By the way, threatening people with legal actions over animal trades isn't smart. Because anyone with logic knows that there are no legal repercussions regarding the trading of live animals. If you just " trade ", and the other person doesn't send there end of the deal. It's just too bad, and the law enforcement will take you to take it to small claims court. In which a judge wouldn't care about the case, and you would spend thousands in court costs, plus lawyer fees and processing fees.. not worth it, for no outcome, eh? lol

And that is what he is counting on. That it will not be pursued.

The myspace pages was a good find. One of the photo galleries shows his car and gives his son's name as well.

Oh yeah and he is not listed in the Ohio department of corrections as being on parole but it could have been county?

It is most likely an intimidation tactic. Just like his comments "the big tattooed guy". "On parole", "bad part of town", etc. These are common tactics used to scare off victims once he knows they are on to him.

He is a chicken s*** scam artist, nothing more.

I'll talk to Brian, I had called him about this when it happened just seeking advice.

Sticky Tongues - Allen emailed me and asked me for your address. Said he was going to ship the lone live snake (the ghost) back to you. Said he couldn't get to your info since he was banned from bp.net. Thought I'd put it out there.

Allen is getting less and less friendly in his emails ;)

Chris


Chris,

I just saw his PM's and he did ask for my address. He still has not come clean about the said animals that were supposedly dead. Which email did you use to email him? Here are the PM's and my replies to them. Since he's banned I'm sure he never got them.

actually... I will ship your snakes back. The Mojave is really dead, I will send you the frozen body with the ghost back if youd like.. If not, I will ship your ghost back


Allen,

You are full of it. I have picture proof that he was alive when you received it. You have pics of it on your photobucket account. You think I'm full of it and theres nothing I could do? Just wait and see. It's called theft buddy whether you come to my house and steal something or not. You have something of mine under false pretenses.

Is that fire female the same one you sent me pics of? The same one you have on sale on craigslist as a normal? The same on you posted as a pastel? The same one you listed as a male? Whatever your name is if I don't get my animals back in good health you will have to deal with the authorities and I hope your dad is a good lawyer because you will need it.

BTW, the spider that you told Chris was dead is also shown on your photobucket account. I already took printscreens of all the animals you have on your photobucket account and so have others. So the proof is there. You even tried to trade off my little ghost as a female. We have proof proof proof.

What happens from here is up to you. If I don't get my animals back you will leave me no choice but to go to the authorities. I hope you have some sense in you and fix what you have done to me and Chris and anyone else you have scammed. Good luck and hope you have some sense to do the right thing.

Matt or whatever your name is,

Now I have a pic of you and my "dead" mojave, witnesses, your fake signature that you used to sign for the package and all the proof I need against you. FRAUD, FRAUD, FRAUD!!! Hope to hear from you soon or expect to hear from the New Carlisle police department on Monday.







AllenExotics said:
You're full of it... First off if I did screw you over in a trade. There would be nothing you could do. But, luckily for you I wasn't planning on it. you sent me 2 animals, which were not ready or healthy enough to be shipped.. and it happened to take a toll on the mojave and the ghost.. but since the mojave was DOA,.. I will send you a female fire. Monday. and you send me the correct ghost... and when the mojave gets a few meals in him then we will do that end.
Im not a liar, and chris huffman is a loser. he shipped me animals that looked like they were dead when he shipped him. give me your full adress again. I will hold my end of the deal, even though what Ive got so far is a dead mojave, and a too small ghost.

I can't believe this. I will ship you a female fire which is worth over 800$ just to show you I am honest.

Also, for future reference. Don't threaten a lawyers son with legal matters, as I know there is nothing legal which something can do regarding the trade of live animals. Unless I walked in your house and stole it... but you shipped it to me.

Monday I will be sending out a female fire to your home. And after that I would like for you to retract your statements. Im sending you an 800.00$ fire for a 200$ under nourished ghost, and a dead mojo

StickyTongues said:
Allen,

I'm no longer giving you the benefit of the doubt. I'm hearing and seeing people coming forth about trades you got going on for my animals. One that you reported to me as being dead. Don't try to take them off your photobucket account as I have saved screen shots of it.

