    In short, DON'T! Email notices are to ONLY alert you of a reply to your private message or your ad on this site. Replying to the email just wastes your time as it goes NOWHERE, and probably pisses off the person you thought you replied to when they think you just ignored them. So instead of complaining to me about your messages not being replied to from this site via email, please READ that email notice that plainly states what you need to do in order to reply to who you are trying to converse with.

    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 Jerry Graham aka bigred21001, and [email protected] -- Buyer Beware!

Wow I am just shocked at what people will do to others just to make a buck. Anya I am sorry you guys had to deal with such a scum bag.

Thank you for your service.
 
yes ballistic balls is jerry's wife, that i'm sure of. the cinny male, het red male and female pastel #2 in her ad are the animals i traded to jerry, im positive of that. i saw his collection when we made the trade and i don't recall seeing any pieds.
 
As of today, I have filed a claim with Paypal and a dispute with my credit card. Paypal was inconclusive because their claim period is only 45 days, but I will have a full refund from my credit card within 48 hours. Go Discover card! I recommend these guys to anybody because they are really great to work with. Anyways, I am sending all information and evidence that I have to them and they will be investigating Jerry. Thank you to everyone that has helped make this happen. With your help, I have revealed what a scumbag Jerry Graham is.

Glad to hear you're getting your money back. :D Thanks so much for all the information and time you've taken to post here. I'm sure it will help someone else avoid a similar - and perhaps not as fortunate - outcome. :thumbsup:

Anya I'm super glad you got things taken care of and i appreciate the chance to make a couple new friends in this crazy hobby of ours.
 
I am so happy you're getting your money back- what a mess for you to have to go through. I hope Jerry and his wife never sell another snake now. I sure won't be dealing with them, and as soon as I get paid this week I will contribute to the BOI. It's saved me from a number of bad dealers.
 
glad you got your money back anya. i wouldn't have thought jerry would do that based on the impression i got from him the evening i went over to his place to trade some animals. i guess you just never know what people are really like. i did notice that the ballistic balls ad vanished from here shortly after it was linked to jerry. interesting to say the least.

I don't know what is happening then. I don't have a phone number or any other way to contact him other than by email or pm. Maybe you could call him and get something more than I am able to at this point.

Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Anya

You sent this guy $1300 without ever talking to him?

In hindsight, I wish I wouldn't have made the deal, period. I have made deals by email only before with no problems whatsoever. I am really doubtful if it would have even made a difference in this case if I had talked to him on the phone. Other people have said that he is kinda shady, even in phone conversations.

Anya Makashova
 
I agree the phone conversation probably wouldn't have made a difference. But you might have been able to tell what type of person he is.
 
I went through a long drawn-out dance with Jerry back at the beginning of the Summer. Luckily, no money or animals were exchanged. Just lots of empty promises, weird "other people" popping up in the deal, and a lot of wasted time. In the end, it seemed to me that he gets off on playing on the internet and pretending to be someone he's not. The very obvious bottom line is, he's full of shit...save yourself the hassle.

Anya is a good friend of mine. I know for a fact that she did not receive her snake...the snake that she PAID FOR weeks ago. YOU are the scammer in this situation.

And you do realize...anyone can fake emails that have been copied and pasted. We need some solid evidence from you that you shipped the snake and Anya received it. I agree that a tracking number and proof of signature for the package is in order.

I am getting so tired of the criminals that operate within our hobby. People like this need to be stopped.

I might be a little to late on this but here's my 2 cents:

I say screen shot the email where he got the email that she received the ball python.
 
It looks like Jerry and his wife Jennifer are back! I would be extremely hesitant to make any deals with these people after seeing what scumbags they are!

Glad you got your money back. It is a shame what money/greed will do to people. So, I wonder if Jerry is long gone?

Me too! I turned around and bought a breeder male pied, like I had hoped to initially!

Apparently Jerry is back. He was logged in earlier under his wife's name and is now looking for geckos.

You dont know what your talking about this not Jerry I have nothing to do with Jerry so before you make a statment you should know for sure that its a true statment.
