    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site.

Bad Guy DTS Herps-buyer beware!!!

Juan:

My official stance is that you are a crook and thief and ought to be locked away in a jail some place. You have proven to mislead the readers with false statments and lies and the evidence proved you wrong ten times over so I don't even bother to read half of your winded statements as you are a criminal and don't deserve my full attention.

Dan I am merely trying to establish your side of the story. How am I supposed to do that if you don't tell me whether the statement from my previous post is correct or not


now I have answered all your post in a polite and respectful manner all I ask is that you extend that same courtesy to me for just the previous post. I know you're riled up because you have these people attacking you but please focus and provide me with an appropriate answer after all this dispute is mainly between you and.
 
Heather, yes, you are confused. Juan and I spoke and I told him I was out of them and he pried into my sources and asked me to see if the importer would give up his own personal snakes. I called the importer and he said he would. Since Juan pried, he learned the importer lived near him in Texas and Juan persuaded me to allow the importer to send him the snakes so Juan would avoid two shipping expenses and reduce the stress on his snakes. I said OK and that was a big mistake. He got them and said they were unsat and I said returned them and he refused and kept 3 of them for months as far as I know and I believe he still has them. I never even saw a photo of the dead one so perhaps he has all 4 and is having fun making up stories.

I mean he frauded his government with a bogus report of non-receipt of goods, so lied there. Who's to trust anything he says.

Nice try Dan but here's the email where you personally tell me you have animals available and how many

Hi here's the payment we agreed on for the two pairs of snakes plus shipping. Also if you could please ship these animals on a Monday I would really appreciate it. I'm actually out of town for work right now but my roommate's home and his days off of work are Mondays and Tuesdays. So shipping them on a Monday would insure there'll be someone home to receive them. Thanks

Once again you are caught in a lie. As for the assertion that I asked you to contact a third party you have yet to provide any kind of evidence to back it up.
 
Never has a legit complaint, but yet seems to refund money ALL the time!

If you want extra cash from a deal, Buy from dan scolaro! He will PAY YOU to buy his snakes! or were they Justyns....?
 
Dan let me ask you this. How come if what you say is true and your arguments are that great and prove you right beyond a reasonable doubt not a single member has come forward to your defense? every single person has sided with me. As of right now this thread has been viewed almost 2000 times and not a single person has thought that your argument contains merit enough to at the very least post a message giving you the benefit of the doubt. The reason is very clear. anyone who is not delusional such as yourself can clearly see the truth of the matter. Namely that you're a scammer and at least this one time you got what you deserved.

I can almost see your rebuttal to this argument before you even post it. Let me guess everyone on this forum is nuts and your the only sane one right? or perhaps you have some other colorful and unsubstantiated reason. right? Go ahead Dan start your ranting.
 
I don't see anyone siding with you? I see a few of the same old nasties out for retaliation pretending to not know the facts and they kid no one.

And who cares if people side with you? If they are stupid enough to ignore the facts, it only makes them loose worse than they already do.

And those are for the most part the same fools who attacked me before and I proved them all wrong before. Birds of a feather flock together. You are a criminal and they support your criminal tactics, so marry one another for all I care. I think anyone who supports a criminal is just as criminal.

Black and white, no gray. The proof has been presented. You filed a bogus report to extort funds and kept the snakes.

You're nothing more than a thief and liar and could be supported by a flock of Angeles and that won't discount the fact that you refused to send the snakes back and extorted for a refund and came here on drugs to blither some lies and lost. Your own evidence failed you.
 
so you're saying all 2000 viewings are from people who don't like you or don't really care that an innocent person such as yourself is being roasted here slowly and over an open flame. Shameful, don't you think. The truth is you tried to scam me and got what you deserve.

you have been caught lying time and time again throughout this thread. I mean did you not say that you had animals available to customers at the same time you were leading me to believe up until 11/16/08 that you didn't have any?

shameful Dan just shameful.
 
You have yet to prove anything in any thread ... I am still waiting on the day you post some prove and not your ranting ....
 
Proof is provided.

The FEDEX tracking number cannot be forged and it shows the delivery of the shipment.

The BOGUS FBI report is also provided which was submitted indicating non-receipt of goods.

Read the proof idiot and weep.
 
I am not being roasted.

