    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....

Kimbi,
Thanks for getting back to me, but I have to be honest with you, I have never heard of Jet-A-Pet Shipping Lines, and I never heard of a freight company in this day and age that didn't have some kind of tracking system. Are you trying to con me? If you could get me a phone number over here so I can call and check on the lizards I would feel better about all of this. I'm telling you, if I find out you have the money and I don't get the lizards, it will not be pleasent

I will go to Western Union this morning and check on the money again, the other day they said it hadn't been picked up yet, I don't know why you don't have it. I sent it per your instructions, myself, John Browns the name "ask me again and I'll knock you down" (a little humor).

My wife says you should have paid the shipping, and released the lizards to us since I have sent you $700.00 Canadian, she's just really mad because she had to stay home, missed work, lost pay, and had to deal with all the upset people at the zoo Saturday. I've been hearing about it all week too, and its getting old.

John
 
This is too funny. Try this one...Tell him that due to a number of cases of fraud with persons named Kimbi, Western Union is refusing to release funds to anyone of this name. He has to have someone go there without him...They must have I.D. to pick up the money. When the person comes back and tells him there is no money you can tell him that Western Union says they released it to the person he sent. Then, he'll think that the person he sent has the money and is scamming him???
 
I wonder why he never even replied to me after I responded to his original message about having the Southern Copperhead. He's obviously very zealous about this stuff. What's wrong with me that I can't be BS'd and led on too?
 
Ryan...

...he probably hasn't responded to you because you requested an animal that actually exists! Try asking him if he has any Assicus clownii... I bet he has hundreds just waiting to be sent to your door via Jet-A-Petshipping. ;)

more from kimba

i sent him this Hi' Im very interisted in buying all 3. WOW A female takini inda boutie for
only $400 are you sure? normally they wholesale for $5000 or more. Are you
sure it's not a MALE takini inda boutie? There are plenty out in california
if i wanted a male and they are cheap. Are you sure its a female takini inda
boutie? They are kinda rare! What color is the takini inda boutie? How long

Thanks
now he's trying to be a bird dealer lol now he is [email protected]
 
I'd tell him Western Union is telling you that their normal tracking check indicated the $$ were delivered, but that they would do an in depth check for a $50. Request he Paypal you the cost because you are worrried the mistake was at his end :hehe:
 
This is too much fun, look for a price reduction on the takini inda boutie!

Here's todays e-mail and my response, I think he treats his customers wrong, how can you quote $400.00 on an animal and the ask $4000.00, I'm so embarassed he's treating my friend like that!

Hi John,
Good day.I am telling you the truth,the western union people told me that the money is not there,as you asked,the Jet-A-Petshipping lines does not require any tracking number,they deliver to address you gave them.It's the only shipping company that we can rely on.Please scan the receipt the people in western union gave you and send it to me now.You don't need to worry about anything,the lizards are all in perfect conditions.Immediately I receive the money,the lizards will be deliver to you at your door.Please you need to go to the western union and present this address to them if the money was transfered to it and why is it that the western union people in Cameroon are saying that there is no money under this address .
First Name;Kimbi Ernest
Last Name;Musa
Country:Cameroon
City:Bamenda
You need to go there now and verify the information and give me the right details so that I pay the shipping company so that they can deliver these lizards to you now.Please tell your wife that she should be patient.After you receive these 6lizards,I will send you 2females again so that you are fully satisfieds.I want to establish a good friendly business relationship with you.You will not regret doing business with me.This I promise you.
So go and check with the western union.
Kind Regards
Kimbi



Kimbi Kimbi Kimbi,
I checked at Western Union, the problem is the money was sent using the wrong Country code. They have to send it back to me and I need to resend it today. I was really upset with them, since they are costing me money, and I can't get my Uwangi fallenoffi. I do really need a contact number for Jet-a-pet shipping lines so I can check on the lizards, they must have a telephone number over here, other wise how would I contact them if I wanted to use their services to ship something? I would also like a copy of the care sheet that you sent with the lizards, because if its not the right care sheet, they might be dead by now, and I'm not paying for dead lizards. As a matter of fact if I'm not going to send the money out again until I see a copy of the care sheet.
I'm also disturbed at how you treat my friend, why do you embarrass me? You quote him $400.00 on the female takini inda boutie then you tell him its $4000.00? That's just not right, 10 times the original price you quoted, I'm sorry but that's bad business.
I didn't know you had a klingon specker, I would really like to see it, could you e-mail me a photo of you holding your klingon specker, I'd also like to see a photo of you isucoffadog, those are both very rare birds!

