A few days ago I was surfing in the chameleon section like I do all the time. I came across this ad selling panthers in bulk. I contacted him on the ad and through email. It was either that night or the night after he responded through email. He basically just told me what he had available and I basically said I'm interested in buying him out. We exchanged a couple emails then he went ghost on me that night all of a sudden. Well I emailed him with my number and said please call me and he did the next day (yesterday). I don't like to throw out the first number because I hate to leave money in the table. So he did. He said $1000 for 48 babies and within his next breath he said $1300. Kinda weird but what ever. I said I'll meet you in the middle of both of your prices. $1150 shipped it was a deal. He said he could ship today (yesterday) and I said send me an invoice I'll pay you right this second.
Here's where we start to take a turn for the worse.
Sent the money and I emailed him "your paid". He responded I don't have it in my account. PayPal sometimes holds his money for 21 days. I don't want to ship till it clears.
Well the money is gone form my account and he said he doesn't have it and attaches a weird excuse to it so I started to panic. I immediately started calling him and no answer then emails again he went ghost on me.
So I just called PayPal and started a claim. I filed a claim with 15/20 mins of me sending him the money. Like I said I just sent $1150 and Bill is saying PayPal holds his money then goes silent. So I explained what was going on to PayPal and I want my money back. Not now but RIGHT NOW!! So I'm talking to PayPal and call waiting pops up guess who. Yup Bill North. I was to busy to answer all I wanted was my money safe and sound back in my PayPal piggy bank. They called him and got through but the agent said they kept getting cut off. Lol yeah I bet they did.
PayPal said you will have your money back tonight. I was happy.
At this point I'm still not sure if I'm getting ripped off or if I overreacted. So I called Bill and said hey I freaked out. The money I sent was out of my PayPal and you said it wasn't in yours. I said look I still want these please just ship them out when I get refunded I'll send it back. (No I'm not an idiot I want going to send it til I had my package in hand).
He said he shipped and I said cool TY for trusting me. I have a ton of references and he wasn't interested at all in there info. But I still sent them anyways. He let me know he was extremely nervous because he shipped without payment.
i wake up early today and I try to dig up something on Bill. I just know I've heard that name before. Did a search on fauna and nothing. I went to his ad and clicked on find more post by Bill North. That's when it hit me. Someone called him out as a scammer in one of his ads and i commented directly after. I knew that name was familiar. I thought it was a good familiar but I was so wrong.
I sent him a screen shot of that post and he defended it but I already knew. Then I checked PayPal and my money still wasn't there so I called and asked where's my money. Bill put a tracking number on the PayPal receipt. I didn't notice it but PayPal did and checked it this morning and it was a fake.
I had my money back in my account before we hung up.
I called him out on text this morning and of coarse he went ghost on me. Tried calling no answer.
Maybe you guys can ALL call him and tell him I would like t speak with him. He has my number. OR send him a text saying call Craig. lol. Not even kinda joking.