I have provided the evidence which sunk your two page blither down the toliet.

Your own evidence supports my great customer service and many attempts to get my snakes back etc.

Views are great.

Someone viewed this thread and bought a white lip python.

Thanks for the great advertisement.
 
And received an additional 10 orders today. Nothing new really.

Any advertisement is great advertisement. It shows how I extended the guarantee to resolve issues with a thief like yourself. It also deters the criminals from trying scams, so it works best for me and isn't that what's important?

Now what would work best for you is some time alone in a jail cell to contemplate your robbery of my snakes and monies.

Yea, some boneheads will blither no evidence or try to twist the story to your advantage because I proved them an idiiot time and time again, but none have explained why you kept the snakes and refused to send them back and why you filed a bogus complaint of non-receipt of goods when you received the goods. You have yet to explain yourself.

They may blither over your blither but you're peeing on each other.
 
Why not explain yourself?

You stole my snakes.

You submitted a bogus report to the FBI on non-receipt of goods after you received the goods.

You refused to send the snakes back. Received a full refund. And months later come here to blither what?

You only proved to rob me of my snakes and monies.

You were not entitled to compensation for the other 3 snakes once you held them and refused to ship them back.

Give me back my money for them and apologize you crook.
 
Mr. Scolaro,

First of all, my user name is Slim, not Jim. I am also known as MSgt (Ret) Thomas A. Whitman, USAF. Please pay close attention to the bolded portion of your post.

Jim:

Read the facts my friend.

I did not send nor ship anything ever to Juan.

Juan made a special request to have them shipped from the importer to him since he lived close to the importer.

I submit they arrived in sad condition and Juan was informed many times to return the snakes. He refused. I tried a dozen calls to his roommate and never was a call returned.

Juan refused to return the snakes and held them many months.

I still offered replacements or a refund. Juan refused a refund.

He was informed more were arriving and saw me advertising my stock and thought he was being robbed out of replacements, and vice calling or emailing me as to the what or why I was advertising more, he flew off his rocker and filed a bogus complaint of non-receipt of goods with the FBI which was a false and a bogus complaint. See the tracking number my friend and the proof has been provided already.

He kept my snakes, got the refund, and proved you cannot read the facts.

By the way, what gave you any idea I was ever a marine? I never was. So you are wrong about many things my friend. How about doing some homework before opening your loud mouth and making me waste time explaining the facts to you my friend.
Regardless, drop and give me 20 push ups for proving to be a fool. Maybe that will teach you to read before yapping.


Then pay even closer attention to the following

In any case, why do you have a Marine Corps emblem on your post? Are you a Marine? I started my career in 1981 and served as a Corpsman with the 2nd FSSG at Camp Lejeune. After I earned a commission I served as the Administrative Officer of the medical clinic at Parris Island. I miss the military, and I hate to say it, even the Marines.

In case you need to refresh your memory, I took that quote from the following tread:

http://www.faunaclassifieds.com/forums/showthread.php?t=53430&highlight=serpentboy78&page=3

Post #29

So now who's the fool, and who's the lying?

Here's what needs to come out of your pie-hole right now, at this very moment. You need to tell me, and this forum that you lied in that thread back in 2004, and were never in the US Military, in which case you freaking disgust me far beyond anything I can write on this forum....or you need to tell me why you are lying now. Can't have both ways you poser scumbag.

Which is it Dan?
 
Jim:

I got your pie my friend.

And no insult intended, but again, I never said I was in the Marines. I said I served with the Marines.

And since you were in the Air Force, it's perhaps obvious that you are not aware that the Marines do have have corpsman in their corp. The Navy provides their medical coverage.

I joined the Navy as an E-1 and served as a Naval Corpsman and worked hard to achieved a commission as a Naval Officer in the Medical Service Corp and advanced to the rank of Lieutenant Commander (O4), which would be Major in the ranks of the Air Force.

Dan
 
Jim:

And I am quite surprised to see you use such foul language for an air force person.

You call me a poser and scum?

Do you want me to pose with the 5 personal medals I was awarded for specific achievements for my country?

Dan
 
holy effing lord... anyone else disgusted?

I guess you skipped over the evidence of the FEDEX shipment to his home and the fact that he afterward filed a bogus report to the FBI claiming non-receipt of goods.

