    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.

    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....

Doug Boyd From Portland Orgeon RIP OFF!!!

I ordered 2 RWPA from this guy. He was selling them for $150 a pair of subadults 1.1 . He said he had breed them and they were healthy growing fast and eating him out of the house. Anyways I got the package the other day and there are 2 patternless leos in there half dead. They were about 4 months old I would guess and were so skinny I could see their ribs. They were not packed good at all and had no cool pack. After emailing this guy about 20 times I got a response. He said he had bought them from someone that said they were RainWater Patternless Albinos. He said he would try and get ahold of the guy to make it right. He said he had gotten the eggs from the guy so thats what he meant by breeding them himself LOL. I told him to just give me a refund and he said he would. He told me he was out of his old house that day and he had just got a new apartment. I emailed him the next day like he said to and his email is gone. He cancled his account and his old address he has moved from if he ever lived there at all. Anyways I just gave the leos to a reptile shop by me as I dont have the time to give them the TLC they need. Just wanted to let people know he is a RIP OFF. His ad was in my local Recycler online so I thought that was kind of wierd. I should have gone with my instinks on this and passed on them. The pics he emailed me are not the leos I got. I am almost possitive I have seen them somewhere before but I am not sure where. Here are the pics he sent me. DEAD BEAT DOUG BOYD RIP OFF!!!!!!!

Hm, that sucks. I think that picture belongs to Jeremy Letkey... but I'm not 100%-- but you're right, it does look familiar.

Good luck.

I was just looking at Letkeys Leos and you are right they were stolen from his site. I knew I had seen them somewhere. I stopped by the shop where I left the leos and they have improved alot. Its incredible how much of a change has occured. They said that the leos had some parasite but they were treating them. Im glad they are getting the care they deserve.
 
I would like to make it a point to say that I have not dealt with Doug Boyd in any way, shape or form. I am glad that my pictures were recognized as that is my picture. The picture is STOLEN. Time to start watermarking every single photo from here on out. Aaron, sorry about your dealings with this theif. If you would email me or post any info you have on this guy( even the old info) I would appreciate it very much.
 
geeze!!!!

Well, since "geckokreeper" is really Rich Lincoln, Aaron Duarte, Mitch Garlaw, Mitch Garlow, and who knows what other names he goes by... I sure hope the 2 rainwaters he got cheated out of by Doug Boyd (if there is such a guy) where Jeremy Letkey's photo was stolen, weren't the same geckos he sold to Ashley on the "The scammer Rich Lincoln Bad Guy" thread and ripped her off for...
 
Well, I have had dealings with this Aaron Duarte. He contacted me about my, can you believe it PATTERNLESS RW ALBINOS!
He wanted to trade for a crested or other geckos. I asked some questions and Can you BELIEVE this never heard from him again. I also sent an email to Nathan Hall alerting him that this kid was useing his business name. Now I'm not surprised at all. Here is the email between Arron and myself.

Aaron, I am considering a trade for the Crested. Can you tell me where you aquired it from? If you hatched it yourself could I see pics of the parents? If you wish to call me my name is Jeremy Letkey and my # is 847-838-1521. If you wish I could call you if you provide a #. I have a phone plan that does not charge me long distance. Iam also curious if you have a presence on Fauna or Kingsnake, maybe a username I could reference. Mine is Jeremy Letkey on fauna and Jeremy L. on kingsnake. I have never traded animals with anyone before only bought and sold through the internet. I am just trying to do some research to see who I am dealing with.

Thanks and regards, Jeremy Letkey

I will post all the info I have on him. I am going to go through all of my old emails and post everything I have. I know his email was [email protected]. I dont think I erased his emails but I am going to go check. If I did I know I wrote his address down somwhere. Last I tryed his email account was canceled or changed. It just kept sending them back to me.
 
