    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....

Bad Guy DTS Herps-buyer beware!!!

Ok, Dan. You were a squid...you still made it sound like you were a Marine and never explained that you were in the Navy assigned to a Marine unit.

Thank you for your service to our country.....your still a bad businessmen in the Herp world.
 
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.

thanks for the suggestion. I hadn't thought of this and will definitely look into it.
 
How about this Dan. since you continue to dodge specifically giving a straight answer when it comes to specific events regarding this thread and as to your stance on the matter at hand let me ask you one more time. Do you specifically and explicitly deny in full or in part that:

It is your official stance on the matter at hand that as of 11/16/08 you had no new animals(blue file snakes) that had arrived or were available and did not want to part with your 4 personal animals, which is understandable and that I had no reason to feel robbed and seek legal action against you as your intentions all along were to replace my animals whenever a new shipment happened to arrive be it a week or two.

Note that your refusal to specifically and explicitly deny and/or provide a straight, concise and meaningful answer by either ignoring to answer altogether, posting an off point(ie. Not specifically relevant to this specific post) or rude response, or by ignoring to address any part of the above statement highlighted in red provided in this specific post will be construed as an admission by your part that every and all statements on this post(ie. Red section) are accurate and true.
 
I would now like to please ask anyone who is viewing this thread and is thinking of posting onto this thread to please wait until Dan has posted his response to my previous post so to not give him reason to become distracted with other matters and is able to dedicate his full attention to the above post.
Thanks.

What is the "Herp world'?
Something you read on here?:rofl:
 
His herp world is where idiots come to knock other people they never bought a reptile from and make moron statements without having the all of the facts on the table to make an intelligent comment. This is a great format to prove people wrong and I take challenge to that is all. If that is source of distaste for you, then suck it up and grow up. Most here are good and they overlook folks who jump before the gun.

Sorry Slim, but my records are 30-40K sales each month, and I have many great accounts and great customers and my business skills mean the sky is the limit. Your statement is bogus and is based on a few out of thousands of sales that tried to scam for more than the terms of the sale and failed.

Either prove your statements or take them back and apologize. You cannot prove anything so just apologize.
 
Juan, what is this garbage you keep asking me? I told you I had several snakes here and was considering to send these but wanted to wait until you were present to receive the snakes so there could be no roommate to dodge phone calls when they arrive and if you had any issues we together could work it out not when you are telling me you are above the arctic circle twiddling your thumbs. Of course I had plenty of snakes here and still have many, so what does that do for you? You told me you would rather have the snakes then a refund and hung up the phone and saw my ad and thought you were getting screwed and instead of calling me, you made a bogus report to the FBI indicating non-receipt of goods and you lied to them. You then boarded an airplane and ran for the hills. So what. You are another scammer who got caught is all.
 
Dan please respond to post # 123 as I know you've read it. how could you not you've been here keeping track for the past day of everything anyone post. Respond or don't be upset later when conclusions are drawn.
 
Dude, I had plenty of animals and expected 25 more but the permits were not approved so what else do you want. I am not upset but don't see the staw you are grabbing at. I told you I may consider sending these but wanted you home to receive them. You said fine and hung up the phone and filed a bogus report with the FBI. Just admit it and the truth shall set you free.

I thought you said you only had 4 animals which belonged to you and these were the ones posted for the ad? either way then if like you just said you had plenty of animals why did you refuse to settle with me and tell me I would have to wait until the new shipment came in?
why would you hide the existence of the plentiful amount of animals in your possession and make me wait for four months?

even though you've said many times through this post you were more than willing to settle with me and yet as can be clearly seen in the following emails when I requested you settle with me you refused and told me I would have to wait till the next shipment? even though like you said you had "plenty of animals"

Hey Dan It's Juan again. Unfortunately Justin didn't get the file snakes

He's saying he'll get them next week but I don't imagine there's any guarantee on that considering he's been saying "next week, next week" for the past 5 months. I'm leaving this weekend and this time I'll be out of the states, I'm not sure how communications are going to be in the field, or how long I'll be gone for which is why I told you I needed to take care of this situation in the couple of weeks I was home on break.

