    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.

    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 Garret Smith ( Scammer )

Instead of repeating yourself why don't you post some proof of what you keep saying. Screen shots of where you told Mike before he sent the funds to you that it was a partnership and not him buying animals from you.. screen shots of conversations with your contact person. The cities paperwork people keep asking for. You've shown absolutely no proof, saying it over and over isn't going to make people believe you, especially with your track record.

This is just a repost from my first comment and it answers every question that the 2 window lickers Chris and Lynn keep asking.:deadhorse Or telling me what I should do.:deadhorse Lol






I did not sell any animals to Mike on this transaction.

The transaction that Mike is referring to is this: I found a contact in Pakistan that is able to get Saara Hardwickii and other reptiles at a good price. I asked Mike if he wanted to go in on this deal with me, to buy animals at cost with me and he could keep them or resell them. he agreed on 3.3 Saara Hardwickii. I bought more. Mike sent the money to me and I wired the money to my contact.

Importing takes a while and Mike knows this, Especially from a country that hasn't exported legally in over 10 years. I imported some uromastyx for him and it took 6 moths. He knows how long these things take.

Mike and his mom now have changed there minds and don't want the animals they want out of the deal and expect me to pay them back.

Mike has told me several lies to play the hard nocks card and I have sent him some money back. I have also tried to offer him some animals that he thought he could sell because he said he was low on cash. Captive bred adult Defensors one that is gravid. He said their worth $300 each, and he can get captive bred defensors for $300 each. When a baby CB defensors are going for $1,000. I have offered him other animals to help him out but he wants to give me nothing for them and make additional money on top of the money he invested in the Hardwickii. Last week was the last straw with believing he BS. He said he didn't have money for his daughters birthday and then posted a picture of a new banded uromastyx on Facebook that he just bought. He has done this several times.

I have told Mike 3 times, once last night, that the geckos at my house don't belong to me. I didn't pay to import them nor do I get the money when sold.

Ive been very clear with Mike and anyone else on the time it take on importing. Mike is now calling people that have purchased animals from me and wanting them to say something bad about me. In terms of time, They, like Mike, knew what they were getting into.

To sum this transaction up. Mike is not a customer of mine, what we discussed is a business partnership on this one order. Specifically 6 animals. He thinks that only way this could be a business partnership is if we sign a document. Not true Mike.

Hey scamdude, some mentioned you filing legal charges? Lol! Tell you what, you could save alot of money and have a video recorded polygragh test and share the results here. Case closed.
 
I have 4 or more people asking the same questions of me that are answered back on July 21st. They are a little slow….so I thought I would repost the answers. I don't see Nick warning them for reposting 30 pages of the same questions.

I have all the paperwork that there asking for but I have no desire or reason to prove anything to these fools. I'm just playing their game. LOL

The only reason I'm working with Mike and not making him wait for the Pakistan shipment, Like we original agreed to, is because of his mother. See, this is not Mikes money that was wired to Pakistan. It was his mothers. I didn't know this at first. Her and I talked twice on the phone. She seams like a hard working, nice, respectable woman. I told her that I would do what I can to 1. Find someone to buy their animals at cost. 2. Give her some of my animals at the same value. She offered to take $500 off of what they invested. I said no. They invested $6,500 and wanted out of the deal, I told her I would work on getting the $6,500 back and would not take $500 of hers to do this. Mike doesn't mention this in his responses.

If you detectives actually read these posts, Go back to Mikes post 305. Where he admits to me in a text to lying about not having enough money for his daughters birthday party. LOL

Mike also said he was very sick with his illness and couldn't get out of bed. He said his daughter was very sick as well. On the same day he posted pictures of him and his daughter at Disneyland. LOL

You 4 people sticking up for Mike are being played. But from reading some of your post on other people, you deserve what you get. LOL

Cheers

Frogman, show the wire transfer info you claim you wired to your contact in Pakistan, or is that some more of your BS, thinking someone will believe you.:rofl::rofl:

You literally never seize to amaze me, with all your repeated BS!

Again take that first step, and STAND UP and say, My name is Garrett Smith, and I've been a BAD, BAD, BOY and now I want to make it right, etc., etc. You know what you need to do........

