Well then why dosn't he contact me about this??? I would think he would like to resolve this in a timely fashion. I told him (through a add he had on kingsnake and also a request of payment through paypal) that if he didn't get back to me by monday I was going to me on monday that I would put this on Fauna.
Dan if you are reading this, please refund my money for buying a CB snake that died in 3 day's. your add say's 2 week gaurantee. Why do you feel I am scamming you if that is what has happend? I sent you photo's and your hanging the phone up on me and blocking my emails is not a good way to go about buisness! incase you lost my email it is [email protected]

There is nothing preventing Dan from posting on this end. He isn't banned. If I recall he had the same problem before. He might want to check his browser to see if it is accepting cookies. If it isn't, I believe it will bring him back to the log in screen when he tries to post.

Very perceptive of how some multiple personality bad guys work here, but no. I assure you that Dan and Randall are to completely different people. Randall's a reputable guy who just happened to have some good experiences with Dan, while Dan....well, you know about Dan.

Sorry you had to learn the hard way, and I wish you the best of luck in the future. Look at it this way...you found a new useful resource!

 

[absnaken]

yes, better later than never! I am sorry for asking that Randal.

Andy is a scammer and is only pissed because he was caught in a scam. Andy sold a snake I gave him for FREE to his buddy for $300 dollars and a month later his buddy allowed it to soak and get bumps and he has to refund his friend for the scam he pulled on his own buddy. LOL is all.

My dealings with Andy started in January 2008 when he bought some cb ground boas. Due to weather and at Andy's request, I held them until March 2008 and shipped. Andy reported they arrived in great shape and I never heard from him in weeks/months. A few months later, he bought some egg eating snakes and he reported they arrived great and I never heard from him again.

Later, Andy was so happy with my snakes that months later in August, Andy emailed and said he wanted to buy more egg eating snakes as his others were thriving and he was overjoyed with them. Andy added that the ground boas caught a respiratory at his place and they passed although he did not show me any evidence they passed. None of the other 30 I shipped to several folks ever showed a resp and it was weeks/months after his report they arrived in great shape with no sign of any issue. Despite the guarantee was void at that point, I had many Asian Green Snakes on hand in a breeding group which were long term captives and offered him a free Asian Bush Snake (E. frenata) valued at 300 dollars as he also wanted to buy 1.1 cb 08 egg eating snakes.

Yep, a 300 dollar snake for FREE just to show my appreciation of his continued business and I throw in free snakes all the time for folks.

Andy paid August 31 and on Sept 3rd I shipped him the free frenata and 1.1 baby egg eating snakes. When I shipped, I emailed Andy the tracking number and informed that the red egg eater was in its second shed and strongly advised to not feed it until it sheds as the travel dehydrates snakes and feeding it right away could harm or kill the tiny snake. Andy IGNORED my advice and emailed me the same day he received them that he fed both egg eaters and they ate great and he was very happy. His report was that all of the snakes arrived in great shape. I again advised him it was not a good idea to feed the egg eater that was in shed.

The next day Andy emailed and said he discovered the red egg eater dead. Despite it all, I notified Andy that he would get another for free or a refund for it ($75 is what he paid for it). Andy purchased baby red egg eaters before from me, so I am not even sure the snake he showed in the photo was the one I shipped but took his word for it. We had frequent email conversations afterward about waiting for some egg eaters and some that were here that I was waiting to feed and adjust to captivity.

During this time, Andy emailed with illegal deals. He offered me native snakes from California and I passed on buying them.

A month later (two days ago), I answered the phone and it was some upset and angry person speaking loud and fast named Scott who I did not even know and never sold a snake to. Scott explained that he paid Andy $300 dollars for frenata when it arrived. Scott said it since developed bumps and puked and voiced to extort funds via threats to harm my company via the BOI. I hung up on his threats and phoned him after he calmed down. Scott voiced that the frenata arrived fine as Andy reported but was now in sad shape a month later. He obviously allowed it to soak and it got skin bumps and he said he fed it too much and it puked. I responded it was in perfect shape a month earlier, a year captive that ate from my fingers, and I did informed Andy to never allow any frenata to soak and always offer small food as they are prone to blisters and big meals are not good. I provided a good care sheet to Andy and had no idea Andy sold my gift to his friend. I also advised that they require an open cage with a heat lamp and boxes were not good as the humidity could demise that species quickly with wet paper or water bowl soakings. I also told Scott that I gave the snake to Andy for free and I did not understand why he (Scott) was after me for any $300 dollars? Once Scott learned that Andy was given the snake for free, he apologized for bothering me for the call. Regardless, it seems Andy scammed his friend for $300 dollars for the free snake I gave Andy. Scott then handed the phone to Andy and we spoke and I told him that despite it all, I would get him an egg eater or refund his 75 dollars but had some and wanted to hold them and watch them eat and grow for a bit and Andy said great.

