    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....

Greater Nashville Reptile Show?!?! Warning / Potential problems.

I also know that they borrowed money from people, such as Ernie Lanier who donated the green anaconda that they raffled off. Ernie was never repaid, though he tried and tried to connect with them. Kelli conveniently quit answering her cell phone.

Since they wrote the check for the New Orleans show in May, it seems they definitely have a long history of stealing and are very, very good at it. I hope I never run into them again but, if I ever get the chance to help nail their butts to the wall, I will do it.
 
Just a brief message to let you know that I have gotten all the paperwork completed and ready to file warrants for their arrest in mid December for check fraud. I will be traveling to Nashville, TN at that time and staying a few days with Earnie Lanier. The Tennessee Check & Fraud Division & local police have been most helpful. I will have them arrested and with the cooperation of another have additional charges filed by them once they are in custody so I can enjoy the spectacle. It's a small tragedy that these people are raising children. Their closest so called friends have helped me immensely as there is no honor among thieves. TN C&F Div states we may all have a great case of fraud against them on the fraudulent advance ticket sale claim that could put them away for many years to come. I'll give everyone loads of more current info this evening so stay tuned..............
 
Roarke,

That is very good news! I'm glad this is being done. Since I never paid for anything (the table was donated), I don't know what or if I can do anything to help you but I am very willing to help in any way I can.

Ok look I don't say much, but I gotta say this. Boasnkc (Kcrd Reptiles) and Go Liazrds have always paid for their tables at my shows. Sometimes they even do it with a smile....lol

There is no doubt that the Nashville 4th of July bash was a scam from the very start. The Wikels evidently have been in the business of scamming and defrauding people for years. They gave Alex Russell promoter of Gila Production Shows a fraudulent check from the same closed account several months prior at the Louisiana Show and haven't made good on the check. That account had been closed for more than a year for passing of bad checks. Once everyone brought Troy and Kellie's activity into the open they continued to lie and fabricate imaginary conversations and nonexistent payment schedules for restoration. I contacted Kellie months ago and after much discussion (a litney of lies) agreed to her plan for repayment. Of course she's missed every payment date and has made no effort to return emails or phone messages. Reached her by phone last weekend and she answered cheerfully untill I said hello Kellie, this is Roark. How are you? Her mood soured immediately as she asked what I wanted. I replied money would be nice. She replied she didn't have any and was being evicted yet again at the end of November because Troy wouldn't get a job. I asked why not? She replied none of your f___ing business and then started screaming and yelling the F word at me. I couldn't talk to her above the drone. I have no respect for cowards like Troy and women like Kellie who ally themselves with them. Never forget "Water seeks its own level." I'd have more respect for a gunman who attempts to rob me. At least you know what their motive is and have the opportunity to take the weapon away. The lowest forms of humanity rob you with a smile so they can get away and not deal with the fallout. Cowards, liars, thieves, like Troy and Kellie do not deserve to raise children. They have no legitimate values to share and are poor role models at best. I'll bet Troy's father is mighty proud of him. He was in charge of security for the show. Supposedly he and Kellie are going to move in together at the end of the month. One of their close friends has informed me that Troy is many, many months behind on child support with his ex wife in California. Why am I not suprised. They certainly weren't taking much care of their children at the show. But then when you spend all of your time dodging the truth that would leave precious little time to look after children. This activity is only the tip of the iceberg as Troy has stepped up his criminal activity the past few months and will soon be on the recieving end of a stiff prison sentence and all the benefits that accompany it. Stiff will become a way of life for a little punk like Troy. I am sure that his dance card will be filled every night in the penetentiary. I am going to list some important names and numbers if anyone would like to call and inform parties of their feelings on the subject.

The local number for the Consumer Affairs
Division of the Tennessee Commerce Department is 615-741-4737, and the
toll-free number is 1-800-342-8385


KUNG FU SAN SOO that adress is 98 NORTH LOWRY STREET
SUITE 100 SMYRNA TN 37167 ask for LARRY WIKEL {troys dad)
615-223-7002

I'll post Kellie's cell phone number when I get to the office. If anyone else still has it feel free to post it here. I will not rest until these two have been arrested and stand trial for their misdeeds/criminal actions. Stay tuned.
 
Nicely put Roark, if you make it to Nashville, holla at us at the store. We'll even let you touch a cornsnake...something that you are not used to in TN. Anyway, keep me informed. ----Sean

Oh, and the singer was Aaron Solinger whom in case you are woundering just landed two originals, "a Little Time Alone" and "Destroying Me." lol, they must be topping the charts!

Let's not forget the outright deception that started with Kellie's written statement that over 6,000 tickets were presold for the event and the continuous lies foisted upon us throughout the event until (like the cowards they proved themselves to be) they bolted and ran from the show unable to face the accident of their own construct. I urge everyone to Call Troy's dad (aider and abettor) at the number in my previous post and praise him for the wonderful job he did in raising Troy. After that calls to Kellie should remind her that even if you get rid of the skunk, you will never get rid of the stink. This shame will follow them for all of their reptile lives.