I will give you till Tuesday to return both of my animals alive and well otherwise I will be filing a police report at your local police department and will be filing a complaint with the FBI Internet Fraud division as well. I will not let this go lightly and you better believe that!!
 
LIARRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!! if he can't prove it they are dead by showing GOOD Pictures, something deep down in my heart says there is something really wrong. He's lucky I don't know where he lives cause I would go there for you and check them out. So he said he threw them in a freezer? then into a sewage thingy. I say thats a great big load of BS. Any real ball python lover would at least give those little guys a proper burial. As of now I am telling all my friends that all the related usernames and emails should be avoided AT ALL COSTS. Lets all strive to make sure this doesnt happen again shall we.
And for those of you that got skrewed by this loser I'm sorry.
I'm sorry for you, and the little snakies. He better hope he doesn't show up in kansas and ends up skrewing me over... oh no... that would not end pretty.

AGREE!!!
 
I just spoke with the New Carlisle, OH police department to see what the proper procedure would be. nd was asked to contact my local agency first. In return my local agency will contact their detective and they will investigate the claim. I just wanted to be prepared come Tuesday while I am off work to file the claim.

Like I told Matt or Allen or whomever he is, I will give him until Tuesday to delivery both of my animals alive and well and that is what I will do. I'll keep everyone posted on the outcome.
 
Wow. Look at all the bp-net kids showing up.. Hi Guys!
So Allen is a lawyers son now? LMAO! This guy has some of the funniest come backs I have ever seen..
 
I'm not sure how he's sending anybody anything when he said previously

I don't have 1 snake in my house. Just a chameleon.

Pretty tough to ship an $800 fire when you have no snakes...

And as far as the snakes being dead when I shipped I don't even know what to say to that considering I agreed to ship first, five days before I was to receive anything in return.

Chris
 
Sounds like a great start, Sam. :thumbsup: Much luck and if I can be of any help at all please don't hesitate to ask.

I agree that he's a chicken turd. Not to insult the chicken turd of course. All the threats, the telling that that's not his real address and blah blah blah is just BS to try and throw people off his trail. I am so, SO thankful I found this thread and was able to figure him out before he ripped me off. I probably would have gone through with our deal today otherwise.

Here's some of my PMs with him from BP.net, for what it's worth:

camera deal

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hi Matt,

Is there any way I can speak to you on the phone about a camera deal? I am looking for snakes, and while cash is short, I DO have a circuit city card with plenty of room on it. I propose a trade, you pick the camera, I have it shipped to you, then you ship the snake/s. I'd just like to talk to you about what you have available.

My number is 304-xxx-xxxx, and my name is Shadera, but you can call me Sherry if it's easier. Thanks!

Re: camera deal

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hello,
My phone is messed up right now. But, I do have AIM, AOL, Yahoo, and other messengers. How much were you looking to spend? Seems like a good deal, and funny to. Like buying a snake on a Circuit City card lol.

Let me know about how much you're looking to spend, and I will message you back with what I have around that price range.. Than you can let me know which one interests you, and Ill send you some pics.

Matthew

Re: camera deal

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Would you be willing to let both the ghost female and the het pied female go? I'm not sure how nice of a camera you're wanting, but I'm definitely willing to go that high. That ghost gal is really nice! Orange ghost is she?

