    In short, DON'T! Email notices are to ONLY alert you of a reply to your private message or your ad on this site. Replying to the email just wastes your time as it goes NOWHERE, and probably pisses off the person you thought you replied to when they think you just ignored them. So instead of complaining to me about your messages not being replied to from this site via email, please READ that email notice that plainly states what you need to do in order to reply to who you are trying to converse with.

    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....

Casey Ritch - Norman, OK is a thief and scammer

Heck, thee other thread was several months ago....he has probably been promoted to professor by now.
 
We will be in Norman on Saturday. I lived there a couple years and still live close. I think that address is out by the lake so we will swing in and check on him to make sure everything is ok. I still hang out with a couple of the local coppers over there so I just might be able to get 1 of them to give me a ride. If I can get your snake or a 3000 gm female from him or that residence ( I doubt it’s his real name) I’ll let ya know.Or if he wants to contact me I will just go pick it up. I think I know this guy but not sure till I see him. If it’s the same guy the name is defiantly wrong. The location just seems familiar.

it's great that you have an awesome sense of humor, but it's even better to know how much support you have from the good guys here in the hobby. I hope you get your snake back, and I say you keep the rock as well claiming it's restitution for emotional damages.
 
That address on the packing slip for Dhl is actually the Office of the Apartment community Casey lives in Its called the Cedars.. Just look around for an apartment with a lot of unattended boxes marked Fragile. By best accounts according to DHL casey left 5 packages on his front stoop for them to pickup.. Two of them ended up as subjects of these threads..
 
Mid to upper 80’s here this weekend. All the kids out on there bicycles will know the guy with the snakes.

somebody needs to tape it, so we can send it in to America's Dumbest Criminals.
 
Been down this road before. Plus living with 2 highway patrolmen I learned some tricks.

OK, here's the latest
Casey,
I appreciate you shipping it out. What am I to think when you promise me you are sending it back Thursday for Friday and leave no email and don't answer your phone. Like I said, I was trying to be patient and understanding, but I will only deal with so much. If you ship it back I GUARANTEE I will post on the boards that you did so. The address is correct and if you do ship out, send the tracking number please. I will post this interaction on the board so that folks will know you are making an attempt to make ammends.
After all the trouble we have had thus far, I thought I had been cheated, because I know if I had this much trouble with a customer, it would be my number one priority to make sure he knew what was going on. Thanks for contacting me and the only reason I left that message was because I was getting frustrated with this whole deal.

Regards,
John Bortel

Is this an old email or is Casey admitting to sending you a rock?
 
Personally I dont see how this guy is going to save his "Good Name". He tried to rip you off and knew exactly what he was doing. As far as Im concerned the guy could send you 10K worth of herps, grovel at your feet, and name his first born after you and I would still not ever do business with him. what's the saying? "Fool me once shame on you. Fool me twice...."
 
Why don’t you just have him meet me in Norman on sat?? He can’t ship today anyway or it will sit all weekend.

Hello I am sorry you are having so many problems with Casey. I have worked with him in the past and it all went fine. That might be because I visited him and no shipping was required. I hope this all works out.