So far, at this point, I see that Andy was very embarrased that I divulged to his friend that I sent him the snake for free. I was advertising them for $325 and it was obvious that Andy sold it to his friend for $300 dollars.

A day later (yesterday), Andy emails he wants 310 dollars and threatens to extort that amount of funds from me. I do not take kindly to threats or nut case emails like that, so I blocked Andy's email.

Andy's offers for native snakes from California is a violation of the Lacy Act. It is important that the state and federal authorities are aware of Andy's bids to break the law. Sorry Andy, but your gig is up. Now you can deal with the badge as I have your email offers to sell me the native snakes.

Andy also is making a 200 dollar claim on paypal that he did not receive what he ordered which is a lie.

Andy is a scammer and got caught scamming his own friend Scott.

Andy gets a thumbs down as a buyer. His offer to break the law to sell snakes from his state will be reported to the proper authorities.

Dennis: And you were wrong again as my access to the BOI was denied for several hours and everytime I logged in it would take me back to the login page and when I did get logged in and made a post, it would not accept the post. My cookies had nada to do with it either. This is the reply I received several times when posting. And since you are a big wig here, tell me why I got banned? One of the big wigs here said I lied and I told him to prove it and then I was banned. Can you explain that or will you get banned?

Wow, the scary thing is I think you believe what you are saying Dan. You gave me the Frenata to refund for the dead boas. My buddy Scott saw your add and offered me a deal that he would use up my credit with you by paying me if I got him the Frenata. As you may of forgot I was waiting months for you to get me a pair of albino house snakes instead. The only snakes that lived from you where the egg eaters so since he was going to pay the shipping I figured I would grab another pair from you (and the first pair was black and silver, no red!) I am not very forward about dealing with these things and Scott offered to call you and see if he could get further with you. As your buddy Freight informed Scott that he bought a bad snake off you. The paypal thing, if you read it is only for 75 dollars. Is any of this coming back??? How do you keep figuering that the Frenata was Free?? Can anyone explain to me this? unless you knew they where bad snakes as you took so long to send them because the male in the trio was in bad shape and you wanted to wait to send it till it got better. I would like you to know that I am a morman and a eagle scout and a father of 2.. I do not try to lie, cheat, or steale from people. I really believe in the Karma thing also. so if this is the way you treat your customers than I pitty them and hope they learn about this web site before buying from you.
even in your email you admitted to knowing that you owe me 75 dollars. was all this worth it? not for me, but now to inform others of your doings it will all come around.

ahh, Dan, your reaching now. Asking Dennis or challenging him for an answer, serves you no purpose and will only get you banned again, relax Dan.

That is inevitable. But what a nice attempt to coach your douche bag friend.

 

[Dan Scolaro]

Andy:

You are full of wind.

It goes without saying that you had no guarantee on those boas months later that died in your care months later and I was just being very kind to you.

Your friend Scott voiced that you were afraid to pick up the frenata when it arrived so I have to question what you are all about there buying snakes and afraid of them.

Regardless, I told you to not feed the egg eater and soak it and get its shed off BEFORE feeding it as the transport on a new born is tough.

Then we speak and I tell you I will get your egg eater or 75 refund but know the snake means more to you so was still working on it.

And then the next day after we speak, you email me some nutso email threatening to scam me for 310 dollars plus 75 dollars and then go after me for 200 on paypal. You are a nut.

Explain it to the feds my friend and your goose is cooked.

 

[absnaken]

not sure how snakes from arizona are illegal to sell? How did you get that they where California local?