I did not skip over the FEDEX shipment to his home nor the so called "bogus" ( a word that you are greatly overusing in this thread) FBI report. The fedex arrival does not mean he recieved the goods agreed upon. The fact that he did not recieve the agreed upon goods (does it disgust anyone else that we are refering to live animals as goods) gives him ample reason to file a complaint for non-recieval of goods.

He kept the 3 good snakes and refused to send them back and extorted with a bogus report he sent to the FBI.
In refusal to send the snakes back, he was acting in the best interest of the animals. The fact that, in knowing they were very sick, you insisted on the snakes being sent back astonishes me... and not in a good way! That is a terrible thing to do!

...not to mention that given the condition of the animal and the their rapid deterioration the remaining animals would not have survive another transit especially back to back.
EXACTLY!!!!!:iagree::iagree::iagree::iagree::iagree:

He didn't get the ones you agreed to sell him in your ad...not that you would have known that they weren't Blue Banded, since you never saw them
You hit the nail on the head, Slim. You said in a e-mail that Mr. Gracia has already provided that you already had the snakes in stock. I understand you may have told him later on that the animals were out of stock and so on and so forth, but if you were to properly run your business you would not have agreed to the terms that you say were "demanded."

Do not fraud your government again Juan as they are watching you.

Remember, do not fraud your government again.

How do you know they are watching him? Do you really have FBI in your back pocket? If so, and if they are doing such things on yourt behalf, that may entitle an IA investigation. This, in turn, would come back on you for soliciting unlawful assistance from a government agent...

Actually, Mr. FBI expert, Juan did not recieve what you and he agreed upon. You keep saying that he recieved goods, but if he did not recieve the goods agreed upon when you made the transaction, then there is no fraud on his part, and his report with the FBI was not bogus...a point I'm sure the nice agent made clear when he spoke with you.
Again, nail on the head. Read it, Dan, and absorb it.

If I were to order a Ball Python from you, and you shipped me a baseball bat, you could say that I recieved goods from you, and therefore not be able to make a claim for non-receipt of goods. You could say that, but it would make you look ignorant...wouldn't want to do that, would you Dan?
Slim, you are absolutely correct. Dan, you keep skipping over what goods he received. If I were you, I'd drop this point of argument because it holds no water. He did not recieve the agreed upon goods, therefor your arguing he did is, in fact, what most would consider, a lie.

What fraud ad? I have several blue marine file snakes and always had them here so I can advertise my stock anytime if I want to. The animals are in my possession and if that is a source of your anger, then you should get over it.
You can advertise your stock at any time, so long as you actually have THE STOCK YOU ARE ADVERTISING. Otherwise it is fruad. Didn't you, yourself, say that you didn't have those specific animals in stock when you placed that ad?

Just admit you filed a bogus report with the FBI and robbed me of the snakes and refund and apologize and the truth will set you free.
Implant this factoid probe into your skull, so it can't go anywhere. The report was completely permissable, you willingly gave up the refund, and he has no reason to apologize. Perhaps the truth, oh holy preacher, will set you free.... once you accept it and stop bending it to avoid looking bad.

I submit they arrived in sad condition and Juan was informed many times to return the snakes.
Again, you would had recieved the animals DEAD. You would have been taking a loss at that point. Hell, Juan could even get into trouble with the Department of Agriculture for shipping sick snakes.

...he flew off his rocker and filed a bogus complaint of non-receipt of goods with the FBI which was a false and a bogus complaint. See the tracking number my friend and the proof has been provided already.
The complaint was legitimate. The proof has been provided, and it makes you look bad.

The facts are that Juan did not return the snakes and was issued a full refund because he extorted with a bogus report to the FBI.
extort:::
: to obtain from a person by force, intimidation, or undue or illegal power -----merriam webster dictionary
He did not force you into sending him a refund, the FBI mayu have, but he did not. He did not intimidate you, and he used perfectly legal channels to go about his way. He extorted nothing, Dan.

Now its clear I was robbed of the snakes and money by Juan.
No, now its clear you :censored: up.

Heck, I thought you guys were honest and were gonna help me get my snakes back or my money.

What gives? No help?

Shoot, and I thought you guys would help. Man was I silly to think that for a moment.