You can send me the 4 snakes belonging to you, you had originally told me I'd get, if you like. Although I know you don't want to part with your snakes and I understand that in which case you can just go ahead and paypal me back my money. If for some reason Justin eventually ends up acquiring more animals you can email me and we can try to do business again although that will definitely have to wait until I'm back in the states again. unfortunately my roommate who usually coordinates the delivery/receiving of new animals won't be able to help with such things while I'm gone this time. There are several severe medical emergencies with his family so he's gotta take care of that. Plus I wouldn't feel right burdening him with having to coordinate things like before so for now It's best this whole fiasco gets settled. Thanks

Juan: Well like discussed, I can ensure arrival of 4 more file snakes if you are present to receive them when they arrive. I personally wised the others were sent directly back when they did not arrive in satisfactory condition as that was apart of the transcations etc.

Actually here's the email where you specifically told me not to ship those animals back. If you remember this was after I spoke to you on the phone about the condition of animals that were first sent to me and how due to their extremely sickly condition the remaining ones would probably not survive the shipping back. It has been five months and no new animals have showed up as of yet so the fact that I haven't been home makes no difference. Also when I first got back home and spoke with you two weeks ago you told me that this situation would be settled by you either you getting me some new animals, or sending me yours, or refunding me my money. You then changed your mind a week later and said you would either refund me my money, or send me 2 of yours along with a partial refund (which I told you would no be acceptable) unless Justin was able to come up with a new batch of animals. You are now telling I have to wait for new animals whenever they happen to arrive even though none of this situation is any of my fault. Like we had discussed, this needs to be taken care of before I leave for work again or unfortunately I will be forced to begin legal proceedings in order to have this situation settled. I would really like to avoid this if at all possible but I'll do what I have to and considering I have every email between you and me (including all the ones where you apologize and admit for being at fault), photos of the conditions of the animals sent to me, and copies of your Kingsnake ad where it specifically states the animals have a live arrival guarantee and they are supposed to be healthy and specifically fungus free I should have no problem getting this resolved even if it takes some time to achieve.

Jon, well tell him to hold them to not waste money shipping them back to the fellow in texas and we will send 4 new blue ones to you and sorry about this. I told the fellow to get ahold of LB and get them shipped back and he is giving me debate over what he thinks was good to ship so we will just ship new stuff out when the new shipment arrives in a couple of weeks and make sure they are blue.

Dan

Hi Dan, I spoke with LB a little while ago. He said you'd tried to contact him but weren't able to. unfortunately he works from pretty early in the morning to late in the evening. So I gave him your number so he can have a way of contacting you back, or you can try to call him again if you like but he doesn't get home until around 8 pm. This is also going to affect his ability to ship those animals back since Fedex closes @ 9 and the nearest fedex center is in another town. So the soonest he'll be able to send those guys back will be on Monday which is his day off.

He also told me that the snake with the lesion died just a little while ago. also the other two snakes, although they're still alive the fungus spots have increased considerably in size probably related to transit stress. As far as I've read from the little that's out there about captive husbandry on file snakes this fungus is pretty difficult to treat, almost impossible to cure and is usually deadly so I don't know how well the last two are going to hold out considering the infection has progressed so quickly in just a day.

