a dive instead of going well i think when the other party's are ready to come out to the public if they ever wanna come out to the public is up to them im not gonna force them and dont think its right that anyone does so either, for the respect of there privacy when the time is right and when necessary things will be exposed the truth always COMES OUT it's all about it being the right time.

According to garret his refund solution to finally cash me out is landing this week so now the time is ticking on garret to-do what is right.

This was posted on the fifteenth. It is now the twentyfourth. Did he cash you out? Has he even advertised those beardeds for sale?
 
I have an even better question. Who should Garrett "cash out" first? Mike, or the others who have waited longer?
 
I have to assume he will cash out yhe non-partners first, since they don't share the so called risk that Markus and Mike do, who according to Garrett will be seeking a refund from Pakistan and not Garrett if the deal falls through. And again, what happens if most or all of yhe Hardwicki die?

Good luck, with that, if such were the case. Not only due to all the hurdles, further financial losses, etc., that he/they would already face in such an endeavor, Garrett won't even share the identity of the alleged Pakistan contact.:rolleyes:

Thankfully, due to how it seems everything played out, has been handled, etc., Garrett is actually the person who has the burden/liability of compensating both Mike and Marcus for their financial losses (since it appears safe to say that no Hardwickii, from Pakistan, will make it to their doorsteps, alive or dead).
One of the costs, of being a middle man, without covering your rear first.;)

I guess I'm missing something.:shrug01:

In addition to his Pakistani contact, he mentions, "it's a friend of a friend, whose not in the business."

I was called out for something similar, why hasn't he been called out for his contacts/PROOF??

Any update on this? Seems it was "ok I will just resolve this thing" and offer something to be done. But it is looking again like another lie.

You have no idea what the cost are. I do, because I've been paying them.

PROVE IT!

I'm not answering questions that have been answered multiple times.
Garrett

You haven't answered a single question, and haven't shown ANY PROOF of any kind, of any of your claims. PERIOD!

Markus,

Unfortunately, Thats how this BOI works. A person comes on with a dispute, right or wrong. Then a few of the regulars that like to agitate people come on. If you look at just a few of Chris's post you can see this is what he does. He has over 1,900 post with mostly one liners trying to get people riled up. He's a 51 year old man acting like he's 14 child that just discovered the internet. Just ignore him.

Then you get the few people that didn't like they way you responded, maybe you disagreed with them on Facebook etc. Nows their chance to say how they calmly corrected you on Facebook and you left them bad karma etc. How you didn't do this or that when you texted them etc.

You will also get the armchair attorneys and judges that have already decided your case. They know the laws in every state, the amount of fines etc. You can get a lot of great legal advise on this form.

The new one, that I haven't heard before was: "Tell his wife" This one had me chuckling. FYI My wife is fully aware of the arrangement that Mike and I have.

I will say the BOI has a few good regulars. They ask good questions and stay impartial.

Garrett

I'll tell ya' how the BOI works! Name those "few good regulars" who are going to bat for you now. That screams as much fiction as your existence in the herp community. You've had ample time to produce fans here. That doesn't just happen.

I haven't been on this BOI this past week or much on anybsocial media due to health , point is garret has zero urgency in refunding me ASAP or to even refund me at all . at this point its obvious garret is trying to run off with the money forever
 
Sounds like Garrett has lied again and is throwing smoke, again. I would accept only money at the tune of 6,000 from this guy. I would not trust any animals from him at all... get your money and pay your mom back. If he does not pay, take him to court.
 
Btw, he wants you to change your mind, playing games with you on the "Why you don't want them..." just stick with your plan... he will have to pay up in court or always hide his money when you win in court.