Very silly, indeed. No one wants to help someone who insists on immaturely calling anyone who opposes him names, makes rude remarks about their personality (which by the way, can be considered defamation in a court of law), and has been cuaght in multiple lies.


You specifically asked me to have the importer send you the snakes so they would not incur two flights and to save you shipping money as I initially told you I was sold out but can find more.
Again, if this is against your basic policy, why change it?

Instead you held the 3 good snakes for months and filed a bogus report which was determined FRAUD by the FBI.
Where is your proof that it was deemed fraud by the FBI? Is this, too, another lie?

The evidence I provided shows you filed a bogus report. The evidence shows that you indeed received the goods.
The miniscule amount of evidence you provided showed nothing in the terms of his report, and the evidence in general shows that he did not receive "the" goods. He recived goods, but not what was agreed upon.

Now apologize and admit you are a liar and thief.
Could you please stop making demands? It makes you look worse considering it is you that has come into question.

Look thief, you are grasping at staws here.
Again, very, very rude.

Either apologize or find a new outlet instead of drugs.
Again, this could easily be considered defamation of character, though sarcastic as it is.

I guess you did not catch that I was joking when asking for help. I know that none of the loud mouths read into anything so their help is not needed.
Stop calling us loudmouths. Who has the most posts in this thread so far?.... Anyone.... Dan... you have 53 posts in this thread so far..... holy crap.... do you realize how sad that makes you look as a person?

You say you placed the ad for the snakes you had in your possession. So one would think those are the animals that are being presented and therefor offered for sale. So.. why did Juan receive animals from an importer that were NOT in your possession.

Please answer Keleidas question... it is a very good question.

You want to ignore the facts and evidence and take his side and look stupid...

The facts and evidence are being considered by most of the poeple that have taken their time out to read this thread and do so. No one is taking sides, it's just that at this point no one wants to look like they are on your side because they might be considered, as you put it so nicely, "loudmouth idiots" by association.

You have proven to mislead the readers with false statments and lies...
No sir, this is a job that has been attempted all too terribly by you.

I don't see anyone siding with you? I see a few of the same old nasties out for retaliation pretending to not know the facts and they kid no one.
I see no one siding with you, either, Dan. As far as I see it, there are only people defending one who was right in what they did (not you), and opposing someone who has lied repeatedly (you).

I think anyone who supports a criminal is just as criminal.
I will support anyone so long as they are just in what they have done, which is why I am supporting Mr. Gracia in this situation. Am I a criminal for supporting someone?

...and came here on drugs to blither some lies and lost.
Again, very rude and could be considered defamation.

The FEDEX tracking number cannot be forged and it shows the delivery of the shipment.

No, it can't be forged, but you can be wrong about what you claimed to have sent.

Read the proof idiot and weep.
Again, very rude.

Someone viewed this thread and bought a white lip python.
This is quite sad that someone would be willing to make a purchase from a person that has been repeatedly shown to be a lier, not to mention that they would want to do business with someone that has an appearently low level of maturity. If you really do have some sort of mental disorder or (gasp I'm going to use this word in a non-offensive manner) retardation, I do strongly apologize. I wouldn't wish those kinds of things even on my ex-girlfriends. But if not, there is no excuse.

Yea, some boneheads will blither no evidence or try to twist the story to your advantage because I proved them an idiiot time and time again, but none have explained why you kept the snakes and refused to send them back and why you filed a bogus complaint of non-receipt of goods when you received the goods.
I have not twisted anything to anyones advantage and have not been prove an idiot by anyone. Even though it was a general comment, I, along with (as I am sure) many others take this as a personal offense. It is rude and disrespectful. Have any of the admins jumped on him yet?
And it has been explained time and time again why the snakes were not returned and why the complaint was filed. Did you not read half of this thread?

I'm sorry if I offended you, Dan, but at this point you are making yourself look stupid. Perhaps you are afraid that if you back down you will look stupid, I do not know. If this is the case, let me tell you that backing down right now would make you look at least a bit admirable, though to many the hope of gaining back respect of you is lost.
 
Juan, Maybe you or someone else should report to Kingsnake that Dan is posting snakes he doesn't have and belong to someone else (Justyn). This shoud get his account suspended as it is against their TOS. This is probably why he is being duplicitous about whether he had the snakes at his place or he was advertising Justyn's snakes.
