    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.....

    Addendum: 01/10/2026
    =====================


    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....

Crazy Cresties - Wendy Childs - Ali Haines- BAD GUYS!!!!!!!!

Jeanne I don't think you need to defend yourself anymore. It is interesting how the spin doctor has tried to make you out as the villian. This is one of those situations where it is pretty clear and cut. You are dealing with people who are shady at this point to say the least. They are defended by those who believe rational thinking is an option. I think it is fair to say that your warning will be heeded and those that question you really don't matter in the long run anyways. You were lied to and sold a misrepresented gecko unfortunately you may have to eat some of the cost but hopefully it will open your eyes a little wider next time you deal with someone of not so stellar reputation. Your reputation is very good. Might I recommend trying the ignore button.

:iagree:

Don't let Jim get you down. There are way too many questions unanswered on the part of this shady outfit. I am not so fast to buy swamp land, the whole Ali thing looks like just another ploy to scam, JMHO.

That would make a whole lot more sense to me, than what we are being asked to swallow.

BTW, anyone want to buy Top Shelf Exotics, or Ray's Reptila? You could help pay their debts after you take over ownership. :rolleyes:

Jeanne,
Seems this cup is forever destined to be about 28.18% empty, and not 71.82% full.


Jim, when are you going to realize the reptile world is tired of scammers?

It is not Jeanne that is the bad guy here. She paid good money in good faith and got took. This is plain and simple, anything else would be a lie.

Then you have Ali, she took over this scam/business (since It is not a registered business). I will call it what it was, a scam. She took over this scam, why? Seems we are slow to give a answer on this one. Nope, it don't make one lick of sense. :shrug01:

Way too many questions on this well known scam. Looks to me like the same old story, more deception from the Childs. IMO, it does not weight up, nope not even close. :NoNo:
 
There is still no proof that I am aware of that there even IS any such person as ali.

I'd like to see some sort of proof that this person exists before I go arguing any point with a name on the interenet any further.

As I've said from the very beginning, I think it's wendy, jeane her mother, jason her whatever he is or a combination of the three of them. I don't think there's any "ali" at all.

It's funny, because I asked Ali to send me her phone # so I could talk to her about this, she ignored that request.

Valid point Wes!! :iagree:

That would answer a few questions!!
 
shrap said:
One aspect that seems to be getting overlooked is that there still seems to be some confusion on exactly what Ali's role is here. Did she buy out Wendy? Are they partners? Is she just managing the business until Wendy comes back? Ali has claimed all 3 at one time or another if I am not mistaken...... or is Ali even real or just an alias to try and hide from the past?

I think all of that needs completely clarified. Then we can move on to whether or not she did her best to resolve this.

Great point Wes!!! One that I have brought up a couple of times now.

Maybe if we keep harping on it then it won't get buried by nonsense so quickly every time it is brought up.
 
Thing is, as usual, Chamco is the only one here speaking for the Spokane crew and he picks and chooses what he will or will not address. If it is a valid point; he ignores it, if it is something he can twist and spin he hops all over it....
 
Mr. Bobby Pruett says:
Jim, when are you going to realize the reptile world is tired of scammers?

Once again Bobby, in your brilliance, I need to "realize" what you already know ? Bobby, maybe I will realize it when I see that someone can sell bearded dragons with phoney traits for big $, "trademark" and all, and the reptile world decides to "realize" that person is a scammer, and always will be a scammer, pinstripes and all. I guess I need to work towards that mindset, huh ? Thankfully, a few others here, like me and equally less brilliant than you, are awash in our own stupidity, so I have company, and to no surprise, they are not of the snipe species, eh Mr. Mounts ? We will just never learn. Seems my edjumication was all for naught ........ bummer :shrug01:

Nice try attempting to again deflect what is really going on by trying to turn this around on Varnyard. Of course you totally blew it by confusing Bobby with someone else and trying to tie him to the questionable acts of Bobby Pruett. I agree it does seem your "edjumication was all for naught". You should see if the college will offer you a refund, assuming they don't try to hide behind some silly TOS that protects them from students attending but not actually retaining anything they were taught.....
 
Jim F ,, you keep going on as if Ali owned this business but by her own words she is just minding the store till Wendy gets back.
You've been asked this before and never really answered it. Why do you keep defending these people?? Are you a business partner? or? why else would do the damage you have to your reputation in defending Wendy and company??

Now most know how I dislike people coming here and Speaking for others so why is it you are speaking for Wendy and Company?? I know Ali has trouble with setting up her own account here but I do believe she has posted here in the past so why are you talking for her??? Do us all a favor and shut up and let people speak for themselves!! Every time you post in these ladies name, defense whatever you want to call it you make yourself look bad and those you speak for even worse as they should be here their selves..Randy
 
As for your mistake with the name Bobby, maybe you should ask yourself why you are working towards that mindset!! IE ""I guess I need to work towards that mindset, huh ?"" You need to take a really really really long long break from this Jim, you've gone beyond losing it to lost it..Randy
 
Ali has not been upfront with the customer. You do not renegotiate after the fact as Jim would like us to believe is the normal course of business.

Since this business has had so many incarnations and scammed so many people, why would ANYONE want to do business with Ali when she uses someone else accounts, changes her mind about reimbursing shipping when she promised to pay it (and never let the customer know she changed her mind), offers different versions of her relationship to this business, and does not even post a single word in her defense?

No matter how nice Ali may be, she has destroyed any credibility as a seller.

It appears that it's business as usual at Crazy Cresties with the exception of a new owner/manager/lacky/scammer/whatever at the helm.

"During the SWAT team raid on her Spokane home (attentive readers may note that this is her second encounter with the boys in black flak jackets - and in two separate states!), police found a closed-circuit security camera aimed at the front welcome mat. Next to the door was a loaded rifle, and scattered throughout the house were stolen credit cards, checks and still more guns and ammo. She did the perp walk for the cameras and was taken to Spokane County Jail on charges of forgery and possession of a firearm by a felon." (excerpt from above link, March 2005)

LMAO...well, that might explain why FedX, UPS, USPS...any delivery person might just toss a box on the welcome mat and run! Sounds like Jeane and Wendy were quite the welcome party!

If she weren't so arrogant, self-centered, utterly ignorant, dishonest, totally void of character and dumb as a rock ("Some of the IDs were meticulously altered, while others were done in the most half-assed manner possible. ... she had habitually misspelled the word 'license.' "), she might almost be pitiful ... nah!

And Jeane Best, US government employee. Innocent by-stander, oblivious to and unaccountable for everything criminal and unethical going on under her roof? Used and duped by her poor misunderstood daughter? Honest and upstanding bearded dragon breeder/seller? HA! Laughable, at Best.

Thanks Erik
 
I especially like this part.
"Wendy will absolutely use anyone to her advantage. Anyone. And you can catch her in the act, doing something she shouldn't be doing, and she can convince you not that she's innocent, but that it's your fault she was doing it.
Hmm. I wonder who else would try to make the innocent person appear to be at fault for something?

Lets see, we have Wes, he is a good guy that you do not like. But, you attack him every chance you get.

Then we have the Childs, proven scammers. But you defend them like they are lost sheep on the way to slaughter.

Yes Jim, I see your brilliance. :rolleyes:

Then to call me a known scammer (Bobby Pruitt) as well as stupid. My advice to you would be to travel to you mirror, you might see the one you speak of. :thumbsup:
