    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 Alfonso Tangherlini & Friends / Associates - SCAMMERS VIA PAYPAL CLAIMS

I recently had a deal worked our with a group of individuals and i was searching through fauna trying to find there usernames and lone behold ALFONSO TANGHERLINI who lives at 15454 sw 139st. Miami, FL. tryed to scam us out of our animals and money. Now i didn't speak with Alfonso directly but his buddies are not on here so let me explain.

John Foster - @ 38 Saint George Terrace Bear, DE 19701,
Juan Catala - @ 2720 Kinsington Circle, Weston, FL 33336, and
Alfonso Tangherlini - @ 15454 sw 139st. Miami, FL

Tried scamming me this past Tuesday out of 10 panther chameleons. I sent 4 to Juan, 4 to Alfonso and 2 to John with 2 payments from Juan and Alfonso on Monday afternoon 7/31/17. Everything seemed fine. Packaged my animals properly after we had agreed on 2 Ambilobe's and 2 Tamatave Pairs each as well as 1 each of those locales to John. Anyways as soon as the package arrived (I receive delivery confirmation through reptilesxpress.com) at 6am PST California time (He lives in FL) I thought he would be happy and our deal would be done. I woke up with a different outcome to a delivery confirmation as well as a PayPal Claim stating that Alfonso didn't get his package. Strait BS

Not only did he receive 4 Chameleons but he wanted his $450 back so he opened a claim trying to keep everything. Luckily PayPal had my back and sense he received his package through tracking number they awarded my money back. Regardless if i received it back or not this guy is shady! Dont do business with the above stated names.

Soon after i was awarded my money back form the Alfonso case Juan Catala tried the same. but this time he stated that the items in the package were different than what was agreed upon if either of them try to defend themselves i will upload the text message pictures as well as all the evidence if they dont try to defend themselves i guess you know im right.

Other than that Im currently working with the PayPal claims department to get the 400 back from him ($850.00 in total). Not only did Juan Catala try to open a Paypal claim he also went as far to cancel his account or claim fraud at the financial institution that he used for business transactions through PayPal and PayPal is looking into that for me as well. It seems Juan Catalas $450 dollars is a goner (Pending on PayPals Decision) I did however submit them quite extensive screen shots of our conversation with the agreement and Juan will most likely lose this case but regardless i want the good people in our community to be aware of these names and make sure you keep them on your SCAMMERS LIST. Thanks for listening guys! Cheers

For your information Jackson Gall aka Sacmaverick, [email protected] I am the one who contacted PayPal on Tuesday to release the funds to you because I received the package. Palpal issues is not the reason your are selling sick chameleons in Fauna and chameleon forums and not standing behind your warranty

Post evidence of your claims on this thread please.
 
I'll post evidence as soon as I get to my facility (screenshots of paypal claim, delivery confirmation, and text message of what was sold ) give me about an hour or so but I think that it's funny that when anyone tries to scam you their immediate reason is you sent me sick animals. You know this is bs I work with so many people in the community they have never once received a bad animal for me. And if you truly are innocent then we'll get to the bottom of this I'm not here to bash anyone in particular except people that try and get iver on others I poested based on experience and evidence.

Never heard of same day FedEx shipping of live animals. I believe only way to get same day delivery is delta dash or similar or a courier, both methods expensive.
NO METHOD would get you a delivery Monday morning of the distance involved....period!
Nobody promised delivery by Monday what the f*** are you talking about Monday shipping for Tuesday arrival and that's what happened

Posts elsewhere even some forums on this site can be edited by the poster, posts and screen shots on this forum cannot.
Alfonso is avoiding repeated requests to post evidence here.
 
Funny because he just appealed his claim on PayPal trying to say now that the package was different after I already won the delivery dispute. Your just digging yourself a deeper hole Alfonso
