Inquiry dan scolaro??? bad guy??

Ronald, I do not see him defending Dan. Read it again especially the following...

"Dan without question should have taken a real breather before responding the way he did.. Under those circumstances he already knew that he was not going to have a sale, so his only course of action like that of a 3 year old is to lash out. He also could have handled it more maturely and possibly offering some other options which could have ameliorated the situation, but he chose not to and the results are what we are dealing with now... Poor judgement and maybe Dan may have regretted his actions.. We will never know"


You can be sure that if I thought he was, I would be the first to say so. I think that he is offering an intelligent view. Dan is not going to change anytime soon. Sometimes we need to step back, take a deep breath, and finally move on...

You know what? Had this been the first time Dan acted like a :censored:I would agree with you that he needed to take a break before answering but this is Dan. He responds like a maniac all the time, every time. Dan needs to learn more than to take a break before answering, he needs an anger managment class.
 
Well, it could be

indicitive of a serious frustration problem. Children act this way. One always hope that adults have enough reason to allow themselves the opportunity to overcome emotion.. It works for some and as we have witnessed it does not work for others.. No doubt about it, Dan could have done a better job in addressing the situation but he chose to strike out in the only way he knows how .
 
Wow, a lot of comments from folks who never heard the other side of the story.

Is this the BOI? I mean I thought by now that someone here would at least be interested to hear another side of a story before passing judgement? But it would not be the BOI if people were not arrested, had the trial, passed sentense, jailed, and then hung them by the neck before allowing the other party to comment. Moderation? What's that?

I just was told about this thread and don't know what the deal is?

This gal is a fraud and if people cannot read through it, then get that cup of coffee.

She's just some nut linked to some scammer who is still angry they did not get the better of me on some past transaction bogus complaint. If not, who cares anyway. My frogs deserve better is all. If she wacks out on bogus BS, then how is she going to behave with 5 frogs? Hum?

Some lady asks me about frogs and then tells me she misintrepreted some garbage on this forum and pretended to wig out so I told her she was an idiot and I prefer to not send my great animals to idiots. My right to do so and I turn down other customers if they tell me they have no experience with the particular herp - especially venomous and delicate frogs.

Lets gather the BOI garbage: Some kid chokes his skink on pinks, and is offered another and refuses. Another idiot burns his viper boas on a heat pad and refuses two more at 12 bucks each. And some other idiot posts a report on a sick snake that was not linked to the one I shipped. A joke is all at best compared to the thousands of great transactions I have had with wonderful customers. Lets see some other company produce those stats of his/her sales and service? 99.999999999999999999999999999 great sales record and 4-5 boobs who tried to scam me and failed is all.

So if some boob wants to read anything otherwise into the matters and cannot decider the garbage, then I dub them an idiot and won't sell to idiots is all.

Personally, I think the lady is some friend of some other idiot who tried to scam for more than the terms of purchase agreement that was not happy he/she could not take advantage of the buy. Like it was clearly viewed, she has no call to react that way and then come here with a bogus complaint and her motive is suspect. And if it smells fishy, then its a fish.

Regardless, business is great and I am waiting yet for that legitimate complaint that will never happen.
 
I forgot that the thread starter left out several additional emails between her and myself including ones where I sent her photos of a nice pair of frogs and other correspondence. Since she submitted her report and intentionally left out several nice correspondence between us, her complaint and the rest of her sob story is SUSPECT.

As you know, I could care less about that lady being valid as I am convinced she is in deep turds with some other fraud who tried to scam me before.

Regardless, I want to know how or why ANYONE could read 2 emails and assume or believe that was all of the transactions we had and then rush to judgement? I see this all the time on this BOI and I don't understand how anyone can feel confident to comment on any thread/posting and such without having all of the evidence in front of them including phone conversations afterward written out? And even if the person on the other end is wrong. I mean they burned witches in the old days and is this just another witch hunt forum? What gives with the crap here? This forum has no professional credit with any company or any legitimate dealer.

I don't know but this forum needs some better organization if anyone is to ever get to the meat of any sob story. Is there anyone here who is responsible to ensure that all of the information is present?