Lastly, when you send me some new animals, If you could please send me those with the blue striping I would greatly appreciated. Out of the ones I got two had the blue stripes and the other two were completely black. I don't mind if I have to wait for the new batch to arrive if that's what it'll take to get those types of animals. I just really want to work with that type of genetics.Thanks

Juan: There is no progress to dispute the circumstances as I recall emailing and phoning your roommate to get him to send the snakes back, and your telling me he is busy, and then after no contact with him telling you to hold them. Despite that it would be best for all if you were present to receive the snakes, a new shipment will arrive and I am supposed to get 25 of them and I will ensure you get 2.2 sent off in great condition and health and do not like the delay but these are not your typical snakes and are the first ones ever to be imported into the country so working around your time schedule when home was not as hopeful as we could plan. I also do not and will not respond to threats of legal action and such and have been quite honest and open to you and will make sure you are happy with the snakes you receive. I have send several out to aquariums and nature centers and all reports are they are doing fine and people want more of them. None of this went according to plan because if the product was not acceptable, then it should of been returned as I suggested when it started. If they arrive next week I will of course let you know and inspect them myself and send them off to your roommate etc.

Dan
 
CJ:

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.

That is a crime and he is a criminal.

He kept the 3 good snakes and refused to send them back and extorted with a bogus report he sent to the FBI.

Understand now.

Let us know how that 'fraud' report with the FBI goes, Dan. You must think so highly of the country you served for if their Federal officers are so easily duped into thinking you did something you didn't, especially allocating an extra $50.00 from you in the form of a tangible "apology" to Mr. Gracia.


I think too many people here are trying to grab at something that isn't there - logic. Dan is going to stick to his story and change it as much as possible whenever a button is pushed. He's gone into weak-lawyer mode (not admitting anything wrong, but poor phrasing choices and absolutely no actual training in law's diction), and trying to get him to answer a question is like trying to compare apples to oranges - you're not going to get a result you want. It's Dan's goal to personally insult every person posting in his thread because they disagree with them. Seriously Juan - you've done all you need to do. He's not going to cave - not here. Maybe on the phone; maybe by email.

I still laugh to myself when I think about FBI officers showing up at his home and getting him to send you your refund. All scared and desperate. Put that buffoon in his place. What a lying scumbag.

Remember yesterday when I pointed out the fallacy in his "hobby" shtick with the 117 ads? DTS herps currently has 140 ads on kingsnake - this is a man who's "not trying" to make money and is merely keeping up a "hobby." Yeah right.
 
so what is it Dan? you had plenty snakes? or only four at the time you posted your second ad like you've been saying this entire time? Remember Dan, changing your story back and forth doesn't help you in the least. so please clarify.
 
Frank:

Are you still sore you beat me out of a refund on frogs you kept way beyond the terms of the guarantee. Be glad you got away robbery and be nice for once in your life. No cops ever showed here my friend. I reported his fraud complaint to the FBI the very next day and they dismissed his bogus complaint as it had no merit because he received the goods. See the tracking number fool.

And not only did he receive the goods, he refused to send them back and robbed me of their value, the refund from his fraud report and wasted my time kicking his butt here.
 
Juan:

What I have my boy is evidence of your bad deeds:

Evidence that you filed a non-receipt of goods report with the FBI and proof that you received the goods.

Evidence that you refused to return the snakes and accept a refund.

Your own email evidence sunk you long ago my good friend.
 
Juan:

Don't kid yourself.

I understand what straw you are trying to grasp.

You are trying to justify your actions based on some idea that you were not going to get the snakes I offered you out of my collection.

The problem here is that you totally disregard the fact that I told you that I WOULD NOT be sending another group of snakes to your roommate and it was a must that you HAD to be home (our emails are evidence). So regardless of your loss of temper or what made you file a BOGUS report with the FBI, you still would of had to of been home to receive the animals and you said you were taking off again soon. And if was YOU who forced those conditions because YOU and your ROOMMATE refused to send the other snakes back for attention and remedy. As such, you held the product and refused to return it, so it was your actions that started this entire mess in the first place. Had you returned the snakes like asked, you would of received an instant refund. Instead you tell me they may have some fungus and never show me a photo of that and then tell me months later they died. You produced no evidence any snake was dead so for all I know is that you have 4 good snakes, my money, and a good arss whipping on the BOI.

