    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 Garret Smith ( Scammer )

I can add to this post from a few thousand kilometers away:

The geckos at Garretts house are mine and garrett, as a great business partner, was so kind to open up the US market for me. He keeps the animals for me in best condition and also manages the shipment to my customers.

Importing animals from countries like Pakistan is a though bussiness. It is amazing, which progresses Garrett made in this topic. And amazing, that people, who know how complicated such imports are, complain about it. To get this animals is a dream for many people and getting them is anyway worth the waiting time. I know that this dreams are close to become reality. and I am very thankful for all the time and effort and a lot of personal money Garrett already spent in this project.

I trust Garrett from all the wonderful things we dealt with in the past and can tell everyone: If bussiness with him works over that big distance, be sure, it will also work in your close distance. And any problems coming due to delays is just a matter of documents and organisation that just take longer in some countries.

Cheers, Markus

Garrett has insinuated that if he get's scammed by his Pakistani contact that his "partners" will have to go after the Pakistani for their refund. My question is how do all his current "partners" feel about that? More importantly, knowing what you know now, would you have written the exact same post above, word for word?

Does it really matter, what he wrote then, and what he'd write now?? It's not about Markus, it's about Garrett Smith, user name Frogman11, aka Princess, and those he owes.

I know exactly where you're going with that question.:yesnod: But I assure you, unless Markus also owes, it's not going to change a thing.:thumbsup:

Hey Princess, any money yet, for those you owe?

To those he owes, I still think, coming forward will definitely help?

So far, no new info on my end as of today.

wow over 80 pages? tl;dr

i can imagine a legal professional would ask Mike to explain the oral agreement, word for word; and likewise, Garrett how clear he actually was on the importation timeframe, figure to figure.

and a judge would possibly investigate bilateral elements of 'joint control' during the business - if joint venture/partnership is the defense, as it sure seems to be.

btw, i've heard a lawyer saying the Statute of Frauds (CA) stipulates that virtually all business agreements (whether b2c/b2b/p2p) with terms 'more than a year' must be in writing... really?

sorry i'm not a lawyer so this ain't legal advice - but would very much like to see this resolved for the sake of the human and evenmoreso non-human lives involved, well before my return (God-willing) in 6 mos from 11/11.

love & light!

Neil,

So if I understand your post correctly, you read ALL 80 plus pages, and you believe it's a venture/partnership after reading the entire 81 pages??

If that's truly what you came up with, I strongly suggest you read ALL 81 pages again.

Or could it be you're friends with Princess.

Either way, you're entitled to your opinion!

Hey Princess, any money yet, to pay those you owe??

WOW.....TOO LONG DIDN'T READ!

Again, I suggest you read ALL 81 pages, because, only then will you be able to make an intelligent assessment, opposed to guessing at what you think might of been said, or done , after reading just a few posts on this BOI Thread.

Hey Princess, plan on paying any of those you owe, any TIME SOON?

Another day, no new info, I'm calling everyone back again Thursday, if I don't hear from them before then.

Is there anyone you know who would be able to recite an "oral agreement" word for word ten months later? Why don't you ask Garret about the "importation timeframe? You'll see just how far a lawyer would get with this guy, lol.
 
:rofl:

Mike has proof of wiring Garrett $6500.

what does Garrett have proof of, if anything?

READ ALL 81 pages, Your questions will be answered.

Hey Princess, time is of the utmost, pay, pay, pay, those you owe.

Michael, what's up?????

Wasn't it in this thread that garrett got warned by the mods that repeating the same thing over and over would earn him infractions? It's late so I could be thinking of another thread but I'm pretty sure it was this one.
 
Glad I wasn't wrong. So if someone read all 81 pages why would they keep repeating themselves knowing they can get a warning or infraction for it?

Julia,

He DIDN'T READ All 81 pages.:thumbsup:

As far as infractions, from reading what he has posted thus far, he doesn't have a clue about this post, or infractions on this website.

Now back to the business at hand.

Princess, time is definitely at hand, are you figuring out your next move. (EXCUSE) ?????

Hey Michael, this started with you, and is about you & Princess, surely you must have something to say, Don't you???

Hey Princess,
Do you remember back on 8/10/2015?

You stated in your text to Michael, (see text below)

Well that excuse is now 13 plus weeks past, a far cry from 30 days, give or take....

What new excuse is next??

You've been awful quiet lately, cat got tongue, out of excuses, or ??

Now is not the time to shut up, now is the time to pay up!

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hey Michael, you've been awful quiet lately as well, Princess got your tongue, or are you just giving up?? (which is exactly what princess wants you to do)

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

To those Princess owes, you all have been extremely quiet, never a word, don't hold back thinking he won't pay you, he's not going to pay any of you whether you come forward or not....

I'm not sure of the actual details and how well reporting has been done in this case, but this article out today in the Guardian (linked below and also attached) suggests that Markus deals with another convicted smuggler, Maciej Oskroba, in addition to Garrett Smith. The article describes the relationship as a partnership.

http://www.theguardian.com/environm...gal-loopholes-to-trade-at-worlds-biggest-fair

Markus, I have to say this: you cannot be both a conservationist and supportive of those who seek to smuggle wildlife out of their native countries and habitats. Support includes business relationships and referrals.