I mean on other threads about me, Serpentboy was discovered going to his local library and making nasty posts under another name and no one here figured it out or checked? Another posts starts by some child about a skink he killed who says his father started the thread and lies and the thread is allowed to continue? Someone else posts under some Mamba-king name and makes a long and drawn out BS story trying to defame me and it's tracked to the desk of the competition? Another moron is allowed to post a health report and say it was on a snake I shipped but there is no evidence the report was confirmed to be linked to a snake I shipped.

What credit does this forum have when garbage is allow to be posted and no one is held accountable for a complete investigation of the facts.

Capitol BOGUS is what I call it all.
 
Rule #186 from "Scumbagging for Dummies": when all else fails, make up a conspiracy theory to try and place the blame on the buyer.....
We have seen it before Dan. It doesnt fly.....
 
Well, here we go again....Despite my earlier post, I, like Jerry, feel that this is an unnecessary thread. It seems that if the OP did indeed come to her decision by reading up on Dan here on the BOI, she should have expected the type of response she got, and due to that, one could argue that there was some minor baiting going on here.

That said, Dan could have come here and simply stated that the OP was trying to bait him or elicit a response due to a past experience. Most here would be content to let this thread drop to the bottom, as there was no real wrongdoing other than rudeness. Alas, because of the nature of Dan's posts, we're probably all here for a long ride of another Dan Scolaro thread clogging up the first page of the BOI.

FYI - As everyone starts looking at Dan's response to this thread and is tempted to pick out and quote every little inflammatory, arrogant, or snide comment, please consider just letting this one drop. There is plenty for people to look at when searching his name or that of DTS Herps.

OK, Dan....have at it!

well they are 25 each in any quantity up to a dozen and then go down from there. Unfortunately I only am presented with a discount when I get 24 or more. I have a live arrival guarantee when delivered on time with express delivery service. I need to check your zip code also so please send it. As it would be, it is 125 for 2.3 the frogs and I need to see how much for shipping but it should be 30 unless you reside in a remote location.

Kristy: They are captive born and raised at the breeders facility and I do not believe he medicates them for any parasites or at least I never saw any with sicknesses requiring medication. I get a large group of say 2-4 dozen every few months and feed them and never had any issues with them as far as sickness goes. I can send photos but am headed out of town tonight for a couple of days travel and will be back Monday night. Upon receipt of the specimens you can examine them closely and see that they will be well fed and great frogs as I won't box and send anything that is not great.

Kristy:

I get them from a breeder who raises dozens of them up in large cages so I do not think he can inform with any 100 percent sureness as to which female is proven as I cannot ask him to nab a female once he views her unloading eggs if indeed he can witness that. However the case, I can send a large female and male that increases the odds.

i did not read the ton of boi inquiries as i read some and got a headache from reading so much. i madw my decision based on those BOI threads. i was not BAITING him lol, just respectfully telling him why i chose to back out. I would want the same. i didnt expect a response. he could have easily said something along the lines of "ok, thanks anyways" try to explain posts that were made on the boi to me if he wanted, or disregard anyhow. If someone was planning on buying frogs from myself, i would aprreciate the respect to atleast know, and know why the customer was backing out.

now that i read it, also alarms me that his live arrival guarantee is ONLY IF THE CARRIER MAKES IT ON TIME? :shrug01: i see no need for him to have been disrespectful. maybe i did post this inquiry inappropriately, i am not sure, as i am new to the BOI:eek:, but i can sense a need for better business communication skills here. :rolleyes:
 
Ah, you are full of wind and are just looking for someone to vent to as your doll stopped talking back. How old are you anyway? There is a age limit for you to post here.

Read what you want, but I've never had a single legitimate complaint and never had a single report of a sick reptile/amphibian arriving. So if you are idiotic enough to not be able to read through the garbage vomited by scammers who tried to rob me, then who wants you as a customer?