Kellie Wikel's number: 931-639-3905
 
So Kellie and her father-in-law?? Ugh! Of course, it's UGH for Troy, too. Ah, I'm gonna start making some calls, Roark. They definitely show that this is the path they've been on a long time. Nothing will change. I hope Troy likes his "dates" in prison. Kellie should be there, too. Hopefully, the kids will go to someone who will raise them with some morals. If they go to Troy's dad, though, they'll be raised to be like Troy and Kellie.
 
This is unbeleivable! To think that they scammed so many from so many places. After reading this I really wish now that Troy or Kelli would have got the crap kicked out of them at the show, at least I would have felt somewhat compensated.
 
Hi, this is the first time Ive been on this forum but we all have something in common. We are all looking for Kellie Wikel for some reason or another. Im looking for her because of one of her children, Jaiden-her oldest child. I believe Roark Ferguson and other members of this forum have contacted, or has had contact with my fiancee's parents concerning this matter. Any feedback from anyone about Kellie, Jaiden or anyone else concerning this matter, please feel free to contact myself @ [email protected] or manuel becerra @ (714)553-5354 or @ [email protected]. Again any feedback would be greatly appreciated. Ive read everything on this forum and I believe that if we all work thogether, we all will have a better chance of finding those two idiots dont care what kind of effect selfish actions have on others.

Thanks, Sarah
 
After bilking a woman out of nearly $20,000 in a fraudelent recording contract with music never recorded and royalty rights that will never come our traveling trash duo of Troy and Kelly Wikel have struck again in Gainesville, Florida. After securing a buy from a business broker on Pet Paradise or Paradise Pets with a fradulent land deed from nonexistent California property in lieu of cash to obtain the pet shop the couple apparantly embezzeled thousands over a few week period before their alleged criminal activity was discovered. Two agents acting on behalf of the store's owner physically threw the karate kid and his wench out on their little bums into the street. They retreated to their little hole in the wall apt only to find their vehicle repossessed and the electricity cut off. DSS was called and sent to interview them and their neglected 4 children courtesy of one Kate Chamberlain the store's owner. We will keep you posted. Will somone in Florida please take out the trash!!!
 
My name is Kate Chamberlain and I own Paradise Pets in Gainesville FL. After Kellie and Troy pulled their scam on you all they came to FL supposedly to buy my pet store. They gave us a secure note secured with land that Troy said he owned in CA for $125,000.00 that land turned out to be owned by someone else not Troy clearly fraud. Also they deposited $10,000.00 to a bank with a check (ha) that was on hold. I don't know what ever happened to that because they took all my store sales and wiped out the bank account. They even convinced my credit card company they owned my store, using a bogus bill of sale, and had all the credit card sales diverted to their account. To say the least I had them evicted from my store and am trying to recover. They even had enough balls to hire an attorney with my stolen money and filed today a breach of contract! How can you help me? For one if anyone out there who has had dealings with these scumbags will call Mike at loss prevention Hartland payment systems and give him the heads up on these people. 1-888-963-3600 ext 1231. Heartland is holding my credit card sales because Kellie and Troy filed a civil suit against me. If anyone is looking for them I know where they are. You can have them.
 
Did DSS take the kids?? I doubt it. For some reason, Kelli and Troy get away with every crooked thing they do. They really need to have their kids taken from them because they will teach those kids to be just like them.

Kate, I hope you can get things straightened out but they have a history of screwing people and bailing without suffering the consequences.

I recently spoke with a gentleman who works at the Nashville zoo. He said they pulled their stunt in Lousiana like they did last July here in TN. They get around.

Kate, don't count on them being where they were living. They are like gutter rats and they slink away through the gutters when they realize they've been caught.

I hope someone can get them in one location long enough for the law to arrest then and put them in jail.
 
I don't know about the kids yet. The landlord where they were renting called my husband and told him they had no furniture and the kids slept on bare floors he (the landlord)was turning off their elec. that night for nonpayment. Poor kids. The last time I saw the baby was in the stockroom of the pet store it was dirty and roaches were crawling in it's carseat. So I hope DCF has them. I haven't been able to find anyone who has actually filed charges on the bad checks, they have just written it off as a lesson learned. If Kellie and Troy aren't held accountable they will keep doing this. Thanks for the support, I have to go to court on Tues March 28th on their bogus breach of contract suit. If anyone can send be a affidavit of your experiences with them I's appreciate it. You can e-mail to [email protected]
 
Kate,

I'll be sending you an email. Maybe Roarke can help shed some light for you since they really took him as well as Mike from Premium Crickets.

Oh, and the kids were nasty at the July show in TN. It was disgusting.
 
Sherry
Can you call 1-800-453-5145 Dept of family services and speak to Jamie ID# 5165 and tell him what you saw of the kids in TNN
