    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....

GREGORY BOWMAN AKA thedietcokeguy BAD GUY and should be avoided by all means

Thanks Robert, that was a fairly good read, I learned something new today. So I guess my only protection is to completely pull the funds from PayPal as quickly as possible, to avoid losing the payment made and if an attempt for a charge back is made then funds won't be lost, only my PayPal account will be sacrificed.
 
I got it, thanks for the info Robert.

I also have positive feedback to report on Gregory Bowman -I'd hate to post duplicate info, but the summary is that I rec'd email verification that the group of 9 snakes was delivered, rec'd confirmation of receipt of the package and upon opening the package the snakes were accepted by Gregory Bowman.

If you reference posts #13 & 27 of this thread: http://www.faunaclassifieds.com/forums/showthread.php?t=440545

For what it's worth, his fiance also emailed me thanking me for taking such great care of them and for the effort that I put into the packaging of them.
 
Greg has bought a couple different times recently. One deal was late last year, and the other deal was earlier this year. Both deals were between $1500-3000 I believe. Or at least something close to that anyway. Both transactions went really smooth for me.
 
I'm still quite annoyed they called my place of business making legal threats after that other thread I linked above. Totally uncalled for and unprofessional IMO.
 
sorry to bring up an old thread. i am not a dealer, purchaser or have any affiliations with animals but the love i have for my frenchie. I was assaulted by Gregory Bowman last friday in Montclair California.
I took actions and contacted code enforcement under the assumption that Gregory was living in his unit. Come to find out there was alot more hidden in his unit.

please see attached url for news report

here is an update for gregory bowman whoever was looking for him

Wow, I just read about this situation, if you reported it - Good for you!

Thousands of animals — alive and dead – seized from Montclair warehouse
Once inside, Minook said, police and the Humane Society found boxes and debris “piled to the ceiling” and “literally thousands of chickens and exotic birds loose.”

As they further examined the inside of the space, they found fish and reptiles and many had perished.

“The snakes were just left inside their boxes and they were dead,” Edward said.