So email me a copy of the care sheet so I can resend the money, and I can get my lizards, I hope they are all right. My wife is still really mad, and you will be hearing from her.

John
 
Lol

John,
you've triggerred a 70's flashback to:
The Lazlo Letters:The Amazing, Real-Life, Actual Correspondence of Lazlo Toth, American. by Don Novello.
 
I got a reply right away.

Kimbi replied to my e-mail this morning right away and sent, a care sheet as a down load, here is his e-mail followed my my answer


Hi John,
This is the care sheet I send with the lizards.This will also help to care for other species you will later have.concerning the birds I don't know anything about it,but I gave your friend E-mail address to one bird dealer in my country who supply birds to morethan 20 people every week.Here is the information I ship the lizards with.So you need to go and send the money now so and send me the transfer details for me to collect it and pay the shipping company for caring the lizards to you,feeding and everything they have been doing.Immediately I get the money,I will pay the ahipping company and they will deliver the lizards you.You will never regret doing business with me.This I promise you.
Best Regards
KIMBI


Kimbi,
The care sheet you sent will not down load for me, you need to e-mail it, in text form. I have to leave for the zoo now so, since I still don't have the care sheet or the phone number or contact information on Jet-A-pet shipping lines I can't send the money back out. you need to get these 2 pieces of information to me as soon as possible so I can send the money again and get my lizards. I at least want to see the care sheet so I know they are taking care of them right.
Tell your friend with the birds he needs to learn how to do business right, You have brought me shame because of how he's treating my friend. I would not give him any more business since he doesn't know how to treat people properly. You should go over to his place and talk to him. While your there have him take a photo of you with a klingon specker, I still want to see you with a klingon specker.

John


Then later I recieved a very basic care sheet for all types of lizards, but still no information on Jet-a-pet shipping lines, can you imagine that? Here is the e-mail minus the Care sheet since its rather long and very general, wait until I tell him its too general and I think the lizards are going to die. the line below was added to the bottom of the care sheet like he typed it, but the English is perfect, I'll answer him tomorrow, and he's not going to like it.


So you can go now and make the transfer.
Kind Regards
Kimbi
 
Omg

this thread is so hillarious! I thoughouly enjoyed reading it! And can't wait for the rest to unfold...and yes you are right, it is like a soap opera....

Thanks!

Stephanie
 
John,

You can tell Kimbi you have been calling Jet-A-Pet but they have no information of any shipment of lizards. That you need to provide them with a copy of the attached form (from their website) filled with all the pertinent information. It will be really interesting to see how far he will go with this. :)

My latest reply to Kimbi

To be totally honest I didn't think Jet-A-Pet was real! There really is such a company, I was so sure I didn't even try to find any information on it, Thanks to Alvaro, I decided to check. He'll probably runn like hell now.

Kimbi,
I just contacted Jet-A-Pet Shipping Lines, and they have no record of you sending the Lizards, I had the man triple check and they don't have them. They do have a tracking system, and he told me I need the JAPSL tracking number to check on the lizards, they could be at any point of entry.
That care sheet is BULL SHEET, where did you get that from? What part of the care sheet are they using to care for the Uwangi fallenoffi? If they are not taking care of them properly they are probably either sick or dead by now.
I was going to go and send the money again today, but you have not done as I asked, I need the tracking number, and need to talk to some one from Jet-A-Pet, I guess we could start over if you have more lizards but I can't take the ones they are holding its been too long. I would also like to see a photo of you holding Uwangi fallenoffi, so I can be sure they are the right lizards.
I also need your address, and phone number, Western Union said that would make it easier to contact you when they have the money.

John
 
Jet-A-Pet is a holding company for other airlines. They usually hold dogs, cats , birds etc. while awaiting transfer to a flight. I'm not aware of them being a direct carrier themselves.

...I definitely think you should send Kimbi some money, just not *your* money. Ever get e-mails from the other Nigerian scammers who want to send you a fake cashier's check (though they fail to disclose this information) well above the amount you are asking for an animal that you have for sale? You should bait one of these scammers as well, tell him to send you a check made out to Kimbi Whatshisface for "tax reasons" and then send Kimbi *his* check. Kimbi will be thrilled to receive a check for around $500.00 over his asking price. Tell him the extra is "for his trouble", as undoubtedly the original sender of the check will tell you. Kimbi will cash the check and get taken for "X"-amount that cannot be traced back to you but to another Nigerian scam artist. The scammer gets scammed by another scammer and you get the satisfaction of knowing that you made it all possible. Just a thought! :)
