    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.....

    Addendum: 01/10/2026
    =====================


    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....

Exposing other people's mames isn't about you, it's about Garrett. Worry about yourself.
 
That being said, when people are unsure of a person or company they want to make a transaction with, where do they go? The BOI, that's where. This board exists as a vehicle to help people protect themselves from spending money unwisely. In this case ALOT of money. So who do they rely on? Other previous customers of the person or company being inquired about. One of the most damning things that should be a red flag in anyone's book is why three people who gave Garrett alot of their money...Jim Gorman (Kingcobra), Maria Hueter (MGRAPHIX) and Charlie Rodriguez (dragondavey) and have not been satisfied in a year, are silent. There are only a few explanations I can think of for that. In any case, all I want to know is how much did he get from each of you, how long ago, and what you've gotten in return.

Maybe you three could just answer one question. Are you customers or partners?
 
People never cease to amaze me, being made promises after promises, excuses after excuses, and still NOTHING to show for their money, and yet, no response???????????

It's mind boggling to say the least, that those ripped off, on the list that was posted, haven't come forward????????

I WON'T STOP speaking up/out, and frogman hasn't ripped me off.

It's my opinion, it helps him to continue his dirty deeds, by not speaking up/out, and although speaking up/out, may not stop him completely, I guarantee this thread has put a catch in frogman's get a long, so why not come forward and help yourselves & others, who may fall prey to frogman

Please keep in mind, I didn't just come on here voluntarily or because I just stumbled on to it, I came on here because 2 that are owed reached out to me for help.

FYI....

The two that contacted me for help:

Michael Rodriguez~Uromastyx13~California

Charlie Rodriguez~DragonDavy~New York

They are not related, other than the fact, they both were ripped off by frogman.

Michael contacted me several times before he started this thread and the day of.

Charlie contacted me several times, much later in the thread.

Ooops, I was searching on my phone and stupid auto-complete messed me up then it posted here what I was searching. Anyways was trying to look up DragonDavy and see his story. That would be awesome if he came forward. I am sure he is probably talked to as if Michael will get less help because of the BIO or some other form of threat to keep from talking publicly.

DragonDavy has been viewing this thread ALOT. Mgraphix has shown up here and there as well. My guess is they are either afraid of the Frogman, or they are holding out for his continued promises that they will be satisfied regardless of a years worth of promises and excuses. Good luck with that. When they finally get the short end of the stick, I doubt anyone will sympathize with them due to their inability to support those who are going to bat for them now. Sad.

Would love to hear it.....

Kevin,
I did exactly that, every time he'd call, I would talk until blue in the face, telling him to come forward, and tell all, about his deal with frogman, to no avail.
​

I quit taking his calls a couple days ago, I got tired of listening to the problems with frogman, and him not doing anything about it, or for himself.

I truly believe, he's afraid he won't be paid, if he comes forward. I don't think he's going to be paid either way.

Charlie, I don't know what, you & the others are waiting for, all you're doing is prolonging the agony.

So nothing but phone calls between you, Lynn, and those other individuals with complaints against Garrett? No emails, PM's, texts? And please don't misinterpret my question above as a defense for Garrett- there is none.

Frankly, I see this whole debacle as a lost cause. Garrett will never do the right thing. Those he's ripped off, other than Michael, will not come forward, and Garrett will continue to scam, lie and evade.

I see "DragonDavy" is viewing now. Please speak up, Charlie.

Yes, exactly. So do you have anything other than phone calls to provide proof of Garret's other victims?

I think it's clear the type of "business man" Garret is. I think it's clear he is not to be trusted or engaged in any endeavors that require a party to hand money over to him.

I also think it's clear that despite multiple, repetitive bumping, this is a lost cause (as I stated) until the other parties want to speak for themselves and until Michael decides to update himself.

No offense intended; bump on if you so desire.

Zero
His "victims" have viewed this thread. I beleve their silence is a testament that Lynn is accurate. If he was lying, surely they'll express their anger here.

Laura,
If I did, I would of posted it.

I think it's proof positive, in addition to Michael, the others mentioned, are victims of Garrett's as well, have they come forward and said, NO, NOT US?

No offense intended!

Garrett, you took the time to attempt to send me 3 PM's. As you probably were advised, my Inbox is full.

Anything you wish to convey to me can easily be done here, until such time I decide to delete some PM's. :)

Transparency is always the best course of action ... that goes for you and for those others who have chosen not to come forward, but prefer to hide in the shadows.
