    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....

Bad Guy catherine kimball scammer

Anyone know if she really lives at the Port Richey address? That's the one in the pics right? I mean I'm not doing anything this afternoon, I could put the top down and go for a drive up the coast. I couldn't use my usual tactics however, there's this rule about girls :reddevil: :D .

If your really thinkin about setting her up, have her sell you something, ship her money, take police to the address when she goes to pick up cash bam have them ask where and when the snakes are being shipped and make her show them to the police etc.

I dont think you will find a police department that would do that..
 
good work hunting guys, but as you all point out she has 2 addresses like 4hours away from each other....... Anyone ever stop to think that she has everyone send to her address that she maybe filed a "change of address form" which would re-route her mail going to that busted as* house to her real house???? If she did the post workers would just take it to her real house she'd sign for it you'd get the paper thinking she signed at the house you mailed it to... The USPS will not correct the paper they just put a yellow tag on the front of the letter stating the new address
 
Who knows where she lives, whether it be in Orlando or Port Richie, she's still scamming people and I think the Police in those areas need to be notified and given a copy of this thread for them to sort through and slam justice down on her!
 
I just sold a tortoise to Catherine Kimball and she wrote me a check on a closed account. I sold her a terrific leopard two year old, plus overnight shipping for $260.00. She is definately a scammer. I would advise to only get money orders, credit card number, or paypal - which I will now set up. Never had a problem before. Wish I had done some research!
 
Hence the reason you never send anything through the mail without a check clearing first! If she mailed you the check then you can get her for postal fraud and if the check is bad you could get her for fraud there too. Go to your local police station and also contact the station where the check was sent from. I haven't made it to Port Richie yet to drop a copy of this off with them but it's in the near future... I might just fax it on over to them unless someone else can do the honor.

Hi, thanks so much. I will be home all day tomorrow.
My daughter will be soooo happy, its just in time for her birthday. She will love the little guy.
I will keep your email so I know what to feed him (his favorites etc), I will also soak him in shallow water when he arrives.


So here she says she has a daughter! She is a les with a husband AND a daughter!
 
If you could... post all E-mail correspondence between you and also a copy of the check front and back that she sent you along with the envelope with the return address for the check. These will all help with getting your animal back and the money back to the many people she scammed before.
 
One weekend I will make a special trip to the police station and try to get them to go to her place to get this animal back for you. I'm about an hour or so away from her. Can you post a picture of said animal on here for ID purposes?

Can you post the address that you shipped to up here. It might help out some of these others. Thanks

Wow! I just read this entire thread. One thing I don't think I saw anyone else mention is the idea that Catherine and Amanda are the same person and are aliases. But are people really falling for $20 ball pythons anyway? I mean come on...that's just, well too good to be true.

Nice to know that this community will rally together and help someone that has been taken. Nice job guys.

Actually, LLL recently had some baby balls for $20. I bought one.

As far as getting scammed by Catherine, I have yet to hear anything from the police, post office or internet fraud. I know I only lost $35 and I don't care as much about the money as I do stopping her from scamming others.
 
As far as the $20 ball pythons go.. Yes.. you can get Farm Hatched babies for that price most of the time however you are not going to find a $20 Albino Ball Python. I still have to get this printed out and sent to the Port Richie Police Dept... My printer is down so I have to get it done at the library and that's gonna cost an arm and leg :)
