    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 Phil Robbins and Jeremy Hargett ( jsh reptiles )

Phil, in your correspondence with the OP on the 16, you said your are "supposedly getting 50 abults", as well as a hundred Hottentotta among others, yet not claim to be suprised they were sent as you didn't order any scorpions? I don't buy one word of your explanation. Why did your buddy call you his "invertebrates manager", and not his "partner" as you claim? What is the true nature of your relationship?
 
You contradict yourself right out of the gates Phil! You say you have an African shipment come in, and you knew from the get go all the scorpions were Hottentotta. Oh but, actually you did have a "couple" Togolensis. You the invertebrates manager expecting a shipment of close to 400 animals, among other things, didn't order any scorpions, yet were sent about 50 Togolensis, most of which, but not all, were Hottentotta? The reason you didn't sell anything you didn't have is because you got called out defore you had the chance.

Good eye on the contradictions.

On our packing list as well as on our CITIES paper work states we have (among other things....close to 400 animals) approximately 50 Androctonus togolensis.

Let's see the packing list and cites paperwork. Scan and post.
 
I am wondering Rowdy if it might be worthwhile as a benefit to readers to start another BOI thread with 'MiamiCracker' in the title and then immediately this thread to the new thread, and the new thread to this thread.
When I went to Phil's ad here on Fauna and used the BOI icon, this thread was not pulled up.
That means that those doing a search are not now given the considerable benefit of reading this thread.
That the thread did not pop up is neither good nor bad, it is simply because of the nature of searches, they have to be exact:


This page will initiate a search for MiamiCracker in FaunaClassifieds' Board of Inquiry forums.

Please note that the search will ONLY include BOI forums threads and try to match member's faunaclassified username ("MiamiCracker") and profile name ("Phillip Robbins") in our database (if exists).

The search is EXACT and it will not match results with incorrect spelling or even slight differences. Eg. if searched member's name is "Andrew Doyle", it will only return posts with this exact title in it, but NOT posts which have "Andy Doyle" or "Andrew C.Doyle" in the title.

It should also be noted that search will only return results from the BOI forums if the search criteria is in the TOPIC line of threads within the BOI forums. The context of the threads themselves are not searched for matches.

For more flexible searching options and custom search parameters you can use forum search page here

But with a different appropriate title and this thread appended, searchers WILL be able to see this thread and draw their own conclusions.
 
Let me shut you up completely......probably not because that's what little trolls do.....run their mouths but here goes.................


So.... Me and my business partner (neither one of us is the "boss" but it doesn't matter to Rudy because he is insane) Have an African shipment come in. (like we have been getting for years) On our packing list as well as on our CITIES paper work states we have (among other things....close to 400 animals) approximately 50 Androctonus togolensis. NOW, My partner picks up the shipment, calls me and tells me it came in and mentions we have scorpions in the boxes. (Weird because we didn't order any that I know of) . I ask him what kind of scorpions and he say the paperwork says Hottentotta hottentotta, Androctonus togolensis. To which I say "NO FREAKING WAY". He assuses me that's what the paperwork says. I advise him I won't be by to help with this shipment as I would be very busy for a few days. He say no problem and would take care of everything. I advise him I would see what I could find out on the togolensis, Hence the thread on Arachnoboards asking about them. In the mean time, my partner (who mostly does wholesale lots of animals) put up ALOT of ads for togolensis. AS THAT IS WHAT HE WAS TOLD AND THOUGHT HE HAD. When I did get around to going by to our facility (which is after I started the thread on AB) I knew from the get go that all the scorpion we had were H. hottentotta. and I advised people that were interested in togolensis that they were not. (actually we did have a couple togolensis but I'M KEEPING THEM). So I told my partner what was what and told him to take down the ads. to which he did. (save for 1) What a horrible guy. Now this little troll starts his little hissy fit. Pay close attention to how he goes from "do you have X for sale" to YOU GUYS ARE SCAMMERS AND CONS AND YOUR GOING TO JAIL. he never waited for a response from my partner he just jumped down his throat. When he did ask me he flipped his wig spouting off about me being a scammer and what nots. When he did this I had no idea what the hell he was talking about. After some digging I figured out some guy saw the ad that was MISTAKENLY left up and asked my partner. (who at that moment didn't know Androctonus from his elbow......still doesn't). Said guy also asked for an ID on AB and this little troll is the one who responded. From his response to my partner and I becoming scammers was about 2 seconds. (LOOK AT THE TIME STAMPS).
He fully admits that I stated in the AB thread that I DID NOT HAVE ANDROCTONUS TOGOLENSIS. So because It took me a few days to track down the guy who authored the paper on togolensis and my partner who was just going by what 2 different governments and our exporter said was in the crate and tried to sell them as what he was TOLD THEY WERE we are scammers and con men. Not that any of my business dealings are anybody's business especially this sorry little troll.