And if you do not like my compainies terms, you can always do what others do and move onto the next fellow. But since my guarantee is the best in the business - a 2 week health guarantee on captive born reptiles/amphibians, I suggest you will look high and low and do not think you will find anyone else who guarantees that with amphibians. Most do not even guarantee live arrival with amphibians.

And no offense, but my time is valuable and if you waste my time to take individual photos of frogs and then waste my time to download and email them, and then tell me you read nonsense that changed your mind, then I crown you a boob and you can take your business elsewhere as I have good customers with common sense to deal with over and over.

Your blither is nonsense anyway. Either prove any instance where I did not offer any scammer something BEYOND and ABOVE the terms of sale and you win 500 red eye tree frogs. Let's see you do it? You cannot do it because it never happened. I had a few thieves try to scam for more than the terms of sale and I offered fine compensation, and they threatened and harassed and got the boot. I rather enjoy giving the boot to thieves and scammers and the wackos here who can plainly see I made a good offer but they want blood because I proved them idiots time and time again over the last several years. Look at those morons who post against me and you will see they are the same dozen or so coin carrying idiots I proved to be morons many years ago when they attacked others and myself for no good reason. They have no lives and are afraid of the mirror. One was proven wrong so often, he even wears a red dress now in a mental facility.

Personally, I think you are a fraud and have no reason to even make this post. I think you are in a scam with some thief that tried to rob me before and failed.
 
lol. age? you make yourself look worse. wow. and yes there are people in the herp industry i can state that do give live arrival guarantees regardless of "carrier errors" and a THREE WEEK guarantee of health! this is besides the point of my post. Me being in with someone else? lol. my own husband didnt even know i was planning on this for my sons birthday! let alone anyone else! sorry i'll pass on your 500 RETF's what a joke. in fact you sound like you have issues, everyone is an idiot/scammer/moron etc. besides you????? paranoid dan? i know no one from here or anywhere that has ever dealt with you to my knowlege. all i can say is yes this thread can be closed if others so deem it necessary besides dan. kristy
 
Sorry fraud, you just cannot duck and run from accountability without a good swift kick in your butt.

First you tell me you want to breed frogs and now you say it was a gift for your son? Hum? Wanna bet you don't work and sit at home watching Judge Judy all day? How old is your son if you are a teenager yourself?

Well you blithered some garbage about being deterred from a buy because of something you read. I asked you to produce what you read that deterred you and any instance where I did not go above and beyond the terms of sale to satisfy an incident, and you could not do it and now ask to walk away with your head down.

The structure of your email and the organization is further evidence that you are in collaboration with someone who was deemed an idiot before. If you are who you say you are, then fax a copy of your identification to a moderator for verification. I don't believe you are just some lady interested in a frog and decided to start a thread here while taking care of a child. And others here already figured you have no motivation to start this thread. You are a fraud is all.

So fraud, you chickened out at an opportunity to get 500 free red eye tree frogs as did the other boobs who turned down bets to prove me wrong.

Either provide evidence which suggests I did not make good on a deal and produce your identification, or you just another looser proven wrong.
 
lol my son and i would like to breed them. he happens to be fascinated when my darts morph out into froglets which i am very careful and do not allow him to be involved in their care as much as he could with some other not so advanced frogs hardier frogs....proper care and husbandry being of utmost importance to me. do your own check, look up your own name, wait you already know all the bad feedback on this baoard about yoursself. i found my reputable source now. doesnt advertise on kingsnake( not that it is always bad) and has many referneces and anything said on this breeder has been positive. they are for his birthday. you are really immature. i am a full-time vet student, mother of four, model on the side, have a financially secure husband, anything else about my personal life i need to expose yto you? lol and i have a rather large collection of poison dart frogs that i breed soley for conservation and a hobby for a small time hobbiest with excelllent bloodline info etc.. I am done with this thread. bet? i am not going to waste my time betting with you. childish.i have plenty of good vendor feedback on other forums. dont tell me what to do. excuse me??? grow up. everyone is wrong dan except for you. i am just happy i didnt buy. end of subject. good luck with your business skills, communication to potential customers, and good luck with your obvious issues dan. good bye now. kristy

p.s i would look into some mental health medication and anger control management classes. seriously, you need it.
 
