    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....

Chris Zorra?

I may be buying some geckos ...

and I too am looking for some feed back. He aswered my wanted ad on KS for some female gold dust day geckos. Does anyone know about Chris? He said he works for UPS and can do overnight for $10.

Chris Zorra

I have just found out that Chris Zorra is A.K.A pat Kane. And pat kane is someone who owes 15,000+ dollars for reptiles. He is a lying stupid son of a b**** that none of you should ever do business with. He almost got my money until i figured out at the last minute. If you get an address make sure its not Kane Zoological because if it is then that is pat kane. The whole room mate story/ works for UPS/fedex story is all bulls**t. Just letting all of you know.
 
??

Unsure what this came about from?

I don't even know a Pat Kane....

A couple people are recieving animals today so I will direct them to post here. I didn't post before because I didn't have anything to say.

However this snakewrangler kid makes assumptions without any proof to back it up....strange...very strange...


Chris
 
Hey Chris,

Then why didn't you ever get back to me about the sand boas? I thought we had a deal worked out and as soon as I posted this inquiry you disappeared. Pretty fishy to me!

And you were telling me about your roommate, which is a classic scam story!

If the shoe fits?

Thanks
Brandon Larson
 
UMMM... I may be wrong but,

Chris,
I got your last email. I haven't gone through with the deal for the geckos because it just didn't seem right for some reason. I may be wrong and if I am I will apologize: I think there may be something up. Hopefully the email from you I just copied will be posted here. If this doesn't work can someone tell me how to do a screen shot & post it?

Hi I am actually in Rhode Island, not terribly close to Atlanta
haha....shipping would be the only option unforutnately unless you want to
drive all the way up here.

Also, Ican't accept paypal unfortunately I used to have an account I
recieved $1374.20 for an omega speedmaster watch and the person recieved the
watch and cancelled the payment...paypal did nothing to help me, so I will
never use them again,

We can do money ordder, western union, cashiers check, personal/business
check....just about any other method besides paypal....

Let me know,

Chris






I thought your tag on here listed your location as New Bedford, MA. ? if you are truly on the up & up, I wish you luck with your animals. If you are a scammer, I hope you get the worst pinworm infection medical science has even seen in a human being.

Hello

Hello,

I have not forgotten about you Brandon, I am simply trying to get ahold of a camera.

Also on the location, I go to college at Umass Dartmouth and live at home when I go to school in New Bedford, so out of habit I put New Bedford, however in the summer time I am living in Providence, RI....

Not a scam hopefully some people will be posting here today to dismiss any of those rumors.

Thanks,

Chris
 
Hye Chris,

I certainly don't want to attack you or anything. I just want to be sure that I am dealing with an honest person.

So far I am not convinced. If you get some good feedback, that is from reputable individuals, then I will have no problem doing business with you!

Just be forewarned, people in this industry do not take kindly to scammers and we must do all that we can to protect ourselves and those you seek to do business with us. S

tories of roommates and address problems will send up a bunch of red flags and will torpedo your efforts to sell or buy from us!

Just my 2 cents!

Brandon Larson
 
I just went a did a search on Pat Kane

on the BOI. There was a mention of Regal Reptiles in the thread...kinda looked like something familiar, but I have never dealt with Rgal Reptiles. So I went back through my emails & found out why Regal Reptiles was so familiar....

Hi there!

I currently have three female gold dust geckos, absolute peaches, they were my
roomates he bought them CB from Regal Reptiles a few years ago. When my roomate
moved out, he left me his animals and I need the space so I'm selling some off
but only to good homse and from what you streesed your post you sound like a
match made in heaven for these animals.

I am open to reasonable offers its more the space than the money....also I dno't
have pictures because I don't have a digital camera, although I promise they are
in pristince condition.

Thank-You again,

Chris Zorra



Chris I think there are a whole lot of circumsatances here which I don't think you have the right answers for. If you are Pat Kane, you just found out how fast the good word spreads. I also know you have visited this website before...I got another email I will post later, where you stated if I didn't want to do the deal you would post them on this site. BTW ...does anyone know where I can find some P. laticauda looking for females for my male? Beware I will look you up on the BOI!