Come on tadpole, post it. (you're definitely not a frog "MAN"! A Real MAN wouldn't do what you've done)

Concern yourself with your own house. You are the only person repeatedly making entire copy & paste posts repeatedly in this thread. I consider myself to have been exceedingly clear the last time I publicly addressed the matter.
 
See Chris, most people in life don't like when things go wrong, a deal goes bad, or not the way one or both party's thought. Conflict is very upsetting to people.

But you and a few others thrive on other peoples disagreements. You get excited and take enjoyment in other peoples mishaps. Thats discussing. I bet you get excited when a new BOI starts. You must, because if anyone checks you are currently fighting, VIA your keyboard with several people. Some people read, watch TV collect stamps etc. Your hobby is this. And you are not even good at it. You spent 3 days questioning Markus on time zones.

You have 2017 post. Most if not all are harassing and antagonizing people. You thrive on getting into peoples misfortunes. You have a ZERO trader rating.

YOU ARE A PSYCHOPATH.

If you need to set his mother straight in this mess as you've mentioned above why not send her back the money and be done? Offering livestock to someone you know hasn't any use for it clearly doesnt make her whole. She's a mom not a reptile wheeler dealer such as yourself. You state your having great sales, the animals you post for sale involve thousands of dollars and if your an actual business as I am you have plenty to spare here and there to float you when an issue like this arises from time to time. Worst case it's near the end of the year and if you don't land anything before January 1st the money returned would be a deduction as expense loss and with the banner year you have offered your having a deduction is never a bad thing!

Doesn't surprise me trying to make my sickness seem like nothing, I was diagnosed with a connective tissue disorder over two years SLE ( lupus ) so for you to try to undersize my autoimmune disease is pathetic , for everyone who knows me and keeps contact with me knows im currently going through another flare up again and as of today 10-22-2015 I have to go back to my oncologist today and get my first infusion of ,
Immune globulin intravenous (IGIV).
Unlike you garret I have zero problem showing proof of what I have , so tonight once im done with my first infusion treatment to treat my SLE and ITP will post medical paperwork showing my condition . If you knew anything of people who suffer from automimmune disease you would know how hard it is to deal with it everyday and by you causing me stress these past 10 months has been nothing , but hell .

You claim to say im always at Disneyland , but yet can't prove it and so what if i were to take my daughter to downtown disney and post a picture of it on my social media profile how do you know it wasn't from another day when i was feeling better physically?
 
Funny thing about trader ratings Garrett. I saw were you recently bought $20 worth microfauna from a contributing member here in an attempt to bolster your perceived reputation. If you dont care about fauna then why are you fighting so hard for your rep here? I dont expect an answer Garrett. I expect a profanity laced meltdown followed with a boot!
 
Hey frog! Why don't you give your "partner" the Pakistani's contact number? Maybe he can produce some documents.

Josh,

I explained this a few pages back. I can't repost the response because its called spam, so I will retype it. I don't have $6,500. His Moms money was wired to Pakistan along with my money and no one else's money. I told mike and his mother that Im getting some animals in and will sell them and give his mother her money or he can take the animals and sell them himself. He chose to take the animals.

Mike has all my contact information and always has. At no point did I ever say that I or my contact in Pakistan was going to keep his money and he was going to get nothing. I have been in contact will Mike the entire time.

Vanessa if what you said was true. Then why didn't any one of you ask Mike for proof to back up his claim? When he admitted to lying about needing money for his daughters birthday party. Not one of you BOI regulars said a word. When and If I decide to proof of Mike being a total lier, you won't say a word and say I made up the documents and photos of the animals etc.

I'm going to take Jesses advice and block a few of you Fauana BOI regulars that keep asking questions that have been answered in my first post.
This is no angry deflection, Im proud of my BOI. I hope it stays at the top and reaches 100 plus pages. It will show the few people that read them that if they have a transaction with me, I will follow through until the end! I will also hold you accountable for your end!

Nice attempt at deflection there. I already knew you were someone with questionable ethics and business practices after you decided to create similarly false statements regarding my character on my personal BOI as you have with several other members here. Where there's smoke there's generally a fire. Truthfully, I was the first person you attacked here on Fauna.

Go ahead and block us. Just because you don't see us doesn't mean the whole world won't know how unprofessional and immature you are by reading our unanswered questions and your own self-denigration.