What anger? I am too old to get angry. I rather get a good laugh at it all.

What bad feedback? Oh, the kid who choked his skink with pinkies and the other fellow who burned his viper boas? How do you see that as my fault or are you warped into thinking my repeated demands to him to not force feed the skink fatty pinkies was ill advised? Do you believe that a snail eating skink deserves a pink rammed down its throat? Poor thing deserved to be in the hands of someone experienced with such matters.

Thanks, but I don't need luck with sales. I just finished packing a $7000 order of around 300 reptiles and am bound for the airport today. Run 60 or more ads daily and I bet you will find it challenging to even keep up with the business.

And since you are a model on the side, how about sharing a photo.

I promise not to laugh.
 
Oh, I recall the bad feedback now.

The bad feedback thread where I spent my own money on shipping to send a fellow who I met over one phone conversation a free patternless emerald tree boa because I felt sorry for him and begged him not to pay me and he did anyway. He was so happy, he ordered more. I recall that incident. I was bad boy for doing that.

Or was it the time when the fellow received the strangled boa and I gave him his money back the same day and an additional 25 dollars for customer satisfaction? Was that me being bad? I deserve a spanking for that.

Yea, now I can see how my reports of kindness would deter you from buying frogs from me that come with a two-week health guarantee. Heck, had you spoke to me over the phone, I might of been nice enough to throw in a free frog like I do all the time.

I hope you find someone else with such a guarantee and good frogs but doubt it.

I got a dime to bet that you will be back here complaining about someone else's frogs with rubbed noses, red-leg, eye issues, etc and no live arrival guarantee and an overall sad deal.

You're a piece of work, Dan. I realize that you're not the brightest bulb in the box, but can't you see how stupid you look posting these quoted items within two consecutive posts? You're responsible for more garbage posting than anyone I can think of offhand (and that's not limited to your unhealthy obsession and constant baiting of Kimmel). Who do think should be investigating the facts in every incident brought to the BOI? Are you going to fund that? Investigating only your obfuscation, misdirection, and ridiculous claims would be a full-time job for somebody.

Why do you even bother defending yourself here? Your name's in the toilet here, and every post you make is just another piece of duct tape securing the lid down.
 
Roy:

Defend what? I never had any real issue to defend. I've never had a legitimate complaint in thousands of sales. If I did, I would be the first to admit it.

Do you sell reptiles? Who wants a customer who would slighted by the garbage you are your friends spew? I say keep it as a pet and sell it to someone with common sense. The next great customer always happens along eventually.

Your misdirection and conjecture is the typical garbage. Bring up something fresh. You and your idiotic friends have never proven that I did not go beyond the terms of sale to satisfy a mere few issues with scammers who tried to rob and take advantage of the deal before they even started with threats to post their sob and garbage stories on the BOI. 4-5 issues in thousands of transactions. Do you have those stats or just buy and sell a gecko once a year and spend half your life blithering at someone else who had a frog arrive with a pimple on its back? The scammers lost and you and your friends lost. And you know I could care less what you say as its all humor. You've never bought any animal from me and don't even know me. However the case, I will disregard that fact and send you a short red dress also and some stockings if you promise to don them and post a photo. Why not be a man and apologize for all your snide and idiotic remarks over the times? Do I smell chicken?

And you should know by now nothing you or your goof-ball friends say or do will ever prevent anyone in the business from progressing.

You signed up to mock others and need to look at yourself and your frustration is your actualization/realization that you've been wasting your breath all these years as your wind as been for nil.

Bait who? Who is Kimel?
 
Dan, you are fishing for sharks in a gold fish pond. You have nothing to prove here, we all know you are a scumbag. You missed out on a sale, so your response was to insult a possible customer, good job Dan, real way to be an honorable person in the reptile industry. You a shinning beacon in the dark.
 
Roy:

For a guy who has nothing to defend, you're awfully defensive.

