    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....

Inquiry on bearded pets?

Scott

They included some paperwork, but big deal right? On the paperwork it said they are gauranteed to produce "pieballs" by the second clutch or my money back. What a joke!

They can run, but they can't hide. This has become a mission for me now. The sting of losing the money has passed. It is personal from here on out.

Troy, that snake you have pictured from bearded pets....is that a joke?!?! That snake is not a yhellow belly.......oh wait....I have a few that look like that....maybe I should call all of my normals and hets yellow bellies........NOT!
They are trying to get a quick buck$. And some people will fall for it. So yes, someone should talk to kingsnake and other classifieds about there acts.
I have been close to buying hets from them, but since I read this BOI, thank god for fauna classifieds BOI.
 
Hate to say it...

...but that wasn't a joke.

That was the actual pic of a "yellow belly" they had posted at KS for thousands of dollars. Look how sick that thing looks. Didn't look like it had been fed in forever and most likely kept on cedar shavings.

WJ, Scott, and the rest of you that got hit...I feel bad for you, I'd be pi$$ed if it were me, actually I am pi$$ed cuz' it happened to you - we'll get him...
 
I'm sorry, to my understanding, it looks like a normal ball. Everytime I see a yellow belly, they have the checker board patterns on the sides going down. Don't look like that has that pattern.

I could be wrong. If I was, sorry. Just that I don't really pay much attention to the yellow boelly projects due to that people are making fake yellow bellies every time, it's some times hard to know which is real and which is not.
 
Hey Jon,or whatever you name is today, Since you are here reading the boards right now, why don't you stay awhile and explain to these good people why you stole their money. And why are registered now as beardedpets (9-6-04) and are already registered as Jon1048 (1-6-04) ?
 
i inquired about there het albinos, this is hte pic they sent me, horrible editing job to take out the background for the photo, and also for some reason I have seen this snake before? anyone know who it is?

SCAMMERS@!!!

Hey,

I was sent the same pic claiming it was they father of the hets they were selling. What liars! Man, they are such a fraud. Someone should show up at the house and give them a little street justice.

Steve
 
Donj't know who's it is, but it wouldn't surprise me if the little weasel is stealing pics again. He's already been known to steal other people's intellectual property.
 
Yep, street justice does many things.......I still cannot believe they are still being allowed to do this, why cant they get a real job??
Where they make an honest living, probably cause their rap sheet is so long no one might want to hire them......
I wouldnt be surprised if they are doing credit card fraud, mortgage fraud, or any other type of fraud.....
these people need to go to prison.....
taking honet peoples money for hets that for sure are not hets is ridiculous.
They live to far from me for me to pay them a visit, it just sickens me.
to bearded pets::::
GET A REAL JOB AND STOP SCREWING PEOPLE FROM THEIR HARD EARNED MONEY!!!!
 
I just broke the TOS for KS and posted about Bearded Pets on the BP forum there.
No one can just come out and say these people are crooks or the KS gestapo censors you.
Well, I've had it with KS protecting these crooks and posted about them and referenced this site.
 
I did too

I posted yesterday about them and when I posted the link to this thread. Where it says Faunaclassifieds it said "bleep". lol. KS needs to face the problems with their TOS and allow people to post about scams and ripoffs. Them not allowing us to is a bunch of chicken<font color=red>[**censored**]</font>. I'll keep posting there until they do something about it. By them allowing scammers to use their site makes them just as guilty because they know about it. I'd like to know just how many people have been ripped off by them. I wonder how many unknowingly have their "Junk from the Trunk" and don't even know about this thread. As many ads as they have posted I wouldn't be surprised if there is a lot of them.

Keep up the good fight.

Important

I sent KS an email asking why they continue to let Bearded Pets post and their response was, that I was the person to send them an IFCC complaint. They have a three strikes rule. Until they receive 3 complaints throught the IFCC they can't boot them. After that, BP has to resolve all complaints before being able to post again. So if you have already or are going to complain to the IFCC do so now and send a copy of the complaint to KS. It's futile to try to stop them from scamming people unless we step up to the plate and take a legal swing at them.

Thanx

Well, in typical KS fashion, they have deleted the posts regarding Bearded Pets.
Poor Jeff may lose some advertising dollars if people found out that Bearded Pets were a bunch of crooks and they stopped selling on KS.
 
???? Now i'm real confused!

Ok after reading all of this for months and completely thinking these guys are full of crap which I still think they are for the most part but....

I found an Elijah Collins UGH@!@#

Anyway for those of you who have purchases animals that supposedly came from Elijah Collins you may want to contact him and verify he sold them to Bearded Pets. He is a Dr. but is not listed in any medical sites I can find to check on doctors so maybe he is a Dr. of Veterinary medicine which would add some credibility. He is located in GA. I found another in Florida

Here is his info:

Dr. Elijah Collins
2915 Manor Brook Court
Snellville, GA
30078

Phone : (770) 736-1195



Or another possibility:

Elijah Collins Sr.
421 E 15th St SW
Rome, GA 30161-6423
(706) 234-2529

Only 16 Elijah Collins in the US these are the only 2 listed in GA and there is 1 in Florida. Might be worth making a couple phone calls.
 
I would bet on the Dr Collins in Snellville, because that is one town over from Lawrenceville, where Bearded Pets is supposedly located. I found an Elijah Collins who is the pastor of the New Jerusalem Church in Snellville on this page ( http://www.gmba.org/Snellville.htm ) so perhaps he is a doctor of divinity. I cannot find a vet by that name in the area. If y'all can come up with something specific to inquire of Elijah Collins, I can swing by the church and see if it's the same guy.

I tried calling the number but got a answering machine. But if you could go by there and just tell him that Bearded Pets has been using his name as a breeder and find out if there is any validity for them to. Maybe ask him if he knows a Elena Egidi or Jon Trunk. If you were to do this we would love you forever :). I'd do it but I'm way over in California so it's a little more difficult, lol. And the name Elijah has also been spelled Eligah by Jon himself.

Keep up the good fight!

Scott

I called to and got an answering machine as well.

Does anyone know who is behind Bearded Pets? Jon Trunk? John Laperchia?
 
Who knows, he's used various alias's. All of my corrospondences with him he has presented himself as Jon Trunk. But Elena Egidi is who he has money sent to.

Scott Vernooy
 
Who is Elija Collins? That is were my 100% hets came from. ( hets HA HA )

Scott,
I'd be happy to go by, since the church is less than a minute from the house I moved to recently. I don't really want to go into an evangelical church and start accusing the pastor of something, but asking him if he breeds and if he knows these people is something I can and will do.
