    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....

Signature reptiles in MA are not much of a reference :shootfoot

There is another signature reptiles in Illinois that they should not be confused with.
 
Often times, a Personal Recovery or Retrieval Agent can help to settle these little situations. Of course it would not be worth it for a very small amount of cash or stolen goods. But, if it were for a fair amount, it is a good idea. The odds at gettin your cash/things back are better than you would think. It is a nice break from the idel threats people make saying they will do something like sue or go kick someones a$$. That rarely ever happens. In this sort of situation, you play your cards well and you will have your day of wreckoning. And probably even a nice laugh at the rip off artists expense:) Also, this was not aimed towards anyone in particular. I only skimmed through the first and last page of this whole thread. I am only offering an option for people who do not know how to get their money back after being ripped off.

Good luck!

I just finish dealing with this idiot. He actually found me in Craigslist.org. The guy is a SCAMMER. I didnt fall for his act, but it was funny to see how hard he tried.

well from what I hear billy has no shame and has been seen at local expos even after being confronted and revealed here on the BOI. I'll be shocked if he has the brass to show up at the RI show. I should talk to scott and see if a sign could be posted at the front door, In reguards to known scammers. Hey now there's an idea!!

If they do not allow that, you guys could try e-mailing all the people who will be having booths and see if they was an individual sign for each stand so everyone will see!
 
That would take a pretty big set for Billy to actually walk around the RI show.
Be cool to have a T-shirt with his mug on it..*wanted for stealing/scamming snakes*...
 
dan, are you going to RI? I'd like to meet up with everyone and say hello in person so here's a mug shot of me. If you see me stop and say hello.