Do you sell reptiles? Who wants a customer who would slighted by the garbage you are your friends spew? I say keep it as a pet and sell it to someone with common sense. The next great customer always happens along eventually.
I sell very few reptiles. There have been a few instances where an animal I sold didn't thrive in the care of its new owner, and I took care of the situations beyond the satisfaction of the purchaser. In a couple of these instances, I knew that the purchaser hadn't taken my advice on some husbandry issues, and I really didn't owe them anything, but I took care of them anyway. I certainly didn't make up all sorts of nasty accusations against them and treat them like dirt. That's your M.O..

Your misdirection and conjecture is the typical garbage. Bring up something fresh.
Give me some examples of my misdirection and conjecture. You're full of excrement, and you know it.

You and your idiotic friends have never proven that I did not go beyond the terms of sale to satisfy a mere few issues with scammers who tried to rob and take advantage of the deal before they even started with threats to post their sob and garbage stories on the BOI. 4-5 issues in thousands of transactions.

Blah, Blah, Blah. Same old crap from you, Dan. I don't really have friends here, Dan. I have some associates, and some of them hold the same view of you that I do. Heck, I think EVERYONE here thinks of you in the same terms that I do. And I don't think we're all wrong. You may have a large number of transactions that went right, and I applaud you for that. It's the way you've handled the transactions that have gone wrong that bothers me. That's when you start spewing your worst garbage. You'll have to forgive me if I don't take your word for it that all of your dissatisfied customers are scammers.

And you know I could care less what you say as its all humor. You've never bought any animal from me and don't even know me. However the case, I will disregard that fact and send you a short red dress also and some stockings if you promise to don them and post a photo.
It's all humor? Your lame, tired, oft-repeated red-dress fantasies aren't funny. They're disturbing. I'm guessing that you type out those fantasies with only one hand, if you catch my drift, Danno.

Why not be a man and apologize for all your snide and idiotic remarks over the times? Do I smell chicken?
Yeah, I'm terrified of you, Dan. I'm chicken. What does that even mean? Are you challenging me to a duel or a fight in the real world somewhere? Or do you think I'm scared of your pre-school wit in these electronic exchanges? I don't get you, Dan. :shrug01:

And you should know by now nothing you or your goof-ball friends say or do will ever prevent anyone in the business from progressing.
I don't really care if you're successful, Dan. You can become the biggest guy in herps and it won't affect me in the least. I won't even be disappointed. Based on your insane and juvenile posts here, I wouldn't buy from you. And I'd never recommend you to anyone. But I'm not a "player" in the herp industry, so this shouldn't affect you in any way. Your own behavior is the only thing that affects you on this forum.

You signed up to mock others and need to look at yourself and your frustration is your actualization/realization that you've been wasting your breath all these years as your wind as been for nil.
You really are a nutjob. You know nothing about me. I like it that way.

Bait who? Who is Kimel?
I think you know who I was talking about. Denial isn't just a river in Egypt, Dan. Remember? He's the main guy upon whom you've projected your creepy red-dress fantasies. You even posted a pic from your personal 'dudes in red dresses' archive and tried to pretend it was him. You're a naughty boy, Danny. :ack2:
 
Dean, Mike, how dare you attempt to impune the sterling reputation of Dan Scolaro?

He has NEVER NEVER NEVERr had a legitimate complaint made against him.

He will NEVER NEVER NEVER have a legitimate complaint made against him.

In fact, even when he HAS had a legitimate complaint made against him he STILL hasn't had a legitimate complaint made against him

In the future, should a legitimate complaint be made against him he will STILL never have had a legitimate complaint made against him.

It's called megalomania guys. In lay terms, a God Complex. He is perfect in all ways and if anyone disagrees they are either an idiot or a scammer. The most disturbing thing about him (Red Dress Fantasies Aside) is his complete and utter inability to even entertain the idea that he might be in the wrong. It's actually kind of sad.

You might as well stop trying guys. You will never pin anything on old Danny. No matter how many people start threads here it won't matter. In his deluded little world he will always be perfect.
 
You will never see me giving any of my money to Dan Scolaro.

I'm glad the OP did start this thread; I think she was justified; and I've learned too much about Dan Scolaro to ever do business with him.
