Bearded Pets (BAD GUY)

I found his cell phone provider

His cell phone provider is "Adelphia Business Solutions Of Georgia, Llc"

I suppose we could contact them, and tell them what he is doing on their network. Maybe we should get him to send a letter to us through the US postal service stating the condition of the animals so that it would be mail fraud if they aren't as stated. I wish I was a lawyer. There has to be a way to get this guy.

Post all contact info you can. I did some fairly extensive research as I have a friend in the Public Defenders office who has access to finding stuff out.

The numbers I called got me nowhere. I finally got some woman on the phone and she denied knowing who Bearded Pets was. Funny thing is that one of the occupants of the address of Jon has the same last name - Laperchia or something. His website "beardedpets.com" list Jon Laperchia as the owner and gives a Georgia cell number, but I have never got an answer.

The address on the box of "pied" hets I purchased was a fake one. I was thinking about sending them back as well. BTW, the snakes I got were not healthy - obviously wild caught. One was skinny as a pencil and died a few days later - the other is refusing to eat and will die soon.

I just don't understand how people can rob folks of their hard earned money like that - and keep on doing so. Just blows my mind.

But their time is coming!
 
sucks to hear jason

Jason I am sorry to hear about these bastards ripping you off, but on a better note the male het albino I purchased from you about a month and a half ago is doing great. Thanks for the great snake and I hope you guys get these assholes.
 
glad to hear

Glad to hear the het albino is doing well. He was always a good snake.

Not picky at all. I got an albino male to replace him, and oldly enough the albino male turned out to be an albino female. Lucky, or not, I haven't decided at this point. I do know that it's not going to prove out my poss het females.
 
Here's the address

The address on the box that Bearded Pets sent me is this ...

Brenda Woods
7709621645 All South Door
1461 Grayson Hwy
Grayson, GA 30017

Hopefully this helps the cause.

Jason
 
That is the same address that was on my box.

IT IS A FAKE ADDRESS!!!!!!
 
I figured

I did a look up on the address, and didn't get any love from whitepages.com. The phone number that he sent me too is a cellphone. I think it would take a federal warrant to find out where they send the bills.

I've got his phone number, and he thinks that I want to buy snakes from him, what should I say on the phone to get him to incriminate himself? Also, is it legal to record the call in Kansas or Georgia?

Ode to Bearded Pets

Ode to Bearded Pets

Reptiles are some of the coolest animals yet,
So I sought to fill the void in my life,
And purchased one from the net.

I went to kingsnake.com, and all the other sites,
I clicked on the subcategory “Ball pythons”,
Because “HEY” its better than flying kites

Snakes are cool. There’s no denying that,
But when I ordered from Bearded Pets,
I would have rather someone sh!t in my hat

The snake arrived shriveled, frozen, and dead,
I called to complain, but Bearded Pets told me,
“Don’t worry, he’s just in shed”

I said this is bullsh!t. This isn’t just me?
Bearded Pets responded, saying
“What guarantee?”

I told them, “Get ready. I’m on my way to come kick your @ss”,
They act so innocent
As if just returning from mass

I voice to the world about my experiences, here on the BOI,
I find others here who have been taken,
By the cunning-so sly

They operate like wolves amongst the sheep,
Selling garbage, scamming others,
And BROTHER the sh!t here is getting deep.

Yea, yea sure……you guys think you got me,
When im thru with you, MOTHERF****RS,
You’re going to the penitentiary

I thought it was cute!

PS I’m not just the president of the UHFABP, but I’m also a client. ROFLMAO If you've had a problem w/ Bearded Pets call our hotline @ 1-800-FUCT-OVR ext. 715
 
Anyone who has actually filed a legitimate claim, and has documentation of this claim, for goods not received PLEASE contact me ASAP. Thier days on KINGSNAKE may be numbered.....

If you have been ripped off by bearded pets go to the following sites and file your claims IMMEDIATLEY.

http://www.ifccfbi.gov/index.asp
http://www.scambusters.com/
http://www.fraud.org/
http://www.bbb.org/

After your claim has been filed and you receive notification please contact me. Kingsnake has been notified countless times and this is NOW what they are saying...

It depends on what the complaint was about. If it was a complaint for a problem, then a vendor has 3 strikes they can have against them. If it is nondelivery of goods, then they are banned until the complaintant retracts their complaint.

and

No one has proven legally that this company has done anything. Until someone who has been scammed through us files a report with the IFCC, we can do nothing. Please encourage anyone that has been scammed to file a report with the IFCC at: http://www.ifccfbi.gov. They must then file the original report that the IFCC sends back to them to us.

Again, until someone is willing to file with the Internet Fraud and Complaint Center, we can do nothing.

So either put up, or SHUT UP guys ..... do something other than bitching and whining. Lets actually ACT instead of complaining.

Make your claims and complaints, and then contact me. I'll be happy to file them jointly in one big compiled list with all of your approriate contact information so they may verify these complaints. This way, they will no longer be able to take a 'no action' stance to individual complaints.

This is what I'm willing to do to help, will you help yourselves?

Time will only tell....
 
It's begun

I got a call from the local Shawnee Mission Police department. They are recommending contacting the Georgia attorny general. Paypal emailed to say that they are opening a fraud claim after initially denying me. I don't know if it's because I opened the claim with the legal folks or not.
 
I think we won

I got 2 emails from Bearded Pets saying that he will refund my money. I guess all it takes is getting his phone number, and filing a complaint with the Government.

Here's his email to me .
please return snakes for a full refund ,as they are guarenteed healthy , we
will give you a refund or send you replacement snakes , your choice ,

the return ups acount #XXXXXX (3RD PARTY ) SEND TO - E SALES
