Inquiry adam rudie aka papa.wolf

[hhmoore]

I'm wondering if anybody has had any interactions with this guy...not because I'm interested in purchasing from him, but because of the things I've been seeing today.
1)

Damn, crazy how you guys talk crap about some one who isnt even a member on here. He passed away a long time ago and this crap on here is ridiculous when you google his name! First off I lived with him for years and know for a fact that fauna froze his account cus of acorsi and this angelo corsi has tons of reports of ripping people off as well as reports of changing his name multiple times. If those were the snakes he sent then why did not even 2weeks later did corsi sell the REAL ones for $500 and $350 a piece to someone!!! Well its the anniversary of his death and I swear on his grave all you pos that live in the sac area are gonna get what's coming to you. Bunch of p*ssy scam artists

2) I find that he shares an IP match with a fraudulent account

3) I see that the fraudulent account posted ads just before the post in item #1 was made

Only one of those ads had images (I deleted the one that didn't), but all 4 of those images were taken from an ad posted on a UK forum back in June
See fraudulent ad, with link to original, HERE

4) I checked his existing ads, only to find this one...and I tracked each image to other sources (listed in my post to the ad)

If anybody knows Adam - in the real world, or via online interactions - please feel free to offer comments.

Guess I didn't proofread well enough - the color didn't work in item #4, but the link does.

I don't know Adam, but he does have a FB: (and I have screen shots, lest it disappears)

He is also FB friends with Donny, who ironically changed his profile picture just 4 days ago. Imagine that!

The original ad from RFUK where the pics of the Retic were stolen from was actually posted on December 6, 2013. The day and month are switched on that forum so it reads 6-12-13. The snake was marked sold a week ago on 12-12-13. Not that it makes much of a difference just thought I should add that tidbit.

You have to love the attention to detail or lack there of in the bogus ad. The Retic in the photos is definitely not a yearling, as stated in the original ad it's a 4 year old 13' female. I did have a laugh at the comment "holdback from last year", then further down produced by NERD. Just for fun below are both ads first the bogus ad then the original ad from RFUK. Points of interest are colored red.