I am not going to argue about this. I am not Mitch but I do know him. I am his roommate and we live in the same house. I guess he claimes my other roomate and I took his leos. We took nothing from him. We did have a party and some of his stuff was missing but it was not us. I had Rich cash the MO for me because I lost my id and have to wait upto 6 weeks to get it back. As for Ashley her and I have talked and she agrees that she came to the BOI before she should have. Although I completly understand why she did. I told her try not to take away bad thoughts from buying from new people to the hobby. As everyone was new at sometime. I told her I am not a theif and I would be the scum of the earth to stel from anyone let alone a kid. She is getting a nice pair of Albinos along with a free leos. She is going to inform everyone of there condition and retract her statement. Like I told her, does anyone think I would want to give away another free leo? I have 3 other people that have been waiting also. So I am also going to give them an extra one as well. I have to compensate them for the delay. I could just send them the leos they paid for and say sorry they were late but here is what you paid for. I am going to compensate them for the delay. The crested was sold a while back. Mitch sold me his remaining stock of leos and I have attained alot more from some other people. I have leos from GCS, Albeys and believe it or not I bought a leo that came from Golden Gate Geckos. I know my ethics were all wrong like Knobtail said when he posted. I did however keep them all informed on what was going on. I just cashed the MO a few days ago. Anyways the leos she is getting are in perfect health as are all of my leos. I just have to start to put my bussiness aside and take care of it on my own time and take care of the customers first. Hope this clears a few things up for everyone. Ill post Doug Boyds info as soon as I can.
 
gimme a break!!!!

... believe it or not I bought a leo that came from Golden Gate Geckos.
I have NEVER sold a gecko to you or anyone from your address at 1060 N. Dodsworth Ave. in Covina, CA 91724

I live in Glendora,San Dimas and my parents live in West Covina not Covina. I also go to school in Azusa so I know his area good. I could go to this jokers house if i wanted as its pretty close.
Well, well, well, Mr. Duarte. In the thread I posted about Mitch Garlow, you made this response (among others) that you didn't even know Mitch Garlow. Now you are telling us you are roommates???

As for Ashley her and I have talked and she agrees that she came to the BOI before she should have.
I thought the person Ashley was doing business with was Rich Lincoln? So, how is it you have spoken with her in regard to the post she made on this forum?

It doesn't take a rocket scientist for folks here on the BOI to do a search under the name of Mitch Garlaw to come up with the number of threads involving this scammer. All I can do is state my opinion. Mitch Garlow, Mitch Garlaw, Aaron Duarte, and Rich Lincoln, geckokreeper, and geckos_unlimited (not Nathan Hall's GECKOS UNLIMITED) are THE SAME PERSON, and Doug Boyd is most likely just another of the ficticious multiple personalities Mitch seems to have running around inside his drug-damaged brain. He has told so many lies, and has been involved in so many potential scams, he can't even keep his screen names straight, much less his stories!

WHAT IS IT GOING TO TAKE TO GET THIS PARASITE ERADICATED?
 
I didnt want to get a bad rep. because Mitch was my roommate. I wont argue with you about this. But Rich, Mitch, and myself all live together. If all 3 of us where the same person how would we cash a check or MO? Whatever you have against Mitch keep it towards him. I think things happen to people for a reason. So eveything that has happend to you , you most likely deserved. This goes for myself and just about everyone out there its called CARMA. The geckos that came from you were not sold to me by you I attained them from someone else that claimed they were from Golden Gate Geckos. Bottomline is I am not going to turn this into a giant thread of arguing and all that. I plan for it to end as soon as Ashley gets her leos and tells everyone how happy she is with them. Even if they were late I have compensated her for the delay. So take up your pesonal issues with Mitch you should know his email. I also want to clear up that the reason that the MO was sent to Rich is because my id was lost along with my wallet. I have to wait upto 6 weeks to get a new one from the DMV. So I hope this clears up some of the issues anyone has. As for Doug Boyd he is a Bad Guy as he sold dying leos that were not even the morphs they were sold to me as. I dont think I deserved to get cheated but you know the saying stuff happens. It will all come back on him sometime its CARMA. Anyways look for Ashley to post the results of what the outcome is. I still have to find Doug Boyds address and Ill post it as soon as I find it.
 
ROFLMAO!!!!