To recap.....We did not sell anything that we did not have. All that actually happened was when someone was attempting to buy something, they were directed to the appropriate person, and the matter was handled correctly.
Nobody bought something we didn't have.
As soon as the mistake was discovered we fixed it. (save for the 1 ad).
But this little troll has gone from board to board to FB to any and all places he can think of to try and run his mouth. Well troll you are wrong again. go to bed.

Wait. What?
If your partner was told that the scorps were not Togolensis, and, due to this, was advised to take down all ads with Togolensis for sale, but forgot to take one down, then why did your partner/employee/whatever, Jeremy, still try to sell scorps (after the fact and that had come from you) as Togolensis?

....
 
I am not in charge of Jeremy.... believe it or not, he (and I) have lives outside of the internet, and I am not going to tell him to leave his family alone for a while to entertain your silly conspiracies on the internet.

Jeremy - I don't own him. He'll reply, or not, at his leisure

Well, Jeremy stated that you are his "invertebrates manager".
Is this untrue? Are you denying any business dealings with him? Especially from this shipment that was supposed to contain Togolensis but, in actuality, did not?

....

He did not. He referred the 1 person that asked, to me. I in turn explained what happened. And that was that. If this little troll would not have started running his mouth and marking false claims, Jeremy would have referred him to me also but didn't have time as the troll want from 0 to 100 within seconds of his "sting".

Yes I am. Just like he is the tortoise and turtle manager. (I don't really know much about them).

You didn't read the whole thread did you. Both of these were explained in the links to AB where I TOLD EVERYBODY THE 50 THAT WERE SUPPOSED TO BE TOGOLENSIS WERE NOT TOGOLENSUS INCLUDING THIS LITTLE TROLL.
 
Why should I? For even one second, what do I owe you, to scan and show all of you the packing list and CITES paperwork?
We aren't politicians.
I don't need to have "transparency" in what we import (not to you all, anyway).
In the US, guilt is by a preponderance of evidence. I don't have to provide "evidence" to show I haven't done anything wrong.
If you can't be bothered to look at the time stamps his screen shots and/or the C&P'd narrative from messenger, that's not my problem.

Maybe simpler sentences will help you grasp this Lucille.

There were supposed be a bunch of togolensis.
The shipment came.
there were only a couple that I don't want to sell in the shipment.
The ads were put up because we thought we were getting them.
we didn't get them, so we took them down.
we forgot one.
someone asked me about them, and I said we don't have any for sale.
Someone asked Jeremy about them, and he referred them to me.
Because Jeremy didn't reply quickly enough to satisfy our resident Dick (that's slang for Private Eye, folks), he thought all his Scooby-Doo dreams were about to come true and he was gonna busted us for haunting the mansion! Oh, wait, I mean he decided he was going to bust us for NOT SELLING items that WE DIDN"T HAVE.

NOT SELLING
products
that
we
DID NOT
have in our possession.

IF we had taken your money and given you a wrong animal, then all your righteous indignation would be valid.
but.... but.... but....

No one took your money.
No one gave you a product under false pretenses.

Your desire to be a world class Dick (that's Private Eye, folks) made you rush in and see a scam where there was none...
And all your little hens keep on clucking away because you think that my brash personality is an indictment of my character as a whole.