How would you prefer to do this deal, then? If you're close enough to me (I'm in WV), I guess we could meet up? Otherwise who ships first? Only feedback I have is the folks who I've given a lot of money to. LMAO

Re: camera deal

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Yeah, I would be willing to let them both go, since I'm not working with any Pied Projects this year. I'm working on Pewters, Some Bee projects, and Fireflies to name a few. When it comes to shipping... It's up in the air for me. I prefer to have you ship first ( Nothing personal ). If that's a problem just let me know. I have ALOT of references I could give you, and you could contact them. I'm not here to rip off anyone, I just need a camera, and have lots of Ball Pythons. So, I mean it's up to you. If you want to do this deal, how would we do it? You said, I go to the circuitcity site.. Pick of a camera of equal or less value.. Run it by me please

Re: camera deal

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I'll go ahead and ship first, then. No offense taken at all. And I hope you take no offense in my saying that I would of course take all legal action available to me to get my money back if you don't ship.

Please pick the camera you want, and I'll see if I can have it shipped directly to you, or if there's any way you can pick it up at your local circuit city if you like. (sometimes they want you to have the card it was purchased with in order to pick up, so that might not work)

Let me know, I have card in hand.

Re: camera deal

No offense taken, as I would do the same thing in your position. If I could pick it up at a local Circuit City that would be great, becaus they just built a new one not even 5 minutes from me. After I pick on out, when will you be ordering it? If you order it by this weekend, than I will ship the snake out Monday for Tuesday morning via FedEx overnight. Please may I have your full name and shipping address. And let me know as soon as you find out about the pickup thing.

I won't be able to find out about the pickup thing until I place the order, which I am ready to do right now. If we can't get you pickup, I will have them ship it as fast as they possibly can.

Re: camera deal

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I apologize, I'm no longer comfortable with this deal. I've had the circuit city window open and ready to buy since about 5 o'clock and have been waiting on you to figure out what you wanted. I had no problem even with you having no feedback online even though this would potentially be a $7-800 deal. The ecards cannot be purchased without a price or the info to send it, yet you just wanted to chat via IM for some reason. When I'm doing business with someone I prefer to get everything hashed out without the idle chitchat, otherwise just makes me doubt people.

Again I apologize, and I hope someone else can help you get a nice camera.

Shadera

Re: camera deal

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I offered my number in my very first PM to you at what, 3 or 4 pm yesterday? You didn't want to talk then via phone, and now I'm just way too nervous after all the indecisiveness to do this at all. Yeah it's on a store credit card, but that's still real money I could lose. And as far as offering to ship first....you said yourself within the first few PMs that you wanted me to go first so that was never an option. No offense at all meant here, but I think I'll just wait till I get all my layaways paid off then buy from someone with some online feedback.
 
Chris,

I wouldn't worry about anything that fool claims, whatever name he's using. I'm wondering just how many people he's actually pulled this with.

I live in a 'burb (Hudson Lake) of a little po-dunk town here in Indiana called New Carlisle. You can literally throw a rock from one end of town to the other. If something like this was brought to the authorities here they'd be all over it like stink on a cow paddie! It would be the most exciting thing to happen here in probably a decade. :)

Hope you get things sorted out and the conniving sleaze-ball gets what he truly deserves.

I feel sorry for Brian at BHB. I think he really liked this guy and it's tough to find out those you thought were friends aren't really who you thought they were after all.
 
What is the dollar tally on the stolen snakes? Yes stolen. Is it over the grand theft mark?

Chris, if you don't receive the animals, I would do the same as Sam with first filling reports at your police dept. and then his.

About a year ago, I helped someone out with a similar situation by emailing directly the district attorney's office that covered the small town of a scammer. One of the assistant's really helped out on getting the ball rolling with giving contact information for the right detective that did follow up.

Just Chris's spider het albino female alone is well over a grand. For me it was an 08 ghost male and mojave male. It was almost another 07 ghost male and 08 mojave male if Chris had not stated this thread. Thanks again Chris for starting this!

I am not sure and don't want to do it if Matt Beatty is a separate person.

I think they are one in the same.

And just to add a little more mud ... Clark County Ohio Auditor records show the residence at 913 Leatherwood is owned by a (female name) M. L. Washburn. Wasn't Washburn a name he used also?

I know his son may not share his real last name, but his son's initial are L. A. W(illiamson) .. hence LAW reptiles.