And don't kid yourself my friend. You owe me for the other snakes you kept and I will eventually take the proper actions to ensure proper remedy.
 
why are you changing topics again? hey man all I asked is a very simple question. 4 animals or many animals. is it that hard to answer this simple question. like I said Dan I'm just trying to get things straight since you continually change your story.
I don't understand what could possibly be so intimidating about this simple question non aggressive question that you won't answer it?

so once again Dan 4 or many? I thought all along it was 4? Am I wrong?
 
if everything you're saying is right then what do you have to worry about. I'll just continue to make a fool out of myself. so why don't you indulge this crazy fool and just give me a straight answer
 
What are you asking? 4 or more animals? I had several at the time and that was a year ago so why are you asking me to recall how many I had? It could of been a half dozen or a dozen or two. I had several hold backs and several for other pending orders, some on hold waiting payments that never showed, I even had one that donned a top-hat and sang wango tango.

What is your point with how many I had?

It does not disregard the fact that you filed a bogus report with the FBI for non-receipt of goods when you received the goods and withheld the return of the snakes.

You are not a fool, you are a criminal. You are an experienced scammer and I am quite sure that I am not the first person you robbed but that will all come out eventually right? Why not tell the folks what else you are hiding about yourself? Maybe I will.
 
My point Dan is very simple which is to show that if according to you you are now stating that that you had more than four animals available which is directly at odds with all of your previous postings for the past 13 pages how can anyone trust what you are saying when you can't keep a simple number straight. Plus it wasn't that long ago not to mention that due to the ordeal you went through I doubt you don't remember.

More importantly this is a very clear admission on your part that you were intending to scam me all along. forget my supposed bogus claim to the FBI since that only happened until later. actually no don't forget the FBI since with your admission it gives me all the legitimitate reasons to have contacted any law enforcement agency.

So are you saying that you were in fact all along attempting to intentionally scam me? or would you like to rethink your answer?
 
Juan:

Look thief, WAKE UP.

Why would I or anyone for that matter even attempt to scam anyone when I am fully aware that my advertising account would be terminated if I did not fulfill the terms of sale? Or you could easily come here and make a negative post? Or make a claim in Paypal? Or sue for damages? Are you that stupid? Come on now. Are you really that dumb or pretending to be dumb? I thought you had a high school diploma or something equal to that. How about the DOZENS of times I offered to refund your cash and you REJECTED the refund. Who are you kidding? You are part of some scam dude and trying to pretend you thought you were going to be scammed when you learned Justyn Miller was the importer or you are working for someone else that failed to screw me over. I don't know what your motive is here? You stole the snakes, stole the money, and made some bogus thread here. I have nothing to do with his past troubles and only ordered some file snakes and the first 2 dozen or so I received were perfect and I sent them to zoos across our great country and people email me to this day begging for more.

Do you have any clue as to how many gravid animals I give buyers just because I like making people happy? You have the wrong idea about me thief. I love to make people happy with their new pets. Ask my great customers who I email afterward to hear their joy upon receiving their new animal.

What gets me about some of the folks who post here is they are MORONS because they totally disregard the plain and simple fact that no one in business would even attempt to scam anyone out of anything due to the simple fact the seller would loose their privileges to advertise quickly if they fraud anyone. Do you think I wasted my time to get a business license to scam people? Do you know that with my investments, I don't ever have to work another day in my life? My family income is 10 times what you could imagine bonehead. You know crap my friend. I give stuff away all of the time but will bust arss when someone is trying to rob me. Some of these folks here were rejects from reform school. They all were criminals themselves and have criminal minds and assume the negative as to what they would do to scam other people and portray their bad thoughts onto their twisted versions of events.

It is called warped. You are warped and so are some of the folks who dared to blither a comment. Plain and simple - WARPED IN THE HEAD. CRIMINAL MINDS ARE LIKE BIRDS OF A FEATHER.

And have law enforcement contact me. I do more for them then they do for me, so go ahead and look like a screwball again.
