    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 Adrian Cieslak Florence, SC from Ashley Pets

Pretty obvious OP has mental issue's and an inability to use common sense. Arguing with her will just increase her instability. Pretty much like trying to change a liberal's or right wing's mind, Ain't gonna happen.

She was not the OP. Be a little more careful of whom you accuse.
 
Since I am only working with my phone, this is what I could find for: Rebecca Jeanne Al-Rashdan

Who cares about her this thread is about Cieslak and people who want it to be known he's a thief. If you guys want to continue to talk about her start another thread. I'm sorry Becky is people are internet bullying you but you need to think before you type. Now back to Cieslak people. Please go on other reptile forums if you have accoun5 s and start asking about this name or at least search his phone number so we can spread the word. I don't want this guy ever selling a reptile over the internet if he can't keep his word regarding what he's selling and paying people back once they return the unwanted reptiles. ������������

Becky made an allegation that she sent money and only received one turtle from Cieslak. She has despite repeated requests not provided screen shots or any verifiable proof of her allegation.
Considering her credibility on this thread is relevant to this thread, both for future readers of the thread, and because of the possibility that she could show up on future different BOI threads with unsupported allegations against anyone.
Could there be any truth to her allegations? We don't know, because she has made a game of avoiding posting verifiable information.
 
The only names other than Becky Alrashdan that i could find are Becky A Thes, Becky A Al and Becky Althes. The Becky A Thes name when searched brings up another list of names she has used as well. The link on that page brings you to the Facebook page I'm including screen shots of

I was also able to find a second Facebook page that belongs to Becky, as you can see some of the same pictures are used on both profiles.

There are other affected parties in this thread that have provided proof and been completely ignored. WHY?

This entire thread has become dedicated to questioning a single individual's mental health. If the only thing everyone is interested in is the juiciest piece of drama WHY EVEN BOTHER COMING HERE? you can claim its to help people that have been scammed but this thread shows the exact opposite

I can't help but agree. I also agree that Becky has made statements here which are appropriately being questioned, but I hate to see the original posters who brought their own issues to light be over shadowed by one bad apple. If Becky isn't going to back up her claims, maybe a post about Becky where these inquiries can be made is in order? That way Adrian isn't able to hide behind the pages of drama, and the readers don't lump the OP in the same category as Becky? (category being making unsubstantiated claims). I don't envy the moderators's duties, that's for sure... sounds like a catch 22 as we're either splitting up the subject, or clouding one with another. I bet Adrian, if he did rip of Becky, is some happy he did, lol. She's done more to draw the attention OFF of him than she has to draw it to him, that's for sure. I'm assuming that wasn't her intention...
 
If Adrian has been actively posting sales, he needs to come here and clue us in,

His last ad was posted 5/31/17 (and has since been deleted), screenshot below. Note he was also asking people to contact an "Emma" not himself. He was last signed onto fauna 6/14.

Adrian Cieslak, Florence SC, (404) 483-2542. This guy was adamant he didn't want PayPal and said he was the real deal. I agreed to his Walmart money transfer and he received the money but has not shipped 4.4 EBT in almost 2 weeks due to "family energency". Apparently he owns a pet shop called Ashley Pets in South Carolina. I asked for a refund or the turtles with a 4 day notice. He stopped replying to me. Then I discovered he sold the turtles to someone else and still kept my money. He tells me most of the turtles look sick.

This guy is a fraud, do not buy from him. This is sadly the first and hopefully last time I will ever have to post a scammer here.

On FB there's a group called "turtle and tortoise seller reviews (BOI)" and another guy says he was also scammed out of $1000 and never received anything. What a sad day. Wish someone would've warned me about this guy.

Cieslak86 (Adrian Cieslak) sent me the wrong turtle, and now he won't pay me back for shipping it back and wont send me the correct turtle or refund me my money. That's nice. the worst part this turtle has a deformed shell and has an ear infection with an abscess growing so big he wasnt eating or even walk around.. its been over a month and i gave up on seeing my $275. i had a buddy run his name and info i got all of his family address and names in case someone wants to visit.

Hey took $275 from me. Through money order so I couldn't dispute it. Never do money transaction unless over PayPal.

Yes jolanta cieslak is his mom and his brother is Brother oktawian cieslak. All apparently have hands in selling reptiles/shipping. He said he worked with partners. Idk if Ashley pets is his company. But there is a website for shipping labels he uses to ship http://www.reptilesexpress.com. phone number when I called it was 4044803706. They said he has shipped reptiles not packaged correctly before and he has been spoken too.


Refresher on those who have provided proof, or answered questions.


Andrew & Jeff, file through ic3 ... Lucille has the links, pm her for them.

Seriously? You think you're gonna come in here, pull all the shenanigans you pulled and everyone will just say, "We're cool, go on about your life". That's so cowardly on your part. I think this goes to show that you were completely full of it the entire time and are attempting to sweep all your bs under the rug as quickly and quietly as possible. It's a sorta sad and pathetic attempt at manipulation. I used to work with 12 yr olds better at this crap.
 
James something you might not be aware of is that Becky has been trolling some of our mailboxes with similar PMs. I ignored her. I'm now of the opinion that from start to finish her shenanigans were just a bid for attention, but as a mental health professional I think you would probably be a better judge of the reasons for her behavior.