Ro Hill
 
I am pretty sure Chris Zorra = Pat Kane.

I got an email from a guy named Steve Schindler who had a question about a deal with Chris Zorra for some RETFs. Chris (Pat) wanted him to send the money in a MO or western union. I asked what the address was he was told to send the $$$$ to. Turns out the address is the same as Kane Zoological: Email below...

Here is the address he gave me. I will check it against Kane Zoological.

Chris Zorra

*******

Pat Kane, you are a sorry individual. What is your point in ripping people off? I know you will read this post. Luckily, people are starting to communicate with the help of this forum to weed out SOB's like you! Grow the hell up & get some ethics!

Ro Hill
 
well I also checked the addy.
Pat you are a pretty sorry guy.
You know you have hit an all time low when youhave to pretend to be someone else.
You know you have lowered yourself to SCUM level when you have to pretend to be someone else.

What the little boy needs is a good @$$ whoopin.
and no I am not threatening him.

In his case what I mean is a good spanking.

Someone should call his parents.
And if they were decent parents who actually cared for him.....they would put a belt to his @$$.

And if they were scum parents just like their kid.....and if they don't care about him.
Then they will do nothing.
 
So Chris, you don't know a Pat Kane. Why is he sharing an address with you. I wasn't surprised when the frogs didn't show up and I am sure glad I didn't send the money. Once again for you to compare:

Chris Zorra
313 Taunton Avenue
East Providence, RI, 02914

and

KANE ZOOLOGICAL, INC.
313 Taunton Avenue
East Providence, Rhode Island 02914
Phone: 401.490.2116
Fax: 401.490.2115
Mobile: 401.230.0094

Pat Kane / President

If Chris and Pat are not the same individual they are sharing the same address and I find that pretty convincing.

Steve Schindler
 
I am one of those people who he was "supposedly" recieving reptiles a few days ago that he was going to have us post to vouch for him. After reading all this i realized that i have been taken for a ride. The same story roommate/works for ups. He had me send payment express mail (i used his ups acc#) supposedly he went on vacation to canada last thursday and will be back in 10 days. He sent me an email on thursday saying that my reptiles were on their way with no tracking number. Kane inc. all numbers are disconnected accept cell try that.
 
thats bullsh*t

That is such bull. I told him i wouldnt be able to pay the money for my animals until monday so he said that he was going on vacation until tuesday anyways...he emailed me saturday. I dont know what the hell is up with this guy. Pat Kane or Chris Zorra needs to have his ass kicked majorly. He told me my animals will be here tuesday that hed ship monday so we will see. Good thing im paying him after i get the animals...looks like iwont be paying him.
 
If Chris is Pat...

couldn't we email a complaint to his ISP ( I believe it is peoplepc) and see if we can't get his internet service disconnected? The way to do that would be for those of us who have been contacted by Chris to email [email protected] and ask them to terminate his service because he is using a false identity (and yahoo account) to rip people off. I am going to try it, I will let you know how it works out. I had to do the same thing when some knucklehead bought something from me on ebay. He got pissed when I couldn't take his credit card payment & wrote 2 very obscene emails...USING HIS WORK EMAIL. I forwarded the emails to his boss & the ISP. I got 3 apologies from the president of the company he used to work for (He also got fired!) I know that website Pat has cost him money to keep!


Ro Hill
 
Lets do this!

OK i had an email from "Chris Zorra" also. So i have him saying he will ship snakes tuesday like tomorrow and lemme pay him after i get them. If this turns out to be a lie we should bust him.
 
Perhaps one of the mods could change the title of this thread to match the new information presented?

Something along the lines of "Chris Zorra = Pat Kane" and then I believe a link should probably be tacked on here to Pat's other threads and vise versa.

Wouldn't want information like this to be missed by someone only checking post titles.