Me being unpleasant to people who are accusing me of being a liar and a thief, when I am neither, is actually a pretty reasonable response.

Actually it really is not, all it does is show people your character and how you will most likely react in a case where you may truly be at fault.
I do not think I have seen anybody on here recently dig their own grave so fast and so deep as you have managed to do.
Just my opinion of course which does not mean anything much besides an observation.
I have zero axe to grind in this and have read the FULL thread right from its inception and it was amusing until you actually joined in when it then went to incitefull for future potential customers
Have a great day!

Which is it? You say first that the ads were put up because you thought you were getting them, then you turn right around and say you didn't order them.


NOR DID I ADVERTISE SAID THING I DID NOT HAVE



In the mean time, my partner (who mostly does wholesale lots of animals) put up ALOT of ads for togolensis. AS THAT IS WHAT HE WAS TOLD AND THOUGHT HE HAD.

You are responsible for what your partner does, in a partnership.

Show me where I said I EVER HAD togolensis.
There were supposed be a bunch of togolensis.
The shipment came.
there were only a couple that I don't want to sell in the shipment.
That was easy

You've had a history of lying on this site, you used a fake name for years, similar enough so that folks from elsewhere might recognize you, different enough so that you were evading site rules.

You've told enough lies to make what you say suspect. And you are using the time honored scammer tactic of using personal attacks on those who try to point out these lies for the benefit of the community.
 
1. NOW, My partner picks up the shipment, calls me and tells me it came in and mentions we have scorpions in the boxes.
2. (Weird because we didn't order any that I know of) .
3. I ask him what kind of scorpions and he say the paperwork says Hottentotta hottentotta, Androctonus togolensis.
4. To which I say "NO FREAKING WAY".
5. He assuses me that's what the paperwork says.

There were supposed be a bunch of togolensis.

there were only a couple that I don't want to sell in the shipment.

As a reader and member of Fauna, these two are confusing.
Were you expecting them?
OR
Were you surprised that you got some since you didn't order any?
 
And since the admins are watching this thread....
Since this guy has been proven to be a troll and makes baseless claims and trys to slander people I want him banned from here. This site does not need people who make baseless claims call people scammers and refuses to stop harassing people.

Sorry, we do not ban users or remove threads because of differences in opinion. We do from time to time give warnings, infractions or ban individuals for violating the site's rules.

Phil, on Oct. 16, 2:46 pm, you stated, "I am supposedly getting 50 adults. He also put in 100 Hottentotta, 100 A. Australis,100 Srtomatapelma calceatum. In post #78 here, you said you advised your partner..."I won't be able to help with this shipment as I would be very busy for a few days". So you knew you had a shipment of close to 400 invertibrates coming in and you left the turtle guy in charge? Time for him to find a new "invertebrates manager". So did they remain in packaging for those few days or did your "partner" assume the role invertebrates manager?
 
At this point, the post seems to have accomplished its goal. Perhaps a more composed explanation could have swayed opinion back in to Phil's favor, but after a few minutes of getting involved, he exposed himself as someone that doesn't take his "business" very seriously, and as such, it would not be wise to get involved with him.

You sound like a child. Why would anyone want to do business with you. I don't care if you are innocent of wrongdoing, I don't want to deal with you because of the way you talk to people. You can't even explain the situation without insults. Is this how you conduct business? Yeah, the OP kinda jumped off the deep end before learning how to swim, but between you and Jeremy not a damn thing was explained in a professional manner with the OP or in this thread. You look shady, are very immature, and shouldn't be in business in any industry.
 
On post 27 the screen shots where Jeremy confirmed he had them available are from Oct 16th. Same day you told the OP that they were mislabeled on the paperwork. Why would the OP be advised of this before Jeremy? Also, who provided the confirmation on identification that Jeremy referred to? Wouldn't you confirm the species before offering them for sale. You seem to think its very obvious this wasnt a scam attempt, but it sure looks like one to an outside perspective. If we are missing something, great! Share it and we'll all be happy that it was a big misunderstanding, but at this point it sure looks like either one, or both, of you tried to use a paperwork error to make some sneaky extra cash.
